So much for the gardening video you are incredibly beautiful and very very fun to watch thank you so much cannot wait for more
Thanks so much! 😄
Thanks for another great video! I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one who plays musical plants until I get it right!
LOL! Musical plants 😂 Love it!
Very lovely Garden
Thank you! 😊
It's nice you have now two kind litle apprentice gardeners, lol ! Thank you for all the explanations ! Good weekend for you and the family !
Thanks, you too Jean! They love to dig holes 😂
It's looking great! Love watching the kids help you too! ❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for all the tips!
You bet! 😄
Keep up the awesome content
Thank you!
My mom is letting me plant wildflowers by the fence also btw this video was very helpful
Another great video, as always! Thanks so much for covering the topic of design!
You're welcome! 😊
Thanks!
You are welcome Ivette! And thank you! ☺️
Hi! Thank you for this video! My black eyed Susan’s, blanket flower, and spider wort, all came up on their own this year and look amazing. I didn’t think about it when I planted tropical sage in red and pink with orange marigold. It’s pretty but uniform. I like the way nature did it better!
Yay! It sounds like you have a beautiful set of wildflowers! And I agree nature can take our good ideas and do it way better! 😄
Loved the video! I’d love to see more about butterfly host plants if you’d be willing to talk about them again-maybe a synopsis of some of the butterflies native to the US and the host plants for them? Thanks for all you do!
I have usually tried to plant according to sun/shade needs but until your video I never considered whether 1 plant might block the sunshine from its shorter neighbor. You know other than trees. So thanks for that.
Yay! Glad I could help! 😄
Thank you for that wonderful content. I have a hard time seeing the whole picture a few years down the road. I have made big mistakes with some of my plants out growing the intended spot and now looks awful. 😵💫🙈
I’m a new gardener. I’ve made the same “mistake”. But now I’m getting the nerve to just move plants around. In my experience, most move pretty happily. A few not so happily. A few really hate it. But mostly most plants are fairly happy to be moved. So now I like my new beds to have some plants that will outgrow the area. Just because I’m not a very patient person - I’m too old to be patient - so I like a fast “full” look. Then as the smaller plants mature I just move the larger ones. And I’ve given some away.
@@katiecannon8186 I think that's where I'm heading to. Thank you for adding value to this topic. Blessings 🙏🦋🌺🌻💖
Thank you Maria! It's a journey and adventure. I like katie's advice... move the plant... or I'll propagate it and then remove the other once I get the new ones in place. Or maybe it needs a hard prune. Remember, everything you are doing is making Florida better!
@@mariap.894 Thanks for such a nice reply. Just to add: Also, this is my 3rd year gardening. I hugely expanded one of my beds and used a bunch of the wild flowers that were being shaded out by larger plants to do so. Literally all of the wild flowers moved very happily. It’s really just some more shrubby plants that don’t like being moved. Like Paw Paws and a few others. But I’ve yet to have any wild flower that failed to survive. The only thing you need to be careful about is paying attention to which wild flowers are enjoying more shade or more sun. So, for instance, Purple Coneflowers and Stokes Astors (to name just two) really do not like Florida’s hot late after noon sun. So, I always plant something taller to shield them. So, when I moved them I made sure they would continue to be shaded from late afternoon sun.
And to follow up on pruning larger plants that are shading our small ones: Yes, I also do this. And it’s amazing how little you have to prune to open up a little sun spot. I use a lot of Old Fashioned Pintas as my foundation plant in my otherwise native wild flower beds. And I planted the wild flowers “too close”. But I just prune the Pintas just enough to open up little sun spots. It works great.
Ditto for my non-native Blue Mystic Spires Salvia. Which I also use a lot as a foundation plant.
Old Fashioned Pintas (many of the cultivars don’t produce nectar) and Blue Mystic Spire Salvia bloom all season. So, for me, they’re the blooms that bloom constantly as the natives ebb and flow.
Pintas for the butterflies. And the Salvia for the bees. I highly recommend both. Most native plant growers grow the Old Fashioned Pintas. Some grow the Salvia. And the Salvia - Blue Mystic Spires - can be found at most smaller (as opposed to big box) regular nurseries.
Anyway: Don’t be afraid to move plants. Something that I had a really hard time getting used to because it scared me 🙀
And don’t be afraid to prune. Something I’m still struggling with emotionally. Lol.
@@katiecannon8186 aww, you are too kind. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Blessings your way🙏🍀❤️🦋
Nice video. What native plant nursery did the plants come from?
Nevermind, just found the shopping video! Love Wilcox nursery.
LOL! I'm glad to help!
I have a question: I want to do a fairly heavy mulch using wood chips. How many inches can I go without “burying” the plants? Thanks!
My gut/experience would say 3 inches max for wild flowers. You will have to collect seeds to later reseed. The lower the better for native wildflowers... but sometimes the weeds demand a deep mulch.
@@WildFloridian Yeah, I’m not going to worry about the plants producing babies this year. My weed problem is HUGE. So, you think 3 inches is good? When you mulch your veggies is that about what you do? Also, do you pull the mulch away from the roots?
Holy cow! Toooo many words!! Edit Edit we just want to know how to plant them, not a bout Cave Ladies or Cave Men! I stopped your video 3 loooongg sentences later.
