About this video:
I have a few favorite perennials that I've come to love over the last few years in my garden. If you are just beginning a garden or redoing some beds, check out these sun loving work horse perennials. They are reliable perennials that are not fussy, and bloom their heads off for a really long time. Of course they need proper growing conditions, the right climate, soil, water, and light. But otherwise, these sun loving perennials will bring you lots of color and joy in your garden for years to come! Comment below if you have any of these perennials in your garden? Thanks for watching! - Steph

My honorable mention would be Russian Sage with its long bloom time and great glaucous foliage.
great option! I don't grow it yet, so I couldn't speak from experience. But I picked some up this year, and will be planting it soon.
Yes! I lived 4 years in the Denver area. Nothing grows in the high desert. Well…almost nothing. But, Russian Sage did great! It’s gorgeous and smells amazing.
@@ltldxy71 I live in Fruita, CO and Russian Sage loves our heavy clay soil with full sun and no additional water. It's a must have for my garden and the bees love it.
The rusion sage i planted became way to big
I love them next to my arborvitae.
I never get tired of looking at beautiful flowers!😍💓👍
Hello from Idaho! I love your shirt! California girl here. I’m a transplant from California to Idaho.
Its very hard u.pick favorites.i love all.🤣🤣🤣 thanks for sharing this video.love it.
Totally agree with your list! Beautiful! I love the native coneflowers around here. You've got a beautiful garden! Cheers Steph!
Thank you so much Rich!! 🌱 hope all is well. Your veggies are looking AMAZING!! Well done!
That comparison of the Autumn Joy sedum growth in part shade vs sun is fascinating. Side by side, there's the evidence of actual growth, and thanks so much for showing us! Love the yarrow with the echinacea, such a nice pairing both in color and height, with the echinacea coming just a little above the yarrow.
Great list! I’m a big fan of Cats PJ’s and All echinacea varieties.
Beautiful garden very nice i like it
Thank you so much!
Love the "Normal" coneflower the most! I think it is the only native species in your list. Very beautiful garden.
Shasta daisy, Sedum autumn Joy, Yarrow, Napeta, Coneflower, Scabiosa. Thanks so much for a great video.
Great presentation. Very informative. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I love Yarrow…so many beautiful varieties.
There really are so many pretty ones. And they bloom forever! Even the aged stems are gorgeous.
@@HookedandRooted I know…some of the new varieties are stunning. They make great dried flowers as well.
Thank you . Loved your choice.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching😊
I am also a Massachusetts gardener and this year the rabbits have destroyed my white cone flowers. All you other suggestions are good choices and the rabbits leave them alone. It's funny as the cone flowers have been in my yard for over 10 years without any problems until this year. I guess the bunnies taste buds have changed.
Hi there, Sorry to hear that. Each year brings new challenges right? I have a number of deer, rabbits, chipmunks, and even groundhogs that hang out in or around my garden. I'm constantly spraying something or trying to be vigilent. But they still get some things. I guess the key is to have so many things blooming that we don't notice lol. It is so disappointing though so I'm sorry this is happening to you. I hope the bunnies lose interest in your coneflowers, and you still get some this year. Is it possible to put something around them? Even a dollar tree laundry basket temporarily to see if they recover yet this year? They bloom for a long time so with some clever outsmarting you could potentially get a couple blooms.
Thanks for the info! It was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Thanks! Lovely garden!
Oh I have the, I think you called it this, Butterfly Blue. I have had it for a few years now, I just dead head. It's very pretty. I live in zone 6, Michigan. Comes back every year. Bees love it. The Daisies were pretty, the Yarrow is pretty, have to check into that. This was a nice video, enjoyed. Thank you 🌺
Butterfly blue scabiosa is gorgeous! Thanks for watching Connie 😊
Hi Steph, Love your video; it is simple, short, and sweet. Keep up the great work! Best, Albert, SF, CA
Thank you so much Albert!
@@HookedandRooted 😶
8b here. Sedum grows in any light for me . Western wash.
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Beautiful garden. I agree with your 5 top picks! Just a quick suggestion. Could you put the names up on the screen? I take screenshots to remember the flowers when I’m next at the nursery or garden center. Names would be super helpful. My memory isn’t what it used to be.
I love her simple but very informative information. She gives all the details how to care for,when and how long flowers bloom etc.!
Thank you for your kind words Marty! 🌱
What a marvelous video. Thank you!
