I think I learned more from her than I could have doing my own research.

[@alvinbiggsjr8351]

Lol. KZbin is research. IMO

[@Kyautumnlovr]

Agreed. I 💘 her videos love her IDEAS. I love rhe softer grasses. Not ones that cut my hands. In 🔥 UTAH grasses that don't take much water are heavenly !!

This is the first of your videos that I ever watched in July 2023, it was so helpful, I love grasses but hadn't "discovered" them yet. Now that I'm creating a new landscape I want to plant a fair amount of perennial grasses and many more things that I'm learning about on your channel. I watch your videos everyday now and learn so much ❣

[@joyces.9021]

The way you describe these grasses is so poetic, Laura! Love the way your passion for these plants comes across in your words!

[@genevapriest6190]

It is her"real world knowledge that comes theough as she explains.their real gardening with their experences!

[@remmer7010]

I was thinking the same thing. She’s like the Steve Irwin of plants

[@sonyaweinreis3658]

She's just awesome 👍

[@connieharris5017]

I love listening to Laura talk about plant's and flower. She really motivates me to get back out in my flower beds Thanks so much Laura ! 🤗

[@Robinicat]

Yes, Laura expresses herself so well; a key factor in her popularity....besides her vast knowledge of plants.

[@stephsmith311]

My 10 year old son, Hunter, very much enjoys watching your videos and learning all he can about plants, trees, flowers etc... so much so that he has started his own channel, Hunter's Horticulture. He knows more about plants, trees, etc than I have ever known. If you could give a shout out to him I know he would absolutely LOVE it. Thanks and he will be watching!

[@jessicabuben9353]

This is amazing information. Also, I met you about this time last year at the Southern Home and Garden Show and my 4 year old just said, "You sure watch this a lot... Remember when we met the REAL Laura at the flower show just like the Laura on the computer?" LOL

[@jessicabuben9353]

I forgot to say, adding Miscanthus Cabaret to my list! Thanks so much for all of this inspiration and information!

[@docmarmalade5224]

Ok, that is just tOo cute

[@jessicabuben9353]

@@docmarmalade5224 I know, right?! It made me laugh out loud. We all loved meeting the "real" Laura!

[@verawallace9055]

Smart four years old, lol

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I’m planning on planting our entire front yard with grasses and perennials like coneflowers, etc. no more grass! Yay!

[@JulieNedumgottil]

I can watch you all day 😂 love your enthusiasm and all the great detail on each grass type! Looking to redo our landscaping this year so thanks for all the great tips!!

[@Eshamichelle]

OMG! Thank you sooooo much. I asked for a video on Ornamental Grasses in the comments under one of your other videos during the summer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

[@Candylandavenue1]

I love all ornamental grasses. I especially love miscanthus & pennisetums. I love the way they dance in the wind & just flow well with any other plants around them. My goodness I’ve got summer fever now! Lol. I can’t wait.

[@lisafehr]

Thank you!!! This was exactly what I was looking for!😍 I’ve been researching on creating a grass hedge around my garden and there was so much overwhelming information, this was all in one place and all the information I needed! So much easier than tracking down all the info on google! Thank you!

[@marypalmer2088]

I love grasses! They are just beautiful with a little breeze they look ethereal. Wonderful options that I never thought about so thank you!

[@christinetrewin9717]

I finally have a garden where grasses will grow well so I’m happy to try some of these beautiful ones❤️🌞

[@deannededemariehampton768]

Thank you so much Laura for talking about grasses. I love them too. I'm hoping the one big one I have comes back, I'm anxiously waiting. I plan on getting some of the ones for zone 9b that you talked about. Tyfs

[@sallyhenry1716]

Enjoyed learning about all these grasses! I love the hair style your sporting in plant #5 very retro❤️

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Love all the grasses that you featured!!!! I will add them to my collection!!! You are so right about the ornamental grasses adding to the landscape year round & they do bring a sense of peace!!!! I do love my ornamental grasses that I do have in my landscape!!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all!!!! 🥰😍❤🐈🌾🌾🌾🥰

[@calissakennedy9497]

I loved this , thank you! One grass I love is my lemon grass. I have it in my containers and love the height, color and texture it gives. And of course, my cats love it and so do I. 💕

[@frankieroberson3398]

All I have to say is that Garden Answers because I love how she is always utilizing planters and taking them to the limit; and creating beautiful masterpieces; who thought about putting ornamental grasses into containers; seems like they have the perfect height perfect for any entrance, porch, backyard doorways; just all around perfect in containers in order t contain them unless your cultivating developing land; then hell why not grow it everywhere but for now Containers it is; got it; thank you so much; I might not be from South Africa but I am from Motown; and has been following you prior to Benjamin; we love Benjamin; thank yoiu so much!!!

