Thank you for another great video! I saw a combination of vinca and white Trilliums, many years ago, which were so beautiful together that I’ve never forgotten it. I see you have tons of Bloodroot 😍
Vita, thank you for all the perennial information in this video. Well done. One thing to keep in mind is that the phrase 'deer resistant' doesn't necessarily mean deer won't harm the plants. If deer are hungry enough they will eat anything. The 'deer resistant' plants might be their least favorite, but they are not 'deer proof' by any means. We're having this issue now as hungry deer are eating anything they can find, including 'deer resistant' plants.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support. You are very correct. In many videos, I do state that if deer are hungry, they will browse or eat any plant. I forgot to state that in this video. But it's a very valid point, friend. 🙏🏼😊🦌
Hi Dee. I bought English primrose at a plant nursery close to my house (Cole Nursery in Concord, New Hampshire). You can also try to grow the plant from seed.😊🌻
I wish I could plant freely, but the deer and rabbit pressure is too much. They are attracted to my landscape because everything else is cedar, buckthorn, and oaks so I have to fence everything. And you never chance a small tree as a flowering crabapple 😂 the bucks would shred it. I have plenty of room to plant, but not fenced in and those areas are filled up. Fencing isn’t cheap. I had extra irises, coneflower and day lillies I tried outside the fence and I seen they attacked them. It’s too dry, hot and sandy here for many flowers and I’m also Z5. The past few winters were way above avg temps and it just takes a few days of a polar vortex like WI had this year to fry plants. I will be really surprised if I have any volunteers. I love azaleas and rhododendrons but I don’t think they would do well and definitely would need fencing, yours looked very nice. Sigh. There are a few flowers/herb that go rampant here-very aggressive: Woodland anemone, oregano, vinca periwinkle, purple morning glory, plaintan hosta, spider wort and a yellow flowered Gold moss stonecrop sold also under the name Stepables. The latter is a hideously aggressive plant and will take over any lawn and would give creeping Charlie a run for sure. I’ve battle all of them every year and can’t get rid of them because one piece of root left behind they take off. And I have no idea about this morning glory that was here, but I never seen them return like they do and I never let them seed out. I’ve tried for years to get peonies to bloom-finally last year I had a couple flowers 🙌🏼. It’s in an area I dumped tons of wood chips over 5 years ago and it must be rich enough to give them whatever it needs. So looking forward to spring and new spring bulbs. Thanks for the overview 😀
Hi there. Great question. When I research plants, many times it states that they are toxic if ingested by humans and/or pets, so I like to state that since I'm recommending plants.😊🌸
What are some of your favorite early or mid spring blooming perennials? 🌷🪻
Cali stole the show 😻😻😻 Interesting list!
Beautiful Calico kitty! Callie wanted to be the star! 🌟
Hi Jen! Awwww. Thank you! She sure did! Sweet kitty! 💗
Ooooh! Love the longer review format. Brava!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback. 😊💗
Iris cristata is such a lovely and cheery groundcover in my yard.
Looks like Callie wants to be a star!
Lilacs were my mom’s favorite. Great news sis my niece Kendra performed her first surgery at Veterinary University and it was a success!
Hi John. I love lilacs, too. That's such wonderful news about Kendra. Congratulations!! 🥳
@ thank you, I think I’ve mentioned that from the time she was five this is all she has wanted to be or do. Coming to the happy end of a long road!
Thanks!

Your cally is a beauty especially her face!
Awwww. Thanks. She's such a sweet little kitty. All she wanted was her dinner. 😊😻
Can I ask where you got the English primrose? I’ve never seen that in the shops I frequent. Thank you

@ oh boo! Google says they’re permanently closed:(

Did you really say do not eat the plants why.
