When is the best time of year to do a major landscape architecture overhaul with perinnial plants in Texas?

1. perinials --any time you wish
2. Fall. Give them a chance to get established before our searing Texas summer heat.
3. Month of April in the colder regions. Start planning for next year. Warmer parts of Texas you can have great results with November plantings where a freeze is not likely. Texas must have four or five climatic zones.
4. Fall. If you plant a perennial in fall 2006 and the same plant in the spring 2007 - by summer 2007 the one planted in the fall will be larger and healthier than the one planted in the spring. In the winter when the "top" of the plant is not growning the bottom/roots are growing so it's getting established even though you can not see it because the top looks dead or brown.
