This might be a variety of Coreopsis. I bought quite a few plants (and bulbs) but forgot the names of some of them. I am trying to plant things that will attract butterflies and help the bees out. Thank you everyone for all your comments and views, it is appreciated.
Did you read :KoalaGardens🐨 ace replay? I agree with it. @grannysue to do this it's best to go and find out what native flowering shrubs belong in your area and plant a hedge of them :)
You also can use big pots but than you`ve to take dayly care and water it.
@pyrrhula No I haven't read KoalaGardens. I will look for it, thank you for mentioning it.. I have been trying to find things that grow here, either similar to wildflowers or what has been working in other people's gardens. In July, August and September it is extremely hot and dry here. The Coreopsis looks similar to a wildflower called Indian Blankets, that is why I picked it. One lady gave me Iris bulbs from her garden, hoping for nice flowers next spring.
@grannysue I`ve been in Texas in 1957 and what I did remember, it was very hot and very dry. That makes it very difficult to give advice. Maybe, medirterrranean plants/trees in pots ? The best guide is nature it self that suround you. . In those weather conditions there are no bees I guest
@pyrrhula I moved to Texas in 1988. It is very hot in the summer months, we are now beginning to heat up and it will be hot until probably September or October. It does take quite a bit of watering until you get plants established, then you can alternate the watering days (depending on how and where you plant). Look up Texas wildflowers. Those are some that I hope to plant.
