My favorite coneflower is ‘Cantaloupe’ because it flowers prolifically all summer and fall. It also works well in flower arrangements since it blends well with other colors.
If you’re concerned about the burden of garden work now, wait till you’re 77.
Yep, that is a concern … lots of more experienced gardeners have told me to take care of my body and plan ahead as things get tougher to care for!
Cantaloupe is on my list to find!
As soon as your video ended I went on my morning walk around the house. I am 69 years old and perennials are my go to! I have over 60 perennials in my front yard garden beds and about 12 in my back yard. I did put in a 17x17ft cut flower garden in my backyard. My go to summer bloomers are the 9 hardy hibiscus, 8 of which are in my front yard!
I’m just starting to get into hardy hibiscus! I have one from last year that is already three feet tall!
Wow!! Amazing. What are some other of your go to's? I am considering Blue butterfly Bush. I like yellow and purple/blue colors and most important that the flowers hold their blooms a long time. 😊
Keep it up!! 💪 💯 👍🤗
@@beverlycharles6534 I have 2 pugster blue butterfly bushes. They take a little longer to wake up but once they start blooming they bloom all summer long. I had swallowtail and monarch butterflies throughout my garden .
@@okiejes55 REALLY??NICE!!! 😃😃😃😃😃 That says everything. I am on my way back to the store to get it. ❤️😍
@@beverlycharles6534 just remember with the butterfly bushes when you plant them they like their crowns above the soil line. I water around the plant never on the crown!
Love all the varieties of sun loving flowers that you discussed. Great information and facts. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
I had never seen coreopsis that were not yellow. Love the Ruby frost. I will have to look for it.
Please do! There are some lovely peach and apricot ones as well!
I live in central Louisiana and all lanatana are perennial for me; they reseed in my lawn like crazy. A mower keeps them in check, but they can definitely spread here. Those black berries they produce will become new plants. My old hedge, when removed, had tons of sickly lanatana in it which amazed me.
That’s amazing that they reseeded to readily!
I love the colors. Would love to see part 2 or 3 in the future :)
Coming soon!
Another Texas 🤠 gardener here! Great video. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
The tall verbena is one of the plants I scatter around my garden to have a beautiful height, without it taking too much eye space, love it!
It’s such a great place!
Hi, Amanda! Another great plant is Mexican Sage. Hummingbirds love it, and it's beautiful all summer!!!
I love it!
I also need to know how to divide perennials. I need to divide my bee balm in this fall. Definitely waiting to see your video on that 😊.
Will do!
Congratulations Amanda for the informations about theses flowers. You are a coach planter.Thanks yo😊❤
You are so welcome!
After seeing that gorgeous planter full of brightly colored Lantana I definitely need to grow me a pot of it here in Southwest Oklahoma zone 7b/8.
You should!
Such an informative video! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us!
Glad it was helpful!
Just the plants we need for the Texas heat! Looking forward to part 2. ❤😊
Coming soon!
Wonderful information Amanda, thanks! 😊
You are so welcome!
I love your videos Amanda!
Keep posting please. ❤️
Aww thanks! Will do!
Love all the varieties you went over today! A plant I have started using more of the last couple years that compliments a lot of these plants and handles hot weather is blue evolvulus. Proven Winners has one called Blue My Mind. Low growing, no deadheading and the hotter it is the better it blooms for me.
Oh, I will add that to my list to try! Thank you!
I grow all of these! You are spot on.....they are great summer performers!
Yay!
As always all your information is priceless. Always enjoy watching your videos. ☺️
Thanks so much!
Love all of these and I have quite a few of them. Thanks for all the info. I saw alot of tickseed at Lowe's recently (on clearance) and it's one I want to add to my rock garden. I have a purple and yellow theme going there. Cann't wait for part 2!
Coming soon!
Guara do amazing in my area. They start blooming in spring and bloom all through summer. I'm in zone 9a Louisiana.
Gaura is such a unique and whimsical plant!
You are so good at information filled videos! I have started Gallardia from seed several times and it does flower first year for me. It also spreads but not in an overly aggressive way.
That’s good to know, thank you!
Great plant choices. Verbena bonariensis is striking. Growing for first time this year from seed.
Wonderful!
Great video! Always very thorough information. Thanks!
Edited to add: I bought one dying coreopsis plant 3 years ago. I didn't think it would make it thru its first winter. Not only did it make it, it multiplied. This is its 3rd spring in my yard, and it is everywhere in my yard. Boy does it multiply.😅
Awesome! Hope you were able to move it to other spots and give some away!
