Almost everything in this video is hardy into zone 6 and some even hardier than that.

[@glendapeters8899]

Thank you! I was wondering as I'm in 6!

[@amywright2243]

I bet you and Tony are hardy to at least Zone 3. 😊 Great info and videography!

[@ya-ya1766]

I could listen to Tony all day. His wealth of knowledge is astounding.

[@lilyw.1788]

Thank you for doing these garden tours and nurseries tours . Love all the information and expertise from the experts!! This is like a private tour that you can’t get even if you want to pay money for !

[@yourpathmatters]

He's definitely the right person to ask about the subject, a wealth of knowledge.

[@jebprendergast101]

“Landscaping in drifts of one” - I love that!

[@Cpicky]

So many great plants and ideas. I’m sure I will watch this one more than once.

[@missprettyplants7217]

So many unique shade garden plants!! Thanks Jim for showing them and so incredible so see the wealth of knowledge Tony has! thank u

[@ericaallen2756]

immediately grabbed my notepad. yay!

[@kerryjean2223]

"Landscaping in drifts of one" lol x 🌺💮🌷🌸

[@canuckviolet3322]

Tony is amazing! I'm glad you asked that question about his memory. I was curious about that too. 😊 And fab video!

[@katiekane5247]

So nice to highlight some of the woodland natives of the S.E.. I can lose myself along a N. Georgia stream. Great vid guys!

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching! These are fun and I have many more planned with some amazing people

[@judymiddleswart9350]

Wow this is spectacular and giving me great hints in my tropical/woodland shade garden !! Love the rock arrangements! Thanks Tony and to you Jim!! Awesome!!!

[@janereel1903]

I'm glad you gave shout outs to the cats! Great video overall.

[@sherriianiro747]

Just a note - it is illegal in most states to dig up trillium and other wildflowers from the wild. I found companies that seed propagate them instead and they do grow.

[@JimPutnam]

My guess at the time was that Tony was throwing a bit of shade on that practice.

[@lrieke8300]

Special. Keep the Master's interviews coming!!!

[@graylagran7443]

I have to say these PD videos with Tony are amazing! He’s so packed with information and knowledge. So cool! Please keep up these visits. It really adds a ton for when I visit and I see the plants he talks about that improbably would had otherwise passed. .

[@threeriversforge1997]

Glad to see at least a few natives covered. That wild ginger and pachysandra procumbens are on my short list for things to add to the yard this year. We desperately need more native plants and less of the fragmentation caused by non-natives.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Jim this was such a treat as I am a shade-garden lover! The ferns, carexes, and wild gingers immediately caught my eye. Juniper is on my bucket-list this year. Thanks

[@adrabruzzese7610]

Thanks Jim, great guest and great video.

[@juliabinford6500]

I have some really tough shade areas. I’m going to see if Rodeas grow in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for this video!

[@mariasmith6438]

This is going in my saved video list, there are just so many plant compositions that I want to copy. What a wonderful video! I am in Georgia so visitig the gardens in person is not an option.

[@mdwalker3034]

Great video, Jim! Thank you. Cannot wait to do a deep dive on many of these plants. Your videos always make me explore new options for my landscape.

[@gabimattison7435]

100% . Same!

[@kathybakke4863]

Wonderful tour...thank you!!! Also...KUDOS for the person who segmented the red 'play line'.

[@JJ-fm3hr]

what a wealth of knowledge that you all share!!

[@missdeeva2266]

Thank you for bringing us along! This place is for sure on my "life list" of places to visit

[@micheleyates3625]

It sure is worth it!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Enjoy seeing Plant Delights nursery. I used to order semi often from them, along with Heronswood when Dan Hinkley owned it, because they were 2 places I could find unusual and rare plants not found anywhere else. I still would be ordering from Plant Delights except between the deer eating everything and bad health the past years, I just don't get to garden much these days. Anyway, it's fun and interesting to see places and people I only knew from their catalogs and online.

[@cme9758]

Great video, so many more shade plants than I ever imagined.

[@juliasullivan3760]

Jim, you must have read my mind on what I’m looking to plant this spring. 🤗 Thanks so much for this video

[@future7ify]

This is perfect timing! Thank you for covering this topic 🤗

[@leightodd7335]

Good timing Jim. I've got a wooded backyard that needs some shade plant ideas. I guess Plant delights is going to get a call. lol

[@RevAcres01]

Thank you another excellent video. The varieties were amazing.

[@katherinecornette5315]

Keep em coming! Loving these videos with Tony Avent!

[@clarasclara6010]

I love this garden💐💐💐

[@johnmorris7302]

Awesome info and so is Tony!

[@candacewilson6939]

Great video. Always looking for interesting shade plants. Would love to visit there some day.

[@marylynnhaynes7558]

Great tour! Thank you.

[@lindahopkins2381]

Wow great video! Always learn so much….Thanks Jim and Tony!!

[@gabimattison7435]

Amazing video! I learned so much!! Thank you Jim.

[@barbarawall6349]

Wonder video, I’m totally amazed thank you.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful plants 🪴 Thank You Tony for sharing 🥰

[@lorraineclark3517]

Great tour..... valuable content on plant diversity. Go carex!

[@trace9657]

I want to make this a day trip. It looks so peaceful. I am happy Jasper was introduced and KitCat got a reference from the past videos, she was a scene stealer.

[@rebeccaessick6350]

I’m going over this year for sure. I have a good shade garden ( I thought...). Boy, so many plants to use. Exciting to see some of his in my garden. Thanks for bringing this to us, Jim.

