‘Goshiki’ osmanthus, ‘Crippsii’ Chamaecyparis, ‘Sunny Foster’ holly, ‘Guacamole’ hosta, ‘Angelina’ sedum, ‘Summer Gold’ maple and ‘Roman Candle’ podocarpus are showing great undimmed foliage color right now.

[@katiekane5247]

Angelina still beats Lemon Ball in my zone 7 garden.

[@taylorswf23]

I tend to dislike chartreuse in the sun but crave that brightness in shade gardens 💚

[@jcking6785]

Can’t believe I used to dislike chartreuse colored foliage; I thought they looked sick. Now it’s a plant color I’m drawn to time and time again. It adds so much to a garden. I now have 4 Sunshine Ligustrum thanks to your introduction and hope to add Florida Sunshine Illicium one day.

[@WardCastle]

My ‘Forever Goldy’ Arborvitae gets sun from sun-up to sunset and still looks amazing here in zone 7a.

[@gracepeterson7483]

I want to see the purple/dark foliage plants and the blue/gray foliage plants, pretty please.

[@debrabray8855]

Me too!

[@rachelsgarden]

Great topic, hope you’ll do another one on purple foliage! I’m surprised that a stand out for me is my sprite winterberry Hollys. Their new growth on top is lime green, contrasting their dark green foliage. Planted next to a drift of string theory amsonia, also a lighter green.

[@kaychaney6102]

My sunshine ligustrum continues to bring me joy. I’ve had it a pot for its second summer but plan to put it in the ground in full sun zone 8 this fall.

[@juliannetaylor9989]

I love starting plants off in container plantings and adding to landscape, too!

[@kaval1er]

Oh, and I forgot to add Little Honey hydrangea! I believe I learned about this plant from your channel, if memory serves me. The color, even without flowers is awesome.

[@dzack02]

I have a Bananappeal anise that gets around 6-7 hours of morning sun that I planted in Feb is growing beautifully. I was nervous when I planted it but it seems to be thriving.

[@dzack02]

I'm in zone 7b

[@UlkeIcin-br8sk]

Güzel bahçe dilinizi bilmiyorum ama izledim abone oldum turkiyeden selamlar😊

[@DatKrazyKook]

🎉 first!! 😊 haven’t missed a video from both channels sine I started watching a year ago.

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you so much for following along!

[@amywright2243]

I like that variegated Holly you were petting!❤ Sweet girl. Thanks for the update because I'm shopping for chartreuse now.

[@julieh2935]

Thanks, Jim! I’ve been really impressed by Sunshine Ligustrum. That is one tough plant!

[@AmyBlau-hh8fo]

Lived in Asheville 25 years now in Texas. Sunshine ligustrum showing off this summer and Texas sage. A silver shrub with purple flowers. Experimenting with some variegated agave. 😊 miss NC.

[@frankramirez271]

OMG starting at 2:37 that part of your garden looks so gorgeous. It looks like something out of a fairy tale love it

[@urchinsushi2041]

Great video Jim! My cotinus GOLDEN SPIRIT smokebush that I’ve trained into a 4-5 ft tree looks incredible right now, it’s GLOWING 🌟- I also have Grace, and Royal Purple - the sun really lights up the new growth like no other plant that I know of - highly recommend any cotinus to any gardener

[@JimPutnam]

Nice!

[@someguy5927]

I have a winecraft black. It's beautiful in the spring with new growth, stays dark all summer, and then the fall leaves glow when the sun shines through. One of my favorite plants

[@rachelsgarden]

@@someguy5927 I’ve had this on my list… good to hear it holds its color through the summer!

[@urchinsushi2041]

@@someguy5927 thank-you for the recommendation - I will have to get one!! ♥️

[@someguy5927]

@rachelwrenn some of the older leaves turn more a VERY dark green, but it's still growing in 100 degree heat, full afternoon sun. The flowers bracts aren't much, but I have it there for foliage so I cut them off anyway. I have three, 2nd year, one put on 3 ft of growth in the spring. The others are slower, but growing. It's on drip. CA central valley is bone dry this time of year. It takes our 108 degree heat waves no problem. No wilting, and again, still putting on some growth, and the new growth is dark purple

[@sunsickokra218]

I planted a Florida Sunshine Illicium on the north side of my house last fall (7b), and it is still looking great despite a cooking in a couple hours of afternoon sun. Truly a great plant that you turned me on to. I have some Kaleidoscope Abelia next to Orange Rocket Barberry and they are looking 🔥 right now.

[@toxicmale2264]

I would nominate my golden jackpot weigela. It has held its chartreuse color throughout the hottest days so far. It is in full sun.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

My Queen Tut grass is doing great! I don’t like grasses that much but this one is really nice by our recirculating pond! Zone 8, GA

[@kaval1er]

What's still showing off... Ruby Falls redbud, Tiger Eye sumac (just planted last year, we'll see if it becomes aggressive or not), Fothergilla Blue Shadow (love it planted next to some black heuchera), Coral Bark Japanese maple, Summer Wine black ninebark, Age of Gold, Stained Glass, and Guacamole hostas, Acanthus Spinosus Whitewater (similar in coloration to your fatsia), Red Abyssinian Banana (crazy big and beautiful!), Bonfire and Ascot Rainbow euphorbias. Never thought I would like euphorbias, but am enjoying them quite a bit. I think I may have cheated by adding purple-leafed plants, but I love them! (Zone 6B, southeastern PA)

[@marybeth4002]

I listen and learn so much from your channel, however, when Miss Holly shows up.... I'm all into her sweetness ❤

[@urchinsushi2041]

Also forgot to mention I have several Japanese maples that have nice color right now - but there are several on my wishlist for that summer glow - AUREUM, JORDAN, AUTUMN MOON, etc 💛

[@bobebbeskotte]

Some of my favorite foliage plants in my garden are Sumac Tiger Eye and 3-4 different kinds of barberries. I have a weeping white pine which the foliage is just green but the character is outstanding. Wish I could share pictures.