[@raelenemj8297]

Omg I was just looking up grasses for my front yard for my area, so awesome and I already have one type in the front of our house and I absolutely love the texture and seeing it blow in the wind.

[@kelliejackson6633]

Hi Laura, another Miscanthus that is beautiful is Morning Light.I have this one and it's my favorite grass. It does hold up in our Michigan winters unless we get a super wet snow but when that melts away it bounces back up. I'm going to get your Cabaret to try as it's a beauty too. The Karley Rose is spectacular as well. There's also a Bunny Tail that's just a shorter version of the Karley rose that's super cute. So many grasses to choose from.😊

[@gus8142]

Howdy y'all🙋 thanks for all the info!!! Now I know which grasses to put in my garden🌾🌾🌾🤓Have a blessed day🙏Happy Valentines Day💖

[@valeriestrickler6902]

Happy Valentine's day to you too!

[@lifesuchasthis3932]

I always wanted to plant grasses you've encouraged me to do that this Spring

[@ryfry3562]

I was literally thinking the other day that I was hoping you would do a video featuring grasses! Now I just need a video on roses. AND double sided garden beds. That one is stumping me too. Happy Valentine's Day!

[@melissakurtz4528]

Oh yes double sided garden beds would be great!!

[@etrowbridge1014]

Agreed I need a double sided garden bed!

[@amandascivicque5503]

I would love to see one on roses and double sided garden beds also!

She has one on Roses , different varieties, it's on her you tube video too

[@kierstentaub6805]

LOVE these kinds of plants and "the best" ones...makes decision process easier!!! Thank you!

[@melissakurtz4528]

Omgoodness Laura fantastic video. I am loving these top grass, perennial, annual, tree etc video. You are my gardening Yoda! Just brilliant, thank you :)

[@janaangus]

YAAAA my wish came true. This topic was a hopeful wish. Also glad you mentioned your grass from your previous house. I still watch that video for inspiration! Thank you once again for an amazing video!

[@jessicamoran8962]

Great video! I've really enjoyed the plant list videos (grasses/blue flower/etc.). I wanted this one at least three times to study them all. Then, I wrote down the information on the ones I liked and did research on how they perform in my area.

[@DDMarla]

Love this! Thanks for sharing your favorite grasses. I love them as well and would love to have more. They always make my beds look better.

[@lukesmith2725]

Thank you! So informative. I actually took notes. Just what I wanted. I love purple fountain grass but I am tired of planting it every year and need a perennial I can fall in love with. Thanks

[@lynnetteg7590]

I would love to see a video about plants that tolerate or even thrive in wet spots in the garden.

[@nobakecheezcake]

Astilbe has done well for me 🙃

[@rpontex]

This is the kind of video I love! Perennial, shrubs, grasses or flowers. More of these, please!,

[@suzanneb5229]

Great video, I love grasses they are beautiful all year. Mine have snow on them and they add such gorgeous interest in the winter. Taking notes while watching the video, love that you provide so much information so I pick the correct one in the spaces I have. Happy Valentine's Day!

[@barbll000]

I planted annual grasses last year and I did watch like you mentioned how they sway in the wind. It's very relaxing.

[@jmac4313]

Being inspired by you, and with an afternoon dappled shade and morning sun bed, I combined "elephant ear" hosta, "all gold" grass, "forever purple" heucheras, "bobo" hydrangeas, and miscanthus purpurascens. I love the colour and texture variations. It's gorgeous.

