Texas Mountain Laurel

:SCRATCH AND SNIFF:

I know, I know, computer technology isn't to the scratch and sniff phase yet, but...The Garden Center is! I took these photos in my front yard today, and it was just heavenly. If you want to put a little piece of heaven in your front yard, or just stop by the nursery and smell it for yourself, now is the time. We have 5 different sizes of Mt. Laurel in stock and they are all blooming beautifully. They have a strong sweet fragrance and are very easy to grow. Texas Mountain Laurel are considered large shrubs or small trees, ranging anywhere from 6 - 20 feet tall and up to 12 feet wide. They can be shaped to form a classic tree or left full to the base depending on preference.The flowers are lavender/purple/blue and bloom in late winter/early spring. They enjoy the alkaline soil which makes them perfect for our area. They are considered a slow to moderate grower, but once you smell those flowers, it's totally worth the wait.

Enough typing I've gotta get back out to MY garden!
