lol it’s detrimental the first year, but it comes back every year and you can even divide them and plant them elsewhere or share with others! It’s a great investment! That’s what I tell myself, lol 😂!
The bed when Laura shows the Russian sage…what an ooo and ahh area! I do love how Laura explains things, and she is so full of joy when she gardens and talks about gardening. She is so inspirational!
You showed the names and then the plants. You did an outstanding job. You chose perennials that are hardy so even a new gardener would have success with your suggestions.
I very much appreciate your giving us names of plants both verbally and written ! I appreciate your honesty in pronunciation of some of these plant names ! Good luck 👍🏽!
I appreciate how easy you are to listen to and how normal your videos are. You are just being you and doing your thing and not trying to be over the top or impressive and I appreciate that. Thank you.
I know many say they watch videos with their morning coffee. I watch them at lunch at school. My 4th graders come in and drop off their lunch bags. Hearing their comments and a “what’s she planting today?” makes me laugh. Yesterday someone asked how the sweet peas were doing. 🤣Today they enjoyed the lungwort blooms. A few of the boys told me their mother’s favorite flowers. ❤️❤️❤️
barbershopchick, you're teaching even during lunch by piquing your students' interest in plants and having fun conversations with them! That's wonderful! Good teachers find teachable moments everywhere! I taught teenagers for 28 years. My freshmen would have loved this!
I use these type of videos to familiarize myself with the names. When I go to the garden center and read the tags I think okay Laura has told me about this one. I am enjoying my garden more this year than ever before. Thank you Laura.
When we first bought our 'forever' home, we spent half on perennials and half on annuals each year. We love the annuals for quick color and spreading to fill 'blank' areas, and the perennials obviously for the longevity. So each year we had less and less area to fill. Now we share our best perennials with our neighbors - black eyed susans, siberian irises, gladiolas, geraniums, and lots of others. So much fun!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏.

Hi from Indiana, its Feb. 7, your video makes me have spring fever 🎉. I love your videos, you give so much information that is so helpful and I LOVE THE CATS!!! They are adorable!!! I retired in October and I'm so looking forward to being able to spend more time in our yard, its so therapeutic!! Your place is beautiful!!! You do great work!!! Thank you!!❤
We had a customer come into our garden center today, asking about specific plants that she has seen in your videos 🥰 As soon as I heard “Garden Answer,” I had to go over and chat with her. It was such a neat experience to discuss videos of plants and specific areas of your garden, and have her know exactly what I was talking about. She’s the first person from our teeny tiny Indiana town I’ve had come in and been able to do that with. So fun!
@@allysonh6410 We are about 2 hours southwest of you, but we carry just a handful of perennials, definitely not the wide selection in this particular video. It was just a neat experience to have someone come in and mention Garden Answer, and be able to chat with her about Laura and Aaron and their videos.
Laura, what a wonderful video. So informative and delivered beautifully. I’ll share with my garden groups. I’ve been gardening 60 years and still learning new things from you. Thankyou my friend!
This might be my very favorite video I’ve ever seen. Like, EVER! I was seeking some info to plan my landscape for curb appeal year-round but you make me feel inspired to take up gardening as a hobby. The way you love each plant in it’s own way is so charming. You are such a delight! Thank you for such a gem of information that was fun to watch. There are probably so many people that you’ve inspired and think of you as they garden. Thanks again!!
So true! 😃 Out of intuition, I did this to my one and only Autumn Joy Sedum I bought last year and the little branches bowed a little, then I watered them, now they are upright in the ground, and looking alive! so I figured they’re doing great! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I love the educational videos! This is the type of video that sets Garden Answer above ALL others. Packed full of information. Beautiful photos. Pleasent vibe. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much. I love that nearly everything you mentioned is deer resistant. I gave our local deer a $500 salad bar last year so I'm trying to get some some things that will make it this year.
My landscapers have destroyed about $2,000 of plants in the last couple years. So aggravating. My husband has talked with them several times…not sure if they are taking the plants or what. 2 years ago I planted 30 Hellabores…10 in the front side garden, 20 behind our tree house….only 5 left behind the tree house… and they used electric shears on my my hydrangeas which I have several varieties; so I had hardly any blooms last summer. I’m just sick to my stomach as I have put so much time and money into developing my flowerbeds and landscape. My husband doesn’t want to fire them as we do have a high maintenance yard. I told him that they are landscapers they should know what they are doing. I’ve tried talking with them about not touching certain plants and they seem to forget what ever I tell them….am I the only one that struggling with the landscapers?
I love your enthusiasm. I always want to buy plants, seeds and get my hands dirty I the garden after I watch you channel. Keep advising us on options for our regular Flower Beds.

Hostas!!! Hostas are what brought me into the Garden Answer world. Last spring I searched UA-cam for videos on care and transplant tips and your videos were first to come up. I was instantly hooked by your wisdom and charm and will forever be a fan of both Garden Answer and of this amazing perennial! 💚
I LOVE these videos in which you feature individual plants and share your knowledge with us - your details are often ones we don't always find in books and plant descriptions. Actually, I love ALL your videos. The changes and upgrades you are making in your gardens are so exciting to follow. Thanks for all you do.

Wow! What a wonderful selection of plants. I fell in love with hellebores after I started watching GA videos. Now I have so many more ideas 🥰 Good Morning GA Family/Community 🌄🌱 Let's face it...we are all family. 💚
Have grown many of these perennials both sun and shade-loving. Have many hostas and Japanese Anemone in the shade garden. Have several sedums and sages on the south side. Thanks for adding Lady’s Mantle as I left her at my other house when I moved. I have a spot where a Gaillardia didn’t make it this year. I’ll find Lady’s Mantle this year and put her there! I love the feathery yellow blooms and the way the accordion leaves catch the dew drops!
I love these videos because they have me daydreaming for the day I buy a house. A first time home buyer styled video could be a fun idea, you know in case you ever run out ;)
This video just reaffirms for me that shade gardens are my favorite. I love colorful leaves even more than flowers. Hostas, brunnera, heuchera,-love them!
What an incredibly informative and helpful video. Most videos have too much talking, this one gives information with every sentence. I agree take the names, write them down, order online -- incredibly helpful
My daughters know you as my bestie. I watch every episode! Thank you sooo much for lots of information about everything! Love your videos and I learn soooo much!
I'm pretty heartbroken that I forgot his name and was scrolling the comments because I knew someone saw the cameo for that sweet sweet boy 😿she sure does have good luck with orange boys😻
I love your excitement. First thing every morning I go out to my very small garden to see what is happening. I say morning to each bee. I get so excited at how much growth and the blooms make me so so so so happy. Makes me Thank God for his creation. What a Blessing.picked my first tomato this week.

