    Lilacs were my mom’s favorite. Great news sis my niece Kendra performed her first surgery at Veterinary University and it was a success!

    Thank you for another great video! I saw a combination of vinca and white Trilliums, many years ago, which were so beautiful together that I’ve never forgotten it. I see you have tons of Bloodroot 😍

    I wish I could plant freely, but the deer and rabbit pressure is too much. They are attracted to my landscape because everything else is cedar, buckthorn, and oaks so I have to fence everything. And you never chance a small tree as a flowering crabapple 😂 the bucks would shred it. I have plenty of room to plant, but not fenced in and those areas are filled up. Fencing isn’t cheap. I had extra irises, coneflower and day lillies I tried outside the fence and I seen they attacked them.

    It’s too dry, hot and sandy here for many flowers and I’m also Z5. The past few winters were way above avg temps and it just takes a few days of a polar vortex like WI had this year to fry plants. I will be really surprised if I have any volunteers. I love azaleas and rhododendrons but I don’t think they would do well and definitely would need fencing, yours looked very nice. Sigh.

    There are a few flowers/herb that go rampant here—very aggressive: Woodland anemone, oregano, vinca periwinkle, purple morning glory, plaintan hosta, spider wort and a yellow flowered Gold moss stonecrop sold also under the name Stepables. The latter is a hideously aggressive plant and will take over any lawn and would give creeping Charlie a run for sure. I’ve battle all of them every year and can’t get rid of them because one piece of root left behind they take off. And I have no idea about this morning glory that was here, but I never seen them return like they do and I never let them seed out.

    I’ve tried for years to get peonies to bloom—finally last year I had a couple flowers 🙌🏼. It’s in an area I dumped tons of wood chips over 5 years ago and it must be rich enough to give them whatever it needs. So looking forward to spring and new spring bulbs. Thanks for the overview 😀

    Vita, thank you for all the perennial information in this video. Well done. One thing to keep in mind is that the phrase 'deer resistant' doesn't necessarily mean deer won't harm the plants. If deer are hungry enough they will eat anything. The 'deer resistant' plants might be their least favorite, but they are not 'deer proof' by any means. We're having this issue now as hungry deer are eating anything they can find, including 'deer resistant' plants.

    Thank you Vita! I love the 'Basket of Gold' and will have to find that one! I think spring is my favorite season for flowers. Like you, we don't get many blooms from November to March. The only flower I didn't see on your list are hellebores. I love their sweet blooms but the plants are very pricey so I add a few every year. Stinking hellebores (Helleborus foetidus), which don't actually stink, will naturalize if you want one as a ground cover. I don't have any in my garden yet but they are at our local arboretum and have really pretty foliage once they are done flowering. Callie is a beautiful cat and so is your orange tabby.

    I love my small leaf rhododendron. It's been growing in containers for over 5 years, it has survived several polar winters and is the first to flower. Supper hardy in Chicago.

    I am trying to winter sow Sweet Woodruff and its annual cousin Blue Woodruff this year from seeds that I bought from the Select Seeds website. I love the dainty flowers. Have you harvested the seeds before? I may try to harvest some seeds this year from existing Sweet Woodruff plants that I already have. It is probably easier to divide existing plants instead of starting from seeds. But fun to try. Thanks for an informative video.

    Hi Vita! Do you have a "shopping list"? I tried to grab some screen shots… From the bathtub…😁. But a list would be wonderful! Don't judge. I'm getting peace and quiet!😂
