Laura has such a natural conversational style of talking to the camera. She’s so easy to listen to! And she’s so well versed on all the gardening information she’s talking about. What an awesome combination!!! You go girl!!!
As a one time CA resident I adore Bougainvillea. When we moved to Oregon (zone 9) I thought, that's it, no more Boug; too rainy cloudy. But I have managed to keep my (2+ year) gorgeous plant alive by wintering it over inside next to a west facing window. Now I've taken the huge step of transplanting it to in ground on the west side where it sees A LOT of direct sun. BTW, in case you think it's never hot in OR, think again. We are mid Apr 2020 right now and soon we'll be seeing 100+ degree days continuously.
I’ve had a retail garden center for 25 years and you just picked our top 5 planet that are returned because in the transplanting process people tend to tear apart the roots and not water enough the first week or two
I am a new homeowner with only a couple seasons of gardening under my belt here in Boise, Idaho. I'm trying to do a LOT on a small budget. These videos get my imagination running! Was pleased to see I have at least one of almost every perennial on this list :)
I was in the wanting to purchase a particular blue flower and was told that as soon as they go on the display trays they are gone, so was encouraged to purchase a balloon flower, planted it then as one does forgot about it till this year, when whilst weeding saw a plant emerging with a purple stem thinking this can not be a weed “What is it” so let I grow glad I did as it developed into loads of blue Balloon Flowers and what a show (Some weeds do have purple stems, I’ve since found out )
We here in France, in the countryside of Paris, have just lived through 2 severe heat waves within weeks of each other. During this last one, we had the hottest day in recorded history here. It was sweltering! And our gardens sure suffered! Th you for these tips for next year.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few months now and was just thinking I needed to ask you about these sun loving perennials. I live in zone 5b in the hills of Western Massachusetts and we are at the top of a wooded mountain. Our front yard gets sooo hot and burns everything to a crisp except for lilies. I’m so excited to see this because I haven’t tried these 5 perennials yet...now I know and can’t wait to try them out hopefully this year if available but definitely next year! Thank you!
Flowers are my joy! I’ve always been into annuals but the last several years in getting into perennials big time.. I think getting older has a little something to do with it.. 😂. I just don’t have the same umphh so I’m planting more perennials but still filling in with beautiful annuals !!
Denim and lace sage 💜! One of our favorite saw it last year when Laura planted it and we just fell in love and designed our front bed based on it. It has not stopped blooming since spring! It’s in front of David Austin’s roses and underneath Bourdeux and Alyssum while with the bad weather of heat and so much water others had taken a toll not this sage it’s thriving and makes everything look so beautiful. Every single one of these plants are a must.💚💚💚💚💚💚
Wow, loved your garden plants. Wow, don’t wish to be rude ok, but boy oh boy , can certainly talk very fast , how do you breath hun . ..? I love the rudbeckia and marguerite daisy plants . I have several types of perennial plants in my two metre wide borders. I also grow geraniums, panties, lavender, roses, lilies, dahlias, etc. Thanks for all your great tips and advice on which plants are heat tolerant. I live in the uk, so we get lots of rain, and our summers are no way are hot as yours. .. I really could not take the heat of 100 degrees as I’m disabled ex army veteran and have severe asthmatic. We all have our trouble, right hun. Your gardens look beautiful so keep up the good work . God bless from dennis
Every time I've planted Echinacea's they are pretty for a short period of time. I'm in zone 8a. I put them in full sun, after a couple of days they will look like they have been torched and they never come back from that. These are supposed to be a perennial in my zone. I may be doing something wrong.
Please talk about southern areas with abundant rain. I kill lavender every year. My last attempt was a sunny spot on a covered porch in cactus soul. I think maybe the humidity did it. Hostas, iris, althea, daylilies, monarda and echinacea do well. Russian sage struggles.
Thank you so much for this quality video. You are very knowledgeable and convey info quickly and efficiently. I live in Arizona which made this video on heat tolerant plants especially valuable. Could you please list the plants at the bottom of the video? I had to keep backing up and replaying and I still feel as though I missed important info. Really appreciate what you're doing. Your lawn and garden are spectacular. Can you tell I'm new at this?
@J. C. thats your damn problem, most wonderful people love birds, you sound old and disgruntled. Birds bring such joy to people, maybe you shoukd put some bird feeders up and experience some joy and get rid of your hateful attitude!