Greeting's from Ireland, great video, We don't get many dry spells over here but sometimes we do. Plants that I have and would recommend and are drought tolerant are sage caradonna, osteospermum, alpine flowers, crocosmia, salvia's, gaura, echinacea, coreopsis, delosperma, daylilies, agapanthus, alstroemeria, sempervivum, acanthus bears breech's. We are lucky because you can save a lot of rain water over the winter I have forty three barrels out in the back yard that fill up during the winter. I use water can's to water the flowers in the front garden and just give them enough to keep them going.
Those are great suggestions! Also 43 barrels is amazing!
Thank you- love your videos- I am going to search out a Meteor Shower (love that one)!
Yay!
Thanks for the information about flowers that I love. A little information for you. 1)Blanket flowers grow on the dunes at the beach and are salt tolerant. Good for my zone 8b southeastern NC coastal garden. 2)American Dream coreopsis is not very drought tolerant. It is a threadleaf coreopsis with fernlike foliage and tiny pink blooms. The color of the blooms is gorgeous, but planted in the landscape, it looked more like a weed to me. The appearance of the plant is a gardener's personal preference. I love the yellow and gold varieties of coreopsis, but I want to try some of the berry colors this year.
Great info and very interesting about the blanket flower being salt tolerant!
Good list. Can't go wrong with the lantana and coneflowers. I have both in my gardens. I found some Pow Wow coneflowers in white last week and bought up the last four at the nursery. They said they can't keep them in stock. I'm hoping I have as good luck as you do with them. Salvia is one of my summer favorites that does well in heat and sun here in Cypress, TX and comes back every year. Also, vinca (reseeds itself in my garden) and angelina do well.
I’d like to have a patch of angelonia this year!
I really enjoyed your Video today
I'm so glad!
Love this video ❤ so informative and inspirational
Glad you liked it!!
Absolutely loved this video .
So glad!
Hi Amanda! Great video as always! I’m in Plano, TX and Pow Wow Echinacea reseeds prolifically for me. I do notice the area I have it in, the mulch gets washed away after heavy rain. It makes it easier for seeds to germinate.
Awesome!
On FL zone 8b/9: cut them back each year n they come back. Easy to root. If they touch soil they will root. Colors I have: yellow, lavender, white, pink mix, and orange mix.
🌷🌷🌷
Lantana grows wild in our hili g trails … that’s probably why it’s invasive. Here in Hawaii
I’ve seen it in Hawaii and it is beautiful!
Thanks for the info, great ideas!
You’re welcome!
This was a great video. Love the focus in on sun and a hot zone with long lasting flowers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this list and you have offered great information. I hope your garden tour was amazing.
It was!
🌸🌸🌸🌞. Your bougainvillea should do great in the heat as well.
I hope so!!!
Thank you for the information
You bet!
I appreciate your experience with these plants! My garden strives to thrive at 7500ft, zone 5b, clay soil. I grow things with careful planning. The sun is so very hot here, the air is thin and lacks humidity that plants like. Great info!! Hope your garden tour went exceptionally well and that you had a very lovely Mother's Day!
Yes it sounds like you have to very selective! Which is fun but also a little harder. The tour went great!
Some great information! Thanks ⚾️
Any time!
Isn't it amazing.... we gardeners always believe in the future.
🌷🌷🌷
Sea Holly is blooming in my garden now. Very nice to see it in bloom and full of insects to watch get nectar and pollen. I've planted lantana for years, almost all never grew back. So I have my standard yellow perennial I use as it comes back every year.
I started sea Holly from bare root this year and hope it blooms!
I live in North Texas as well and am loving the native blanket flowers! They carpet full pastures and along the roadways out by me. The vacant lot next door is just FULL of them. Great list planning to plant several myself this year.
I bet that is a gorgeous view in the empty lot!
I find in zone 9b in florida,my zinnias the giant one I love do very well even in heat and sun..also vincasespecially if I mulch them,so watering twice a week keeps them alive..
I just planted some vinca and I’m hoping they do better for me than they have in the pastZ
I'm in zone 5b Canada and my purple Magnus and White Swan coneflowers will reseed for me. I grow mostly perennials and bulbs with annuals in containers. I grow perennials because it takes annuals until later in the summer before they're at their best. Bonny
I would love for mine to reseed so easily!!!
Great information! I live in Central Texas and you gave me some new plants to try. Thanks
Yay!
Have a new flower bed that I planted an arch of different colored coneflower plus some I started from seed. Can't wait to see how it comes out. 🌻
Wonderful! That is going to be beautiful!