I totally agree and easier to care for because they are native (as you said - hardy). I belong to my local Botanic Garden which propagates and sells native plants.
Totally agree! My rules for my garden are that a plant either needs to be native (which is my preference), OR it needs to keep its hands to itself in the garden.
@@christinegomes3030 I’m curious what region you’re in, you might be surprised. But there’s no need to be a purist necessarily, just keep wildlife in mind
Growing up in England with my grandparents and gardening with them was a delight my grandmother grew beautiful roses and geraniums. She won several neighborhood garden competitions. Now living in New Mexico has been a challenge but slowly coming around. I have learned so much from you sharing and caring I thank you so much it has encouraged me to continue in my small garden. Always looking forward to the next lesson.
I've also had luck with irises, Asiatic lilies, columbine, and blue flax in New Mexico. The only daylily that has performed really well for me is an old variety called Frans Hals, which alternates yellow and orange petals.
So glad to have run across your videos. Being a retired nursery owner and lifelong green industry participant living in Reno ,NV l appreciate finding garden related chats emanating from the western part of the country. Not that I don’t appreciate the many garden influencers that come from, say, North Carolina and such. But advice and experiences from the East don’t translate exactly to the west. Love your 15 perennial video. I recommend all of the same ones to clients and friends. Your spot on in your recommendations. Would like to see some xeric videos. And hear a little of your background in the trade. Keep up the good work.
It's hard to find such great information like this, thanks. You are a wealth of information. And yes, I watch you too, with a cup of coffee in the morning to start my day.
Thank you so much for doing this video! 😄 It is so helpful to beginners like myself. 🍃🌱🌸 It’s good to know the difference between sun and shade plants that put on a big show!! And I love how you pop up pictures of each plant. 💗
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Plants, blooms, leafs, so beautiful…you are super descriptive and very informative. Thank you for sharing.your beautiful garden with us.
That's what I love. I would rather perennials over annuals. If I am spending money on plants I want them to come back year after year. 💓 Thanks for the list.
Denise, yes, I agree with you. And some perennials multiply (which you can divide and replant elsewhere), or if you decide you want to rearrange your garden, dig up that perennial and relocate. 😁
I have come to appreciate annuals, and many of them act somewhat like perennials in that they set seed, and if you are patient and don't mulch too soon in the spring, you may be delighted to find little annual baby seedlings that you can then thin. It is such a delight to discover them. (I check what to look for on Google images for any annuals I may be unfamiliar with.) I love perennials too, but I have certain spots that I reserve for annuals, and once they get blooming, they are gorgeous 'til the frost. Cleome is one annual that faithfully seeds itself, and I also have Gomphrena "Strawberry Fields," which is hard to find at nurseries.
I wish I had luck with my lavender. I have planted it about a half dozen times and it never comes back. I have most of these other perennials, but no luck with lavender. I have good luck with everything else.
My mom is a huge hosta lover. A lady in her neighborhood several years ago was cleaning out a bed of “Patriot” hostas and my mom took several home. They get huge in her garden! She doesn’t seem to do anything special but they just seem to love it. She also has some of the biggest and most beautiful “Colossal Blue” hostas I’ve ever seen! She bought them as bare roots at Costco years ago and they have thrived. Hostas don’t seem to mind the heat, oppressive humidity, and heavy clay soils of Alabama, in fact they seem to thrive in it. They do however seem to benefit from being mulched around to help hold the moisture in.
One year, I dug up a couple of hostas. There is a wooded area in my backyard...so, I just put them there...not planted, fully exposed roots and all. That year, we had a very cold and snowy winter. In the spring, I noticed that those hostas were starting to green out, getting new leaves! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think they would survive. I finally planted them. The problem for me is that there are a lot of deer. They love them and will eat the leaves down to the stem. It doesn't kill the plant, just is ugly for the season. Hostas are a very tough and easy plant. Very low maintenance...maybe water now and then.
Good morning Laura, Sending 💕 from Windermere, Florida zone 9b I don't know why, but I've lost Sedum twice. I just realized it must be "too good care" After 50 years of gardening I am still learning 👍👩🌾
Love, love love your videos! You are so knowledgeable and concise! I have learned so much! Could watch you all day. Started out watching your hydrangea video and an hour later, well, here I am.
I love your spare communication style. I’m impressed with your knowledge and how you provide so much detail. I do think it would be helpful to know where your “area” actually is.
So happy I can walk into my local nursery and sound like a pro as I’m describing which perennials I’m looking for, though I’m a newbie gardener 🤣 the snobs will be impressed LOL!!! Thanks Laura!!!
WOW!! This is such an informative, beautiful site. Unlike some gardening videos which are more about the person talking than the plants talked about, your personality and your knowledge about plants shines through to make an enjoyable learning experience. I also love the fact that you included an full listing of the plants and sources discussed. I was furiously making notes on your remarks until I realized that you had made a summary that I could copy and paste at the end. Thank you.
Oh my gosh. . . . I am so blown away by all the the information you gave to us. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! i CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SHOWING US ALL OF THESE VARIETIES!! I have deer and rabbits that think my yard is their new grazing area. . . . .but this gives me hope.
This is exactly what I need!! My garden is such a challenge and I don’t do well in heat so when you talked about perennials that want to be left alone, you called my name loud and clear!! Thank you so much!!

