Thank you for doing this video. It's wonderful to hear about beautiful plants that will do well in my 8b/9a California garden and it's so rare to hear anything on line targeted to our dry season/wet season conditions. I hope my local garden center starts carrying more of the Sunset series.
Oh, I am so jealous those of you in zones 8-11 can grow that stunning Amethyst agapanthus. I love them!! 🟣💜 I garden in zone 6b-7a and grow a few different varieties.
I'm near NW of Charlotte NC zone 8a. We've grown Spainish lavender for many years here. It's much better for the piedmont than French lavender. It's much less particular about the soil or humidity and thrives in full sun with good drainage.
I’d like to see some videos on plants that produce the most nectar for pollinators. Especially which ones that’ll produce the most nectar in a years time. Something that stays blooming over a long period and continues producing nectar. It could be 3 different videos with trees, shrubs and smaller plants like wildflowers. I’m always looking for new stuff to plant for my beehives. I just planted 30 black gum trees I grew from seed and a bunch of other nectar trees.
I finally splurged on an Angel Wings Senecio this past summer and really loved it. I put it in a small-ish concrete planter and it was super happy with the early drought we had in the Raleigh area. My neighbors loved it too and many complimented the look. However, it literally melted when the drought ended midsummer and we got tons of rain. It looked so ugly, I pulled it out. Would it have resprouted nicely if I'd left it in the pot? (I did try to plant it elsewhere to recover, but it didn't make it.) Should I have moved or covered the planter to reduce the rain on it? I honestly think that water sitting on the leaves was the main problem because the pot had excellent drainage. Thoughts? Thanks for producing so many informative videos.

Nice Video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this one. I miss those plants and that climate.
This was great! I’m looking forward to adding many of these to my zone 10 garden. Love your channel.

THANK YOU!
Everde is legendary on the west coast. Lots of the box store shrubs and trees come from them

I have ever amethyst agapanthus. It’s purple and it’s still blooming here in California in December. I’ve divided it already . It’s a show stopper.
