20 Shade Loving Plants

[@1Kent]

I've never seen such bright sunlight shade in my life.

[@raechelstones902]

I would say light shade, that's not shade

[@josephinebrevig8748]

A man with a spade on a mission….that power walk..love it.

[@Cpicky]

[@carmenbailey1560]

Your always a very busy guy, cutting back, moving or replacing plants. Love watching you bounce from one garden view to another. As always thanks for your entertaining video. 👍❤️😊

[@missmaryhdream6560]

Good morning to one and all, what beautiful weather we are having here. Bursting with sunshine ☀ and my little gardens going great. Glad being alive ♥️🌸🍏🍀

[@ademeyer]

I like how the cameraman says “hmmm” when John converses with him. Really, that fellow does a great job filming the peripatetic gardener.

[@islagrace5053]

Peripatetic gardener 😄😃

[@sammysworld5485]

Only JL can get away with messing up the plant names lol. Continue sharing your gardening passion. Love you.

[@lilwilliams7277]

John please do a slow tour of your garden sometime, borders looked lovely when you were racing through to find the spot 😀

[@EireFirst2024]

He should be on gardeners world.

[@laurenb6451]

No gardeners’ world has become too preachy and annoying. I cannot force myself to watch anymore.

[@EireFirst2024]

Ye he'd improve it NO END.

[@eleniathanasiadou1937]

Dear John, thank you so much once again! You help so much with all your advice! Kind regards, Lena from Greece.

[@karlsenula9495]

John says to the camera off ... but he knows fo keep it on ... now that's a good cameraman and a good connection and understanding of each other.

[@77sun222]

Thankyou - great walk through your garden.

[@kevingallagher4673]

Got Thalictrum aquilegifolium from a neighbor, a great show of flowers

[@dhenderson3007]

Hello from across the pond, so glad I stumbled on these videos! Beautiful gardens and plenty of inspiration! In New England, we share many of the same plants in our gardens. Looking forward to catching up on these over the winter! Now, back to argue with the mugwort.

[@carolinamoonslilenglishgar8580]

Yay you're back so missing your vlogs, I'm itching to see the prairie border 😊

[@ankabubanj5483]

The garden is amazing in full bloom... Think you should do videos more often... Have seen some beautiful roses in bloom... Can you do one just about roses all types... Thank you for sharing... Stay

[@wendychandler8304]

Hooray! Hydrangeas - I'm going daft over them, after years of ignorance and neglect of course. Mine are all in pots pro tem. but well fed and watered. I've awful problems with Pulmonarias - yet another one perished and I don't know why. Two are OK, cross fingers. Glad to see you today - we're frying, over here and I have to be indoors,; love your huge shady grounds.

[@hobbitlady7568]

That is a damn healthy garden

[@franssusan]

Wow! What a garden!

[@karenlojkutz9766]

thank you for your show

[@davidrevitt7470]

[@King_Alfred_849]

[@danutafecko198]

Uwielbiam twoje filmiki POZDRAWIAM Z POLSKI

[@snugglefunny]

This guy is a delight . Hooray :)

[@shewearswoolsocks2883]

Great tips for shade areas thank you! and your hydrangea's look beautiful, ( left a gate open and a couple of mine met up with a deer...) lol.

[@BionicRasta]

Monarda (Bee Balm) might also be able to tolerate shade, i know it can handle part shade. It likes moist soil. I have one of the powdery mildew resistanct types. Again a great source of nectar.

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

John is the best

[@anneczajkowski9759]

Brilliant. Come back soon please. Thanks

[@moustafaoussama9513]

you are the gardener paul sellers

[@meemo32086]

Yay!

[@AndrewOudin]

Nice! I’m a fan of Saxifragaceous plants, but for whatever reason I had overlooked Bergenia, having assumed they were smaller than they are. (Sometimes I wonder if I do this partially on purpose, to leave myself more to discover in the future.) Now I just need to get my hands on some Bergenias!

[@johnwaterman8884]

Margie waterman hi John you really have many hydrangea and active I have never heard of before. Do you get yournursery plants from Europe only. I live in the u.s. and in the ks. City is. Area. I enjoy your videos and your gardens are gorgeous.

[@johnwaterman8884]

Please for give my typo. I meant to say astilbe not active!

[@EireFirst2024]

Active astilbes are the best 😂

[@karlsenula9495]

I've got a BAD dry shade area under three large Tulip poplar trees, too ever greens, a couple of yews and surrounded by azaleas that drives me nuts because I can get little to nothing to grow under there .. even the pachysandras dry up under there. I even amend the soil with fall leaf compost every year for the past five years. It's my garden nightmare struggle area. My Hakonechloa All Gold dried up and I had to move it, my young hydrangeas got eaten by deer and rabbits as did my Acuba. Now trying rootings of brunnera, lamium, Lamiastrum and I might try that Bergenia Cordifolia of yours. Really need some mid story plantings .. maybe after the ground comes in.

[@BionicRasta]

You can get away with Leycesteria formosa (Pheasant Berry) in the shade, although part shade is ideal as its a woodland plant. Bees love it in summer & birds love it in winter, win win. I have a gold leaf variety that brightens up a north facing corner. Skimmia can tolerate shade altho it is very slow growing no matter where you plant it. St Johns Wort is another you might get away with in shade, thrives part shade. As for groundcover i have a campanula (not sure which type), a trailing variety might be from the Balkans. Self seeds & spreads alot but keeps the weeds at bay & isnt affected by powdery mildew, unlike Ajuga Reptans & some other groundcover plants. Geranium x oxonianum Claridge Druce, one of the few evergreen varieties with good disease resistance that will grow anywhere, again very weedy, will self seed around.

[@laurenb6451]

Dear John Lord, Thank you for another fun and informative video! What other plants would you yank the foliage off of when transplanting like the Bergenia? Is there an advantage of ripping vs using clippers? Thank you, hope the shoveling knee is doing OK. 🌱

[@deborahpellerito6117]

Love watching John Lord (hi Teddy)

[@rebeccabyrne]

Hello John 🌹😂😂😂🇨🇮

[@OldDave750]

Mr Lord great vid could you please get a better camera

[@maritahaase7923]

Chimifuga brunette?

[@ransomcoates546]

His couple of videos since his hiatus find him seeming much less energetic and animated. I hope he’s OK.

[@ademeyer]

Agree, he looks healthy though. I feel like we’re good friends, I’ve watched so many of these videos!

[@EireFirst2024]

That's coz he's rocking the Robert plant look ( pun was by accident)
