Love Ms Jenny saying, "Be gracious/pronunciation police police !" Absolutely being more gracious is what is needed in our world today. Have a blessed day and rest of your week Ms Jenny and family... garden family too.

Wow! What a great video! Our newest home (Western NC) has two large EMPTY flower beds I’m dying to fill, and your unique choices are some things I would never have tried in my shade…but now can’t wait to get to the local garden spots to see what they have that I can sneak into the ground before it gets cold. Thank you!

I planted brunnera last fall & this spring I was amazed at those beautiful blue flowers. The leaves are gorgeous. TY for the video!

[katherinecornette]

Great options! Thank you for both shade & sun options and I always try to be gracious with plant names 😉Thank you!

Baptisia also lasts long in a vase. The plant is so big that you can cut some stems as a vase filler. It looks beautiful as a green/blue accent.

Hooray! I have every one of these plants and love them as much as you do❤ Love you too, Jenny😊

[lindamiller]

We do need to be gracious. Love your plant choices. Thanks for your videos.❤️

Love that the breeze in your lawn stopped for your recording. The trees don’t move either!!

I just put in about 100 daylilies (another 150 coming from my friends in the north come spring, 200 caladiums (I'm in 8b and will cover these when they die back with pine straw), 50 irises, a dozen more hostas, 4 warm weather tolerant peonies (I've got 78 acres - half sun, half shade, 2 creeks - one on a 30 ft ravine). Your Baptisia is gorgeous, Brunnera will be a great addition to go with the hostas and cyclamens. Going to try all your suggestions, except for the Jacob's Ladder since I'm in 8b (border of FL and GA. I can see GA from my driveway). I've got a couple trilliiums coming from Brecks - can't wait to see them as well as the Japanese Irises. Spreading some wildflower seeds in some of my ex-horse pastures, rye grass seed in those areas as well since they like that better than most of my plants and it's pretty.

Thanks for another informative plant video - we certainly could google things, but it's much more enjoyable to watch Jenny present her favorites with the beauty of Creekside in the backdrop. You all being the grower retailers are a go to source for all the good plants♥

Another favorite for me are primroses. I've had them poking up through the snow and they are so cheerful after a long winter. Mine are so happy they multiply and I've been able to spread them around. The variety of colors is gorgeous.

You are the sweetest and most knowledgeable and I really enjoy your videos. Just wanted you to know this! Thank you! 🥰

[trudlarellano]

Love that there's a fence between the nursery and the house.👍👍👍❤️

[ramonajolley]

I love your frankness!! Thank you for the plant ideas that I would never have thought of. I'm just getting back to worrying about my front garden. I veggie garden more. Have a great day!!

[MyBackyardScience]

These will be fabulous in the spring! 🙂

Happy to hear that the polemoniums have worked for you. I have been holding off waiting on your feedback, as I am also in zone 7B (north Georgia)

Hellabores are my favorite spring flower also.❤❤❤❤❤
