[mayarada]

I absolutely love Begonia’s plants every summer to autumn time, and again enjoy watching this video bcoz it does help by giving me more idea .

[gaildavidson]

It would be very helpful to mention the zones for your selections.

[janpeterson]

Thanks so much! This was exactly what I needed to find plants for my shady, shady area. Can’t wait to get to the nursery!

[nope]

I wish I could save this video into a playlist for myself. Is there a setting you can enable?

[goshmargo]

Thank you! Good information. I’m in Sacramento and dry shade is my challenge!

[CrowMeris]

Dead nettles (Lamiums) are very attractive. They are also invasive non-natives, originating in Eurasia.

[ingridveilleux]

Just the video I was looking for. Do you happen to know the name of the variegated Hosta you showed? I like your avoidance of certain common names.

[foreverbloomswithjennifer]

hey there maria! this video is great! you should add hellebores to this list! ❤️🌿 I love the selection you guys have this year. I already bought one last week.

[constancefaddis]

Deer! Deer destroyed my hostas in Dr shade. It’s a long bed. Suggestions please?

[brinkman]

i just bought a bunch of plants for my low maintenance/dry shade area and almost all of them are on this list. i'm feeling pretty ashured right now.

I have a variegated Lamium which is very nice but something is eating holes in the leaves.

[susanlockert-kienitz]

I sure would like to know the plants that are invasive…

[maxgonzalez]