@J. C. you sound like a greedy gut too, share.....did you ever hear of that? Are you taking all the seeds with you when you die? I love birds and hate greedy, old disgruntled people!!!
Thank You, I am new to zone 5. Very hot and arid. After 2 years of fails. I found sedum, Russian sage etc. To be my go to plants. I wish I would have found you 2 years ago. I have now!
I didn’t know lavender doesn’t like a ton of water!!! I planted one in my last house and it got a lot of water and it grew a LOT & is doing well. I want to plant at my new home but I don’t want to be watering a lot! So I guess it’s a go!!
I F - Lavender does not like Standing Water, it needs to drain away from the roots and not stay there on them.. Your previous lavender probably had an ideal soil that drained quickly and that's why it did so good..
Musr be hard to garden is USA. Well in England it too hot or wet and cold. I have chosen these plants for my own garden but the only difference is being a clay soil you have dig in gavel for drainage then they grow well. We'll done young lady👍
Thank you so much for this video. I have a flower bed that receives afternoon sun and living in Florida the heat gets unbearable. I have laid a drip line (from another one of your videos) and it helps but my plants take a beating from the heat. I will be adding the plants above next year.
Thank for all the information. I have a big yard and I’m always wondering what flowers to plant . I love your videos they give me a lot information to better my garden
I think I live in zone 9 but not sure. I love lavender and I will have to amend my crappy soil. I don't know what kind I have. I live in a trailer about 85 miles west of Phoenix AZ.
Could you do something like this but for patio gardens that may not get hours of direct sun? I've been having problems with my patio because I want color but the things I like all seem to need full sun.
Leonotis leonurus does well in the heat, not so much is cold and blends in well with nearly every plant mentioned, especially salvias. Grossa lavender is pretty hardy against frost compared too most of the lavenders though grown commercial on farms with high oil content 24-36" is great for driveways. Rose scented geranium near entrance or in a pot elevated and positioned to brush buy it =D. salvia greggii stand out from lavender
We had no rain for 6 weeks and my echinacea did let their heads hang a bit. Finally it rained! and they raised their heads back up. So, it was the lack of water that caused it.
We're in the northern Great Plains in zone 4. Please include planting zones with your recommendations as not everyone is in your zone 5. Heat and drought tolerance are two issues, but we also have to have solid wind tolerance.
We do not assume everyone is a zone 5, in this video Laura talks about different types of perennials that are heat tolerant, but the zones for each type might vary depending on the exact genetic you purchase. Thank you for your suggestion regarding wind too, another thing to keep in mind. Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts.
Laura you should do a video of just pictures of your garden and have Aaron edit with music. Love all of your videos they are so informative, inspiring and a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much for these videos, my backyard is 80 acres of federal park land on the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta and the deer run through my yard all day and night. I love beautiful landscaping and finding plants that are deer resistant is very hard. I use extensive deer/bird/rabbit netting for my border annuals but it is pain.
Hello there, Laura does not have experience with zones 9 and 10, so she is not comfortable making a video about plants she has not grown in that touch climate. She speaks from experience in her videos, sorry she is not able to help on this.
I will volunteer! I’m in zone 9. I’m an educator in the Florida public schools, and currently make children’s videos about art. I’m an avid gardener and I am currently in the process of redesigning my backyard after a pool build.
Yes. I love her videos, but I always get tickled when she talks about heat-hardy plants that wouldn’t make it past zone 7 on a warm day much less zone 9 on a scorcher. :)
Hi Laura, would love to plant Lavender but up here in Canada, even uf i'm in zone 6a, winters are harsh on plant roots, do you think lavanders roots would survive it ? I think i should cover them or protect them but not sure hownfrom the -25c we usually have in february ?
You are best to ask that question at your local garden center--they are much more familiar with your climate, and it also depends on the exact type of lavender you plant. Thanks for watching.
Just asked one of our perennial experts, and he said over Denim 'n Lace still spreads but is much more restrained than the species. It is also a bit shorter and much more upright. Here's a link, hope this helps. www.provenwinners.com/plants/perovskia/denim-n-lace-russian-sage-perovskia-atriplicifolia
Hi Laura! I absolutely LOVE your channel! My question is...should I plant 1 perennial knowing that it will spread, or is it usually best to plant maybe 3?