Your garden is just gorgeous. As a fellow Massachusetts gardener, I love seeing what you are growing. I have been marveling over your bonus choice myself! I bought them this Spring and never expected such a long bloom time. They deal with a hot sun, not so great soil area, and an ever growing bunny family without flagging! I definitely need to up my coneflower game! Thank you so much. ❤️🌸🌼
Hi there!! Yay another Massachusetts gardener, welcome!! Those scabiosa are great!! this is only my second year with them, and I'm already in love! They bloom for soooooo long!! I had some through frost last year! I just went through last night and cut mine all back to encourage new blooms, only left a few standing so i expect them to be gorgeous again in a couple weeks. I even bought 2 more this spring when Lowes was having a 2/$10 perrenial sale and put them in planters on my front porch, and even in containers they are blooming their heads off. We have bunnies too, and they don't seem to bother the scabiosa. I do spray my coneflowers though because we have deer too. I use invisible fence deer and rabbit. Thanks for watching!
Scabiosa = Just starting YESTERDAY I was thinking to have this plant, too when I stumbled upon it in local nursery (Scabiosa "Fama Deep Blue", so gorgeous). But I read this plant is "short-lived", i.e. 2-3 years. That gave me a pause whether it is worth to have it ... ☹
you have an amazing place cheers from Australia
Hi Sean, Thank you so much!
@@HookedandRooted welcome
In CT, I cannot get Shasta daisy’s to grow. My cone flowers are crazy good.
I'm sure it depends on the garden, light and soil conditions. They like lots of sun, and low nitrogen.
Yippee have them all 🎉
Some of my top favourites as well 🥰 and my absolute favourite is also the Coneflowers they are just glorious 💕 the garden is looking amazing Steph so proud of you 🌸💕🌸
Thank you SO much Jasmine! You are always so kind. Means alot. I appreciate the support. Have a beautiful day!
Love your video, great content!
Thank you so much! 😊
I live in Finland and the pink scabiosa grows all over the place. They're so cute! But I found a colour of them that just blew me away: Scabiosa atropurpurea Cherry Red.
New subscribers here TFS. your perennials are pretty.
Epidendrum Orchids like sun - bloom all year long - from summer thru winter - can get to 6-7 feet +
tall .
Easy care .
Love all those varieties of coneflowers! Need some for my garden next yr.
Hi Steph, love this!!!
Your garden is just stunning!! Can you tell me what variety of double coneflower you have planted next to that gorgeous yarrow? I've never grown a double coneflower.
Hi Bella, Thank you so much! That is a double scoop Rasberry Coneflower. Its a beauty!
I think I saw in the very beginning a blue plant: maybe the globe thistle? I’m trying that this year. Also the other blue one: the name escapes me. Do you like yours?
As a being a new subscriber and also new to wanting a flower garden with no experience at all and a zone 6a what perennials would you suggest in a bed against the front of my house? Early shade/ part sun with full afternoon/early evening sun? I would like a plethora of color and easy maintenance as like I said before…. I have no experience lol. Thanks in advance. Will be binge watching your channel.
I’m a new gardener and I’m surprised to see I have all those plants except for the yarrow,
I’ve been watching all of your past videos, your garden is one of my favorites here on RUclips
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy my content. Thank You!
Great, great advice on plant choices, especially autumn joy sedum, which grows prolifically here in Virginia. Small pieces just placed in open space grows a new plant pretty quickly. Hence, I have them all,over my garden. Love coneflowers but rabbits devour them. Need to cover with netting to get them to be more than 10 inches. Might try again.
Loved your video! Is that your potting shed in the background? Have to know. Where did you get it? I absolutely love it
Hi Patty! Thank you. That is our garden shed, it houses our lawn tractor and patio furniture. We bought it prefab, and it was delivered and installed 8 or so years ago now. We purchased it from Reeds Ferry Sheds in New Hampshire. They have a website.
Hello thanks you for sharing the great video 👍
Thank you - I loved this. No green fingers here but am going to try! What was the name of the bonus perennial please?
Green thumbs take practice, and killing lots of plants along the way. Then we sometimes get things right ;) The bonus plant was called "Butterfly blue scabiosa". A short lived perennial type of scabiosa. Very pretty color and polinator magnet.
Have you grown a zebra mallow. Will sometimes bloom well into the late fall.
I haven't but now I'm interested! I'll add it to my seed list for next year to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice! What region and zone do you live in?
Wearing a California shirt! I started watching because I thought you were showing California perennials, because of the shirt!
