9320 C Hwy 75 South New Waverly The summer garden can be a riot of vivid colors in a cottage themed array of blooms or soft textures and muted tones to accentuate garden statuary. Whichever design you choose, the following list of Texas summer hardy annuals and perennials will assist in helping choose. Of course, these are just a few of your choices.
