Autumn joy sedum is called "Wounded warrior" in my language and is famous for healing properties. I have it for many, many years.

I’m so excited that you mentioned Mums. I’m a newer gardener. I bought some at Home Depot that were already bloomed out for $3.00 when they were sold for $30.00. I bought 9 of them. I took them home trimmed them and planted them to just be something green in a new flowerbed that had nothing in it. They survived my Idaho Winter and have come back beautifully every year for me. I love that I have sweet nice sized green mounds to plant around that I can depend on. I also love that at the end of the season I get a beautiful flower show from them. I never knew if what I did was right or wrong because everyone treats them as a throw away flower. It’s nice to see them get a mention somewhere. :)

One year I had too many divisions of sedum and I laid it under a lilac. It bloomed there on top of the ground for 3 years before I found it a home. Bulletproof indeed

I love growing zinnias. They’re simple to plant and they can be trimmed for vases. And a new bloom grows back fast.

I like gaillardia. It is the toughest thing in my garden, and blooms all summer. Drought resistant, and very pretty. You have to deadhead, but it is worth it.

[barbarawilliams]

wow!! my garden has most of these. Shasta daisies, Echinacea, Autumn joy sedum, lavendar creeping flox. These all perform awesome. very low maintenance but great impact!!

[theresaodwyer]

Mrs. Huff Lantana is also a spectacular plant. Reliable, drought tolerant, deer resistant and fragrant. Love your design. You're an inspiration!

My favorite most die hard and beautiful plant is orange cosmos. It is an annual, however it reseeds and spreads. Likes crappy soil, heat, humidity and I never water it. Absolutely gorgeous too.

Thank you for remembering beginner and mid range gardners. Always find your content helpful! Appreciate you.

I can confirm the endorsement of each of these fantastic plants. I had all of them in my Pacific NW garden, and they did spectacularly—providing a consistent structure for my perennial gardens. In our wet climate, we had to take extra care with sedum autumn joy though because they do not like wet feet. Once they were situated in the right spot, they flourished and provided great shape and blooms when most else was spent in mid-Fall.

You are so right. I have literally thinned my flower beds threw the discards in a pile and the next year they grew there.

HAPPY to let you Know Linda that Yesterday Evening we had Our First Monsoon with Hail Here in New Mexico, even Happier that All the Plants SURVIVED.

I am planning a pollinator garden for next year and most all of these are included. Thanks for solidifying my choices for me.

This video is just what the gardener ordered! 💘 it.

[MAMaha]

So gorgeous! I was hoping you’d talk about the huge alliums that you have - what kind are those? Globe master or gladiator?

[seachange]

Liked that you highlighted some natives! Your yard looks very nice. A few years back I stopped buying non-natives and hybrids. Dedicated to only plant native trees, scrubs and ephemerals. I've taken out old honeysuckle hedges and replaced with redbud trees and fringe trees. Zone 5b woodland prairie.

I'd love for you to share and show how you dry flowers. I never have luck. Love your beautiful garden. By the way, I've been watching QVC for years. ❤
