My favorite coneflower is ‘Cantaloupe’ because it flowers prolifically all summer and fall. It also works well in flower arrangements since it blends well with other colors. If you’re concerned about the burden of garden work now, wait till you’re 77.
Yep, that is a concern … lots of more experienced gardeners have told me to take care of my body and plan ahead as things get tougher to care for! Cantaloupe is on my list to find!
As soon as your video ended I went on my morning walk around the house. I am 69 years old and perennials are my go to! I have over 60 perennials in my front yard garden beds and about 12 in my back yard. I did put in a 17x17ft cut flower garden in my backyard. My go to summer bloomers are the 9 hardy hibiscus, 8 of which are in my front yard!
Wow!! Amazing. What are some other of your go to's? I am considering Blue butterfly Bush. I like yellow and purple/blue colors and most important that the flowers hold their blooms a long time. 😊 Keep it up!! 💪 💯 👍🤗
@@beverlycharles6534 I have 2 pugster blue butterfly bushes. They take a little longer to wake up but once they start blooming they bloom all summer long. I had swallowtail and monarch butterflies throughout my garden .
@@beverlycharles6534 just remember with the butterfly bushes when you plant them they like their crowns above the soil line. I water around the plant never on the crown!
I live in central Louisiana and all lanatana are perennial for me; they reseed in my lawn like crazy. A mower keeps them in check, but they can definitely spread here. Those black berries they produce will become new plants. My old hedge, when removed, had tons of sickly lanatana in it which amazed me.
You are so good at information filled videos! I have started Gallardia from seed several times and it does flower first year for me. It also spreads but not in an overly aggressive way.
Greeting's from Ireland, great video, We don't get many dry spells over here but sometimes we do. Plants that I have and would recommend and are drought tolerant are sage caradonna, osteospermum, alpine flowers, crocosmia, salvia's, gaura, echinacea, coreopsis, delosperma, daylilies, agapanthus, alstroemeria, sempervivum, acanthus bears breech's. We are lucky because you can save a lot of rain water over the winter I have forty three barrels out in the back yard that fill up during the winter. I use water can's to water the flowers in the front garden and just give them enough to keep them going.
Great video! Always very thorough information. Thanks! Edited to add: I bought one dying coreopsis plant 3 years ago. I didn't think it would make it thru its first winter. Not only did it make it, it multiplied. This is its 3rd spring in my yard, and it is everywhere in my yard. Boy does it multiply.😅
Sea Holly is blooming in my garden now. Very nice to see it in bloom and full of insects to watch get nectar and pollen. I've planted lantana for years, almost all never grew back. So I have my standard yellow perennial I use as it comes back every year.
Thanks for the information about flowers that I love. A little information for you. 1)Blanket flowers grow on the dunes at the beach and are salt tolerant. Good for my zone 8b southeastern NC coastal garden. 2)American Dream coreopsis is not very drought tolerant. It is a threadleaf coreopsis with fernlike foliage and tiny pink blooms. The color of the blooms is gorgeous, but planted in the landscape, it looked more like a weed to me. The appearance of the plant is a gardener's personal preference. I love the yellow and gold varieties of coreopsis, but I want to try some of the berry colors this year.
Love all the varieties you went over today! A plant I have started using more of the last couple years that compliments a lot of these plants and handles hot weather is blue evolvulus. Proven Winners has one called Blue My Mind. Low growing, no deadheading and the hotter it is the better it blooms for me.
One summer heat lover that I absolutely adore is the corkscrew vine. It gets huge so have some space for it. The aroma is intoxicating - reminds me of a jasmine or a very mild hyacinth. It is pollinated by ants so don’t freak out when you see ants on it. The blooms are magical. We let the vine grow across our outdoor string lights so the blooms drop similar to wisteria.
I live in North Texas as well and am loving the native blanket flowers! They carpet full pastures and along the roadways out by me. The vacant lot next door is just FULL of them. Great list planning to plant several myself this year.
I'm in zone 5b Canada and my purple Magnus and White Swan coneflowers will reseed for me. I grow mostly perennials and bulbs with annuals in containers. I grow perennials because it takes annuals until later in the summer before they're at their best. Bonny
Love all of these and I have quite a few of them. Thanks for all the info. I saw alot of tickseed at Lowe's recently (on clearance) and it's one I want to add to my rock garden. I have a purple and yellow theme going there. Cann't wait for part 2!
Thank you for the heat tolerant flowers, I’m in the central valley CA and this will come in handy. Our summers can get up to 116 and my garden struggles every year.
I find in zone 9b in florida,my zinnias the giant one I love do very well even in heat and sun..also vincasespecially if I mulch them,so watering twice a week keeps them alive..
Hello! I planted some orange, cantaloupe-colored coneflower from Monrovia a couple of years ago, and left the seed heads all winter thinking maybe the birds would eat them. I don’t know how much the birds ate them, but to my delight in the spring, I had many more cone flowers and they bloomed their first year. Also, I have grown heated up gaillardia and left mine in the ground over the winter and covered it when it got really cold, and it is coming back now! It’s always so fun to see plants that you didn’t expect to show up in the spring. garden math! (I’m just a tad south of you in Mesquite).
