Love my tongue ferns. They breezed through the winter. Wouldn’t have tried them if not for Plant Delights.

[@threeriversforge1997]

Always good to see some natives getting mentioned. I really want to get some Green-and-Gold in the yard this year.

[@Plantdelights]

We are offering two varieties this year, Chrysogonum is an excellent groundcover for shade. www.plantdelights.com/collections/chrysogonum

How timely 😊 I was just considering replacing a dead evergreen shrub (zapped by Christmas blast) with perennials.

I have learned my Carex propagation timing the hard way lol Thanks for the video as always.

Very informative! Thank you!

wouldn't have expected veronica officinalis to pop up in the video. it's native here and i see it in the forest quite often

[@orchidgarden3124]

Can you do a video on what you have for zone 6a, Michigan?

[@Plantdelights]

We have many plants in the garden that are hardy in Zone 6a, but we tend to focus on Zone 7b for the local visitors to our garden. We always recommend visiting your local botanical garden to see what grows well in your zone. You can filter plants by your Zone on our website: www.plantdelights.com/collections/zone-6-plants

How can you grow bamboo without it spreading ?

[@sunitashastry5270]

In a pot or container of some kind!

[@Plantdelights]

Bamboo comes in two types: clumping and running. Clumping bamboos don't run.

[@lilyw.1788]

@@Plantdelights do you sell it ?

[@orchidgarden3124]

I love european wild ginger but it's very hard to find. Maybe because it's so slow growing?

[@Plantdelights]

I just checked and we should have Asarum europaeum in stock soon. Last time we offered them was 10 years ago, so yes, they are quite slow growing.

[@pamelaalley5691]
