Gopher apple is an insect favorite and it can bloom nearly non stop. The fruit is edible for humans but is a favorite of gopher tortoises. It spreads by rhizomes and can make nice low growing plant. It's a sandhill, scrub, pine rockland type plant so it needs full sun and sandy well draining soil.

Can i just say that I love watching you get excited when you go to these nurseries 😂

[MultitaskingNinjaMom]

You're my new yt bestie, lol. I've been learning so much from your videos! I even learn from the comments from other watcher friends.

I just moved to Bradenton from Seattle and your videos have been so helpful because, my oh my, do I have zero idea about anything that grows here and how to deal with any of it. Plus, you just seem like a super fun person, so thanks for the great videos!!

Yes, for the Simpson's Stopper! Love it for your garden. I'm growing fakahatchee and pink muhly grass in my yard. Also have the dwarf yaupon holly (shillings I've been told). That's where my black racers live.

I looked in the transcript of your video, that helped me find the plants/flowers you looked at and purchased, thank you so much! I enjoy your videos. We just purchased a half acre of land for our RV in Gilchrist County (near Bell Florida) and I’ll be planting a butterfly garden soon! Thank you for all of your tips!

Good morning
Great journey to follow on this blessed morning

[GrowinpeacewithBeedoh]

This was the best! I feel your struggle filling up your cart. 😂😂 Thank you so much for your channel!

Super fun video I learned so much from your shopping spree. Look forward to seeing the installation and final layout.

So inspired by your work--am looking to get my lawn gone also. I am down in SW Florida. So hot outside can only do about 4-5 hours a week on Sat and Sun right now

I have several Simpson's Stopper... well, technically the neighbor's but he doesn't trim them. They're planted more as a decorative hedge along a PVC fence. I did notice an abandoned bird nest the last time I trimmed them. It's mostly used as cover and concealment for the cats, raccoons and opossums who walk through.

I bought a native honeysuckle at little red wagon a couple years ago. It looks great in front of my air conditioner shroud. It's getting very big and I know it may outgrow its space because I live in a townhouse with an HOA and they will probably make me take it out. Wish I had a house I would fill the yard with natives.

I love shopping vicariously through you!! I'm moving in a month, so can't even start my usual fall garden. I'm in withdrawal, so this video was wonderful!

[itserikafiedler]

I typically hate window shopping but this was so much fun to watch 🤣 excited!!! Have you posted the update??

[BackyardFlorida]

You really know your native plants! Very informative. Little Red Wagon sold me a nice size Simpson Stopper. It was nearly 3 ft tall. I'm hoping it will bloom this year!