I don't know anything about plants or landscaping, and I was expecting to not be super interested in these videos, but I love to watch you! I love listening to people talk about their passion and you are so fun to listen to! I never leave comments on UA-cam, but I watched your videos for over an hour, and have learned so much. Thank you for teaching me!
I love these "lists" and Laura's instructions along with the varieties. It would be really helpful to learn about how to combine perennials and annuals - in general but also with some specific successful combinations. I would love to see Laura's take on that too.
This was very helpful. I'm starting a garden that's in full sun ALL DAY and I love the selection of plants you had representing full sun. Also have heavy deer pressure so thanks for including that in the description!
This video is perfect timing! I’m fixing a neglected bed that sees all 3 types of sun in the garden of my rented apartment, and I am excited to fill with perennials so it looks beautiful even after I move out. I’ll be looking for nearly everything you mentioned. Thank you! 😀
Glad your parents grew plants,and you are adding to it. I have a few you mentioned,and will look for the others,they all look great Thankyou for your efforts and names of perennials
Good morning from Maine! Just wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration to me that I start following your channel and looking forward to what you have in store in your garden! Keep safe and more power ❤️
I just love how you take most of the guessing out of what type of plant, where to plant it and the zone that it works best in for us. Your knowledge of gardening is such a beautiful gift to us. 🪴💐🌻
You are so knowledgeable when it comes to plants. You are the best Laura. Thanks for helping us avid flower lovers know more. I’m thinking about taking out and starting over . All my beds are so overgrown it’s a big mess. I’ve got so many white iris’s and canna and day lilies. My hostas are coming back after my husband ran over them with lawnmower. Accidentally of course😊
Thank you Laura so much for everything you do, thank god for you, and I love your whole family, especially your mom, she is beautiful and funny. I like your antique shopping, I think anything you do to keep you feeling good to keep giving us all this knowledge about garding, ect; is part of the package, you have to relax sometimes, and a pedicare is a good way to do it. Thank you for this video, 15 perennials every garden should have. Thank you too Erin you are awesome as well. I thing you two will be like the Gardner, people will be talking about you after you are gone. I have been wacthing your videos, catching up from 2014, and you are truley a God sent, the knowledge, the list goes one. I will say goodbye now, because I could talk forever. My husband got sick of me talking about you Laura, asked to see your channel, I showed him, he subscibed right away, and we are trying to winter sowing, gardening, ect; bye for now, and keep doing everything you are doing, espicially shopping!
I just love this video! I am mostly a veggie gardener but I have been wanting to incorporate more flowers into my garden to encourage more pollinators into my yard. (I already have an abundance of unwanted bad bugs as we live near a large creek with tons of trees!) This was great information as well as having the video pictures of the plants in bloom! Thank you again!
What a great video, with not a second of wasted time! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for the gorgeous photos! Especially valuable for my area is knowing which perennials are deer and rabbit resistant. I planted Autumn Joy sedum last year, which wintered beautifully, but I never would have thought to use it in arrangements. Keep up the great work!
Weird request Laura. I was weeding a flower bed yesterday and thought “I wonder how Laura hand weeds a bed”? What is her process and tools to do it quickly and efficiently. A video please??? It would be helpful. Love your family!!
I love this kind of format! I love to see you break it down even more and do a series on one plant at a time. Maybe you could show a lot of different varieties of one certain plant and explain it’s light and water habits along with good companion plants. Great video! Heck!
Super helpful video and content! I've been watching you for a while now, but this list was one I took notes on and did pause and replay a couple of times. I really liked how you broke the plants down into sun versus shade versus part sun. Thanks so much!

