Tour of 25 NATIVE PLANTS for Eastern USA

[@russbear31]

Great video. I always try to plant native whenever possible. More and more nurseries are becoming atuned to this (except the big box stores). I have several mom-and-pop greenhouses near me that specialize in native plants. The Dept. of Conservation in my state (Missouri) also makes it easy to buy native plants. They've operated a state nursery for more than 60 years and only sell native trees, shrubs, and other plants to the public. They're also super cheap. Trees are only a dime each/10 for a $1. They want the whole state filled with native plants.

[@plantvibrations]

Oh boy!! That’s an incredible service they provide!!

[@jdy1054]

Have you called or written them? If enough of us do, they will offer more natives and not sell Nandina which kills Cedar Waxwings, callers pear, pampas grass or any non native grasses which end up being invasive.

[@jdy1054]

Do you go there to pick them up or do they mail them out?

[@deborat8197]

Thanks for providing this content. Wonderful video. Will try to visit The Cuba Center and plant more native plants.

[@plantvibrations]

Yes you should, it’s a great garden

[@robinyasinow2789]

I love the enthusiasm in your voice!

[@plantvibrations]

These plants jazz me up!

[@sunitashastry5270]

Gloved your coverage of native plants. I learned about a few I was not aware of. That raspberry was new to me.

[@plantvibrations]

That Rubus is awesome!

[@leahdory]

This video is a joy. Thank you.

[@plantvibrations]

Thank you too!

[@williamdenton-qd3sn]

That was an excellent presentation and a great mix of the more uncommon varieties. It is great to see a younger person so interested and knowledgeable ,as a native plant specialist. I myself am a specialist also . The city of chicago knows my love of natives and how we incorporate them into our beds and native areas. I like elephant foot, big leaf aster and beautyberry to name a few.

[@plantvibrations]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the nice comments. I’ve been meaning to add a beautyberry to my garden, they’re so lovely

[@williamdenton-qd3sn]

They are and with snowberry and wahoo they are the dominant understory plants here.and yes the white red and black oaks are the main canopy with black walnut and shagbark hlckory thrown in.@@plantvibrations

[@eprohoda]

good evening, buddy- Omg-breathtaking sharing~see u around.=))

[@plantvibrations]

Thanks for watching!

[@kimim2702]

Wonderful video! I have been adding more and more native plants to my property in Northern Virginia since reading Doug Tallamy’s excellent book, “Bringing Nature Home.” I will definitely be adding some of the plants you highlighted here. Your knowledge and enthusiasm will help many others accept the importance of natives. Thank you!

[@plantvibrations]

Definitely recommend trying to visit mt cuba someday for more inspiration

[@MuckmouseFollies]

Love your enthusiasm. You might in the future mention that many cultivars are not as beneficial to pollinators.

[@plantvibrations]

Good point!

[@galations22o]

Love your enthusiasm!

[@plantvibrations]

😁😁😁

[@margaretchiodo-keller4495]

I very much enjoyed watching this video, and learned a thing or two. I grow in zone 6B, Lansdale, PA an hour from Philadelphia. This video gave me alot of useful information. Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you will continue to put up new videos centering in our our gardening zone.

[@plantvibrations]

Thank you!! You should go visit the Mt Cuba Center sometime, it’s incredible

[@gutplato]

Thanks for the great content! Love your real enthusiasm for natives. I learned about 2 plants that Ive never heard of.

[@plantvibrations]

I love hearing that!!

[@edrozenrozen9600]

That spigelia is amazing. I already have some coriopsis ( tickseed) and physostegia (obedient plant), and bee balm by my home, and I really want to add those. Thanks,!

[@plantvibrations]

Yes they are incredible! They do spread quite a bit just be aware!

[@awildapproach]

Absolutely fantastic video featuring Eastern North America native plants! What a delight! Thanks for sharing!

[@plantvibrations]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a blast filming

[@maggiecudic2744]

Great job! I am visiting in a couple of weeks, this video was very helpful.

