thank you

Fan-tastic!!!

Your gardens are beautiful. I'm just starting to transition my lawn to prairie. Your little bluestem is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing 😊❤

I have them in a flower bed and I added an aster this past spring and that seems to be crowding out the wood poppy. Do you have any experience with that? I'll move the aster if I need to as I really like the poppy in this space

What zone are you?

I did not know this tree existed until I bought some Tupelo honey and then was very curious and googled it. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

It’s the woodland area for me senttttt me the odds of it all inside thing awesome tho adorable flowers 🌺

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

It is a good nectar plant for small butterflies for sure but I haven't seen anything even as big as a cabbage white or silver spotted skipper on it. Mostly hairstreaks and small skippers.

If I wanted to dig some of this up from the wild and transplant it into my garden, when is the best time to do this? Spring? Fall?

Hi, keep up the good work, I love your video's, I hope you are doing well. I'm going to look for one these willows, I have a good place for it in my yard. Take care,

i got one at walmart. for $10! any thoughts on probagation, suspect willl take well to rooting. nm i heard your answer 5min in

Great native plant 👍

Pollinator plants get all the glory but you need host plants if you want to keep those insect populations up! Many butterflies (and other insects) are equally as picky about host plants as monarchs-- and many of them depend on groundcovers, grasses, and things we'd normally call weeds! It's important to have a good mix.

Have you tried Solidago Rugosa Fireworks? It’s like a golden rod exploded just like a firework 😊

Will grow ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE 😅 I weed whack these bad boys. I’m glad you like them but even healthy I can only see “weed”. I have a lovely wild purple flower that grows just as prolific as the golden rod along with my garden so pollinators are getting their fill. I am surprised to know it’s supporting 122. 😅

Found some on my roadsides where i walk in Virginia, horay mountain mint , seems very similar to yours

I enjoyed your garden tour. I was glad to see your American Elm. They are huge trees aren’t they?

I have two growing in pots, but I think I’m gonna put them in my plots with my milkweed, echinacea and others!

Just really plan where you’ll plant it. With roots that go down 10 feet your not going to be moving it.

They grow just fine against my brick garage wall in full hot sun. We're in our third year of extreme drought and i havent watered them. Mine do flop.

Thank you! I always loved golden rod. Nice to hear someone point out their positive aspects.

Lupine are a keystone species in some part of the country, and they're one of the most beautiful flowers out there. They're also incredibly easy to grow from seed, which means if you can't find the right species in the store, you can find nearby wild populations and collect just a few seeds (ethical guideline is to make sure you're not taking more than 1/10th of the seeds you fine- and with lupine, just a few seeds is enough) and grow those in your garden, and then get subsequent generations of lupine from the seeds from your own plants. This also helps preserve local genetic diversity. I'm on my third generation of yellow bush lupine in my yard.

Hi there, do you know if ironweed will bloom first year from your experience? I have two small ironweeds I winter sowed they are just now starting to pick up a little bit and put on some growth, not sure if they will bloom this year or not

GREAT ASSORTMENT I will be planting some in mine😊 thank you 💚

Found a patch in the woods behind me. Will keep an eye out for the berries to mature. I'd love to have red admirals in the yard!

I HAVE THEM, WILDLIFE LOVES THEM 🦋🐞🐝

Can we call it ‘kitty toes’?

Just found a garden center that had some, so I got three small pots. Glad to hear that it divides easily and grows fast because I've wanted it as a ground cover for awhile! Hopefully I can get it planted tomorrow, but I might divide up the plants and put them in smaller pots for awhile just so I have more to put in the ground!

I estimate my red milkweed at 50% of its bloomlife and it still gets lots of wild bees coming in for a sip! I wish I had larger real estate for even more swamp milkweed and other native plants!

I just planted this a few months ago. We've hit a heat wave but I've been keeping with watering it daily, if not every other day because I read they can tolerate wet feet. I wonder if I'm drowning it though by trying to water it a ton because of the heat, or, maybe it needs even more water?? -- one side of the shrub looks crispy brown like it was scorched by the sun but the other side is green and it even has some pink flowers already! It faces north but gets some dappled shade from a tall silver maple we have.

Will this plant rebloom if I dead head it? Thank you for the video. The one I have is purple but I like the white too.

Does it spread or is it a small clump-forming plant?

Should I deadhead?

The problem is they mostly sell the white cultivars in my local nurseries. I try to buy the originals online but they never seem to transplant well with the ones I'm getting and it doesn't seem to seed well unfortunately. I do have plenty of white ones I guess

I have a different kind of mountian mint that I started from seed this year. Do you know where one can buy seeds for the kind you are growing?

Thank you for sharing this important knowledge! I hope to harvest some of the milkweed seeds on my property later this year

Great video!

Would love to see an update!

I can’t find anyone who has actually made tea out of it. Kinda crazy that no one has been curious enough to try it given the name lol. I bought two bushes though, so I’ll have to test it out

leaf cutter bees enjoy this plant

Love mine! So pretty, smells nice and saw lots of little bees and small butterflies on mine.

Thanks for the knowledge ✌🏻💨732nj

Many years ago I heard the saying “First year it sleeps, second year it creeps, third year it leaps!” I have found this to be true with perennials…usually takes them three years to come into their own! Hard to wait but so worth it! Thank you for the videos!

A bird planted some in my backyard! 🐦

I'd like to try again. Do you have a video or can you recommend a video that details how to transplant the dwarf crested iris - How to dig them up and replant? This is a novice asking with no familiarity of transplanting this flower. Or if any viewer can direct me to such a video? Thank you.

Gosh such a beautiful garden would love an update on it:)

How long did it take for you to get caterpillars on your milkweed?

How’s your milkweed doing now? Would love a update!