I love your videos! But, I have viewed a few beautiful plants and fall in love with them for a spot in my yard and ~~~ of course, not for zone 9! Have you ever thought of make special zone videos for all of us Different Zone Gardeners??? 🧡
We do not have a video, but here is a page where you can find your zone and plant recommendations for each. beauty.provenwinners.com/plants-by-climate/
Thanks so much for the information! I have a ton of flower beds and we killed everything that the previous people planted when we first moved in to start new and create our garden the way we wanted it to be. So I have slowly been restoring our flower beds with mostly annuals but I was looking for some perennials to put in so I dont have to start from scratch every year. And this video was very informal so I think I may consider some of these plants for my flowerbeds.
Sorry...I don't see any of these in my local nursery in AZ. Maybe in the winter it will be worth a try? I tried peppermint in full shade and it burned up quickly.
Suzette, we know gardening in your area is much different than gardening in other parts of the US, you are best to visit your local garden center and see what they recommend for your incredibly hot and dry conditions.
I want to let you know how much I appreciate your information on gardening I get inspired when I watch your videos, and see you pictures. Have a wonderful Birthday.
Laura, I love your enthusiasm and suggestions! My garden is on The Master Gardener Tour here in Wilmington, NC in a few weeks... I will think about your suggestions- we've got an acre... I might need more space!
Oh yay! My daughter just started her freshman year there a week ago! I seriously NEVER read the comments, but for some reason, I read this. I’m convinced it was The Holy Spirit! I’ve been an emotional wreck since she left, and she hasn’t been doing much better. She loves Wilmington and the school, but she doesn’t know anyone except for her roommate, who she’s now known for 6 days. She was looking so forward to meeting people, but because of COVID 19, her classes are online. PLEASE tell me that it’s not too late for us to come see your beautiful garden tour together!🙏😘
For what its worth, I planted my Rudbeckia Goldstrum's in the middle of summer, in full sun, temps were in the high 90's*F and sometimes into the 100's. And there is almost always a continuous hot, dry breeze. Because they were root bound in their pots, I had to break a lot of roots. For the first week or so I had to water them every day or else they would wilt. Slowly extended watering intervals, every other day, every few days etc, based on if I saw them wilting. I now water them about once a week or 10 days. They definitely like the sun. They have been blooming for many weeks now. I don't know if they will self-seed or how well they will hold up to our long, freezing winter. Unfortunately there are no pollinators in my city. Sad, no honey bees and no butterflies. In their wisdom, my city late at night sprays all the yards with a big tank truck with a liquid chemical that kills mosquitoes. But it also kills bees (they take it back to their hive and their entire hive dies), butterflies and many other insects. Every spring Main Street is lined with beautiful flowering trees, but not one honey bee. So sad . . .
Yes, very sad to hear about the lack of pollinators in your area, they bring such joy to gardens, but happy to know your perennials are doing well and will return next spring to brighten your garden again. Thanks for watching.
Here is a link to perennials that would grow well in containers. Keep in mind that depending on where you live you might need to move them out of the container into your landscape in fall. If you want the plant to live in a container year round select a perennial that is at least two zones hardier than your area. For example, if you live in zone 5, choose a perennial that is hardy to zone 3 or lower. www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced?duration=Perennial&height-category=Short&uses%5B0%5D=Container&search%5Bpage%5D=&page=48
Hi Laura and Proven Winners! I live in Zone 7a and would like to know what perennials would do good with only morning sun. Echinacea, Salvia, Clematis and Day Lilies grow well there, but would like to add more variety. Thank you for a great video!
Wonderful suggestions and I can attest to how well all of these plants grow in SW Utah. Mid to late Summer can be very hot and dry, and these all hold up beautifully and thrive. Thanks for such a great video and advice on varieties.
There are many plants that do not attract pollinators, best to ask this at your local garden center. In our plant line our ColorBlaze Coleus, Lemon Coral Sedum, our perennial line of daylilies. A experienced staff member at your local garden center can guide you on this.
Just want to say hi! I enjoy watching your videos, I think you have great energy. I'm new to gardening, I live in Vancouver BC, and I have a solarium, so I'm playing around with which plants & flowers like (and don't like) being in there. It can get like a hot house in there so in particular, the tomatoes are very happy. I definitely want to try a couple plants in this video.