Thank you so much I’ve been searching for flowers that will work over our hot summers here in Texas. I’m excited to look for these varieties. I have zinnias and sunflowers growing now and these will be done by the end of June so looking for other options. Thanks again. I hope your garden walk went well this past weekend.
Go ahead and start another round of sunflowers and zinnias! That’s called succession planting and you can keep them by ping for longer.
Good Morning to you ~ perennials YES❤ summer 2024❤ just planted the lantanas yesterday. Nice to have met you on the tour. Thanks for suggesting the verbena b. - will add that to the back of my Salvias Garden (south side garden)😊
It was so good to meet you on Saturday! I walked in afterwards and told my husband I met the sweetest lady named Donna! I’m going to get the salvia you gave me planted this week!
Hello! I planted some orange, cantaloupe-colored coneflower from Monrovia a couple of years ago, and left the seed heads all winter thinking maybe the birds would eat them. I don’t know how much the birds ate them, but to my delight in the spring, I had many more cone flowers and they bloomed their first year.
Also, I have grown heated up gaillardia and left mine in the ground over the winter and covered it when it got really cold, and it is coming back now!
It’s always so fun to see plants that you didn’t expect to show up in the spring. garden math! (I’m just a tad south of
you in Mesquite).
Maybe I need to try to cover my heat it up gaillardia!
Love the video!🌸 I love my cannas during the summer and they perform so well here in the south- zone 8b
I’ve struggled with them but I think that’s because I put them in pots instead of the garden bed.
I live in zone 9A in coastal Alabama and my coneflowers reseed themselves! One of my favorite flowers!
Oh wow!
Found you, I'm so glad I am in 8b also. Azle, TX I need your teaching so much.
Welcome to the channel!
Thank you for the heat tolerant flowers, I’m in the central valley CA and this will come in handy. Our summers can get up to 116 and my garden struggles every year.
That’s crazy hot!!!
Thank you, Amanda. Great helpful information. We went to a plant nursery and they had the most beautiful huge verbena along with other tx native plants. We were just an awe with how tall and full the verbena gets. We asked for this plant but they were sold out. So its in my daughters and I list to get later.
Verbena is such a wonderfully beautiful plant!
I definitely want to add some coneflower to my garden this year 😊
You should!
I've focused more on summer flowers this year. I am wanting to put more pots around for fillers and was trying to think what to plant in them. I didn't even think about lantana, so thank you for that :)
I love tucking pots in different places ❤️
Love this list! And I especially love (as always) that you are in Texas since this is a different level of summer than most places. 😂
I was going to say that vinca is a powerhouse for me here in San Antonio. It blooms like crazy even when not watered every day in the west facing intense triple digits. I wonder what is getting yours? That’s a bummer.
I also hate being out there in the horrible heat, so it was strangely encouraging to hear you say that. It’s just about maintenance at that point. I feel like summer is as enjoyable as January and February are in the far north. We’re just getting though it mostly. 😅
Summers are all about survival in Texas!

I love coneflowers too❤ I have several in my perennial beds. One plant/patch that is massive and over 20 years! Ive never had them reseed. I have a bunch of new seedlings to plant out.. Paradiso mix and white swan. Ive got several dozen seedlings of each!
I had no luck with the paradiso … it’s three years old and has stayed so small but I can’t figure out why. Any thoughts?
I'm in Michigan coneflower does reseed here. Especially native coneflower. I found if my mulch is sparce and I have more bare ground I get more seedlings. It won't in heavy mulch. Thanks for sharing your garden it's lovely!
Thanks for sharing! I wish my reseeded!
One summer heat lover that I absolutely adore is the corkscrew vine. It gets huge so have some space for it. The aroma is intoxicating - reminds me of a jasmine or a very mild hyacinth. It is pollinated by ants so don’t freak out when you see ants on it. The blooms are magical. We let the vine grow across our outdoor string lights so the blooms drop similar to wisteria.
I’ve never heard of it but I’ll go look it up now! Thabns!
Salvia and lantana were my favourite last year and they returned this year - bonus- I’m N TX also.
Loving the information in this video looking forward to part 2!
I wish my lantana had come back but I’m planting more anyway!
@@shesamadgardener I’ll be planting more too!
I’ve had fantastic results this year - free plants- taking cuttings from both and growing them on.
