Need more videos like this one, I will follow your instructions to learn more about gardening, my way did not work, thanks for sharing.
Many of the ones you show are not winter hardy.
Hostas, Lavender, Sedum, Heuchera, Coreopsis and Coneflowers.
LOL, Hostas are to deer as an upscale steak house is to people. The only place there can be Hosta, unavailable to deer is inside / behind the fence for the swimming pool.
You didn’t cover sun versus shade when talking about hostas very important I think.
Deadheading is a lot of work.
The sun and shade requirements that is so important is lacking here. I wish you would’ve covered that. Also with each perennial you talked about. You did cover some of the sun or shade requirements. It would be good to add that to everyone that you’ve covered.
Thanks
Come to the POINTTTTT !!!
This was great. Thanks. Glad I found your site. If I am planting echinacea in a 12-16 inch container should I put in one single plant? Two?
