Where do you find seed for this?

I have seen this ground cover growing wild in So-Cal parkways. How is Phyla nordifolia related or not with kurapia utility groundcover ? Great video , lots or great information. Thank you...🙏

I'm in No. Calif. and see 2 of the 3 butterflies you show. I do gardening for others and first saw it in the back yard of an old neighborhood. It was on compact soil and indeed walked on. It was therefore smallish but definitely a survivor, living at the whims of the seasons. Going on a search, discovered the name to be lippia. Now, I would love to find flats of it to plant in a client's back yard. Going to contact our local native plant nursery to see if they will do that. I think perhaps Annie's nursery in the East Bay may have it.

Very interesting info about the tail pumping. Thanks for featuring the phoebe and some fun info about them...one of my very favorite birds.

Informative video! Thank you

Great video! I encourage everyone who loves hummingbirds to look up “Rides speciosum /espalier-trained “. When trained against a wall, they take up much less space and they look amazing! My favorite hummingbird flower is San Miguel savory. I used to grow them in hanging pots. They would cascade down about 5’ and were covered head to toe with tiny white flowers. They looked beautiful and my hummers loved them!

great video. Learned a lot.

Wonderful video. Thanks!

Hell ya

Awesome

I get all my plants from Las Pilitas nursery. They mail the plants to my door. The founder of that nursery has done California natives a great favor by establishing the website. I was so delighted when a hummingbird took over an epilobium. I wish I’d known to grow native plants instead of buying no-smell foreign stuff. This is such a good video.

How do you grow them from seed.

im not sure if it was there prior to moving, was planted after, or carried over by something, but the south side of my mothers house is carpeted with phyla nodiflora and its so much more appealing than the sections of regular turf lawn on the east and west sides. theres always insects flying around for the flowers, where as the lawns are devoid of life. and even if its not truly native to socal, its much better than the invasive grasses that have to be weeded out constantly, and dont feel the wildlife

Thanks so much for the informative video, Garden Sprite. This grows natively in the yard and I love now knowing what i can do to help it thrive. Love this plant! Right now the flowers are getting to that rusty red color and I'm now looking into how to harvest and process into flour.

Thank youuuuuuuuu

I have the hardy varieties of Epilobium canum in my northern Nevada garden. They are by far the best hummingbird plant in the garden and I have several. Their bloom time is late July through September, which corresponds exactly with the southward migration of the Rufous Hummingbird in my area.

"Hey, it's Buckwheat! Hi Buckwheat!!" "Here I is!"

Thanks for mentioning the hookers evening primrose, it does like to spread its seed. But, not only do hummingbirds love it, the lesser goldfinches swarm it, eating the abundant seeds.

Thank you for such fantastic information! I live in San Diego County and we see these guys in our yard all the time. There’s one cutie that has been living here for months. He shows up everyday without fail at 5pm and perches on top of a chain that our porch light hangs from. He stays for hours in this spot but is always gone by morning. We didn’t know if this was normal behavior for these birds…we aren’t complaining lol cause he’s the sweetest little fluff ball! I just adore him and I appreciate learning more info! Thank you!

Great plants, great tips, thank you

This is a very informative video on frog fruit. I really enjoyed learning the history of the plant. I've been slowly converting sections of my yard with this plant. It's amazing how resilient it is.

Where can one find seeds for this plant.

I am in Hollywood Hills and have a 20 x 20 area underneath an olive tree of this plant. I love it! Very easy to grow and very, very low maintenance.

Thank you so much for this video. I had never cared at all about native or local plants before but recently moved to the coast and thought I should look into it. After watching your video I started keeping my eyes out and have seen quite a few of these locally, including plenty of the monkey flower and hooker's evening primrose plants. I harvested some seeds from a Primrose nearby and will try to get the monkey flower seeds, too! Finding these plants in the wild is like a Pokemon game to me now.

Found this information very easy to understand and practical - thank you!

In summary Winter bloomers, 1. Chaparral currant, Ribes malvaceum (winter bloomer 1, very large shrub) 2. Fuchsia-flowered gooseberry, Ribes speciosum (winter bloomer 2, covered in horrible thorns and looks dead for most of the year) 3. Great berried Manzanita, Arctostaphylos glauca (flowers in late winter, range is chaparral greater than 600 m, very large shrub) 4. Island snapdragon, Gambelia speciosa (balloons in early spring, yard friendly, extended bloom) 5. Manzanita, how are Howard McMinn and point Reyes species are yard friendly Spring bloomers, these look great in spring, plant in groups of three or more, look dead the rest of the year. 6. Monkeyflower, does not tolerate typical watering schedules 7. Hummingbird sage, Salvia spathacea 8. Heart-leaved Penstemon, Keckiella cordifolia 9. Woolly bluecurls, Tricostema lanatum 10. Native salvia, like a Cleveland sage Summer bloomers 11. Desert willow, Chilopsis linearis 12. Western Columbine 13. Baja fairy duster, can grow to be large, low maintenance Fall bloomers 14. California fuchsia, Epilobium canum, best native flowers for hummingbirds, the more some they get the more they will bloom 15. Hooker's evening primrose, large and untidy with yellow blooms. Best overall 1. Island snapdragon 2. Native sages 3. California fuchsia Followed by 4. Baja fairy duster 5. Hooker's evening primrose 6. Monkeyflower Runners up 7. Chaparral currant 8. Fuchsia-flowered gooseberry 9. Great berried Manzanita

I am from Martinez California and have found Phyla Nodiflora randomly in areas after using kurapia and learning more about this great ground cover!

Thank you for the great information.

<3 CA buckwheat. I got 3 from nurseries and grew lots more from seed. I also have a St. Catherine's lace buckwheat and am on the lookout for a yellow flowering buckwheat. I tried planting a red flowering variety native to the channel islands but it died in the inland heat.

Great video, thank you! :)

They were created with the hummingbirds not evolved

Very beautiful and interesting video! We recently moved to Southern California and are learning a lot about the area. Great presentation!

Its hard to dig out the current lawn and plant this instead.

Awesome thanks so much!

Indigo, love your channel I assisted my sister taking out her grass and put in a native garden to attract birds, butterflies and pollinators.

This is the most I learned from all the youtube videos I searched for hummingbirds. Thanks.

Seen female black headed grosbeak and white crown sparrow also yellow rumped bird in backyard ! Near 405 freeway, Love identification love video!

Can I grow this with Black Sage which is also native to Southern California?

Hi! I thoroughly enjoyed the therapeutic walk you brought us on along in nature. Local OC -beautiful trail and birdies.

Where is this place, I must go👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

These little guys follow me everywhere and they’re so friendly

Hello, I'm creating a video for a non-profit in Southern California and I was wondering if I can use some of your beautiful footage. If so, do you have an email I can reach you at?

This is beautiful Indigo! TY!

Great birding, thanks!

Amazing footage my friend with lot of new birds for me. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, great work Indigo! I appreciate the frames you captured. You balanced the overall silhouette, habit, "personality" and color of each bird.

Nicely done 👍

Ooooh I’m super jealous of your Townsend warbler!

One- of the plants is mislabeled, I'm sorry! After the California Goldenbush, it should say "Bladderpod".
