Although my garden will never be totally native, I've pulled out all the invasives. I totally agree about the violets, wherever it plants itself I allow it to stay. Culvers Root is on my wishlist, I have a spot reserved for it but I'm having a hard time finding it. Happy gardening from the Pocono mountains Pa. zone 6A
Excited to see the new video! I bought two arbors after seeing your beautiful coral honeysuckle. On one arbor I have virgins bower on one side and coral on the other side. The other arbor will have just the coral. Do you have coral growing up both sides of your arbor? It is hard for me to tell in this video. When I was a kid I would walk to the edge of the yard by the woods to pick violets for my Mom. Now they are all over the yard because it is not a manicured lawn anymore. I love your channel and learn so much from you! I have planted so many different plants because of your channel. Too many to list here. I could go on and on. LOL. 🙂
Thank you! So happy to hear from viewers who find the videos helpful! Yes, there is one honeysuckle on each side of the arbor. The one on the shaded side grows more slowly.
And now I know why I'm seeing so many more of those giant moths...I have the lonicera sempervirens and the woodland phlox (i think). Last year I had many of those moths! Please, what is the Latin name of the woodland phlox you referenced?
Given your location, I’m sure you’ve had at least a week of day and nighttime temperatures above 50 degrees F (which is when most of the overwintering larvae have had a chance to emerge). Here in the Adirondacks we’re a bit behind you…
Thanks for a clear and straightforward video.
YAY, Lourdes! : )
Thanks, Alice!
Today I saw the 1st Clearwing Hummingbird Moth nectaring on Creeping Phlox and we do have native Honeysuckle. Yay!!!
They love my chive blossoms too! Lol
Thank you for commenting and for what you do to make your garden a better habitat!
I replaced junky Butterflybush (host plant for Stink bugs…yuck!) with Buttonbush. It practically drips with nectar.
Kudos to you for pulling out your butterfly bush. I pulled mine out years ago, and I'm still pulling up seedlings. Don't miss mine one bit.
Thank you for commenting and for replacing butterfly bush!
Thank you for replacing it and for all you do to make your garden a better habitat!
Great to see you Lourdes and happy spring!
Thank you Tara, I hope your garden is doing well!
I'm also growing coral honeysuckle but training it as a ground cover. I'm inspired to grow more natives after watching your video.

The vine is growing slow but it seems to like growing horizontal along the ground.
Thank you! So happy to hear from viewers who find the videos helpful!
It will grow slowly for a while, keep us updated!
@@NativePlantChannel will do!

Your spring tour is fantastic. Looking forward to your next tour. From Ontario.
Thanks Cathy! It's coming soon!
Your garden is beautiful! And thank you for caring about our beautiful planet.

Thanks for another great video! I'm into my third year as a native gardener and have learned a lot from them.

What zone are you in? I’m in MN, zone 4, and I wonder how many of your natives will survive in my garden?
She is in NJ, probably zone 5ish…
Northern NJ is Zone 6

Phlox divaricata
gulf fritillaries eat passion vine in Texas.
Yes, thanks for commenting. Native Plant Channel focuses on the northeast and midAtlantic, where fritillaries eat violets.
The best time to.plant a red bud is 7 years ago
The second best time to.plant a red bud is right now
You are so right Brian!

Hi, I just discovered your videos and I loved them. Can you recommend a native short shrub for Quebec and where to purchase native plants in Quebec?
My leaves stay in the garden. Hard to get people to realize their usefulness.
Thanks for commenting, hopefully more and more of the public will learn this.
So sad about your holly. You could try cutting it off about 8" from the ground. If the tree roots are alive, it should sprout.
Thank you for commenting. That is what I did and there are some sprouts!
