Excellent video. Would love to see these plants, together, in a hot climate no-turf garden design? I'm trying to renew my hot corner lot, HOA-tyrannized, where there are some foundation shrubs + A LOT of invasive spreading, matted ground-choking "grass" weed that's never been completely removed...
Yep. Even in zones where they can grow, like mine in San Diego, zone 10b, it’s not foolproof… they all have special needs. People think humans are the only ones with “special needs”… lol plants can be divas! Especially the succulents. People might see this video and think all these plants are just “set and forget” species, and none of what I can see are truly ‘self sustaining,’ one exception being the Agaves, which can grow in some colder climates as well. They basically can survive on rainfall alone, in arid climates; but even water won’t initially kill them, the issue being prolonged periods of wet soil… cacti require more water than agaves in my experience, and aloes are drought tolerant only after a WHILE…
I live in the high desert in New Mexico. These are tropicals mostly. I have been here 11 years, compost, and made improved raised beds. Still very alkaline. My native wildflowers are volunteering in my raised hugelkultur beds. Giant hyssop, Penstemon barbatus, Purslane oleraceae, Louisiana sage, bunching onions (in flower today), purple asters, a rare delphinium, a rare milkweed, banana yucca, Mexican Hat, are just a few that intersperse with my edibles. Good luck.
So wonderfully stange, for a North European like me, to see "House" plants, being advised as draught tolerant garden plants. That would never grow outdoors in most Northern European countries. 😮4:20😆 sorry, but that's NOT lavender... That's Grape Hyacinth or 'Blauwe Druifjes' ("small blue grapes") as we all know them here in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 🌷🌷🌷👋🏻
Hmm, this videos info is a bit generic, and many of these plants have special needs. Very few of these plants are just “set and forget”, even the agaves, lithops, and other succulents. I’d say ESPECIALLY the succulents! Lol. They can be needy as hell compared to what many ppl think! Some succulents have no tolerance for sun exposure and will burn, actually, any succulent is at risk of burning if you’re not cautious about where it’s placed. Even a cactus can sunburn. Agaves seem to naturally enjoy sun, but can take over if the babies are left unpruned. Lithops can’t really handle any water, more than a spoonful or two (literally) per MONTH. That being said, there are exceptions, so it pays to research…it’s not a foolproof option to use lithops… and really, they’re not a good choice for landscaping as they’re tiny, and only grow two leaves at a time. Split rocos, aka _Pleiospilis_ are a bit hardier than true lithops, but can be easily overwatered and turn to mush. And can sunburn.
Watched the first couple of minutes, but had to stop watching because you didn't Include the Latin names as well as the common names, and PLEASE, get your pronunciation correct. Thank you. BTW, you said that moss rose is not cold tolerant, but my mother grew it in Wisconsin, Zone 4, and it came back every year. Too many problems with this video...
Oleanders are extremely deadly and 3 leaves can kill a horse, deer or cow. The seeds fly into everything including pet’s water and food dishes if outside. Your kids and pets could die.
Wait...isnt the picture of lavender actually muscari?
A Chat-GPT page? 😅
No, that was just a highly saturated color photo of one of the purpley-bloomier lavenders.
U R right🤔🤣

The Veronica plant that I know of is totally different from the one that you showed but, it was a pretty plant!!
Veronica speedwell and the one you have is probably Veronica spicata.

Where do you live? See the Sunset Magazine's Western Garden Book for areas.
I don't think that was lavender. It looked like the Spring bloomer grape hyacinth. Beards tongue and Penstemon are basically the same thing
You should really provide growing zones, many of these won’t grow in 90 percent of the US.
Yep. Even in zones where they can grow, like mine in San Diego, zone 10b, it’s not foolproof… they all have special needs.

they showed a plant that isn't lavender when they were talking about lavender, someone doesn't know what is going on there
Yes, that’s muscari
No mention of USDA zones
No. 18 is NOT lavender, it is grape hyacinth, which is a small, spring blooming bulb best planted in drifts.
So wonderfully stange, for a North European like me, to see "House" plants, being advised as draught tolerant garden plants.
That would never grow outdoors in most Northern European countries.
😮4:20😆 sorry, but that's NOT lavender...

nr 18 is not LAVENDER - is actually muscari...... OMG Gardeners......
my mother killed blanket flower by drowning it submerged in water, some people are just lame

You lavender that your showing isn't lavender

BYE 👋👋
I think these videos are being "narrated" by artificial intelligence. Leads to some interesting pronunciation!
Oleanders are extremely deadly and 3 leaves can kill a horse, deer or cow. The seeds fly into everything including pet’s water and food dishes if outside. Your kids and pets could die.
Well they are all over in Galveston and no deaths here
These flowers are not significant, not attractive, small and scarcely scattered.
