I discovered your channel recently and have been working my way through all of your videos! I cannot tell you how amazing it is to find a garden channel by someone in the UK who clearly knows what they are talking about, keeps their videos clear, informative, helpful but also simple and to the point. I really, really appreciate you putting this content out there - please keep it coming, and please don't turn into one of those channels who are just full of ads/sponsers and full of waffle because you are brilliant as you are and just what we need! I only wish I'd found you earlier. Thanks again, I've subscribed so hopefully won't miss any future videos!
Oh and I would LOVE to see more videos comparing different varieties of a type of plant. It's so hard to decide when you're looking online and trying to decide which one to get. I actually found you trying to compare different types of geum, and that video really helped me decide which type I needed. Thanks again!

Wonderful videos-so informative. Your range of knowledge is extraordinary. I feel as though each plant you bring forward is saying,"This person really understands me!"
I love your presentations. You include so much information. I haven't missed a single video since I first joined this passed winter. As I live in the PNW, USA much of what you speak of works in my area. Thank you!
I’ve never seen such a tiny centaurea, it’s gorgeous 😍 Love the Tiarella too and I have a woodland border with a gap in it which would be perfect for it. I think I may be visiting your website very soon 😊
Thank you for this video Rosy, I have been on the look out for some lovely frothy front of dry stony border plants. So now I’ve got some fantastic little plants for the spot .
Thanks for this video, I always get stuck for ideas and something a little different at the front of the boarder. I’m going to visit your website now. 😃
All centaureas are great. The classic centaurea montana is so easy to grow from seed, then you can divide it and it reseeds itself too without becoming invasive. It handles drought, coz it goes dormant in the summer (a bit like papaver orientale), then grow back in autumn. Other centaureas will keep their foliage in summer. One really nice perennial for the border that no one is growing is Lysimachia Ephemerum. It's a protected lysimachia from the Pyrenees and other parts of Spain, and although it's from wet areas, it will do fine in normal clay soil, it'll just be small, which is ideal for the front of a border. The flowers are upright, unlike others lysimachias where they bend, and it's also not too hard to grow it from seed. Otherwise yeah, I love aquilegia, potentilla (nepalensis), veronica (especially veronica teucrium), or eryngium (eryngium planum is super easy to grow from seeds). Iberis sempervirens (not "vivens", it's an r) I don't like. It just doesn't do well in my garden... It loses leaves, stems, year after year, and looks awful instead of more bushy. I just don't know why, I have alkaline clay soil. Maybe it doesn't like wet soils in winter. Iberis is totally absent from the reference book "Dream plants for the natural garden" by Piet Oudolf, and maybe that's why ? Coz he tried it and it doesn't do well?
Zones are detailed in the description, from our research it looks like all are viable in Zone 6. We do advise double checking with local growers if possible though
@@RosyHardyGardening It was perfectly sufficient for me to hear everything. It was just a heads up in case the mic was on the way out or something. I'm hoping its not my hearing on the way out!
The information given by Rosy is detailed, informative and interesting. Latin and common names are given more than once and are also in the description below. Perfect, with thanks, Rosy.
Yes I agree about the plant name on the screen. Also for beginners like me- it would be helpful to say if the plant has a ‘nickname’ or common name. It would be easier to remember. Great video. Thank you.
We hope you enjoy the video
Full plant list in order with zone information is in the description :)

I love how these plant names just roll off your tongue 😅. It’s such a wonderful skill 🤩🎊🥰
Had lots of practice :)
Love them all especially the shade ones. So appreciate the Latin names

I love that centaurea also! Wonder if you can find that here in the States.
Good morning here in Zone 5a ! Great very useful info.again.Kudos to you,Rosie,for wonderful & understandable plant science. Happy Spring 🌷
Thank you :)
So lovely and refreshing to listen to Latin names and botanical descriptive terms. To this excellent list I’d add genus Lewisia.
Rosy, I have just discovered your channel. You are a joy to listen to, with wonderful knowledge . Thank you.
Just discovered your channel and have subscribed - very straightforward and informative. Thank you
Thank you for this video Rosy, I have been on the look out for some lovely frothy front of dry stony border plants. So now I’ve got some fantastic little plants for the spot .
Another excellent video. Thank you Rosy. Your videos are always full of content and useful information to help with plant choice. Keep them coming 😀
Beautiful plants. Thank you! ❤
Lovely video. A shade is a color plus black. A tint is a color plus white. ❤
Thanks for this video, I always get stuck for ideas and something a little different at the front of the boarder. I’m going to visit your website now. 😃
Interesting plants. I knew only two, so informative although they may not work for me,
I just adore your channel
Wonderful, one of your best. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Brilliant, thank you
thank you Rosie 🙂

There are many Iberis and thanks for the spelling correction 😊
Yes some of these plants live you or don’t
Thank you - so useful.
I love your videos, thankyou, im learning so much 😊
❤❤excellent..??which would work in USA zone 6??
Zones are detailed in the description, from our research it looks like all are viable in Zone 6. We do advise double checking with local growers if possible though
Are these suitable for the US ?
I wonder is there a dwarf white centaurea?
The sound was less good quality on this one. Thanks for the content though.
Oh what is the issue you are hearing? We haven't changed our mic set up for this one
@@RosyHardyGardening it just sounded muffled or flatter compared to the usual clarity, maybe the positioning of the mic receiver?
@@sc3pt1c4L thank you for letting us know. We'll play around with positioning and see if we can get it clearer
@@RosyHardyGardening It was perfectly sufficient for me to hear everything. It was just a heads up in case the mic was on the way out or something. I'm hoping its not my hearing on the way out!
The sound was fine for me: thank you Rosy.
Too much talking. Name of plant needs to be left on screen longer.
The information given by Rosy is detailed, informative and interesting. Latin and common names are given more than once and are also in the description below. Perfect, with thanks, Rosy.
Rude.
