- Check out these native plants for the northeast that will make your garden look great in August by adding color while being ecologically friendly! These natives attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators and will create a healthy habitat for many insects and birds. Many long-blooming natives are showcased! Your garden can look beautiful while being a healthy ecosystem that helps save our insects. Videos are much better than photos in making gardening choices because you can see how a plant grows, how tall it gets, how it can be used in your garden, helping gardeners visualize their own paradise!
Bought a summer sweet thanks to this video from a native nursery. I’m in FL, but I love your channel and we do share a fair amount of natives.
Thx for mentioning about mosquito control. Many lawn services really are not helpful to our fragile ecosystem. Mosquito Joe advertises that you can enjoy your yard again. I ask, “How can I enjoy my yard without caterpillars, bees and birds?” which they are killing!Thx for getting the true word out and for another great video!
Been buying natives since 2012 but recently more every year. Luckily an organization called Keeping Indianapolis Beautiful, helped plant many good native trees in my neighborhood. For that reason I have a wonderful Red Oak and KentuckyCoffee Bean tree. Because of Doug Tallamy I now know how important the oaks are. I’ve been really enjoying your videos. Thanks!
I have one single hummingbird that visits my house daily, and it likes the usual flowers (cardinal flower, coral honeysuckle, bee balm) but is also very fond of the "Jeanna" garden phlox!
Thanks for commenting and creating habitat for hummingbirds!
Blanket flower is a hit at my house!
Such a great video, and to share your loving habitat. Thank you Lourdes.
Great video… watch and learn😊
I have had the privilege of a personal tour of this lovely garden and it is beautiful.
Bee happy- plant for pollinators!
Thanks Mirta for protecting our pollinators!
Thank you for this beautiful and informative video.
Thanks for commenting, keep planting natives!
Love your garden 👍👍
Thanks for commenting! Keep adding those natives!
Thank you for the information and your efforts! Beautiful garden!
thank you , so helpful
Thanks for commenting! Keep planting natives!
My goldenrod has just started blooming. Looks good. I think I’ll try to plant a larger drift of it.
It is such an important plant, thanks for commenting!
Such an informative video!!! Thx!
There are hundreds of native bees that also need host plants for survival just like butterflies. In the Midwest state I live in, there are about 150 specialist native bees that need specific pollen or they cannot provision for their larvae.
Yes, specialist bees were mentioned in the video. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks so much! Beautiful garden and this is so helpful! Is the goldenrod pictured solidago speciosa or wreath goldenrod? It looked more like fireworks in its zig zag shape or another variety so was wondering. Also, would you be able to share the name of the pine/spruce tree thats behind the blue lobelia, goldenrod, and brown-eyed susan? Thank you!
I love the Ironweed! I put it on my list for planting next.
Thanks for commenting, keep adding those natives!
Thank you for these videos, they are very helpful 🙂
Thanks for commenting, so glad you enjoy them!
Bergen county sprayed for mosquitoes…twice. Killed the Spicebush caterpillar and all the Monarch caterpillars. I called county to explain. It was heartbreaking.
Oh that is heartbreaking!
Thanks for commenting and sorry you experienced this. I hope the county hears you!
A friend of mine grows river oats in her shady garden. She is also having second thoughts as it has spread everywhere. She now cuts off the lovely seed heads to prevent further spread and wishes she had removed the mother plant.
Thanks for the advice Donna!
River oats and Canada goldenrod are great in large spaces where you want to fight aggressive invasive plants. In a minimally maintained park near our house is such a place. Canada goldenrod fights and wins against mugwort and porcelain berry vine. Last year in a grassier area I planted river oats to begin its magic. I noticed it already had seeds but very short. Maybe in a few years it’ll be going wild which is exactly what we need there!
Wow that senna is impressive! I’ll be interested to know about its deer resistance…they think I plant the gardens for them 🙃
you sharred good , Native. )
Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed it!
This is my first year to plant a flower garden. Although I am gardening in a different state, this video has been so helpful as I am interested in adding some of your plants to my garden next season. Seeing how big they are and their sun/shade needs helps me to know where to put them. And having no ad interruptions (some videos have ads show up every minute and a half - crazy annoying so I stop watching) makes it a very pleasant viewing experience for me. Subscribed. Thank you! - Zee, N. Cali zone10a
Thanks for commenting! My goal is to help gardeners with as much useful information in the shortest time possible.
Do the chealsea chop to prevent flopping
Yes, that is a possibility. I just try to garden with as little input from me as possible.
This is beautiful. Did I miss what zone this garden is in? Ty 🙏🏼
Thank you for warning about the immense harm from mosquito spraying. My town in Massachusetts sprays the school and public playing fields for ticks and mosquitoes -- the town management is ignorant and arrogant and refuses to accept the immense harm and toxicity this pointless procedure causes. The town website says to close your windows and keep your pets indoors during the spraying and for many hours afterwards -- which itself tells you how dangerous the chemicals are. What about all the insects and wildlife that are poisoned? The soil? Sadly, they are both dumb and deluded -- believing it is a protective health measure. The madness doesn't stop with town management -- residents and my neighbors have contractors come EVERY MONTH, from late spring to late fall, doing this spraying all over their yards.
Unfortunately, many municipalities need to be educated about the problems posed.
Lourdes. Thank you for another great video!!!
I planted Brown-eyed Susan and Sneezeweed for the first-time last fall, and I have the same flopping problem. I finally staked them last week as well. I had planned to leave them where they are but to do a Chelsea chop next year in early July. Do you think that will work? Pete in Delaware.
The Chelsea chop should work, but probably earlier, I'm estimating by mid-June instead of July.
@@NativePlantChannel OK! Thanks so much.