I've focused more on summer flowers this year. I am wanting to put more pots around for fillers and was trying to think what to plant in them. I didn't even think about lantana, so thank you for that :)
I appreciate your experience with these plants! My garden strives to thrive at 7500ft, zone 5b, clay soil. I grow things with careful planning. The sun is so very hot here, the air is thin and lacks humidity that plants like. Great info!! Hope your garden tour went exceptionally well and that you had a very lovely Mother's Day!
Thank you so much I’ve been searching for flowers that will work over our hot summers here in Texas. I’m excited to look for these varieties. I have zinnias and sunflowers growing now and these will be done by the end of June so looking for other options. Thanks again. I hope your garden walk went well this past weekend.
On FL zone 8b/9: cut them back each year n they come back. Easy to root. If they touch soil they will root. Colors I have: yellow, lavender, white, pink mix, and orange mix.
Salvia and lantana were my favourite last year and they returned this year - bonus- I’m N TX also. Loving the information in this video looking forward to part 2!
@@shesamadgardener I’ll be planting more too! I’ve had fantastic results this year - free plants- taking cuttings from both and growing them on. If this winter is cold I plan to cover and protect. 🤞two years I over wintered my lantana in my garage 👍
I love coneflowers too❤ I have several in my perennial beds. One plant/patch that is massive and over 20 years! Ive never had them reseed. I have a bunch of new seedlings to plant out.. Paradiso mix and white swan. Ive got several dozen seedlings of each!
Hi Amanda! Great video as always! I’m in Plano, TX and Pow Wow Echinacea reseeds prolifically for me. I do notice the area I have it in, the mulch gets washed away after heavy rain. It makes it easier for seeds to germinate.
Good list. Can't go wrong with the lantana and coneflowers. I have both in my gardens. I found some Pow Wow coneflowers in white last week and bought up the last four at the nursery. They said they can't keep them in stock. I'm hoping I have as good luck as you do with them. Salvia is one of my summer favorites that does well in heat and sun here in Cypress, TX and comes back every year. Also, vinca (reseeds itself in my garden) and angelina do well.
Hi Amanda yes the allergies have been horrible for me too; Lantana are my go-to here they go spring through winter ⁹9b Ca",Jan I give them a hard cut to 3 inches.So they can rest.Candy tuft, salvia,roses,hotlips,mamouth sunflowers,, bachelor buttons zinnia's, All but the last 3 are perennials bachelor buttons do reseed and I will dog them up in spring and move them around yards.As always a wonderful informative video, Thank you for all you do! Have a great gardening day.🕊️💚
@@shesamadgardener I let them do their thing over the winter and late winter early spring March their a couple to12 inches so it gives me a chance to thi and dig without damaging them.When I plant I do it deep and let them be.Your welcome , good cut flowers 😊
Thank you, Amanda. Great helpful information. We went to a plant nursery and they had the most beautiful huge verbena along with other tx native plants. We were just an awe with how tall and full the verbena gets. We asked for this plant but they were sold out. So its in my daughters and I list to get later.
I'm in Michigan coneflower does reseed here. Especially native coneflower. I found if my mulch is sparce and I have more bare ground I get more seedlings. It won't in heavy mulch. Thanks for sharing your garden it's lovely!
Good Morning to you ~ perennials YES❤ summer 2024❤ just planted the lantanas yesterday. Nice to have met you on the tour. Thanks for suggesting the verbena b. - will add that to the back of my Salvias Garden (south side garden)😊
It was so good to meet you on Saturday! I walked in afterwards and told my husband I met the sweetest lady named Donna! I’m going to get the salvia you gave me planted this week!
I found that if you start gaillardia seeds early enough, they will bloom first season. I have solid yellow and traditional firewheel varieties both from seed and both return from plant and reseed each year. I can share yellow seeds!
Amanda, this is a perfect topic for a girl from Middle Georgia. I feel like there is way less information for hot season zones. What plants survive the heat? and how do we survive the heat? Is there a better answer than to go inside and close the curtains! Your flower choices are all good. I would add Salvia Farinacia which comes back for me in zone 8!
Hello, your garden is looking beautiful. I watch you every morning while having my coffee. This video is perfect for my Florida garden. Where did you find the glasses with flowers on the frame?
Love this list! And I especially love (as always) that you are in Texas since this is a different level of summer than most places. 😂 I was going to say that vinca is a powerhouse for me here in San Antonio. It blooms like crazy even when not watered every day in the west facing intense triple digits. I wonder what is getting yours? That’s a bummer. I also hate being out there in the horrible heat, so it was strangely encouraging to hear you say that. It’s just about maintenance at that point. I feel like summer is as enjoyable as January and February are in the far north. We’re just getting though it mostly. 😅
The flowers begin to age and turn brown towards the end of the summer … you can collect them then. I just let mine fall to the ground. If you are going to start them from seed, I suggest starting them in January.
