Fantastic video! Thank you for putting it together! I’m sure it was time consuming. So much great information. It inspires to plant more natives in my garden. I love to see pollinators in my garden so I always try to bring plants that attract bees, butterflies and birds. Humming birds are frequent visitors here. Love your channel. Thank you for keeping it going!
Hi Devin . All these plants are amazing and so pretty The black viburnum it has afragrant flowers and its leaves turn red in fall , I have the snow ball viburnum and the tree viburnum and its flowers smell like almond blossom and.I hope our nurseries get the pretty oak leaves hydrangea to plant it in my garden .Have a wonderful day .
Really well laid out video and I must compliment you on showing the zone hardiness of each. It really is annoying to settle down to a great video or book, so you fall in love with the plant and there is no mention of the hardiness zone. Living in zone 4 you are very aware of this.
Great video, it was the bees knees. We garden in Ireland and we have echinacea, rudbeckia, yarrow, monarda, gaura, heuchera, gaillardia, coreopsis and asters. We would like to grow more American varieties of flowers but we don't have the space.
I love my oak leaf hydrangea, the fragrance is amazing. I have most of the ones you mentioned. Do you know if you can move baptisia? I’d never heard of the Mt. Cuba Center, I’ve been checking out their website and virtual tours. thanks for sharing. Bee balm is always covered in powder mildew for me. My ferns have taken a beating this year with all the heat.
Another potential issue with the nice looking cultivars with different leaf or flower colors, etc. is that if there is already a native wild population of that plant nearby, they could cross pollinate and it might alter that wild population's genetics. Some species would cross pollinate much easier than others, mints for example are supposed to be very good at cross pollinating, but your pink hydrangea arborescens with sterile flowers would probably not pollinate anything. I try not to plant any cultivars of wild species that I can find growing near me, it's better to propagate and increase what's already there (when possible) in my opinion.
You can type into google your desired plant and put bonap after it, and will take you to a website that shows a United States map. The map will show you all the species and which ones are native to your state.
Erie county PA. It is zone 5a-b. Snowbelt with 155" or more of snowfall per season would be considered mild winter. Reaches to -10-20°F. But, Not as much lately. Climate Change is sneaking in here!
So important to promote native plants! Our planet needs all the help we can give it!💚🌎✨
totally!!
I just moved to Berks County from out west and I’m so glad I found your channel! Thanks for the great recommendations!!
Awesome!! Welcome :)

Love your channel. Thank you for keeping it going!
Comments like yours are what inspire me to keep making videos :)
We have two Major Wheeler's growing on our arbor. It is just gorgeous; it blooms all season and the hummingbirds love it.
I need one!!
Thanks for all the information!
:)
Thank you so much for this!!

Thanks for watching!
Excellent collection. I'm in Boston so we share the same weather.
Rock on!
Excellent video as usual. I realize how much time goes into preparing such an extensive video. Thanks
Thank you Tim. It is a labor of love

The zone info is something I’ve also felt is never shown often enough!

Sounds like your garden is lovely!!
Thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊

Baptisia can be tough to move since it has a taproot but worth trying!
I thought we would see Passiflora vine. I grow the incarnata for the frittiliary butterfly/caterpillar.
Next time!
New to your videos. Please let us know if the plants are deer resistant.

yep bonap is great!
