Shrubs for Texas

Sometimes you need to go beyond Lowes and Walmart but if you look to national mail order organizations you could order a shrub that will never thrive in Texas.  I get all my Crape Myrtles from the Crape Myrtle Guy in Waxahachie through Amazon.  Otherwise, it can be extremely helpful to view those shrubs that are being planted and thriving in Dallas.  Enjoy!