[@plantvibrations]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tonihartung2221]

I enjoyed your video very much. I am a recent transplant from western Oregon (zone 7) to Minnesota (zone 4) so am re-learning my garden plants. I would love it if you included the Zone for each of the natives you have described. Great video!

[@plantvibrations]

I previously lived in Seattle so I understand that relearning process!

[@SueV-kz7hk]

Appreciate you speaking about alternative plants! Wish they were easily accessible at local nurseries.

[@plantvibrations]

I agree. They’re becoming slowly more accessible

[@RawwVeggies]

Thank you for sharing this info.

[@plantvibrations]

My pleasure!

[@rjyeezy76]

Sorry I’m late to the game, but I loved this video. You are a wonderful teacher, and your enthusiasm for plants is infectious. Lots of good info here. 💙🌿

[@plantvibrations]

I hope one day you can visit that garden, it is a special place!

[@rjyeezy76]

Thanks- I hope so too. I especially enjoy old well-established gardens.

[@KenG557]

Such beautiful native plants! I'm surprised you didn't include the gorgeous Heuchera, my favorite Virginia native plant.

[@plantvibrations]

I loooove heuchera! They got their own video all to themselves a few weeks ago

[@franosbornblaschke3694]

Thanks! Yay Delaware! Grew up near there! : )

[@plantvibrations]

Sweeeet

Wow what a beautiful place it is.. If you need some pure oxygen it is a perfect place for this.. 😌😌😌😍😍

[@plantvibrations]

Absolutely!!

[@j.d.4246]

Devin, thank you for this video! I was walking through my woods tonight and was able to spot and identify May Apples. I never wouldve known about these had it not been for you. Im moving some to my shade gardens and will make sure they continue and thrive!

[@plantvibrations]

Wonderful! Love the mayapples!

[@1MrSpooky]

Really learned a lot! Another great video!! :)

Thanks for the tour very interesting plants.

[@plantvibrations]

ThNks for watching!

[@jeffreyrossi5084]

Very serious subject I wish it were taken more seriously throughout the country. What took hundreds of thousands of years to happen we can wipe out in a day. Keep up your positive way of encouraging people to use natives in their areas.

[@plantvibrations]

Native plants just do better and look more natural in their home setting!

[@adamlovesgod1187]

Amazing video Such a beautiful place thank you for sharing. Take care and God Bless

[@plantvibrations]

Thanks for warching!

[@cgpcgp3239]

I bought some wild ginger to plant once. I think at a plant sale at Bartram. Gardens. I didn't know how to plant it or take care of it. But tastes great.

[@plantvibrations]

its an excellent plant!

[@rosemarybushea3517]

Great tour and information! It's wonderful to see your passion for plants!

[@plantvibrations]

Thanks so much!

[@BBQNBLUES]

*EXCELLANT* video Devin ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Was this a Master Gardner Class? as you know, I encourage everyone to plant "Beautyberries" ps. the Magnolias are in full bloom at the moment.. my entire yard smells like Lemonade :)

[@plantvibrations]

Omg I need to add a magnolia to our garden, I love their blooms so much

[@grannyplants1764]

@@plantvibrations oh yes, especially Magnolia grandiflora, huge white dinner plate size blooms, and a Magnolia stellata, whose lovely bloom smell like lemons! 🌱

[@grannyplants1764]

My bad, just got to you highlighting the grandiflora !

[@keyologyrealty1883]

Very well done. Bravo!

[@plantvibrations]

Thank you very much!

[@tanvigawde1612]

What a wealth of information you are imparting!! Truly invaluable!! Just getting into gardening and I definitely want to plant more natives. I’m in Kansas, zone 6a. Would a majority of them perform well in my area? Your love for plants is contagious!! Keep up the great work!! Outstanding channel!