I'm quite excited by Hardy Hibiscus....you should try one.
I have them! They are beautiful! I show them in my favorite foundational shrubs video, and they make an appearance in my August Garden Tour! Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the most informative and fast-paced garden videos I've seen. Every sentence is intentional and packed with facts. Thank you!
I am also in Massachusetts 6b! I am thankful to have found you. Your videos and knowledge is so helpful. Especially knowing your garden plants are in the same zone as mine.
Note: Green Twister echanacia (coneflower), purple w lime + cream tinge, really cool. Bubble Gum double scoop coneflower -- magenta fluffy scoop top, violet petals. Scabiosa butterfly blue, lower growing mound, flaring spikes w flower, neon violet.
Hi Steph, What is the "tall" plant with green-brown leaves to the right of Sedum (2:22). Please advise. Thanks, Albert, SF, CA
Hi Albert, That's a Proven Winners Perfect Storm Hardy Hibiscus. I actually feature it in this video and show how it looks throughout the seasons. ruclips.net/video/6c_Bv2QXk3c/видео.html
@@HookedandRooted Hi Steph, Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I should plant one too. Best, Albert
Just moved to New Hampshire from Oregon. The garden here has yarrow in it. I’d call it invasive so I’m surprised you recommend it. What am I missing? Thank you!
Hi there, While I'm sure some varieties can get invasive (I've heard the moonshine), the one I'm growing is pretty tame. I actually wish it would spread more. Unfortunately I had a bit of winter die back/crown rot. Mine are much smaller this year. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Wait ... what? ... coneflowers from seed don't bloom first year...? 😟 I had no idea. I'll have to find a starter plant to hold me over until next year.
Your garden is beautiful!!!
Hi Shelli! Depending how early you start your seeds, you *might get blooms the first year. Its been my experience though, that my coneflowers from seed have not bloomed until year 2. I've started the purpurea type, white swan, and green twister from seed so far. Thank you so much!! 😊
Thank you for the info! You have a beautiful garden :)
OMG! Your garden is beautiful and your knowledge is inspiring.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words Ruth!
Wonderful 💕 I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. 🥰🌺 🔔
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching! 🌱
Fellow Massachusetts gardener here, thanks for the information. What rabbit repellant spray do you use? Any experience with rabbit scram? (Dried blood, and spicy stuff, you sprinkle it around )
My other question is…where’s your favorite place to buy plants?
Last one… where does one go to get plants that are past-prime (like they don’t look great anymore but are perennials and still fine, for example phlox subulata in late may :-) …thanks!)
I’m in Your zone too but I can’t get the bunnies to not eat my yarrow. Do you have any tips? I’ve tried the sprays but I forget to put reapply after rain!
Hi there, I spray ALOT. I'm very deligent with spraying repellants in Spring, Summer and some of Fall. Then I start getting lazy with it. I have to reapply after the rain also. It wasn't too difficult in Summer since it was really dry, but hard to keep up with in Spring and Fall. It does help though.
My shasta daisies bloom once, I cut once, they don'e bloom till next year.
My second flush aren't as prolific as my first. But I get a handful of blooms. Could depend on the variety.
I planted two Yarrow plants different areas. I have a full sun yard. They are doing horrible. I’ve watered them that seems to make them worse. I won’t buy any Yarrow ever again they do not do well in Mallard.
Would coneflower survive in a big pot during MN. Winter ?
There's always a risk when having plants in containers. Typically things that are at least 2 zones hardier than your zone is the criteria for things that are more likely to survive in containers. The traditional echinacea purpurea may be hardier than some of the newer varieties, and it may work in a container.
Oh, I just received three Shasta daisies from Proven Winners…the variety is called Marshmallow…can’t wait to get them in the ground tomorrow!!
Hi Carolyn! oh how fun, love the name!! Happy Planting!!
How gorgeous your perennials garden is!!! Thank you for showing those beautiful coneflowers. Also living in MA. ^^ Do you have any experiences of planting the David Austin roses as well as those climbing roses (e.g. Eden Climber rose) in our area? Do they need any winter protections?
Hi there! Thank you so much! I actually have about a half dozen david Austin Rose's. I dont have great success with them. I dont know if it's due to humidity or what, but mine always end up with black spot, yellow leaves, and just barely survive but dint actually thrive in my garden. One suggestion would be if you do purchase DA Rose's, I would order directly from their site. They have a 5 year warranty for replacement if your DA rose you order from them end up dying. I've used this warranty a couple times. You dont get this warranty if you purchase your DA Rose's at most nurseries. Just something to be aware of/ask about.
