flowers in rocks
I have a very rocky escarpment, some loose rocks, some large areas of
limestone. Any flowers that are drought and heat resistant that will grow in rocky soil? Get's full unprotected sun all day. |

How about anything that might work well from seed?

Probably just about any Texas wildflower mix?
Cactus seed mixes may work as well, but it'd be a long time before you saw any results! A few mixed pots of small cactus might be cute, and would not be that difficult to plant. 4" pots of Lantana and Salvia coccinea are also easy to get and both grow well! My S. coccinea is getting VERY large now and I just got it last summer. :-) In article , "Carlos" wrote: How about anything that might work well from seed?

Ok thanks!
"escape" wrote in message ... I can come plant it for you too! Well, certainly red yucca does very well from seed, as does coreopsis spp. No seed will do as well if you don't keep it moist till it germinates and gets a good start. For this reason I recommend plants you have grown from seed first, then transplant them to the condition you mention. However, your effort would be futile if you think you don't have to first establish plants by giving them some nurturing. In nature, sure, these germinate on their own and bloom and grow. However, only under certain conditions. Nothing is random, but right conditions must be given, even for native species. With that in mind, I suggest you do a web search for what you are looking for as this can go round and round and round.
