Fantastic list of flowers I hope I can find them locally. Laura, I read this yesterday and it reminded me of you. "Soil is an antidepressant. The smell of mycobacterium vacii, a micro-organism found in soil, compost and leaf mold, lights up neurotransmitters that release serotonin (a mood-lifting hormone)". I do believe that it is one of the reason why you are so cheerful, helpful and very pleasing to listen in a video. Kuddos.
I find working in the garden brings me a great feeling of peace ✌ wonder if you would share where you found your information that you shared, I do agree 👍
The best thing about these videos is when you say "drought tolerant". I live in zone 10 with a Mediterranean climate so water is a huge problem for us here so hearing this makes me super happy 😅
I live in 7 b in germany , normaly no problem with rain . Last 2 years we had summers with more than 8 weeks no rain at all .....I change most of my perennial flowers 🙈🙊
i'm in zone 10b (southern california) and YES YES to drought tolerant, hot burning searing sun, low water needs, etc... it is hard to find plants that can take our mid day sun without curling up and panting at you when you go outside, lol...
@@sylso Wow, es tut mir leid... That would be hard to have a completely different rain pattern come about after planning a complete garden. At least in California we are used to it, and resign ourselves to putting in irrigation systems.
🌼 I love that you are telling us about deer 🦌 and rabbit 🐇 resistance! We've got tons of both, and they can be a real problem. Usually our plants can outgrow the rabbits, but the deer can wipe out an entire flower bed in one night! 😀
When you say “deer resistant” my heart skips a beat! YES!! Something I can try here in rural Virginia, on a lake! Trying to beautify a very shaded area in the front garden, so Lungwort is definitely on my wish list this season!
Just dropping a heartfelt thank you for your great gardening videos. My late, great Mum loved them, they kept her informed and entertained in her final months. She would watch every week, getting new ideas for her own little garden. 🫂🫂🫂🇮🇪💚
Totally same here about any and all blue flowers! I google "blue flower gardens", and look on Pinterest all the time to get ideas. Blue pimpernel and blue throatwort are this year"s experimental, new to me plants. Echium "Blue Bedder" from seed, direct sow, and started inside, was a huge success last year,, and I see many volunteer re-seeds coming up now!
I love these videos. Gives me so many ideas for new plants to try, especially that lovely echinacea plant! I have the Lungwort in my garden and it is beautiful. Thanks for the suggestions Laura. We all know you can’t be out in that garden filming everyday at this time of year so suggestive videos like this help fill the gap and offer great advice.
I need another garden! I have grown hyssop in the past, an older variety that self seeded everywhere! The joy of it is not only do the pollinators love it but the gold finches adore it's seeds from fall through winter. Thank you for another great video!
So many fantastic ideas, Laura! This year, I want to help my parents with a garden bed at their home that they haven’t ever been happy with but now I have some new ideas!
@@susanmason3432 I am! My mother has had a black thumb but after watching Laura and Aaron for years now, not only do I have a successful garden, but they do too! As they get older (they are both still very agile) I’ve created a list of low maintenance perennials to make it much easier to care for!
I planted lungwort for the first time last year as an experiment in my zone 3 shady flower bed. The poor thing was swamped by a giant hosta, which decided to go slightly crazy, and then experienced -50 C back in December (yes, that is damn cold even for us). This past year was certainly an acid test for the plant. If it survives I’m going to try a few more. Hope springs eternal in zone 3 gardens. 😊🌸🌹🌷
I’ve planted lungwort in our zone 3 (Alberta) in shade and part sun and they come back every spring for me.I just leave them alone .They don’t care if they get attention,they just,bloom along their merry little way when they are ready. Love love love them. Don’t give up.💐
Hi there Ms Laura! I have been watching your garden tours for quite a long time now and I really admire how beautiful your garden is. 😊 I just want to say thank you 🙏 for sharing it and giving us tips on what perineal flowers are good for shade or sunny areas of yard we should plant..I learned a lot from watching you 😊 You are a great gardener and a mom too. 😊 God bless you and your family🙌 much love from the south ❤
Add to that list True Hyssop, which is super hardy in my zone 6. I grew some from seed last year and have loved it so much that I am growing some more. Late, but first year bloomer with purple flowers.
I was so happy to see how many of these were hardy to zone 3. But it’s always the ones I really like that end up being zone 5. You always want what you can’t have as they say. But thanks to you, my world of zone 3 plants has widened!