[@terriebutler6737]

Love that Rohdea Japonica, evergreen 😃 Hoping to add this one to my garden. Really enjoyed this. Thanks Jim 🌳🌳🌳🐕

[@Inkydoo]

Oh wow, this is a great video! There are so many different varieties of plants I never considered! Please take us on another visit to the shade garden.

[@merryhaveman353]

Great video! Hope you can get back there when the Lycoris are in bloom.

[@jesswalks765]

Loved this! some some great ideas from this video, plus I think I found their website to order from.

[@dianegentry3255]

Gotta get out there! I need all of those shade plants!!

[@JimPutnam]

It is an amazing place!

[@user-ve3up6iy5s]

wow! amazing video! I "inherited" a almost complete shade garden from the previous owner so I have been learning about shade plants. I thought that I had almost exhausted my research, but this video showed me so many more interesting shade plants!

[@johnnyutah1053]

I love carex. So many different types. I really need to get some Rhodea japonica and some cast iron plants

[@Gtumrths]

Thanks for the tour. It was really interesting. He could have mentioned if these plants are deer resistant.

[@wildsouth2471]

Great video! I’m a new subscriber and loving the content. Especially being in a similar growing zone and climate here in Zone 7b Mississippi we can grow the same things for the part. I love the episodes about plants people normally wouldn’t think would grow in our areas like agave and palms. I grow several species of cold hardy palms here in North Mississippi so couldn’t help but notice the beautiful palmettos in the video. I don’t think you have made one yet but would be really cool if you could make a video on cold hardy palms for our climates. I grow many of them here but would be a cool video!

[@rebeccavalicoff1581]

Since you are so south it would have been helpful to mention zones

[@staciejackson7497]

Plant delights website is very informative, and lists it on the search, without having to click into each plant.

[@aalejardin]

My adult daughter exclaimed, "Mom are you gardening the woods???" I had already ordered some trillium grandiflorum from PD. Seems that I need to go back and pick up a few more woodland items. This video had so many great ideas. Glad to learn that many of the plants are hardy in Zone 6b. Thanks again Jim and Tony!

[@judymiddleswart9350]

Bye Jim I hope you do more videos with Tony!!!!

[@chriscoogan2736]

Just goes to show that there’s plenty of beauty in nature without needing a flower on it.

[@terrysnyder127]

Great ideas for my shade garden here in Washington State zone 8b. I also love the black plant labels. Who makes them? Thanks for sharing.

[@sheilamason5132]

So beautiful. What a lovely to spend the day. I have learned so much from viewing your channel. My go to when I need advice. You are a wealth of knowledge...priceless. What is your suggestion on how to rid crab grass growing up and between my Hydrangea Particula. The plant has been in the ground for 2 years. I tried to pull it up but this prove to be pointless 😪 as I am not getting to the root of the matter. What herbicide would you suggest. I thought of pull the Hydrangea up cleaning 🤔 out the area and then replanting. Help 🙏 please.

[@verawallace9055]

He doesn't like to use herbicide, he said so many times, but one that i was using at the end of summer gets the job done, the hummingbird vines was all over my garden, I will give you the name if you want to give a try

[@anitahadley2871]

Such a beautiful garden. Would love to visit some day. When you talk with the guy that does the stone work could you also discuss ground cover that works well around stepping stones in shade. Thanks so much!

[@staciejackson7497]

Irish Moss and Scotch Moss, (not an all inclusive list)

[@anitahadley2871]

@@staciejackson7497 thanks for the suggestions. One area is a bit dry so I’m not sure if they’d work there.

[@jul7673]

What kind of soil is at Juniper Level? Typical Piedmont rocky? Clay? Incredibly useful video.

[@ryandmiller]

Now wait just a minute. Adult Ivy? This is fascinating. See a few on their website, would love to know what variety is next to the Cast Iron Plant and Yew at 15:00

[@elainethompson6685]

Great video! Would love to add the rohdea to my garden. Is it rabbit resistant?

[@mariensanchez2475]

Thank you, son beautiful... When do you germinates Hibiscus I will wait this vídeo. I have seed of Luna Hibiscus I'm going to try sow it but I don't know, I search ir, My zone is 6a. Bless

[@dorindajenkins7825]

👋😃

[@melissamybubbles6139]

Oh good. I have a narrow side yard in Colorado that is sloped, windy, shady, dry, rocky, compacted clay, and has a severe bindweed problem along with other weeds. 1. What's worse, Roundup or landscape fabric for bindweed? 2. How many layers of cardboard do I need? 3. Do I put potting mix between the cardboard and mulch? Will the cardboard and mulch slide down? 4. Will taprooted plants struggle, or punch through the layers? Thank you. Eventually, I'd like to fill it with asters, shooting stars, columbines, prairie and common violets, pansies, maybe alpine strawberries, etc.

[@victoriaperman5917]

💜😍

[@patternandcraft3908]

What’s that plant in the middle of the polypodium vulgare ferns?

[@verawallace9055]

Black mondo grass i would like to have in my garden, is it annuals or perennials?

[@JimPutnam]

Evergreen perennial

[@sterlgirlceline]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌿🌳💚

[@sharonparein8641]

Being in zone 5 any chance any of these would survive

[@JimPutnam]

The Carex and wild ginger and there are trilliums in your area as well. One issue with saying some of the native things are hardy is that you have different ones for the north than in the south.

[@judymckerrow6720]

I’m guessing all of the plants you’ve shown us are for a zone 7 plus?❄️💚🙃

[@JimPutnam]

Almost everything in this video is hardy at least in zone 6 and some much more

[@denko44]

Great selections of plants but 50$ shipping for 4"pots. Holy smokes man!!

[@LinusCello75]

1:39 Rohdea are not evergreen hostas. Deer don’t touch Rohdea.

[@JimPutnam]

Very true!
