Laura has such a natural conversational style of talking to the camera. She’s so easy to listen to! And she’s so well versed on all the gardening information she’s talking about. What an awesome combination!!! You go girl!!!

As a one time CA resident I adore Bougainvillea. When we moved to Oregon (zone 9) I thought, that's it, no more Boug; too rainy cloudy. But I have managed to keep my (2+ year) gorgeous plant alive by wintering it over inside next to a west facing window. Now I've taken the huge step of transplanting it to in ground on the west side where it sees A LOT of direct sun. BTW, in case you think it's never hot in OR, think again. We are mid Apr 2020 right now and soon we'll be seeing 100+ degree days continuously.

I’ve had a retail garden center for 25 years and you just picked our top 5 planet that are returned because in the transplanting process people tend to tear apart the roots and not water enough the first week or two

We here in France, in the countryside of Paris, have just lived through 2 severe heat waves within weeks of each other. During this last one, we had the hottest day in recorded history here. It was sweltering! And our gardens sure suffered! Th you for these tips for next year.

I was in the wanting to purchase a particular blue flower and was told that as soon as they go on the display trays  they are gone, so was encouraged to purchase a balloon flower, planted it then as one does forgot about it till this year, when whilst weeding saw a plant emerging with a purple stem thinking this can not be a weed “What is it” so let I grow glad I did as it developed into loads of blue Balloon Flowers and what a show (Some weeds do have purple stems, I’ve since found out )

I love your style. Explain a lot in short time. Always mention too much water can cause issues and saying drought tolerant and easy care.

Thank you for sharing! Love gardening and love learning about plants that attract pollinators and that are perennials!!!

Hyssop is a great, Summer perennial. Profuse blooms, withstands drought, and cut it back for another bloom.

Thank you Laura for the tips! I just got some Lavender today and it's looking really nice!

I’ve been watching your channel for a few months now and was just thinking I needed to ask you about these sun loving perennials. I live in zone 5b in the hills of Western Massachusetts and we are at the top of a wooded mountain. Our front yard gets sooo hot and burns everything to a crisp except for lilies. I’m so excited to see this because I haven’t tried these 5 perennials yet...now I know and can’t wait to try them out hopefully this year if available but definitely next year! Thank you!

Flowers are my joy! I’ve always been into annuals but the last several years in getting into perennials big time.. I think getting older has a little something to do with it.. 😂. I just don’t have the same umphh so I’m planting more perennials but still filling in with beautiful annuals !!

I am a new homeowner with only a couple seasons of gardening under my belt here in Boise, Idaho. I'm trying to do a LOT on a small budget. These videos get my imagination running! Was pleased to see I have at least one of almost every perennial on this list :)

Denim and lace sage 💜! One of our favorite saw it last year when Laura planted it and we just fell in love and designed our front bed based on it. It has not stopped blooming since spring! It’s in front of David Austin’s roses and underneath Bourdeux and Alyssum while with the bad weather of heat and so much water others had taken a toll not this sage it’s thriving and makes everything look so beautiful. Every single one of these plants are a must.💚💚💚💚💚💚