I also garden in a zone 3, and when I hear and see the plant Laura is describing, I am waiting to hear the zone rate! I am often sad that so many of the beautiful ones are not our zone, but do love that I can see them in Laura's garden!
I'm liking these 'best of x' series you're doing. But I find myself trying to pick out my color pallette from your list. Do you think you could do a 'my favorite (color) plants' series? Example, 'my favorite yellow plants' then next do 'my favorite purple plants'? Then people could go back and watch for the color they need in their garden.
Thank you for another great informative video. I love these types of videos to give us ideas of things to plant that maybe we wouldn't have thought of because we didn't know about them. So helpful when going to the garden center in the spring. I think I'm going to start a notebook and take notes when watching these videos because I can't remember all the details of the plants. Please keep these types of videos coming. Thanks!
I was very impressed with my coneflowers I planted (Pow Wow Wildberry). I planted only 3, but this year I am going to plant MANY more! It is a real treat to see goldfinches feasting on the seeds 🙂
They are all listed in the description below the video. Click on “more” or three dots or whatever depending on how you are viewing. Links are included with the plant varieties.
Over the years I have seen you plant so many Echinaceas. Can you do an overview video of how they all look (also spent blooms) and the differences? That would be so helpful when choosing a variety!
Videos like this help me so much. I love learning the new information, building my plant knowledge, and finding things that will work for my picky flower beds. Thank you Laura! 🎉
I have to say your channel is the reason why gardening is now a hobby for me. I really love echinacea but with so many varieties and limited space on my garden what would be your top 3 choices for a beginner gardener? Thank you!
Hi, you could try Cheyenne spirit. You get a range of a few different colors on the same plant. And you can't go wrong with the traditional Echinacea purpurea. Popular varieties at garden centers are pow wow wildberry and pow wow white. Hope this helps.
Good Morning! 🪻🌷 l'm going to keep these perenials in mind! All of them are beautiful & beneficial! I am always on the hunt for new fresh plants!!👍🪷🌼🌺💚🌿
Thank you for taking the extra time to give details about these perennials. I need to watch again with a notepad and ✏️. God's continued blessings to you and all at GA.
Hi Laura, may I ask what those beautiful coneflowers were that you had pictured along with the coraljade sedum @5:16? I also grow the supreme cantaloupe cone flower, its gorgeous! Thank you!!
taking notes!! anxious to try these drought tolerant plants in some areas where things struggle so much during our hot, dry days here in zone 10b... i like these 'spotlight' videos so much! good info!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
I'm looking to add more ornamental perennials to my backyard food forest garden. I need more color mixed in with all the greenery. I've got some purple Echinacea flowers going already. The roots make a powerful plant medicine. You put together a beautiful selection of plants to consider. Thank you!
Love your videos and I watch them all. I do have one ask if at all possible. Will you please start putting time stamps on the videos that you list things? It would make it so much easier when we go back to videos to find information about a plant or planting. Thank you and I appreciate all you guys do!
Beautiful photos of your garden today! I am always adding more perennials to our gardens as we are fortunate to have sunny and shady areas. There are great sales in October at local garden centers and I always take advantage.
Love the shot of the full screen of the plant and a circle shot of Laura in the corner. Sometimes I hear the description of the plant and don’t remember what the plant looks like. Love the creative videos.
I appreciate this list because they are not all Proven Winners plants. Now, I love Proven Winners. But, I appreciate that Laura is giving us a true list of her top favorites and not just a list of Proven Winners plants.
Hi from Cape Town South Africa. You inspire me to start projects when I wasnt planning to. After watching you do a show about prepping or clean up. I find myself in the garden doing my thing. You have taught me to plan when taking on projects and I have success. Thank you for the great show it truly inspires me.
Thank you for another informative video. Your perennial videos last year helped me plan my new garden so much. Can’t wait to see where I can put a few of these now!
Great video going to try some of the plants this yr u have so many good suggestions of how and where and how to take care of the plants. Love to watch ur videos so much information. God bless u and urs.
If you start getting rabbits, use Irish Spring Soap. They don't like the smell. We used the soap all last year and no rabbits. Got a case from Amazon not much of a cost. Put them under bushes hung them low on fence. It really works.