As a southern gardener, I learn about new plants from you! Some of the plants you mention are actually available and it makes me walk past the “typical” southern annuals. Thank you so much!
Great video! This is so helpful. My husband and I just bought our first home and all the garden and yard areas are neglected but have so much potential. I am going to do a huge yard makeover this spring and this video gives me great ideas!
I love this!!! You are so pretty and I love your voice. I love how enthusiastic you are about plants. And how you’re so appreciative of your parents!! We had a 12” garden running between the driveway and the house next door growing up. My Grandma grew beautiful Lilies of the Valley in that long area. I planted a few in my front garden in her memory!!! OMG ! They are SO INVASIVE!! I’m still pulling them out 10 years later!! Same with the little pumpkins on a plant!! This video was so helpful as I live in a 6b area. I’m not a beginner gardener but I’m looking for more variety of perennials!! I use stonecrop as a ground cover but it’s out of control. As are the Hastas, day lilies, coneflowers and sedum. My husband can’t help himself from fertilizing and the sedum are enormous!! Thanks for all the ideas!! Another thought. How do I get my husband to stop getting grass clippings in my gardens? Every year, I spend so much time redoing my borders! I know he tries but one blade of grass is so invasive! I’ve tried rocks, bricks, edging, spraying vinegar carefully on the grass. I just had a knee replacement!! HELP
This is such a great video! I love that you split the plants out according to shade-loving, sun or shade, and sun-loving categories. To me, buying plants is a lot like buying paint. There are soooooo many choices that I often go into overload and end up going home empty handed. Your explanations and descriptions of how to arrange the plants are so helpful. Thank you very much.
@@hanvandermijn9758 you can slow down the speed! In the right top corner are 3 dots. Click on that. It will give options. Click on playback speed and adjust to your liking!
I get overwhelmed too, but unlike normal people i still come home with dozens of plants and no plan. But i have stopped doing that now, and instead make a plan of what i want to grow, before i go. So far so good, and all the plants are in, except a few vegie seedlings. But i have plenty of room for those. Planning really is the way to go. Gonna watch this vid now to get more ideas. Good luck!
This is going to be my go-to video for planning out the plants in my small but widely varying front yard- a small patch of full sun, a generous amount of shade, and sections of part sun. Thanks for highlighting these varieties! It’s not an overwhelming list, and something I can use to build an eye-catching display!
Really enjoying your videos - I live in Sydney, Australia and have just discovered your channel in the last few months - I've learnt so much and find you very easy to listen to - your knowledge and love of plants is amazing and infectious!
Excellent suggestions for various kinds of perennials. Your watering and fertilizing directives are spot on, especially comments about deer-resistant plants (one of my concerns since my gardens are near a wooded area). I am planting more and more perennials in containers, something I never thought of doing in years past. Perennials seem more "bullet proof" in containers, in my opinion. Keep these videos coming!
Thank you soo much for this video. We recently bought our house, so this is our first summer here. And, it’s my first time having a yard. So I’m a fish out of water when it comes to gardening! I couldn’t have asked for a better video, for beginners like me. I love how you threw in there how tall each plant gets! It has helped me decide where to put them. You’re awesome! 🥰
This was so informative! Thank you for passing on all your knowledge so freely. Before my mom passed, she was my go-to for gardening questions. Sometimes I still get down, not being able to ask her about plants anymore. But I am learning so much from you and even my husband will sit and watch your videos with me! 😊
Eeek! I've been looking for this information for years! Thank You! We are taking out a lot of our grass for desert drought gardening. Know I can start filling in with beautiful desert drought flowers😳😍🥰😘
Sorry but of course he disappeared. House cats have not evolved to spend time successfully and safely in the wild and I always feel sad when I see them wandering outside. I cringed when I saw the appearance of the cat outdoors in the video. Please keep cats indoors. Safer for them and the environment (birds have enough pressure from humans). They’re unnecessary predators in most suburban and rural environments. And for goodness sakes absolutely spay/neuter them - already thousands of unwanted pets killed in shelters due to irresponsible humans.
@@Wee162 TOTALLY disagree with you. First: they are not house cats. They are cats. They can be domesticated, but they love, LOVE to be outside. It's only the last few generations of some people in some cultures, that keep them indoors. You lock up animals, that belong outdoors, for life. I find that utterly mean! If you live somewhere, and it can't be different, there is another choice: get a hamster instead! But here in Europe on the land and in the suburbs almost all the cats are free range cats. Like we all were free range kids. But nowadays, in countries like the USA, people lock up their kids too. And there are so many evil people there, that you can't even let your child walk or bike to school. What a deranged culture! What has been taken away from those poor kids! I deeply cringe, each time I see that. No beings are worse for the environment, than humans!!! That sick bird, that a cat occasionally catches, at least doesn't have to die a slow death. So PLEASE, stop jailing cats for their entire lives! And if you live somewhere, where you have to keep them indoors, at least never let them go outdoors from birth. That said, that cat that went missing, was a male cat, always kept indoors. He HATED it indoors. HE desperately wanted to get outside, so the woman, to whom he belonged before, looked for a place, where he could roam free. With her, in jail, this cat was utterly miserable. With me he had the best of times. If perhaps a car got him, he was dead right away. But that's far better, than a life time of incarceration! Male cats have a normal radius of 3 to 4 miles. You give him feet instead. CRUEL. Plus we ALWAYS spay and neuter our cats. In many shelters you get a free voucher for that, to make sure even people with less money can have that done. Only as&hole people neglect that, so kittens are born. But usually many cat lovers have several cats, so it does not get out of hand here. The cats in all of my neighborhoods, no matter where I lived, always had their own family, who took good care of them and loved them like a family member. Cats also are very useful, for keeping the mice and rat population under control. In some countries these pest animals can eat up to 30% of the grain. When Australia got rid of its outdoor cat population, they got a major mouse pest. Many millions of mice took over their farms. But also in our small town, my neighbor, who didn't have a cat, several times borrowed my cat for a few hours to get rid of the mice in her garage. Worked just fine. Otherwise they gnaw through everything.
When I was reminded of the hail damage you got previously in the section where you were talking about the Hostas, I was like !!!!! will the Hartley be ok?! I'm sure it will be... it has to be! I see a lot of comments where viewers wake up to your videos. I live in Melbourne, Australia and love winding down in the evening watching your videos before bed. Thank you, for bringing beauty to our days.
I'm in the Yarra Valley and I do the same. If it's late at night I can sometimes catch the new videos before I go to sleep. They're both so inspiring. Love their videos
Thank you for all your great information. Iam a avid gardener. Ihave been a gardener for over 50yrs .my mother;my3 sisters &one brother; are gardener we all live in different zones from Connecticut to the Carolinas. We are always talking plants and gardening. and what we are doing from one year to another.my named is "Veronica"and ijust love the perennial Veronica.the pink one and my hostas are the greatest. .thanks again for the great information.
Videos like this are detrimental to my bank account. 🤑
But when Spring and Summer roll around it's all worth it. 😍
lol it’s detrimental the first year, but it comes back every year and you can even divide them and plant them elsewhere or share with others! It’s a great investment! That’s what I tell myself, lol 😂!
The bed when Laura shows the Russian sage…what an ooo and ahh area! I do love how Laura explains things, and she is so full of joy when she gardens and talks about gardening. She is so inspirational!
You showed the names and then the plants. You did an outstanding job. You chose perennials that are hardy so even a new gardener would have success with your suggestions.
I very much appreciate your giving us names of plants both verbally and written ! I appreciate your honesty in pronunciation of some of these plant names ! Good luck 👍🏽!
I appreciate how easy you are to listen to and how normal your videos are. You are just being you and doing your thing and not trying to be over the top or impressive and I appreciate that. Thank you.
Excellent delivery. A true pro. Most enjoyably educational.
I know many say they watch videos with their morning coffee. I watch them at lunch at school. My 4th graders come in and drop off their lunch bags. Hearing their comments and a “what’s she planting today?” makes me laugh. Yesterday someone asked how the sweet peas were doing. 🤣Today they enjoyed the lungwort blooms. A few of the boys told me their mother’s favorite flowers. ❤️❤️❤️
What a nice story. God bless you for spending your days with our youth. Thank you thank you
LOVE this story! I taught 4th too and we followed cooking shows :)
barbershopchick, you're teaching even during lunch by piquing your students' interest in plants and having fun conversations with them! That's wonderful! Good teachers find teachable moments everywhere! I taught teenagers for 28 years. My freshmen would have loved this!
@@sandytaylor8482 climatezones
Love this! Teach kids about nature and growing things as early as possible!
I use these type of videos to familiarize myself with the names. When I go to the garden center and read the tags I think okay Laura has told me about this one.
I am enjoying my garden more this year than ever before. Thank you Laura.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Nice, agreed..
ua-cam.com/video/klyIVMOdNlM/v-deo.html
Since watching Garden Answer I can proudly say I have MOST of the plants mentioned! Thank you Laura!
COOL!!
Hello Pamela
Wow~ impressive!
ua-cam.com/video/klyIVMOdNlM/v-deo.html
Very Helpful, took notes, but I be watching again for learning.
When we first bought our 'forever' home, we spent half on perennials and half on annuals each year. We love the annuals for quick color and spreading to fill 'blank' areas, and the perennials obviously for the longevity. So each year we had less and less area to fill. Now we share our best perennials with our neighbors - black eyed susans, siberian irises, gladiolas, geraniums, and lots of others. So much fun!
I would LOVE a video of perennials for a wildflower-inspired meadow!!!

