    This is the best video I’ve seen on ground covers. Showing each one, how it thrives & placement was so very helpful. Thank you. It was an excellent video.

    I can't even tolerate looking at ivy or holly because they were so invasive and difficult both to "manage" or to "dig out completely" in the area I used to live in (mid coastal Calif.). Just discovered your podcast and am looking forward to seeing them all. I especially like the quality of your voice and that you type the name of plants you are featuring.

      @@susanlowell4759 Yes! I had nightmares from ivy and wintercreeper smothering the trees and bushes in the garden of a newly purchased house. They seriously looked like snakes, they were so huge. 😳 Once I’d hacked it all out I never wanted to see them again. Some really lovely options here. 💗

      Great video. I'm in zone 6b and Creeping Jenny went from a flower to garden. I left it because I liked the look. But it has even crossed a 4' brick walkway to get to another bed.
      But with climate change anything that offers the soil, stood weeds and holds moisture is Good.😊

    This is a beautiful video. I love that you enjoy so many different types of ground covers. I think it really makes a yard eye candy. Layered gardens are so intricate and interesting. I am zone 6A and I have discovered woolly thyme, black’s platt, sedum angelina, creeping thyme (though mine is a darker shade of green than yours), and sempervivums (hen and chicks) as the most amazing ground covers. I weirdly found sedum sarmentosum in the actual forest and transplanted a handful to my yard to see what would happen. It’s so happy there!

      Yes, we should think to add that with plants too. Anything can become aggressive if given the right conditions...My bee balm is a good example but I love it even though I spend hours pulling it out and relocating it each spring lol.

    Hon, I've watched a million videos on ground covers. I live in Chicago but I'm moving back to SC Coast. I'm a CEO but live gardening. It was my Grandmamas passion and I guess I got her gift. Anyway, since living here I've got into gardening heavily. FINALLY moving back to all warm weather. Looking for some good groundcovers for a 3 acre yard. With a big farm pond. Sorry all my videos are comedy.
    ANYWAY... THIS video has been the best ground cover video I've watched.
    I Also love Ajuga. I have the different varieties. I'm takin them all to SC.
    YOUR GARDEN IS BEAUTIFUL
    I'm also running a ground cover test...
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO ... Take Care God Bless

    Thank you for such a great informative video on a much needed area of gardening to learn. Years ago, i stumbled upon a species of hardy geranium that was very tiny, but formed a low spreading mounds similar to you sedum. i wish i could find it again ! On a side note, to give you an idea of why "Creeping Jenny" doesn't like dry conditions or CAN'T, this plant is also sold as a freshwater aquatic for fish tanks, where it grows quite well and rather happily !

    I have creeping thyme in zone 6b Boston. I love it! When I moved into my house ten yrs ago the side of my garage was just weeds, I couldn't plant anything because of tree roots from neighbors yard. I got 50 plugs of thyme and was able to plant it. It covered the whole area within the first season. I dug up pieces and put in the front of my house around an ornamental tree, i put a big rock where I wanted it to stop. I just trim as it goes over the rock. Over time there are two volunteer rose of Sharon's and a milkweed growing in the the thyme on the side of the garage(the tree roots are breaking down because the neighbors cut the trees so I can dig now) they all are thriving. It's a fast spreader but not difficult to pull. I have ajuga too that's not a problem either. Thanks for showing all these grounds covers because I need more, so sick of weeding in some of beds. The bees and butterflies love the thyme.

    @gshaw7252 9 місяців тому +2

    I enjoyed the video. One thing I would note is that Ivy can produce berries. Those berries contain seed. birds can eat those berries and spread them around. So controlling Ivy is not merely a matter of controlling the growth of the plant.

    • @TiggerTellsTales
      @TiggerTellsTales 9 місяців тому

      Thank you for sharing! Agreed but that goes for every plant that produces seeds including the ones in your lawn. It would be impossible to control every plant that way and I choose not to. My ivy is a haven for chipmunks, snakes, spiders and thousands of insects. I refuse to vilify it like so many others. It does no damage to my trees and I control it going into the canopy which is quite easy. It’s spread in the wild happened before I was born.

    • @planttasticcookinggardenin1561
      @planttasticcookinggardenin1561  5 місяців тому

      Yeah and that’s pretty much for every plant. I have no desire to control it if a bird wants to eat it. That’s nature…humans spend too much time controlling nature. 🙏I love ivy, it gives harbor to sooo many insects, chipmunks, etc. so I won’t be joining the haters club because it’s successful.

Ill go to a nursery tomorrow and try the seedum. I got alot of varigated ivy last yr and isnt growing very fast but then u said it sleeps then creeps and ? Grows faster the 3rd yr. So it is starting to grow more now. Also have some im training up the trees thats been there..a gardener came along snd ripped it off the tree so he could climb up!!!😢 anyway this is one of the most pleasing to the eye garden ive seen so far!

    I have some Hardy Plumbago (Ceratostigma Plumbaginoides). It was already here before we moved in. I thought it was a weed until one day I saw some beautiful cobalt blue flowers and decided to let it stay. Only just figured out what it was a year or two ago. For me it is a slow spreader, behaves pretty well, doesn't seem to choke others out. I'm in zone 8b Texas.

    I just love your garden/yard! So beautiful, interesting and natural. I found that my house has some of these that I have taken advantage of especially the little blue star plant, and the sedum. I have a disdain for the little violet rhizomes that I cannot keep out of my vegetable garden in zone 7b, but they are sweet and woodland looking. They are overtaking my backyard though. I think ground covered are my mom’s answer to not being able to take care of her flower garden. It gets overgrown with weeds and trees every summer and she gets so depressed about it.

    I love the way you use rock in your landscaping. Great video. My two favorite ground covers for sun are ice plant Fire Spinner and woolly thyme. Pink Chintz thyme, for me, looks too ratty after it blooms in the spring, and the weeds and grass take it over. Dragon's blood sedum is another one of my favorite ground covers as well. I battle with bind weed, and my ice plant and Dragon's blood sedum have solved the problem in one area of my back yard. Another one of my favorite ground covers is Partridge Feather. It grows in such a tidy clump, and the leaves are so adorable.

    Sedums like water as long as the drainage of the soil is good. If they get watered but the water stays in the soil it would be bad for the sedum's roots and they would rot.