Agastache/hyssop is my favorite plant in the garden! I love the different colors, the scent and how the hummingbirds & butterflies are always visiting mine! I grew an orange variety from seed and they were in bloom from summer to frost! Do you have any experience with echinops? I grew some from seed last year and they were awesome in color & structure! I don’t hear many people talk about them. I’m in zone 8b and they did great and they can be hardy down to zone 3! Both are easy to grow from seed and sun loving perennials 😍☀️💚
I grew an agastache for the first time last season, I was extremely impressed with the long bloom time and the amount of bees that were on it compared to other plants!
oh, good to hear, as I'm growing Echinops from seed under lights right now. I love blue, and need drought tolerant perennials. I believe Laura grows them for use in cut flower arrangements.
I planted two a few years ago and last year scored 3 at Lowe’s for $1 on clearance at end of season but it just kept going with blooms till we had freeze. The pollinators love it and at least my deer have not touched.
I love echinacea but unfortunately it doesn’t love my yard. I have a lot of humidity and it just didn’t do well. But I do thank you for telling us about supertunias, they love it here. I had 3 flushes on my plants last year.
Good morning, Sweet Laura, hope you are. doing well, also your family. I am busy watcthing my newly plans start their beggdning into life. Twenty Seven more days until the first day of Spring, Yea my favorite time of the year. Have a Bless @ wonderful day. Hug your Family, later Wanda
So many beautiful flowers! 😍I love those orange echinaceas! I grew the pow wow white echinaceas last year and love them, but I have never seen anything this color anywhere locally for me. 😀 -Cara
yes yes YES i am so easily overwhelmed in the spring w the annuals/veg i want to grow but i still want some florals for pollinators & my eyes. perennials i can plug in and leave alone are exactly what i’m looking for! ❤
Love watching what you plants as I live in an area of Hampshire in UK that is on the coast and have a similar soil type and suffer with the same problem with our water !
I see lung wort in the woods when I'm hiking. I've been tempted to transplant some of it to my shade garden but, I haven't. I'll look for it at the garden center. It is a tough plant with pretty foliage.
Pulmonaria definitely need extra water if planted in dry shade. I’ve had them wither away when planted on a dry shady berm. Love these videos-especially now with the ice storm that hit Michigan and no power. Thank goodness for my iPhone. 😊
Good afternoon Laura and family Can't wait to get hold of some of those perennials and hope I can find some locally if not here I go back to Amarillo,Texas ugh. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful rest of the afternoon 👋🙂
Love seeing all your perennial suggestions in this video! I was wondering what variety of Echinacea you have planted next to the Coraljade Stonecrop Sedum? (At 5:48 in the video) Thanks SO much for all you do!
Thankyou so very much for sharing your work Laura! It's always exciting to see what comes back the next year!! You help me visualize my garden and consider orientation. My landscape is coming together thanks to you🖤 Views from a zone 5B!💯
I agree the brunnera should be in this list. I got mine bc of your recommendation on another video. It’s a beautiful shade plant and has very nice delicate flowers but it’s the leaves I like on the Jack Frost. Skullcap look interesting for my sunny spots. 7a ny Thank you😊
Definitely incorporating some of these this year. Do you have a video on best practices for soil replacement? When to replace and when to amend containers and raised beds?✨
All beautiful plants but I especially like the shade plant! My yard is filled with large trees so it was good hear about the Lungwort. I hope I can find it my garden center. Thanks for the tips!
I had never heard of Scutellaria….looked it up and it’s a medicinal herb. If you have the American skullcap, that explains why it does so well in our native soil. Sort of like echinacea and black-eyed Susans.
This was so timely. I am reworking my front flowerbed. Some of the plants died and another is sad, which I am digging up and moving to another location. This gives me some great ideas to spruce it up and hopefully will look lush and have a punch of color.
Laura, I always look forward to this time of year and hearing what plants you recommend. These are all beautiful plants. Was wondering if you could also do a video on perennials that like full sun and can withstand wetter soil. Thank you!
Fantastic list of flowers I hope I can find them locally. Laura, I read this yesterday and it reminded me of you. "Soil is an antidepressant. The smell of mycobacterium vacii, a micro-organism found in soil, compost and leaf mold, lights up neurotransmitters that release serotonin (a mood-lifting hormone)".