Hi from Indiana, its Feb. 7, your video makes me have spring fever 🎉. I love your videos, you give so much information that is so helpful and I LOVE THE CATS!!! They are adorable!!! I retired in October and I'm so looking forward to being able to spend more time in our yard, its so therapeutic!! Your place is beautiful!!! You do great work!!! Thank you!!❤
You have such passion and knowledge about plants and flowers. I enjoy watching your videos and your beautiful gardens.
We had a customer come into our garden center today, asking about specific plants that she has seen in your videos 🥰 As soon as I heard “Garden Answer,” I had to go over and chat with her. It was such a neat experience to discuss videos of plants and specific areas of your garden, and have her know exactly what I was talking about. She’s the first person from our teeny tiny Indiana town I’ve had come in and been able to do that with. So fun!
I would love to know what greenhouse your at. Im having a hard time finding things like this near me
@@allysonh6410 We are about 2 hours southwest of you, but we carry just a handful of perennials, definitely not the wide selection in this particular video. It was just a neat experience to have someone come in and mention Garden Answer, and be able to chat with her about Laura and Aaron and their videos.
@@jessica.walton gotcha! Thx!
How awesome!!

You’re amazingly direct with the information without lengthy over talking
Laura, what a wonderful video. So informative and delivered beautifully. I’ll share with my garden groups. I’ve been gardening 60 years and still learning new things from you. Thankyou my friend!
This has to be one of THE most helpful videos yet. Well presented and inspiring.
5:18 5:20
This might be my very favorite video I’ve ever seen. Like, EVER! I was seeking some info to plan my landscape for curb appeal year-round but you make me feel inspired to take up gardening as a hobby. The way you love each plant in it’s own way is so charming. You are such a delight! Thank you for such a gem of information that was fun to watch. There are probably so many people that you’ve inspired and think of you as they garden. Thanks again!!
You Rich too!?😎
Glad I’m not the only who loves to watch her down to earth descriptions and suggestions.
I love your pick of perennials
LOVE this video. Thanks for much.
In MO we call sedums " Live Forevers" . One only has to cut a branch off and stuck it in the ground, and it roots itself and becomes a plant!
So true! 😃 Out of intuition, I did this to my one and only Autumn Joy Sedum I bought last year and the little branches bowed a little, then I watered them, now they are upright in the ground, and looking alive! so I figured they’re doing great! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Sometimes birds rip off pieces of mine and drop them and they root in where they are dropped.
I did that!! I'm trying to expand my sedum area and it's working.
Thank you. My friend always gives me cuttings of her all her garden flowers and I can never tell if they will root easily or not.
I’m in Missouri... and I can verify this comment!😊
I love the educational videos!
This is the type of video that sets Garden Answer above ALL others. Packed full of information. Beautiful photos. Pleasent vibe. Thank you for all you do.
Yes. Much appreciated!
Agreed 🌻

Thank you so much. I love that nearly everything you mentioned is deer resistant. I gave our local deer a $500 salad bar last year so I'm trying to get some some things that will make it this year.
Me too..I consoled myself by telling me that the deer were really desperate for food in the drought..but still..
Haha Good luck with that!!! My "deer resistant" plants have all been pruned by the deer!!! They finally found my Hostas this week. :(
azelas, rodedendrom, dahpes, daffolis, bearded iris, hellebores are kangaroo/wallaby proof (they know they are toxic) so worth a go for deer too
My landscapers have destroyed about $2,000 of plants in the last couple years. So aggravating. My husband has talked with them several times…not sure if they are taking the plants or what. 2 years ago I planted 30 Hellabores…10 in the front side garden, 20 behind our tree house….only 5 left behind the tree house… and they used electric shears on my my hydrangeas which I have several varieties; so I had hardly any blooms last summer.
I’m just sick to my stomach as I have put so much time and money into developing my flowerbeds and landscape. My husband doesn’t want to fire them as we do have a high maintenance yard. I told him that they are landscapers they should know what they are doing. I’ve tried talking with them about not touching certain plants and they seem to forget what ever I tell them….am I the only one that struggling with the landscapers?
Have you guys ever tried Liquid Fence? It's been working really well for me so far.
I love your enthusiasm. I always want to buy plants, seeds and get my hands dirty I the garden after I watch you channel. Keep advising us on options for our regular Flower Beds.

Hostas!!! Hostas are what brought me into the Garden Answer world. Last spring I searched UA-cam for videos on care and transplant tips and your videos were first to come up. I was instantly hooked by your wisdom and charm and will forever be a fan of both Garden Answer and of this amazing perennial! 💚
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
I LOVE these videos in which you feature individual plants and share your knowledge with us - your details are often ones we don't always find in books and plant descriptions. Actually, I love ALL your videos. The changes and upgrades you are making in your gardens are so exciting to follow. Thanks for all you do.