@@HookedandRooted Thank you so much for your reply. I will order the DA roses from their website this September. Fingers crossed!
Where did you get the corn flower seeds from ? The double ones I can’t find seeds online :(
Hi Laura, I only started white Swan Echinacea (swallowtail seeds), and green twister Echinacea (baker creek seeds) from seed. The others I bought as plants.
I want ALL of those gorgeous flowers! Thanks for sharing.
My scabiosa didn't come back. Are you sure it is perennial in MA?
Hi, There are 2 types of Scabiosa. There's an annual variety, that wont come back. Then there's the perrnial version that does return. The variety I have in my garden is called "butterfly blue" and is a perrenial. Hope this helps.
One of my favorite long blooming perennials is salvia guaranitica. Especially the cultivar Black and Blue. Hummingbirds go nuts over it. I like and grow several of the perennial Salvia species. Salvia gregii is another good one. S.uliginosa is a good one also, but the bees love it so much they tend to knock the flowers off. It's also one of the few flowers that has true blue colors in it, and not purple.
Thank you so much for sharing! I'll have to check out those salvias.
Love in a mist. Sincerely blue!!
There is a Crystal Blue Salvia which is my favorite.
🙋♀️🌴🥀🌴👏
My favorite chick when it comes to gardening
How beautiful! I'm new to your channel, so I apologize if you've mentioned this before, but do you irrigate, or have enough rain to maintain your garden? Thank you for sharing.
Hi there! Thank you for subscribing. Welcome! We do have irrigation. However, we don't use it regularly as we're in a drought and worry about it drying out our well. Most things are established. So I have watered those things very little this year. Other times I drag the hose around and give things that need water a deep soak. Like hydrangeas or any newly planted plant/tree/shrub. Then I pray for rain!
Hey Steph, I live in NC zone 7. You have such a beautiful garden that inspired me to go out today to look for some of the flowers. I was only able to find two coneflowers, the white swan and the puerperia. I did find a a beautiful black eyed Susan that’s full of blooms.
Wow very beautiful garden, thank you for sharing your top choices of long blooming perennials. I live in Toronto, Canada which is zone 5 and I have a few Geranium Rozanne plants in my garden. They bloom from Spring to end of Fall. The flowers start to disappear sometime in November. They are absolutely a must in any garden.
Thank you so much, and thanks for the recommendation of the Geranium. I've heard that from many Gardeners. Sounds like I'll have to add some at some point 🌱
@@HookedandRooted Hi Steph, thank you so much for reading and replying to my comment. I highly recommend this perennial. It adds a bit of whimsy to the garden and is a pollinator magnet. The flowers are sterile and won't go to seed ever, that's why they are long lasting, plus one plant spreads and covers about 2-3 sq. foot area. You're gonna love this plant and the bees will love you for it. Good luck and keep up the excellent work.
YOUR GARDEN IS BEAUTIFUL & UR VID WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. I'M ENVIOUS.
THANK YOU!
So nice of you, Thank you Deborah!
As a fellow 6b'er, also in Massachusetts, I really appreciate your content. Many thanks!
Hi Molly, Welcome! Thanks for being here 🌱
Love those double echinaceas! Especially the red/pink one. This year was my first time growing typical Purpurea, they're in pots and I'll put them in the ground this fall.
Is there a difference in pollinator preference between the singles vs. doubles?
🐝🦋
@@talainacummins275 no idea, I only have singles.
Thank you for sharing, you certainly do enjoy your garden!🌷🌸🌻
Beautiful plants. Thanks for sharing. Just know that double blooms can’t be used by pollinators.
Thank you for sharing. I hadn't seen 🕑 of the coneflowers. Truly beautiful
Beautiful garden! My favorites are echinaceas and Shastas! 👌🏽👌🏽
Those shastas are ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh this video couldn't have come at a better time!!! We cleaned up a weed infested portion of our backyard. It is just sitting there with nothing because I couldn't decide what could go in this very hot, dry spot. I love every pick you made and am sure I saw all of these at Lowe's. Can't wait to get started!! Thanks again.
I LOVE your videos! And I agree with your first choice - Coneflowers are #1 for me too!
Thank you for your nice video’s. I’m watching from the Netherlands, but I think we have similar gardenplants here. Maybe it’s an idea for you to mention the scientific name of the plants (do you call it like this in englisch?) in the caption. So you can attract more people to your chanel.