Look forward to your daily videos I didn’t know there were other colors of coreopsis. I have three that are yellow lol. Can’t wait to get the ruby one. Where do you find it?
I planted 10 lollipops in my garden at the beginning of the year. They are all blooming now. I wish you would have said when to harvest them for cut flowers, because mine are dropping flowers in the vase.
very informative info. So when do you suggest starting seeds for Pow Wow? I see others growing them successfully here in zone 9b Houston but mine always seem to get some sort of leaf problem.
I love Meteor Shower, but mine didn't reseed and I harvested seeds and they didn't germinate :(. I was seriously disappointed! It was on the northern side of my gardens and I wonder if that's why? I've been watching for it at local nurseries, but no one seems to have any. I hate to order online since the shipping is so expensive!
@@shesamadgardener Funny you say that! I actually bought the seed, but I feel like I'm a little behind with them this year, so I didn't start them! Do you think it's too late?
Lantana was one of the "gifts" the British gave India back in the day. It is extremely invasive in India. To date, India is battling a very serious Lantana problem and has been spending a lottttt of money to get rid of it. 😪🙄

It’s such a great place!
After seeing that gorgeous planter full of brightly colored Lantana I definitely need to grow me a pot of it here in Southwest Oklahoma zone 7b/8.
You should!
Guara do amazing in my area. They start blooming in spring and bloom all through summer. I'm in zone 9a Louisiana.
Gaura is such a unique and whimsical plant!
Lantana grows wild in our hili g trails … that’s probably why it’s invasive. Here in Hawaii
I’ve seen it in Hawaii and it is beautiful!
I also need to know how to divide perennials. I need to divide my bee balm in this fall. Definitely waiting to see your video on that 😊.
Will do!
Just the plants we need for the Texas heat! Looking forward to part 2. ❤😊

Love this list! And I especially love (as always) that you are in Texas since this is a different level of summer than most places. 😂
I was going to say that vinca is a powerhouse for me here in San Antonio. It blooms like crazy even when not watered every day in the west facing intense triple digits. I wonder what is getting yours? That’s a bummer.
I also hate being out there in the horrible heat, so it was strangely encouraging to hear you say that. It’s just about maintenance at that point. I feel like summer is as enjoyable as January and February are in the far north. We’re just getting though it mostly. 😅
Summers are all about survival in Texas!
Thanks for the information and suggestions 😊 I have a question: how do you collect the seeds from the verbena meteor shower and when?
The flowers begin to age and turn brown towards the end of the summer … you can collect them then. I just let mine fall to the ground. If you are going to start them from seed, I suggest starting them in January.
I want to find a new 2024 lantana called passion flower. Its suppose to be good for containers.
Ooo, I want to see that too!
@@shesamadgardener i meant passion fruit lantana! By ballflora. You can google it
Look forward to your daily videos
I didn’t know there were other colors of coreopsis. I have three that are yellow lol. Can’t wait to get the ruby one. Where do you find it?
I got mine from a local nursery but I’ve also seen it online at Bluestone Perennials
I planted 10 lollipops in my garden at the beginning of the year. They are all blooming now. I wish you would have said when to harvest them for cut flowers, because mine are dropping flowers in the vase.
They do drop flowers as they are constantly producing bloom after bloom!
Hello Amanda. What about red hoy pokers
I’ve seen them but never grown them! They are a perennial correct?
@@shesamadgardener Yes they are. Mine flower late summer and I divide every three years

Sea Holly, great for cut & dry flowers but, is tough to probate or start seed. Do you have anything on that?
I’ve struggled to start it from seed but had good success with starting to from bare root … I currently have three in my garden!
very informative info. So when do you suggest starting seeds for Pow Wow? I see others growing them successfully here in zone 9b Houston but mine always seem to get some sort of leaf problem.
I’m going to start mine now and get them planted in the fall so they can overwinter and come back strong in the spring.
I love Meteor Shower, but mine didn't reseed and I harvested seeds and they didn't germinate :(. I was seriously disappointed! It was on the northern side of my gardens and I wonder if that's why? I've been watching for it at local nurseries, but no one seems to have any. I hate to order online since the shipping is so expensive!
Shipping can be pricey! How about ordering some seeds online?
@@shesamadgardener Funny you say that! I actually bought the seed, but I feel like I'm a little behind with them this year, so I didn't start them! Do you think it's too late?
When can I divide my coreopsis tickseed? Thanks
It’s best to divide in the fall!
Thank you. I enjoy your videos so much!
Lantana was one of the "gifts" the British gave India back in the day. It is extremely invasive in India. To date, India is battling a very serious Lantana problem and has been spending a lottttt of money to get rid of it. 😪🙄
Wow! I had no idea!!! That’s awful!
what about ice plant? they will be an annual but they are so bright and cheery.
Oh, love ice plant!
