We have put these #Lavender plants through some truly tough Texas conditions so far this year in Collin County, and are seeing some clear standouts so far in terms of survival. Excited to see results across all locations over the next couple of years.
⚠️If it’s raining where you live, there’s a chance for flash flooding.
🚨Remember, Texas: NEVER walk or drive through flooded roadways.
