I guess Houston has to have some redeeming qualities…

Houston has the good acidic soil and azaleas are much easier there because it is savannah land — grass land — which is acidic. Central Texas, Austin, is limestone which is very alkaline.

Austin is on the verge of the Hill Country.

Happy Easter!

I took a picture a couple Easters ago of some blooming azaleas at my brothers house in Houston and figured they didn’t need that much attention.
I like a nice lawn, flowers and plantings I let the boss take care of.
Happy Easter BTW.

Now those are azaleas but they have perfect water, perfect dirt, pine straw mulch and Augusta!

Happy Easter!

Filtered sun is best. These ones are all in the late afternoon sun which is brutal in the ATX and which requires a lot more water.

The azaleas are out in force in the ATX. Come see them.

Azaleas are very difficult to grow, like a startup.
