Houston Gardeening Tips to increase your homes value by 10%
Contributed by HTRE Admin on May 29, 2009

Finding suitable plants for Houston's challenging growing conditions can be difficult, but here are a few hardy gems which will enhance any garden.

Small shrubs such as Forsythia, the Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) and Dwarf Crepe Myrtle will bring a touch of color to your yard and need very little attention.

Colorful vines can be trained over gateways and up trellises. Try Carolina Jessamine which is covered in golden flowers in the spring; Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera Sempervirens) with gorgeous trumpets loved by hummingbirds and Virginia Creeper which does not flower, but the leaves become vivid red and orange in the fall.

Hardy ground cover plants can include the low growing junipers such as Andorra Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis ‘Plumosa’); English Ivy (Hedera helix) and hardy Mondo Grass.

In general experts estimate that a well groomed landscape can add 10% to your home's value.