[@Collington23]

‘Gold Mound’ Duranta is the #1 chartreuse plant that holds up in central FL’s summertime heat. It’s a shame since there’s next to no showcase videos of it online. Up in Asheville, NC I’ve seen some nice ‘Sun King’ Aralia that also look great right now that I haven’t heard talked about on this channel.

[@christytrunko6970]

I have two touch of gold holly plants that I bought in spring and put in containers. And boy these things are doing awesome!!! I am in zone 6 and plan on putting these in the pots they are in ..into bigger pots in the winter. I hope they make it, because I know they should be a couple of zones lower if they are in containers…

[@marythomson3229]

My Forever Goldie Arborvitae look great in full sun, North Alabama. 7b

[@karenmuhlig8185]

all your plants look great 🪴🌿🐞

[@shreyasghanta]

Amazing video.

[@braybray4573]

I love the Florida Sunshine Elysium it's a beautiful plant

[@susanaustin6353]

Holly is such a helper! Great ideas!

[@GardeningNC]

White caladium and variegated fatsia😊

[@carolynclark8780]

Hi, Jim. Another great video! Thanks for the reminder about Mojo Pittosporum. Gotta find a spot for that. I made notes about some others that are new to me: the illicium, the dwarf holly, and that gorgeous chamaecyparis! I'm envious that you can grow St. John's wort in the SE; it's invasive up here in the Pacific NW. Love your channel. I always learn so much from you.

[@VictoriaLeo-pg3wu]

I added a sunshine ligustrum this spring to a boring area behind my garage because of your recommendations and I have been loving it, I also have a miss lemon abelia on your recommendation and its looking great! Angelina sedum here, zone 7a, is pretty aggressive but it has really pretty flowers right now and its color is great. Also for perennials my spiderwort is doing well in part shade. Love this video!

[@betsybugsmith5324]

Fixing to go broke buying beautiful plants. Wonderful ideas. New meaning for Holly bush 🪴 🐕.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jim, great choices.🌸💚🙃

[@zoreslavazinczenko1060]

Thanks so much so this informative video, Jim & Steph! (AND Holly). SO, so, so loving your collection! Will NEVER get tired of your "chaos" - you make life interesting!!!!

[@dia9491]

I really love those spider web fatsia. Those are so cool. I love how the leaves change when they mature. In my garden the standout, although they both flower is Veronica ground cover and lithodora. Neither has flowers on them right now but they always look good no matter how hot it is. The flowers are pretty too but the foliage is so pretty I’m ok if the flowers go away. The Veronica has copper colored stems and green leaves that have a copper tinge to them when it’s really hot outside but in the rest of the year it’s bright green. The lithodora has very dark green foliage all year long but when it flowers those flowers are neon purple drops of color. I cannot take a picture of it that does those flowers justice because they are so brightly neon purple almost glowing.

[@user-pw7rr2bd6q]

Beautiful garden ❤

[@onetuliptree]

My yard has several of the variagated Yucca and I thought about getting rid of them because of the spikes, but in the container with the delicate plant looks lovely!

[@DS-rf7si]

How about a video of Holly approved plants? She's variegated too. Hugs and kisses and extra belly rubs for Holly from me/ us viewers

[@burntorangehorn]

I use golden oregano (aka golden marjoram) as a perennial groundcover, and it stays beautifully chartreuse here in MD.

[@amynelsongreen3243]

My show off is a variegated ceanothus that is chartreuse and a lovely dark green. It flowers in spring, but all summer it has been spectacular with just the foliage. It’s been a great plant. I’ve been swooning over your spiders web fatsia for a long time and need to find a spot for one in my garden. PNW 8b.

[@beckyscheller9358]

I have lemon coral sedum in containers I bring them in for the winter zone 5. Love the color

[@JLee-pc2vc]

Sun King aralia, Thunderbolt lonicera, Lemon Lime Nandina, Dolce Apple Twist heuchera, Southern Shield fern, and Coast to Coast hosta are a few of the chartreuse show-offs in my garden right now. My Sunshine ligustrums usually shed their leaves around February or March. This year they waited until May! Weird. They've recovered nicely, though.

[@JM-lo8xu]

I must find that heuchera! It's beautiful! Thanks for the recommendation

[@charlottecannon5288]

Jazz Hands Lorapedlum is a total winner for us 12 months a year.

[@jordanyeager9220]

Our Sun Hostas have been holding up here in Florida Zone 8. 🌿

[@flowerbanzai]

Great video ! いいね！

[@jebprendergast101]

I can’t believe the Golden Falls Redbud came in for some criticism here! That’s the pillar of the garden! Btw you have to come up with a catchy name for your landscape a la “the Bristol Briar.”

[@jennifergreene8891]

Sweet Ms. Holly 😊 My Sunshine Lagustrum is so light colored (almost white) but, still growing. Zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast area 🥵 Will they need to be moved? Tyia

[@8helenjhouston8]

Jim’s Favorite Things - chartreuse & variegated plants!!!

[@annettearellano9482]

Is there any zone 3 Redbud? Thank you

[@ThreeRunHomer]

I’ve been considering adding a Thuja Orientalis ‘Franky Boy’ this autumn. Does it not hold up well in the summer?

[@loriledner6528]

Hi Jim and Stephanie- Not related, but do you or any of your followers have any suggestions for me to get rid of moles in my Atlanta garden? Thank you !!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

We used a bait ( I think? It’s been awhile) that u drop down the holes . They were eating everything in my Roswell garden! It worked!