I totally agree! It seems like I get an energy boost whenever I touch soil with my bare hands
Interesting and makes total sense!
I find working in the garden brings me a great feeling of peace ✌ wonder if you would share where you found your information that you shared, I do agree 👍
Well, that would explain why I love working in my garden for hours also love having my hands in the soil. It actually energizes me!
This is so meaningful ! I wondered why I loved walking through soil and manure isles when I was pregnant !😂
The best thing about these videos is when you say "drought tolerant". I live in zone 10 with a Mediterranean climate so water is a huge problem for us here so hearing this makes me super happy 😅
I'm in zone 6 and also love drought tolerate perennials. Lowers my water bill!!
I live in 7 b in germany , normaly no problem with rain . Last 2 years we had summers with more than 8 weeks no rain at all .....I change most of my perennial flowers 🙈🙊

@09:40 Supreme Cantaloupe Echinacea
@12:10 Spot On Lungwort
Aren’t you great!! This is the best thing. Love it.
Thank you for the list
😅
Thank you for the list. What zone are you in?
Thanks so much for doing this
When you say “deer resistant” my heart skips a beat! YES!! Something I can try here in rural Virginia, on a lake! Trying to beautify a very shaded area in the front garden, so Lungwort is definitely on my wish list this season!

The Lungwart and the Daffodils combo was beautiful...very elegant!
I’m in for perennials! And if they have blue flowers, I swoon!
Same!! Bring on the blues!
Yes! One of my favorite blue flowers is blue delphinium.
I agree. I loved my blue delphiniums. The deep blue/purple ate my favs.
Echinops 💙💙💙

So many fantastic ideas, Laura! This year, I want to help my parents with a garden bed at their home that they haven’t ever been happy with but now I have some new ideas!
You are so blessed to still have your parents. Love you willing heart to help them find & plant new flowering perennials to make a garden they love.

These are my favorite because although I live in New Mexico we have similarities with dry, no humidity, wind, etc. thank you!
Oooh! I like the foliage color on the skullcap. This will be a wonderful addition.

Good morning Laura Aaron wow these 5 beautiful flowers t beautiful this years and easy kept
I have to say your channel is the reason why gardening is now a hobby for me. I really love echinacea but with so many varieties and limited space on my garden what would be your top 3 choices for a beginner gardener? Thank you!
Hi, you could try Cheyenne spirit. You get a range of a few different colors on the same plant. And you can't go wrong with the traditional Echinacea purpurea. Popular varieties at garden centers are pow wow wildberry and pow wow white. Hope this helps.

The plants are listed in the video description. Check the names there. Don’t respond to the stalker above!
I love this kind of videos. I also love seeing different pictures of the plant while Laura talks.
Good morning Laura! Always good to have a morning flower class with you.Thank you for all the great information. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Hi Laura, may I ask what those beautiful coneflowers were that you had pictured along with the coraljade sedum @5:16? I also grow the supreme cantaloupe cone flower, its gorgeous! Thank you!!
at 9:45 she says the variety is Supreme Cantelope Echinacea. Happy gardening!
I very much appreciate you mentioning the pH needs of the plants. I wish all garden people would include pH information. Thanks for Garden Answer.
Ohhhhh bunnies, they eat everything!!! Thanks for the info Laura!
All beautiful plants Laura! Thanks for sharing!!!
Great list just ordered the Spot On Lungwort for a shade area under a window.

YES to the Cantaloupe Echinacea - I grow multiple plants of these in my garden and use for my cut flower sales at the farmer's market!
Thanks for sharing. I live in zone 9b and we get hot here so I want to try a couple of these and see how they do. Spring is around the corner

I appreciate this list because they are not all Proven Winners plants. Now, I love Proven Winners. But, I appreciate that Laura is giving us a true list of her top favorites and not just a list of Proven Winners plants.