[@nef4588]

As a huge fan who happens to live in one of those warmer zones, 10b here, I find that while I can't run out and grow everything you come across, I have found different varieties of the same thing perfect for my climate. Some plants I would have never thought to survive the rainy season have done wonderfully. Also I had to learn my veggie growing season is in the winter, and throughout. More than anything it taught me to learn about my growing area more. That is your inspiration to me, and I'm so grateful

[@MD062010]

this was exactly the video i needed to help me decide on some ornamental grasses! I cannot thank you enough for all of your videos- they're so extremely helpful! Gardening is certainly a trial and error hobby, however, you have saved me so much time and money with your great videos! thank you!

[@kellen.myrights1085]

Your information is so great and I love the way you put all this together for us in the videos. So professional and informative. And your landscaping is amazing. Thank you so much.

I love ornamental grasses. They add such lovely movement all year long.

[@NormaRodriguez-ed8bk]

Hello beautiful thank you 🙏 now I can go shopping for grasses 🌾

[@annryals7285]

Thank you for this informative video. You helped me see grasses in a whole new light. Didn't really care for them till now. Now I'm beginning to think about where I can plant some.

[@lindabeebe7065]

Your channel is such a godsend! The tags that come with any plant at a garden center or market have less and less helpful information on them. I really need to know how long things bloom for and such. You are the end all and be all for all of that! Your info on pruning and what to do throughout the season is just priceless to me. Thank you so much!

[@cindysnow643]

Love all your videos. You get me so excited to go outside and play! I love that you list the plants in the description however I would suggest you time stamp them too so they’d be easier to go back to the ones I love when done with the whole video❣️

[@katebeckman2973]

Love this video! Grasses are my favorites! I'm in inland Southern California & it's hot & dry. I hand water everything, unfortunately. I replaced my lawn with waterwise & Calif natives. I have all kinds of plants there, but at least half are grasses. My very favorite is Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass - bouteloua grasilis. It looks like it will grow in your area. The seed heads are amazing. They look like little eyelashes - & dance merrily in a slight breeze. Beautiful planted in a patch of 5 or more. Top of my grasses list for sure. XOXO

[@CoraBlu080605]

Great video. Thank you. I can attest to the fall color and winter interest of the grasses especially the Carex. They turn a bright yellowish burnt orange.

[@lindaplatt2008]

[@lindahandley5267]

I'm having a landscaper come in September and I'm choosing ornamental grasses. They're my all-time favorite, with so many varieties. I only have a zebra plant and one that's has a purple hue and beautiful 'feathers' on them. Like you said, I love their movement in the wind and they're calming and interesting looking.

[@leahgallo3847]

So many amazing grasses! You mentioned towards the end of the video how your previous home had soil that held on to moisture more. I would love it if you could expand on that and talk about the soil you have now vs what you had before

[@MarilenaVazquez]

Wow on the snow. We got plenty in the Chicago area. Thanks Laura and Aaron for these wonderful videos. You inspire me.

[@civitahochreiter7549]

Your videos are so wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to teach us about different plant life. Love this grasses video! I live in a town home and would like some privacy but don’t really want to fence in my patio. Grasses would be a great solution.

[@willothewispl]

Grasses are do soothing and lovely.

[@claudiaceleste777]

I love, love , love fountain grasses, I have planted both the green and purple versions around my garden- they just whisper hushhhh to me. In my previous garden I would simply burn them back with a hose handy ready to stop the flames within a minute or so after lighting them, and they grew back beautifully every year. Can’t do it anymore but it definitely helped with the cleanup too! (I’m in a zone 9 area).

Thanks again for another great video. Haven't given much thought to grasses but this made me think of when I drove trucks and went through prairie states hoe large fields of grass looked with a breeze, a bit like ocean waves. Well done.

I'm in southern Maine. I love the All Gold and the Carex "ice dance". I did just plant them last year and they came through our sparse winter swimmingly. I think they would be much happier with more poor man's mulch (snow) than we actually had. I did wait to cut them back in the spring. Highly recommended.

[@mrbubba81]

Soooo glad you did this! I didn't realize I had so many options when it comes to grasses that are perennials! QUESTION-- I realize it's just an annual for you, but what are your overall thoughts on that black pennisetum (Vertigo) you've planted? Here in Oklahoma (I'm a 7-8), some local garden centers are trying to push it as a perennial. Thanks so much!
