[@cbvickers4044]

Thank you for producing this video! I'm keeping it for future reference.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cindypieterick9939]

Thank you so much! I was looking to add drought resistant flowering plants to my small yard. Knowing which are not desired by deer and bunnies is super helpful!

This is the best video on the topic! Thank you!!!🐝

Good to know! ❤

Thank you! Watering in my town is getting expensive and I love my blooms❤

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

You can get big drums to collect rain. I have well water so that's what I do.

[@bridgetjones8339]

@@RunninUpThatHillh it’s against city ordinance, but I’m still thinking of trying it

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

@@bridgetjones8339 Can you hide it in your yard somewhere? It'd be hilarious if you called it something else LOL Like plant sunflowers all around it and say you're using it to hold up your plants. Not your fault it collects water.

[@Patriot1459J]

​@bridgetjones8339 Wow that's sad at how you can't even collect rain water.

I just planted about 50 brown eyed susand and cone flowers, my friend says they dont 'need irrigation system, but I think irrigation can only help. They were planted in 6" of compost on top of rock hard red clay in zone 8a Charlotte, NC.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Irrigation is definitely helpful for plants that have yet to be established.

[@Patriot1459J]

@southbrigeforest7141 Also get some Denver Daisies. They are also from the "Black Eyed Susan Family" Cone Flowers are by far my favorite Flower. Good Luck

[@seamus6994]

Great video...... Thank you!!!

[@LCLand]

Bougainvillea has sword sharp long thorns. Careful where you plant

[@Patriot1459J]

Russian Sage is some what invassive. I love the dwarf varieties as they are not invasive like the original Russian Sage.

[@Decore2-pk6vb]

Very nice ❤

[@26alexther]

So many to choose from. Thank you.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Happy planting!

[@bornenit309]

Amazing video, really informative and lovely choices of plants. Please could I ask how these plants do during a cold wet winter? We have very hot summers and very wet and cold winters..

[@Gardeningknowhow]

That's an excellent question! While many of the plants mentioned in the video can withstand cold winters, they may not fare as well in consistently wet conditions. Often, the decline of plants that prefer dry soils is due to soil that remains excessively wet during the winter months. If your area has good drainage, these plants should thrive.

Where's the link to the list of plants that are highlighted in the video?

Both trumpet vine and wisteria are “highly invasive” and will take over the garden, climb trees, kill everything in its path. I have a wisteria vine that I unwittingly trained on an old extremely sturdy (they don’t make them like they used to) flag pole and it grew all the way to the top, bent the steel pole over near the top and then headed for a maple tree within reach. We had to saw the whole pole down and the wisteria with it before it climbed into the tree top and took it over. We’re in the Midwest and we have bad winters. This vine took a beating and literally 20 years later we still fight to keep it contained and shorn down to size. That means we trim it summer and fall every single year or else it runs amuck all over the yard. Trumpet vines are no better. Both vines throw out roots that travel under ground and pop up new plants off those all over your yard. I have to regularly mow them down or they’ll shoot up like the big ones.

[@joannc147]

THANK YOU! Wisteria is to be avoided….both Chinese and Japanese varieties. This horror show should not have been included on this list! 😱

[@LMLewis]

What do you suggest for dry shade?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

We're happy to help with suggestions. I have quite a bit of dry shade myself. What growing area do you reside in?

[@linaanaya9612]

Will these plants work in tu son, Az?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Yes, many of the plants listed will grow in zone 9. Refer to the chapter list in the description for appropriate zones of each individual plant.

[@linaanaya9612]

Thank you, so much for your quick response..I love the plants.

[@karengreene4476]

I planted milkweed near my vegetable garden and have regretted it ever since! If I had known how invasive this plant is it would never have seen the light of day in my garden. It comes up everywhere now!! How do I get rid of it?

[@KHH595]

Oh wow. I can’t keep enough milkweed in stock for all the Monarch caterpillars who gobble it up in Florida. It never matures enough to go to seed, the caterpillars eat it down to nubs.

[@rnguyen2516]

Would these do well in clay soil?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Heavy clay soils are not ideal for these plants but I have successfully grown many of them in my Ohio garden which is very heavy clay.

[@rnguyen2516]

@@Gardeningknowhow thank you! I was wondering, what do you amend your soil with?

[@Gardeningknowhow]

I often use a combination of peat moss and a bit of compost to help break up the clay.

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

Same here! I have clay. I throw leaves on it every fall and turn it in the spring. I have Echinacea, yarrow, beebalm...and a few others that grow perfectly fine. I'm in northern NY.

[@031119694]

Very helpful video…thank you

[@CS-nn8zu]

plant russian sage if you want a non stop bee party. My plant is more bee than plant.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Yes! It is definitely a bee favorite.

[@Siouxscify]

I could not find a printable list. I ended up saving the website as a pdf and copying that into a word document. You should make it easier for those who are not as techy as I am.

Всё хорошо, это просто другое поколение, молодёжь❤ Для них получить готовый документ так же нормально, как раньше было сделать конспект😊 Спасибо автору видео и всем, кто делится своими идеями! Привет из Латвии!🙂

[@kaleidoscope_adventures]

​@@someguy5927 she literally says there is a list but no one can find it myself included. That's a failure on her part and should be addressed/corrected.

[@gigisdiamonds]

A word warning, crumpet vines are very invasive‼️😳👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼They will root themselves throughout your yard and they seek the sun so if you plan them on your side of the fence and you’re not getting enough sun, they will go to the neighbors side of the fence to seek the sun so all your work Will be beneficial to your neighbors and it is such a strong vine. It will pop your sturdy wooden fences apart. It’s a disaster if you love it planet far away so that it doesn’t damage anything and it’s a very Sturdy vine, so that it is hard to go clip it and fight it. And it draws ants and bees.

[@dorotaazzopardi8718]

Two of my nepeta plants died on the dry slope and only one survived.😮

[@Nopeville]

Please Google the plans before planting if you have any cats or dogs as half of these plants are Toxic to Cats and/or Dogs and some to humans. For instance: Common yarrow is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Consumption can cause vomiting and diarrhea as well as depression, anorexia, and hypersalivation. In humans, touching a yarrow can, in rare cases, cause skin rashes and increase the skin's photosensitivity. Blanket Flowers are slightly Toxic to humans and alliums are from the same plant family as onions which are all toxic to dogs and cats.
