The Texas mountain laurel is a favorite full-sun landscape plant in the San Antonio area, and despite the exceptional freezes and low rainfall over the last three years, the blooms are well spread on Texas mountain laurels. The individual blooms don’t seem to be as large as usual, but their purple color and grape Kool-Aid fragrance are noticeable.
The Texas and Oklahoma versions of the species fare better in the heat than the Eastern selection, but all three are planted in San Antonio landscapes. Although I suspect the Eastern selection is more sensitive to cold, just as it is to heat, we will have to see how they perform over the next few weeks.
Use a pre-emergent herbicide for the lawn to prevent germination of summer weeds such as crabgrass and sandburs. Follow label instructions.