I was opposite, as they face downwards 🙄.
Thank you for this video
I so love your enthusiasm! So many people don't get how much I love my garden!!
Have grown many of these perennials both sun and shade-loving. Have many hostas and Japanese Anemone in the shade garden. Have several sedums and sages on the south side.
Thanks for adding Lady’s Mantle as I left her at my other house when I moved. I have a spot where a Gaillardia didn’t make it this year. I’ll find Lady’s Mantle this year and put her there!
I love the feathery yellow blooms and the way the accordion leaves catch the dew drops!
I love these videos because they have me daydreaming for the day I buy a house.
A first time home buyer styled video could be a fun idea, you know in case you ever run out ;)

You can still container garden until then
This video just reaffirms for me that shade gardens are my favorite. I love colorful leaves even more than flowers. Hostas, brunnera, heuchera,-love them!
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
What an incredibly informative and helpful video. Most videos have too much talking, this one gives information with every sentence. I agree take the names, write them down, order online -- incredibly helpful
I felt blessed that I have found your channel. God continue to bless the work of your hands!

Every garden should have lots of native plants, they’re hardy, beautiful and most importantly they are essential for wildlife
I totally agree and easier to care for because they are native (as you said - hardy). I belong to my local Botanic Garden which propagates and sells native plants.
Preach! I have about 100 different species in my garden, and about half to 3/4 of them are natives. Just can't beat them!
Totally agree! My rules for my garden are that a plant either needs to be native (which is my preference), OR it needs to keep its hands to itself in the garden.
Unless an area really doesn’t have many natives. Here it’s mostly grasses that die in the heat of the summer...
@@christinegomes3030 I’m curious what region you’re in, you might be surprised. But there’s no need to be a purist necessarily, just keep wildlife in mind

Omg thank you🙏🏽
Growing up in England with my grandparents and gardening with them was a delight my grandmother grew beautiful roses and geraniums. She won several neighborhood garden competitions. Now living in New Mexico has been a challenge but slowly coming around. I have learned so much from you sharing and caring I thank you so much it has encouraged me to continue in my small garden. Always looking forward to the next lesson.
I have gardened in New Mexico all my life. I have roses and geraniums. They do well here.
I've also had luck with irises, Asiatic lilies, columbine, and blue flax in New Mexico. The only daylily that has performed really well for me is an old variety called Frans Hals, which alternates yellow and orange petals.
So glad to have run across your videos. Being a retired nursery owner and lifelong green industry participant living in Reno ,NV l appreciate finding garden related chats emanating from the western part of the country. Not that I don’t appreciate the many garden influencers that come from, say, North Carolina and such. But advice and experiences from the East don’t translate exactly to the west. Love your 15 perennial video. I recommend all of the same ones to clients and friends. Your spot on in your recommendations. Would like to see some xeric videos. And hear a little of your background in the trade. Keep up the good work.
It's hard to find such great information like this, thanks. You are a wealth of information. And yes, I watch you too, with a cup of coffee in the morning to start my day.
Thank you so much for doing this video! 😄 It is so helpful to beginners like myself. 🍃🌱🌸
It’s good to know the difference between sun and shade plants that put on a big show!!
And I love how you pop up pictures of each plant. 💗
Thank you for organizing these by light requirements...much appreciated...would love to hear from others how these plants did for them.
I'm in zone 8. I've grown most of these and they do great, even with our terrible soil, heat and high humidity.
@@kmarch6630 Fantastic...thanks!
Zone 6a, our hostas are very reliable every year and tolerate both shade and sun :)
@@omegasage777 That's great, thanks! We have 2 that thrive and another 2 June hostas that have not done great. We'll see how they do this year.
I’m in 10b and have penstemon, hosta, hakonechloa and they all do well here.
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Plants, blooms, leafs, so beautiful…you are super descriptive and very informative. Thank you for sharing.your beautiful garden with us.
This is a good video too... ua-cam.com/video/W4ybnMTSZ24/v-deo.html
I’m so glad I found you. I’m Oregon city so 7b. But I could just spend hours walking your garden
That's what I love. I would rather perennials over annuals. If I am spending money on plants I want them to come back year after year. 💓 Thanks for the list.
Hi Denise
Denise, yes, I agree with you. And some perennials multiply (which you can divide and replant elsewhere), or if you decide you want to rearrange your garden, dig up that perennial and relocate. 😁
@@annetteyoutube742 👍yes, absolutely! I love relocating that I see them at a different place but still enjoy them🌻🌼🌸😁
I have come to appreciate annuals, and many of them act somewhat like perennials in that they set seed, and if you are patient and don't mulch too soon in the spring, you may be delighted to find little annual baby seedlings that you can then thin. It is such a delight to discover them. (I check what to look for on Google images for any annuals I may be unfamiliar with.) I love perennials too, but I have certain spots that I reserve for annuals, and once they get blooming, they are gorgeous 'til the frost. Cleome is one annual that faithfully seeds itself, and I also have Gomphrena "Strawberry Fields," which is hard to find at nurseries.
I wish I had luck with my lavender. I have planted it about a half dozen times and it never comes back. I have most of these other perennials, but no luck with lavender. I have good luck with everything else.
My mom is a huge hosta lover. A lady in her neighborhood several years ago was cleaning out a bed of “Patriot” hostas and my mom took several home. They get huge in her garden! She doesn’t seem to do anything special but they just seem to love it. She also has some of the biggest and most beautiful “Colossal Blue” hostas I’ve ever seen! She bought them as bare roots at Costco years ago and they have thrived. Hostas don’t seem to mind the heat, oppressive humidity, and heavy clay soils of Alabama, in fact they seem to thrive in it. They do however seem to benefit from being mulched around to help hold the moisture in.
One year, I dug up a couple of hostas. There is a wooded area in my backyard...so, I just put them there...not planted, fully exposed roots and all. That year, we had a very cold and snowy winter. In the spring, I noticed that those hostas were starting to green out, getting new leaves! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think they would survive. I finally planted them. The problem for me is that there are a lot of deer. They love them and will eat the leaves down to the stem. It doesn't kill the plant, just is ugly for the season. Hostas are a very tough and easy plant. Very low maintenance...maybe water now and then.

