Asclepias oenotheroides
One of my favorites! Such an underrated native, and it does very well in a garden setting.

Yucca
These grow like weeds on my North Central Texas property. This tall one is the exception. It's probably over 35 years old. Most stay low to the ground. The soil is rocky limestone.

Just how bad does rough leaf dogwood smell?
Ended up buying a small rough leaf dogwood sapling on impulse at the native plant nursery because it said it was good for boggy areas. Further research at home revealed they can be unpopular yard trees due to smell, fly pollination, and aggressive spreading.
Anyone planted one and can weigh in? (The spot in my yard I was wanting it for collects standing water after rains and is under some power lines so I can’t go bigger.)

Erosion Control
I’m in USDA zone 8B and EPA
Ecoregion Level 2: SOUTH CENTRAL SEMIARID PRAIRIES; Ecoregion Level 1: GREAT PLAINS. My yard is sloped with dappled light. I’m looking for something to plant that will help me control erosion. I was thinking of Northern Sea Oats.
If you have experience with this plant, can you share the good, bad, and ugly of it?
Please note that I have two 10lb Chihuahuas.
Thanks.