[@plantvibrations]

Hi! Thanks for watching! My best recommendation would be to find some local botanical gardens and see what they’ve got growing that is native to your area. As you are west of the Mississippi, a lot of factors are different in your region

[@tanvigawde1612]

@@plantvibrations thank you! Definitely will do!! Emailed the county native gardening association and they emailed with lots of resources!! Can’t wait to get planting :)

[@liongirl1978]

I really enjoyed this video of native plants!!! I would like to know where I might find plants that are native to Ohio! I do have some beautiful trillium plants that bloom in the spring. I've Watched them increase in numbers over47 years and thoroughly enjoy them as their blooms go from white to pink and then to a dark lilac color! They aren't ready to start blooming just yet but I will post a photo to you when they bloom. Thanks for all of your wonderful advice on how to take care of the plants we love so much!!! Well done Devin!!!

[@plantvibrations]

Hi! My best advice would be to visit a local arboretum and ask if/when they have plant sales. Many do. Or search online to buy native plants in your region!

[@patriciagarner2732]

Very interesting. Great video.

[@plantvibrations]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@giardinodialberi8751]

A video by Overdevest Nurseries said the Spigelia marilandica is slow to establish when propagated by seed; but when its cultivars are propagated vegetatively, Spigelia marilandica 'Little Redhead' and S. m. 'Ragin' Cajun' will establish more quickly. The latter features a red-orange tube rather than the red tube. Tony Avent (Plant Delights Nursery in NC) found it in Louisiana and then Walters Gardens developed it. Some retail garden centers, especially in the mid-Atlantic states, can order plants from BOTH Walters (bare root) AND Overdevest (one gallon landscape ready plants).

[@plantvibrations]

Very interesting!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 love plant delights!

[@deniseb2571]

I'll have to research if any of these are native in my CT zone 6. Great info thanks!

[@plantvibrations]

I think many will be!

[@erikm8372]

Great video. I do love those asarum too. I’m in coastal San Diego, zone 10b (bordering on 11), five minutes’ walk to the ocean; so while we’re blessed to have tropical plants outside year-round, I still love exploring the aroids from hardiness zones BELOW 10 or 11! Heart-shaped leaves… dead giveaway usually… it’s an aroid! Plus the name says it all; “as-ARUM”, like titan arum, green arrow arum, etc. Hehe, I’m just geeking out, my mind is just blown the more aroids I discover. Same with Piperaceae, and especially Apocynaceae (milkweed, hoya, plumeria, jasmine, etc.) Seems that there are quite a few temperate and native aroids to the eastern/SE US. Besides the heart leaves, the spathe “bloom” shape is consistent across the family Araceae. Basically they look like weird corncobs! And on monstera, it’s a edible when ripe. Same with Thaumatophyllum bipinnafidense (selloum philodendron)… Peace lily, calla, zantedeschia, monstera, philodendron, alocasia, taro, anthurium, etc. Corncobs with heart leaves. Haha. 🌱🪴🌽

[@plantvibrations]

haha love your enthusiasm! you are truly a plant lover! thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge

[@marcellacoblentz8433]

Loved this. Do you have a really good ordering source for these plants?

[@plantvibrations]

Yes I do, my family are growers! So we have access to lots of great stuff

[@glasslady8938]

Thanks for making this informative video. It sounds like there is a series of these videos related to your course, but I can’t find them on your channel. Do you have a playlist for the series?

[@plantvibrations]

I need to make a better format for my playlists, thanks for reminding me! Here is another natives video: 40 Native Perennial Plants - Eastern North America Gardens kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZjPmGWQdsaXpNE

Black Cohosh is Bumblebee candy. Insane how they are on it and I’ve not noticed a foul smell at all.

[@plantvibrations]

I need to plant some in my shade garden

[@dankeener3307]

I’ve struggled getting spigelia marylandica to grow on our property. What conditions do they like? Great video. Cool haircut!

[@plantvibrations]

They really tend to do well in the dappled shade area where they don't have too hot and dry of conditions

[@gardenfunwithpaulie]

Awesome. What course are you doing? I would love to learn in Georgia 🙏

[@plantvibrations]

It’s a course at mt cuba center Delaware

[@gardenfunwithpaulie]

@@plantvibrations is there a name for the type of course you took ? I can try to find one similar here? Thanks