Good morning Laura, Sending 💕 from Windermere, Florida zone 9b
I don't know why, but I've lost Sedum twice. I just realized it must be "too good care" After 50 years of gardening I am still learning 👍👩🌾
Love, love love your videos! You are so knowledgeable and concise! I have learned so much! Could watch you all day. Started out watching your hydrangea video and an hour later, well, here I am.
I love listening to all of your knowledge just “rattling off the top of your head” 😆 so easily. I get hopeful and motivated for my garden!
Thankyou for the excellent editing! It's so helpful and inspiring to see each variety you describe in full bloom and maturity.
I love your spare communication style. I’m impressed with your knowledge and how you provide so much detail. I do think it would be helpful to know where your “area” actually is.
Oregon, USA I think!
So happy I can walk into my local nursery and sound like a pro as I’m describing which perennials I’m looking for, though I’m a newbie gardener 🤣 the snobs will be impressed LOL!!! Thanks Laura!!!
WOW!! This is such an informative, beautiful site. Unlike some gardening videos which are more about the person talking than the plants talked about, your personality and your knowledge about plants shines through to make an enjoyable learning experience. I also love the fact that you included an full listing of the plants and sources discussed. I was furiously making notes on your remarks until I realized that you had made a summary that I could copy and paste at the end. Thank you.

Oh my gosh. . . . I am so blown away by all the the information you gave to us. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! i CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SHOWING US ALL OF THESE VARIETIES!! I have deer and rabbits that think my yard is their new grazing area. . . . .but this gives me hope.
This is exactly what I need!! My garden is such a challenge and I don’t do well in heat so when you talked about perennials that want to be left alone, you called my name loud and clear!! Thank you so much!!

I don't know anything about plants or landscaping, and I was expecting to not be super interested in these videos, but I love to watch you! I love listening to people talk about their passion and you are so fun to listen to! I never leave comments on UA-cam, but I watched your videos for over an hour, and have learned so much. Thank you for teaching me!
I love these "lists" and Laura's instructions along with the varieties. It would be really helpful to learn about how to combine perennials and annuals - in general but also with some specific successful combinations. I would love to see Laura's take on that too.
I LOVE Bruna Silver Hearts!!! It is fun to watch this as it is obvious how much you love your plants!!! Thank you
Thanks!
This was very helpful. I'm starting a garden that's in full sun ALL DAY and I love the selection of plants you had representing full sun. Also have heavy deer pressure so thanks for including that in the description!
Good luck!! You’re so lucky for a full sun garden! Sending you good garden vibes.

You are so knowledgeable when it comes to plants. You are the best Laura. Thanks for helping us avid flower lovers know more. I’m thinking about taking out and starting over . All my beds are so overgrown it’s a big mess. I’ve got so many white iris’s and canna and day lilies. My hostas are coming back after my husband ran over them with lawnmower. Accidentally of course😊
Thank you Laura so much for everything you do, thank god for you, and I love your whole family, especially your mom, she is beautiful and funny. I like your antique shopping, I think anything you do to keep you feeling good to keep giving us all this knowledge about garding, ect; is part of the package, you have to relax sometimes, and a pedicare is a good way to do it. Thank you for this video, 15 perennials every garden should have. Thank you too Erin you are awesome as well. I thing you two will be like the Gardner, people will be talking about you after you are gone. I have been wacthing your videos, catching up from 2014, and you are truley a God sent, the knowledge, the list goes one. I will say goodbye now, because I could talk forever. My husband got sick of me talking about you Laura, asked to see your channel, I showed him, he subscibed right away, and we are trying to winter sowing, gardening, ect; bye for now, and keep doing everything you are doing, espicially shopping!
I just love this video! I am mostly a veggie gardener but I have been wanting to incorporate more flowers into my garden to encourage more pollinators into my yard. (I already have an abundance of unwanted bad bugs as we live near a large creek with tons of trees!) This was great information as well as having the video pictures of the plants in bloom! Thank you again!
What a great video, with not a second of wasted time! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for the gorgeous photos! Especially valuable for my area is knowing which perennials are deer and rabbit resistant. I planted Autumn Joy sedum last year, which wintered beautifully, but I never would have thought to use it in arrangements. Keep up the great work!
Weird request Laura. I was weeding a flower bed yesterday and thought “I wonder how Laura hand weeds a bed”? What is her process and tools to do it quickly and efficiently. A video please??? It would be helpful. Love your family!!
I love this kind of format! I love to see you break it down even more and do a series on one plant at a time. Maybe you could show a lot of different varieties of one certain plant and explain it’s light and water habits along with good companion plants. Great video! Heck!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Enjoy your tutorials each time. I learn so much tuning in from Ireland - love your energy & motivation for gardening. Best wishes 🌸🌻🌸🌻
Always enjoy your videos. You have ideas I would never think of making all your flowers beds gorgeous.

