My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ideas for unusual winter plants

19 years ago

Hi,

I'm in Houston and wondering if anyone has had any luck with more unusual winter flowers. I was thinking about trying to get mail order summer plants from colder climates. We've had such mild weather the last few winters I thought it might be a fun experiment. I was thinking about English primroses. Any other ideas?

Thanks
