Love the plants. It would be fun and interesting to put a tiny camera on Russell. A day with Russell.
Laura, you have become a world-class teacher, an expert in your field. What an accomplishment! Give yourself a big Pat on the back from all of us who are your students. 85 years old, Tacoma, Wa US
This is what I’ve been waiting for!!
One of the top 5 videos you have presented, so dang helpful. Fan in Bozeman, MT.
I am excited see all of these ground covers. I am going to try them i. Pots on my balcony that is now my retirement garden….thx for the inspiration
Yes! Periwinkle is invasive. I retired in '71,and was given a planter containing it. I split and added it to other pots. Somehow, it hit the ground and took off! Finally had enough when it completely filled a bed. It died during a drought, but showed up in a bed across the driveway…cement! Seems to be staying in that bed, for now.😊
Grace Ward – I so wish we could get this to come back each season but after two attempts I’m uncertain. In zone 7 and love the blue but it’s so hard to keep happy. 💙
West side formal garden area remove all the plants relocate to south garden. Not the bushes trees urines etc. use a ground cover to cover the ground plant up the Urns trim the box woods other bushes accordingly. Just ground cover on the garden bed. Free up a lot of time and it would look good. The size of your gardens you need 100rds not one each.
I’m love this video! Thank you for taking the time to cover so many plants. I’ve been trying to g to do this research on my own and it’s sooo nice to have such a broad comparison in one place. Definitely chose a couple of options for my garden for spots that have been waiting for the past couple of years for me to find the right plant. 🙌🏻
Very helpful, so fun to see them all! I love trying out new groundcovers. You are right there are hundreds. Blue star creeper is another that I love. How about doing a deep dive into ajuga? There are so many new ones now. Last year I found Princess Leia, a white one. I'm looking forward to seeing if it spreads.
Thanks for sharing.
No mention of your favorite, lamium! 😄 Question, are the oregano and thyme varieties edible?
Those raspberry plants look like a VERY INVASIVE plant I used in a backyard bed. Three years later I was digging up the whole backyard. Tough but took over everything. BE Careful. Due to you dry soil you may be ok with it.
Fantastic video, I learned SO much and I can't wait to fill my lawn with some of these. I never thought to do this and I think it would great under the trees where grass struggles.
Also, your hair is looking extra fabulous 👌
This was so helpful!! I actually saw two ground covers that I already have and didn't know the name of. I just had stepping stones put in my cottage garden last year and will be putting ground cover around/between them this year. It's like you read my mind. My neighbors think I'm a savvy gardener. They'd be surprised to hear that I learned most of what I know from you! Thanks for making me look good.
The Bowls common periwinkle! Beautiful! However, it is an eternal plant. 😱 I'm in Utah, high mountain dessert, zone 6. I ripped out this plant 3 years ago, and I'm still finding it. It was also planted on the northwest side of my home. I steer clear of any periwinkle.
Great ground cover haul!💚
Great video! My dad and I were just talking about grass alternatives, as we are located in the Oklahoma Panhandle. I told him we should just spray paint the grass green. Jk. 😂😂
Great content!
Very informative and I love it, but lately that amount of commercials every other minute gets annoying. I don't mind to see full commercials in between the video, but these many… I know is part of the YouTube thing and part of the business, but still, you get lost on the info sometimes and need to rewind it to get the idea she was sharing.
Sorry for the vent…
In my defense, I watch every single video on this channel… I love it.
Laura, Aaron and their family are the best!
Laura, thank you so much for this video! Especially the detailed close-up shots! I too am trying to up my groundcover game. I planted blue star creeper last season and it filled in beautifully and I am happy to report that it is already greening up for spring. I want to try the creeping phlox for a full sun area. Are there any groundcovers that do well by direct seed sowing? Please be sure to do a follow up video on which groundcovers performed best for you!
Can't find the Spanish Gold anywhere?
Great information! Thank you.
Thank you. I’ve been waiting for you to talk about groundcover forever!!!!
This is exactly the video I have wanted!! I have a horrible city tree in my front yard that drops seeds that germinate almost instantly. I’m hoping if I find the right ground cover I can keep these seeds from germinating. It just might be the creeping Phlox.
Little Missy has not come back for me here in 6a Spokane and tried it twice because I too loved that sedum.
So many amazing ground cover choices!
I really love sedums as ground cover. They are so easy to propagate, just by pinching off small segments and tossing them about. Like they do for rooftop gardens. And BONUS–my honeybees forage heavily on the flowers!
Regarding Irish Moss: Such a beautiful texture and color. But beware! In climates that are a bit damper than Laura's 'arid desert' climate, Irish Moss will thrive, take off, and spread, spread, spread. Plant it once and you'll never get rid of it. I live in zone 6-7, southern NY state. I planted it once, 15 years ago, and it has spread everywhere. It's easy to pull up, but in more humid/moist areas, know that it will be with you forever and appear in many places you may not want it!
Hi Laura, it is wonderful to have beautiful outdoor spaces, but some of us live in small apartments in New York City and in order to have a semblance of nature, we get very creative and have to use a lot of grow lights. I would have loved to know which one of these I can use in the pot around my big philodendrons or other plants that can survive under grow lights and can tolerate cold winters and extremely humid summers of New York, although because they’re inside, the use of heat and AC creates less fluctuation in the temperature.
Suer selection!
Beware the gorgeous baby tears – very invasive in temperate climes. ❤
Thank you for this video – great timing as I’m in the market for these type plants for several head vases.