I love how much you seem to love cone flowers but I don't think they're for me lol
lol, we all love different things, and thats why our gardens are all different and unique, beautiful in their own way. Whats your favorite perennial flower?
My daisies I got from big box last year didn’t have a second bloom. Does this mean they’re not happy in the spot they’re in? I do see some green growth popping up in zone 7b as spring approaches so I think it’s still alive?
Hi there, Once daisies have their first big flush, they don't bloom as prolifically the second time. You will get sporadic re blooming. However, there are also other types of daisies such as the montauk that bloom later in the season, that you could also incorporate into the garden to extend the daisy show.
Spot on with every plant you name. All wonderful with little help. Well worth the investment. My coneflowers get eaten by both deer and rabbits. Bought them again last year and covered them with netting. Worked and worth it.
Thanks so much Maureen, I hope your coneflowers stay safe this season as well. Its really hard to have beautiful flowers when were living among nature. Glad the netting helped. Have a great weekend!
Are coneflowers short lived perennials?
very cool again girl! I live in Idaho with the same zone and grow the same flowers. I knew my most favorite flower that comes up in my perrenial garden was a coneflower but didn't know the variety until I saw this video. Thanks for the info.
Your so welcome Wendy! Glad you also enjoy coneflower, and now know the variety! They are so beautiful!
Love all five of these Perennials and this video! Your gardens are so beautiful. Thank you for identifying the different varieties of the plants. The cantaloupe colored Coneflower is gorgeous! I will have to put some effort into finding some for my gardens. Many thanks for this inspiration! 👏🪴🥰
Hi Peggy, thank you so much for your kind words. Thanks for watching! 🌱
Enjoyed your favorites! I live in Ma , originally from Berkshire hills then 40 yrs Boston. Curious to know the month you filmed? Or you central mass or western? Boston is ahead by a month in the seasons
Beautiful garden. Very useful information.
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic and informative! Thank you!
My echinacea, coneflowers, are all about 8 ft tall they're monsters and I've got about a jungle a worth of them
My catmint rarely gets a chance to flower. It is a favorite part of my house bunny’s “salad”, so it's constantly being pruned.
oh that's a bummer Janet! I thought they were pretty resistant to deer and rabbit based on their scent, but they all have different palets. Thanks for sharing.
Love 💕 love the scoop variety of coneflowers and this year for the first time my twister is blooming on strong upright stems , except for the scabiosa I have all 5 of your favorite picks , they are workhorses in my garden and very reliable to put on a show each year
Hi Amy! They really are great flowers. I'm loving the green twister and am so happy with it.
thanks excellent video.......tried any Zinnias?
Hi Steph, your garden looks magnificent and I’ve been gathering plants to try to replicate in my own humble garden. Thank you so much for the tutorials and inspiring videos! Your Lowes videos have resulted in an addiction and now I find myself there 2-4 times a week! 😂😂😂😂 help me! Wait you make me do it!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Hi Juan! Your garden is amazing!!! Lol you cannot beat those great clearance pick ups. You have been killing it with those amazing deals your finding. Your lowes is even better than mine! Thanks for watching and for your constant support. Your great!
@@HookedandRooted It's the least I can do for all of the garden tips, inspiration and amazing videos you share. Thank you so much, Steph!
Love your video, do you deadhead the coneflowers to make them last
Hi Kevin, Thank you! yes, I do deadhead the coneflowers once blooms are done. It helps the plant to keep producing blooms longer, and it looks more tidy.
Can you do a video on deadheading and maintaining coneflowers, bee balm and Stella d’oros to extend the flower blooming
Great selection!
In Australia, we pronounce Nepeta.......NE-PEET-AH.
Cool, welcome from Australia! And thank you 😊
Great channel and great list! Is that just me that have problems with yarrows? Couple of them just died on me
Hi Marina! Thank you so much! As for the Yarrow, I had trouble with the first ones I planted dying a few years ago. In my case I believe the issue was root crown rot. I had them in a bed that is always water logged in spring and winter. I have since learned to plant them higher and amend the soil with some gypsum in that area to help drain water better around that plant. Now Yarrow is doing well for me. Sometimes takes a little trial ans error. It's generally an easy perrenial in the right planting location/soil. Hope this helps.
With a magnolia, I think your soil must be on the acidic side. Will any of these perennials grow in alkaline soils?