I love this!!! You are so pretty and I love your voice. I love how enthusiastic you are about plants. And how you’re so appreciative of your parents!! We had a 12” garden running between the driveway and the house next door growing up. My Grandma grew beautiful Lilies of the Valley in that long area. I planted a few in my front garden in her memory!!! OMG ! They are SO INVASIVE!! I’m still pulling them out 10 years later!! Same with the little pumpkins on a plant!! This video was so helpful as I live in a 6b area. I’m not a beginner gardener but I’m looking for more variety of perennials!! I use stonecrop as a ground cover but it’s out of control. As are the Hastas, day lilies, coneflowers and sedum. My husband can’t help himself from fertilizing and the sedum are enormous!! Thanks for all the ideas!! Another thought. How do I get my husband to stop getting grass clippings in my gardens? Every year, I spend so much time redoing my borders! I know he tries but one blade of grass is so invasive! I’ve tried rocks, bricks, edging, spraying vinegar carefully on the grass. I just had a knee replacement!! HELP
This is such a great video! I love that you split the plants out according to shade-loving, sun or shade, and sun-loving categories.
To me, buying plants is a lot like buying paint. There are soooooo many choices that I often go into overload and end up going home empty handed. Your explanations and descriptions of how to arrange the plants are so helpful. Thank you very much.
Sorry, you are talking to fast for me. I am 82 years old and english is to difficult for me in this speed( tempo).
@@hanvandermijn9758 you can slow down the speed! In the right top corner are 3 dots. Click on that. It will give options. Click on playback speed and adjust to your liking!
I get overwhelmed too, but unlike normal people i still come home with dozens of plants and no plan. But i have stopped doing that now, and instead make a plan of what i want to grow, before i go. So far so good, and all the plants are in, except a few vegie seedlings. But i have plenty of room for those. Planning really is the way to go. Gonna watch this vid now to get more ideas. Good luck!
Oke
This is going to be my go-to video for planning out the plants in my small but widely varying front yard- a small patch of full sun, a generous amount of shade, and sections of part sun. Thanks for highlighting these varieties! It’s not an overwhelming list, and something I can use to build an eye-catching display!
Same…I was going to have a pen and paper at the ready but I’ll just keep this video earmarked for future reference 👍🏼

Really enjoying your videos - I live in Sydney, Australia and have just discovered your channel in the last few months - I've learnt so much and find you very easy to listen to - your knowledge and love of plants is amazing and infectious!
You know I love ❤ planting and just love caring for plants all the way around
Excellent suggestions for various kinds of perennials. Your watering and fertilizing directives are spot on, especially comments about deer-resistant plants (one of my concerns since my gardens are near a wooded area). I am planting more and more perennials in containers, something I never thought of doing in years past. Perennials seem more "bullet proof" in containers, in my opinion. Keep these videos coming!
Thank you soo much for this video. We recently bought our house, so this is our first summer here. And, it’s my first time having a yard. So I’m a fish out of water when it comes to gardening! I couldn’t have asked for a better video, for beginners like me. I love how you threw in there how tall each plant gets! It has helped me decide where to put them. You’re awesome! 🥰
Pulmonaria are such amazing plants , they come out early in spring and are big and bushy already here in Western Massachusetts and in full bloom
This was so informative! Thank you for passing on all your knowledge so freely. Before my mom passed, she was my go-to for gardening questions. Sometimes I still get down, not being able to ask her about plants anymore. But I am learning so much from you and even my husband will sit and watch your videos with me! 😊
Eeek! I've been looking for this information for years! Thank You! We are taking out a lot of our grass for desert drought gardening. Know I can start filling in with beautiful desert drought flowers😳😍🥰😘
Am totally in love with your orange cat! Always around you. So loving.
My tomboy didn't come back in the early fall. Miss him so much...
Sorry but of course he disappeared. House cats have not evolved to spend time successfully and safely in the wild and I always feel sad when I see them wandering outside. I cringed when I saw the appearance of the cat outdoors in the video. Please keep cats indoors. Safer for them and the environment (birds have enough pressure from humans). They’re unnecessary predators in most suburban and rural environments. And for goodness sakes absolutely spay/neuter them - already thousands of unwanted pets killed in shelters due to irresponsible humans.
@@Wee162 TOTALLY disagree with you. First: they are not house cats. They are cats. They can be domesticated, but they love, LOVE to be outside. It's only the last few generations of some people in some cultures, that keep them indoors.
You lock up animals, that belong outdoors, for life. I find that utterly mean!
If you live somewhere, and it can't be different, there is another choice: get a hamster instead!
But here in Europe on the land and in the suburbs almost all the cats are free range cats. Like we all were free range kids.
But nowadays, in countries like the USA, people lock up their kids too.
And there are so many evil people there, that you can't even let your child walk or bike to school. What a deranged culture! What has been taken away from those poor kids! I deeply cringe, each time I see that.
No beings are worse for the environment, than humans!!! That sick bird, that a cat occasionally catches, at least doesn't have to die a slow death.
So PLEASE, stop jailing cats for their entire lives! And if you live somewhere, where you have to keep them indoors, at least never let them go outdoors from birth. That said, that cat that went missing, was a male cat, always kept indoors. He HATED it indoors. HE desperately wanted to get outside, so the woman, to whom he belonged before, looked for a place, where he could roam free.
With her, in jail, this cat was utterly miserable. With me he had the best of times. If perhaps a car got him, he was dead right away. But that's far better, than a life time of incarceration! Male cats have a normal radius of 3 to 4 miles. You give him feet instead. CRUEL.
Plus we ALWAYS spay and neuter our cats. In many shelters you get a free voucher for that, to make sure even people with less money can have that done.
Only as&hole people neglect that, so kittens are born. But usually many cat lovers have several cats, so it does not get out of hand here. The cats in all of my neighborhoods, no matter where I lived, always had their own family, who took good care of them and loved them like a family member.
Cats also are very useful, for keeping the mice and rat population under control. In some countries these pest animals can eat up to 30% of the grain. When Australia got rid of its outdoor cat population, they got a major mouse pest. Many millions of mice took over their farms.
But also in our small town, my neighbor, who didn't have a cat, several times borrowed my cat for a few hours to get rid of the mice in her garage. Worked just fine.
Otherwise they gnaw through everything.
Hello Lura, Aron, Benjamin and Samantha Wish you a happy and prosperous 2024.
I watched it 2x. Great video, I can listen to you all day!
When I was reminded of the hail damage you got previously in the section where you were talking about the Hostas, I was like !!!!! will the Hartley be ok?! I'm sure it will be... it has to be! I see a lot of comments where viewers wake up to your videos. I live in Melbourne, Australia and love winding down in the evening watching your videos before bed. Thank you, for bringing beauty to our days.
Good morning!☕☕☕have you seen white sunflowers?
I'm in the Yarra Valley and I do the same. If it's late at night I can sometimes catch the new videos before I go to sleep. They're both so inspiring. Love their videos
