I'm so excited you put out another video! I love these so much. I've watched them so many times! I especially love the ones with the landscape plans. Thank you for putting this together ❤
So great to see a video!
I see so much discussion of hydrangeas online but I don’t see many in my area of 9b Houston—we obviously get very hot and very humid. I see hydrangeas with descriptions that include zone 9 and even full sun. But I remain very skeptical. So many “zone 9” plants I’ve spent money on can’t handle my zone 9. Are there really varieties of hydrangeas I can grow here in my garden that gets 6 hours of sun?
Can I grow heavenly scent in a container in zone 6? I bough one but I have no more room to grow it.
I have 3 fruit snack trees in containers in zone 6 and they actually survived the winter and put up some fruits.
The survey should contain an option for all of the above.
Hmm Bar Harbor, a new hydrangea, that is native to the entire east coast from New York to Florida, but not New England? Funny because Bar Harbor is actually in Maine.

Chicago hardy fig zone 6, but Chicago is zone 5a and 5b?

Are there any pet safe evergreen shrubs? Boxwoods and hollies are toxic to dogs… Looking for pet friendly shrubs we can suggest to owners and use personally.