All these are wonderful plants I hope will be available in Zone 6b in Massachusetts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
I love the new lids and automatic watering options. thanks for showing them to us. Also, thanks to Russel for his help
Great video going to try some of the plants this yr u have so many good suggestions of how and where and how to take care of the plants. Love to watch ur videos so much information. God bless u and urs.
Great video. I’ll look for them. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Time to go shopping!!! Thank you Laura!
If you start getting rabbits, use Irish Spring Soap. They don't like the smell. We used the soap all last year and no rabbits. Got a case from Amazon not much of a cost. Put them under bushes hung them low on fence. It really works.
Hi Laura, I love the photo at 10 min. so beautiful ! It would look great on the cover of a coffee table book of your gardens.

Such beauty, so many flowers.
Love watching what you plants as I live in an area of Hampshire in UK that is on the coast and have a similar soil type and suffer with the same problem with our water !
Oh I love the sound of the skullcap.
You are so knowledgeable with your plant advise and thank you very much
I'm noticing a lot of native plants on this list! That's probably why you're getting such great pollinator activity on them. Love to see it 😍
I see lung wort in the woods when I'm hiking. I've been tempted to transplant some of it to my shade garden but, I haven't. I'll look for it at the garden center. It is a tough plant with pretty foliage.
Excellent collection 🥰
Great overview of perennials! Thank you for helping us believe spring is on its way!
A beautiful selection of plants.This was fun to watch and educational
Pulmonaria definitely need extra water if planted in dry shade. I’ve had them wither away when planted on a dry shady berm. Love these videos-especially now with the ice storm that hit Michigan and no power. Thank goodness for my iPhone. 😊
Thank you for the wealth of information

Good afternoon Laura and family
Can't wait to get hold of some of those perennials and hope I can find some locally if not here I go back to Amarillo,Texas ugh. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful rest of the afternoon 👋🙂
I love how all of these can be used for medicinal uses.
Love seeing all your perennial suggestions in this video! I was wondering what variety of Echinacea you have planted next to the Coraljade Stonecrop Sedum? (At 5:48 in the video) Thanks SO much for all you do!
I checked on the pronunciation awhile back and either one you mentioned are correct - it was about half and half. Love your videos.
Thankyou so very much for sharing your work Laura! It's always exciting to see what comes back the next year!! You help me visualize my garden and consider orientation. My landscape is coming together thanks to you🖤 Views from a zone 5B!💯
💚 💜 Hey 👋 These plants are all great
I agree the brunnera should be in this list. I got mine bc of your recommendation on another video. It’s a beautiful shade plant and has very nice delicate flowers but it’s the leaves I like on the Jack Frost. Skullcap look interesting for my sunny spots. 7a ny Thank you😊
What a great little list of plants. I will give them a try, except the sedum as I already have some in my garden.
We are building our house on an old gravel pit, so this has been really helpful when it comes time to landscape! Thanks Laura!
I have tons of rabbits. One year we had three nest in the yard. Lots of voles, too.
Definitely incorporating some of these this year. Do you have a video on best practices for soil replacement? When to replace and when to amend containers and raised beds?✨
All beautiful plants but I especially like the shade plant! My yard is filled with large trees so it was good hear about the Lungwort. I hope I can find it my garden center. Thanks for the tips!
I had never heard of Scutellaria….looked it up and it’s a medicinal herb. If you have the American skullcap, that explains why it does so well in our native soil. Sort of like echinacea and black-eyed Susans.
This was so timely. I am reworking my front flowerbed. Some of the plants died and another is sad, which I am digging up and moving to another location. This gives me some great ideas to spruce it up and hopefully will look lush and have a punch of color.
Laura, I always look forward to this time of year and hearing what plants you recommend. These are all beautiful plants. Was wondering if you could also do a video on perennials that like full sun and can withstand wetter soil. Thank you!
Awesome list of flowers! I'm thinking I could grow them here in Tucson. Thank you.💙🌿🌵🌱💛
Thanks for including high ph plants that go up to a zone 9 or 10. I live in zone 9b in low desert and we have very high alkaline native soil
Kathryn hello I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?

Great video. Would love some videos focused on drought tolerant plants.
