Winter Color for the Landscape

Winter in Lubbock doesn't have to be be brown all the time!  Nandina offers great winter color for West Texas.  Here are a few pictures I snapped in my back yard.

  

Nandina provides brilliant winter foliage!

Landscaped with City of Lubbock free mulch and drift wood from the farm.

Nandina is available locally in several varieties than can be used as a ground cover or a samll to medium sized bush.  The green plant in front is Mediterranean Pink Heather which stays low and compact.  It is green all year long and displays small pink blooms in the winter.  Don't over water, though, it likes to stay dry.