If this winter is cold I plan to cover and protect. 🤞two years I over wintered my lantana in my garage 👍
Hi Amanda yes the allergies have been horrible for me too; Lantana are my go-to here they go spring through winter ⁹9b Ca",Jan I give them a hard cut to 3 inches.So they can rest.Candy tuft, salvia,roses,hotlips,mamouth sunflowers,, bachelor buttons zinnia's, All but the last 3 are perennials bachelor buttons do reseed and I will dog them up in spring and move them around yards.As always a wonderful informative video, Thank you for all you do! Have a great gardening day.🕊️💚
I’ve never thought to dig up my bachelor button seedlings and move them 🤦♀️ … thank you!
@@shesamadgardener I let them do their thing over the winter and late winter early spring March their a couple to12 inches so it gives me a chance to thi and dig without damaging them.When I plant I do it deep and let them be.Your welcome , good cut flowers 😊
Look forward to your daily videos
I didn’t know there were other colors of coreopsis. I have three that are yellow lol. Can’t wait to get the ruby one. Where do you find it?
I got mine from a local nursery but I’ve also seen it online at Bluestone Perennials
I live in eastern NC and Lantana comes up everywhere!
That’s awesome!!!
Just the purpurea reseeds here. 9b California desert
I’m excited that I added that variety to my garden this year.
Hello, your garden is looking beautiful. I watch you every morning while having my coffee. This video is perfect for my Florida garden.
Where did you find the glasses with flowers on the frame?
They are Betsy Johnson brand!
I think my coneflowers spread by roots.🤷🏾♀️ I have lots of new plants every spring.
They are such a great plant!
Great suggestions for our brutal summers here in Texas. Where's the best place to find the seeds for the tall purple verbena?
I’ve seen it in a number of places including Swallowtail Garden Seeds, Southern Seeds, and Johnny’s.
Amanda, this is a perfect topic for a girl from Middle Georgia. I feel like there is way less information for hot season zones. What plants survive the heat? and how do we survive the heat? Is there a better answer than to go inside and close the curtains! Your flower choices are all good. I would add Salvia Farinacia which comes back for me in zone 8!
I am from Florida and cannas did pretty well in full sun although they do like moisture
I’ll go check out that variety, thanks!
Thanks for the information and suggestions 😊 I have a question: how do you collect the seeds from the verbena meteor shower and when?
The flowers begin to age and turn brown towards the end of the summer … you can collect them then. I just let mine fall to the ground. If you are going to start them from seed, I suggest starting them in January.
I planted 10 lollipops in my garden at the beginning of the year. They are all blooming now. I wish you would have said when to harvest them for cut flowers, because mine are dropping flowers in the vase.
They do drop flowers as they are constantly producing bloom after bloom!
I found that if you start gaillardia seeds early enough, they will bloom first season. I have solid yellow and traditional firewheel varieties both from seed and both return from plant and reseed each year. I can share yellow seeds!
What do you think about starting them in the summer and planting out in the fall? That way they can overwinter and come back in the spring.
@@shesamadgardener you could totally try! Let me know if you want any seeds!
very informative info. So when do you suggest starting seeds for Pow Wow? I see others growing them successfully here in zone 9b Houston but mine always seem to get some sort of leaf problem.
I’m going to start mine now and get them planted in the fall so they can overwinter and come back strong in the spring.
Lantana was one of the "gifts" the British gave India back in the day. It is extremely invasive in India. To date, India is battling a very serious Lantana problem and has been spending a lottttt of money to get rid of it. 😪🙄
Wow! I had no idea!!! That’s awful!
Sea Holly, great for cut & dry flowers but, is tough to probate or start seed. Do you have anything on that?
I’ve struggled to start it from seed but had good success with starting to from bare root … I currently have three in my garden!
what about ice plant? they will be an annual but they are so bright and cheery.
Oh, love ice plant!
I want to find a new 2024 lantana called passion flower. Its suppose to be good for containers.
Ooo, I want to see that too!
@@shesamadgardener i meant passion fruit lantana! By ballflora. You can google it
I love Meteor Shower, but mine didn't reseed and I harvested seeds and they didn't germinate :(. I was seriously disappointed! It was on the northern side of my gardens and I wonder if that's why? I've been watching for it at local nurseries, but no one seems to have any. I hate to order online since the shipping is so expensive!
Shipping can be pricey! How about ordering some seeds online?
@@shesamadgardener Funny you say that! I actually bought the seed, but I feel like I'm a little behind with them this year, so I didn't start them! Do you think it's too late?
Hello Amanda. What about red hoy pokers
I’ve seen them but never grown them! They are a perennial correct?
@@shesamadgardener Yes they are. Mine flower late summer and I divide every three years
When can I divide my coreopsis tickseed? Thanks
It’s best to divide in the fall!
Thank you. I enjoy your videos so much!