Laura does not mix her own soil, she is in a 5B zone but in high desert, which requires incredible heat tolerance. On our website we have an advanced plant search page and here you can look for plants in my categories, including drainage needs. www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced
A very large majority of our audience speaks English, so we cannot air the videos with the subtitles in another language, but we did find these instructions that might help with all your video viewing, www.google.com/search?q=dubbing+youtube+videos+to+spanish&oq=dubbing+youtube+videos+to+spanish&aqs=chrome..69i57.9231j1j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Loved this video so much I saved it! All the plants you feature are drought tolerant and attract pollinators which exactly what I am looking for in my Florida yard. I want to plant the sage and sedum in pots instead of planting in the ground. You mentioned using well draining soil, should I use a “succulent” potting mix or plain good potting mix? Thank you in advance!

Hyssop is a great, Summer perennial. Profuse blooms, withstands drought, and cut it back for another bloom.

Your videos are refreshing, to the point, interesting and educational, thank you🙏🏼
Echinacea will also feed wintering birds so don't be so quick to cut them down in the fall.
Cut a few for seeds and leave a few for birds. It's a win/win.

Great information on each plant
This was so educational and enjoyable. Ty!

Nice presentation!! To the point with detailed info. AWESOME!
that Russian sage is soo beautiful. 💚💜
Great information. Thanks for video. Gorgeous plants!
So Beautiful loving it
Add this to my list with my hydrangeas!
Could you do something like this but for patio gardens that may not get hours of direct sun? I've been having problems with my patio because I want color but the things I like all seem to need full sun.
Great! I'll try these in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hope they can take 110°-117° temps in July and August...

The sweet romance... does that completely go away in the winter or does it lend some kind of winter interest until spring?
It does not die back to the ground, but there really is not much winter interest to it either, it is definitely not evergreen. Hope this helps!
Laura you should do a video of just pictures of your garden and have Aaron edit with music. Love all of your videos they are so informative, inspiring and a pleasure to watch.
Love to Garden you can watch her videos on Garden Answer utube channel. They are wonderful
I planted lavender this year. I have everything else in my gardens. In summer you have to have heat tolerant plants in the south.

I have all of them but I find the rudbeckia will wilt when it gets too hot and dry in my here garden in Toronto, Canada.
Yes my Russain sage and Salvias are in full sun and its been raining like crazy so its well watered
Pleasw hwlp me as my Russain sage and salvia arent flowering
This is a great video with names and attributes of plants. It helps! Thanks.

Very helpful. As a landscape designer I have found Russian Sage to be invasive. Is there a variety that doesn't spread so aggressively?
Just asked one of our perennial experts, and he said over Denim 'n Lace still spreads but is much more restrained than the species. It is also a bit shorter and much more upright. Here's a link, hope this helps. www.provenwinners.com/plants/perovskia/denim-n-lace-russian-sage-perovskia-atriplicifolia
Russian Sage looks fantastic even in the wintertime with its airy, silvery stalks softening the starkness.
Hi Laura! I absolutely LOVE your channel! My question is...should I plant 1 perennial knowing that it will spread, or is it usually best to plant maybe 3?

Sorry...I don't see any of these in my local nursery in AZ. Maybe in the winter it will be worth a try? I tried peppermint in full shade and it burned up quickly.
Suzette, we know gardening in your area is much different than gardening in other parts of the US, you are best to visit your local garden center and see what they recommend for your incredibly hot and dry conditions.
I want to let you know how much I appreciate your information on gardening I get inspired when I watch your videos, and see you pictures. Have a wonderful Birthday.
Thank you I really needed some direction.
Laura, I love your enthusiasm and suggestions! My garden is on The Master Gardener Tour here in Wilmington, NC in a few weeks... I will think about your suggestions- we've got an acre... I might need more space!
Oh yay! My daughter just started her freshman year there a week ago! I seriously NEVER read the comments, but for some reason, I read this. I’m convinced it was The Holy Spirit! I’ve been an emotional wreck since she left, and she hasn’t been doing much better. She loves Wilmington and the school, but she doesn’t know anyone except for her roommate, who she’s now known for 6 days. She was looking so forward to meeting people, but because of COVID 19, her classes are online. PLEASE tell me that it’s not too late for us to come see your beautiful garden tour together!🙏😘
Very nice. So many new ideas for my garden. The information is great.
Such knowledge on so many garden topics. Thank you.
For what its worth, I planted my Rudbeckia Goldstrum's in the middle of summer, in full sun, temps were in the high 90's*F and sometimes into the 100's. And there is almost always a continuous hot, dry breeze. Because they were root bound in their pots, I had to break a lot of roots. For the first week or so I had to water them every day or else they would wilt. Slowly extended watering intervals, every other day, every few days etc, based on if I saw them wilting. I now water them about once a week or 10 days. They definitely like the sun. They have been blooming for many weeks now. I don't know if they will self-seed or how well they will hold up to our long, freezing winter.
