When I used to sell plants at garden centers, many customers were more concerned with a plant’s survivability, rather than its specific characteristics. “I just want it to live!”

Your're the first I've heard mention how awful it is to cut back Russian Sage. I have about 15 mature plants and dread cutting them back each year but they are worth it.
This is my garden motto also: "I just want it to live." Thanks for posting this. I agree with many of your choices. Yes, my Sarah Bernhardt peonies are reliable and stunning, but definately need to be staked. I love my Denim n' Lace Russian sage and just ordered 9 more. I'm trying Heliopsis for the first time this year.
I love your channel! I like to stay away from russian sage, d o you think leadplant is a good option?
8:07 Off topic but in a picture you cut to at that mark there’s a row of 5 or 6 conifers that it looks like you use as a backdrop, what type of trees are those?
That's Great Help – Have a very tough time keeping things growing!!! Thank you very much!
I can't believe you put "Snow on the Mountain" on your list. Once you have it you will never get rid; extremely invasive.
