- Gardeners in the northeast and Mid-Atlantic will love seeing this garden tour and learning about native plants that bloom in July and attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. This video helps gardeners visualize how the plants will work in their landscapes. Make your garden a sustainable habitat and learn about common garden butterflies. Some of the plants discussed include buttonbush, sunflowers, mountain mints, rattlesnake master, culver's root, milkweeds, spicebush, pearly everlasting, and many others.

“You should be afraid of NOT having insects in your garden”. Great quote!
Thank you, so many people are afraid of insects we can't live without.
So true. I went on a garden tour and one yard on surface was beautiful everything looked perfect. I turned to my mother and said this yard is sterile, she looked and me and I said there are no insects. It was quite eerie as to how silent this huge yard full of plants and flowers was, it should have been buzzing with activity. It was quite sad.
Such a helpful channel! Thank you for naming all the plants in captions and also for identifying the butterflies and their host plants.
Thanks for commenting, names can be confusing so I try to make it as clear as possible.
Brilliant. This is the first whole year we've begun replacing invasives with natives and your channel was one of our inspirations.
Anyway, last year, we replaced a foundation planting of Rose of Sharon, Japanese Barberry, and dull evergreen shrubs with blueberries (in grow-bags so we can keep the soil acidic) and some Shrubby St. John's Wart someone from our church gave us. We also tried a New Jersey Tea, but the rabbits and deer destroyed them. Then I started from seed Smooth Blea Asters, Black Eyed Susans, and Purple Coneflowers which have replaced Daylillies. To eliminate mulch, we're using prairie sundrops and coreopsis as ground cover.
They look piddling now, so we filled in with Zinnias and Marigolds, but we can't wait till they fill next year.
And, speaking of next year... we're planning to attack our small part-shade garden, replacing hostas with native Columbine, Wild Geranium, and Blue Stemmed Goldenrod,. Along the back, we'll frame the view with Great Blue Lobelia, Cardinal Flower, and maybe some more Smoothe Blue Aster. I've got all the seeds ready to go. I'll seed them in pots in October and let Mother Nature take care of the freeze-thaw they need to sprout. Come March, I'll bring them under the grow lights for a month to speed their growth.. then harden them off, and plant them out in late April/ early May.
Gardening is all about planning and patience.
So true! Gardening teaches many life lessons!
Always interesting. The videos from different times of year are a big help in learning what blooms when.
Thanks for commenting, and thanks for making our world better by planting natives!
Fascinated by the camouflage critters you showed.
Thanks for commenting, the life in our gardens is amazing when we take the time to observe!
I'm late to the party! But I wanted to say thank you for showing everything the way you did. Seeing how tall certain species actually get (and in a short time!) and how they look with each other is so incredibly helpful to me as a newbie. I have acquired a bunch of native seeds that I will be winter sowing and I was thinking about sneezeweed but I think it's too large for my space. I have penstemon seeds coming too that might be too tall but we'll see. (I'm in SW Ontario and we share many of the same native species). But I know that with our property size and layout that as much as I'd like to have ALL THE PLANTS I also have to consider how big they will get.. And that is in no small part because I want to show my "old school" gardening neighbours that native plants can look just as nice as their peonies and hydrangeas and elephant grass (ok I'm the one with the elephant grass but I didn't put it there and I'm getting rid of it lol).
Anyway my point is that photos don't show the whole picture (ha) so videos like this one will prevent a lot of headaches in my future! Lol
You are so informative! I am excited to begin my native plant garden!
Thank you for helping to improve our ecosystems! Be sure to check out the upcoming NPC video with Dr. Doug Tallamy!
Excellent! Thank you!
very nice video and info on the plants in your garden.
Thanks for watching and commenting, keep going native!
Very informative and beautiful video! Thank you!
Thanks for commenting, I understand that people are busy and try to provide the most useful information in the shortest time possible.
Please mention Homegrown National Park in your videos. This is a website where you can get information and join a community of like minded people.
Get on the map!
You will be happy to know that Native Plant Channel's next video features Dr. Tallamy and he will discuss many things, including Homegrown National Park!
Thank you!
I loved the video
Thank you for the information! Very inspiring! Can you do a video about native plants you can plant under trees in part shade?
You have such a beautiful garden! Thanks for the tour! Your videos never fail to give me more ideas for my native gardens
Thanks for the kind remark and for adding native plants! So happy to be of help!
Your videos are so inspirational. I love them! Please keep up the great work!
I LOVE your Lonicera sempervirens! It's absolutely stunning. And the way you have the spicebush right next to the arbor, what a great spot for that bush. Gorgeous garden. Thanks for sharing it. ☺
So glad I found this channel! You’re great!
I found what I was looking for my garden . Thanks!
So beautiful and useful. I love your aesthetic!
Love this video!! Thank you!
Keep doing what you do!
Ty!
Thank you for all of your videos. We planted Helenium last fall as well and it is huge as well and just starting to flower - Really nice. I plan on cutting back next year mid-spring.
Thanks for your comment, yes cutting it down in the spring will keep it lowere.
Great video. The deer in my area seem to like my joepye weed. I would love to know the scientific name of the sunflowers you showed at the end. Perhaps I missed it. Anyway, thanks for the info on your channel! A lot applies to me in MA
Great video! My wild senna is blooming right now and the bumblebees are all over it in the morning. It must only produce nectar in the morning because they ignore it the rest of the day.
Thank you for commenting, interesting observation, I'll have to check it out!
Do your deer eat slender mountain mint? I thought they avoided all/most mint family plants? Also, where did you find the black-coated fencing? I can only find green and the black seems to blend in better. Thanks for your wonderful videos!
Deer have not eaten either clustered or slender mountain mint. The black fencing came from one of the big box stores. It can be ordered online.
Thank you Lourdes. Your habitat garden is amazing and you are very knowledgeable. I’m wondering if my senna is not tolerant to juglone. I am surrounded by black walnut trees. Cheers
That's possible, I don't know. Thank you for using native plants and trying to improve our ecosystems!
@@NativePlantChannel you’re welcome
Do you know if the sugar shack buttonbush can still serve as a host plant? I’m limited in space as well.
I can't answer regarding sugar shack specifically, but buttonbush is the host plant for several moths according to Xerces Society. xerces.org/blog/planting-for-pollinators-button-bush#:~:text=In%20addition%20to%20its%20attractiveness,walnut%20moth%20(Citheronia%20regalis).