Unfortunately there are no pollinators in my city. Sad, no honey bees and no butterflies. In their wisdom, my city late at night sprays all the yards with a big tank truck with a liquid chemical that kills mosquitoes. But it also kills bees (they take it back to their hive and their entire hive dies), butterflies and many other insects. Every spring Main Street is lined with beautiful flowering trees, but not one honey bee. So sad . . .
Yes, very sad to hear about the lack of pollinators in your area, they bring such joy to gardens, but happy to know your perennials are doing well and will return next spring to brighten your garden again. Thanks for watching.
Just what I was looking for!! Thanks for the beautiful suggestions!👏🏼👏🏼😊
Do you have any recommendations on what to plant with these plants, for year round interest? Anything late winter or spring blooming?
Thanks a lot.. truly you doing a great job..
🤗🤗🤗
Thank you! What an encouraging video for a Zone 9 planter like me! Are we limited to planting these in the spring or early summer?
Wonderful advice...thank you sooo 👍👍👍
What is a good perennial for a pot that is 2’ tall and a foot and a half wide? Full sun area
Here is a link to perennials that would grow well in containers. Keep in mind that depending on where you live you might need to move them out of the container into your landscape in fall. If you want the plant to live in a container year round select a perennial that is at least two zones hardier than your area. For example, if you live in zone 5, choose a perennial that is hardy to zone 3 or lower. www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced?duration=Perennial&height-category=Short&uses%5B0%5D=Container&search%5Bpage%5D=&page=48
Thank you for this suggestions.Love the colors.It. will definately enhance a garden.
Yes! these will survive the hot/dry SoCal weather and my black thumbs ;)
Laura I have them all and they are just beautiful in my landscape love a your videos keep them coming!!
thank you for this great video!
Hi Laura and Proven Winners! I live in Zone 7a and would like to know what perennials would do good with only morning sun. Echinacea, Salvia, Clematis and Day Lilies grow well there, but would like to add more variety. Thank you for a great video!
Wonderful suggestions and I can attest to how well all of these plants grow in SW Utah. Mid to late Summer can be very hot and dry, and these all hold up beautifully and thrive. Thanks for such a great video and advice on varieties.
What can you plant that don’t attract pollinators? My daughter’s allergic to bee stings?
There are many plants that do not attract pollinators, best to ask this at your local garden center. In our plant line our ColorBlaze Coleus, Lemon Coral Sedum, our perennial line of daylilies. A experienced staff member at your local garden center can guide you on this.
Thx so much.
Just want to say hi! I enjoy watching your videos, I think you have great energy. I'm new to gardening, I live in Vancouver BC, and I have a solarium, so I'm playing around with which plants & flowers like (and don't like) being in there. It can get like a hot house in there so in particular, the tomatoes are very happy. I definitely want to try a couple plants in this video.
Terrific, thanks for watching!
Russian sage, lavender, sedum, echinacea, and rudbeckia (black eyed Susan)
Great video! What's your zone where you plant all of these? Do they all require well-drained soil? If so, do you offer your recipe for a soil mix?
Laura does not mix her own soil, she is in a 5B zone but in high desert, which requires incredible heat tolerance. On our website we have an advanced plant search page and here you can look for plants in my categories, including drainage needs. www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced
I always enjoy every video. Thanks, Laura!! You've helped me step out and plant different plants. The rabbits aren't helping me but that's ok.
Son hermosos tus videos, me gustaría qué estuvieran doblados al español.Gracias!!!
A very large majority of our audience speaks English, so we cannot air the videos with the subtitles in another language, but we did find these instructions that might help with all your video viewing, www.google.com/search?q=dubbing+youtube+videos+to+spanish&oq=dubbing+youtube+videos+to+spanish&aqs=chrome..69i57.9231j1j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Your landscape is beautiful! TFS!
What kind of plant isosteospermum
Loved this video so much I saved it! All the plants you feature are drought tolerant and attract pollinators which exactly what I am looking for in my Florida yard. I want to plant the sage and sedum in pots instead of planting in the ground. You mentioned using well draining soil, should I use a “succulent” potting mix or plain good potting mix? Thank you in advance!
