I’ve learned about so many different varieties of shrubs/foliage/evergreen plants that are rated for my zone from you! I love flowers, but I need to shift to easy care flowering & foliage shrubs due to my permanent disability. It’s a degenerative genetic disease, so as I get worse each year, I plant easy beauty like bulbs, self seeding flowers & now need to move into dwarf or slow growing shrubs that have big impact, can take care of themselves & not need a ton of shaping, etc. I really didn’t know where to start, but thanks to you, I now have a huge list of gorgeous shrubs & evergreens to choose from for various locations in my yards that I can easily manage in my zone. Thanks so much for these videos! They’re a HUGE help!
Love, love, love the golden plants, especially near purple pixies, and variegated varieties are beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing warnings and cautions from your experience. I can take a pass on the scale plants, lol. But they sure are pretty to look at. Thanks for sharing!
Your videos always contain such good suggestions and spot on advice...Like the euonymus scale. Thanks for mentioning how much LARGER Golden Mops false cypress gets. I love this shrub/small tree in the landscape. It is a great plant that the birds love to nestle in during inclement weather, but it needs space if you don't plan to prune it regularly. They do respond well to pruning, but mine would need to be cut back regularly to maintain them at 3-4'. I'm told there are varieties of golden false cypress that stay small--but they all look very much the same to me when they are young container plants and I think it can be very tough to find one that is labelled correctly that reliably stays small. Do you recommend any? I live near Richmond VA and am looking for a variegated or golden evergreen that stays reliably at 2-3' tall and can take hot afternoon sun and dry conditions without supplemental irrigation. Any suggestions? In another similar site, I've used a mix of ground hugging junipers like Blue Pacific, Blue Star and Blue Rug and a few mugo pines. I've planted more than 40 smaller trade gallons in the autumn over three or four years, watered them in well and all but one has survived and thrived over the past few years.
I absolutely love variegated pittosporum, primarily for the yummy orange blossom-scented flowers. They arent well known out here in the PacNW and, unfortunately, the deer keep mine munched so I dont get to enjoy them. Darn deer.
I have done individual videos on my channel for many of these varieties, if you are interested in learning more about each one. Thanks for watching.

That drone footage is amazing!
It's a very well maintained nursery.

Is Euonymus scale a problem all over the country or just in the South?

You are probably better off using a Juniper. There are alot of new gold Juniper varieties that look threadlike. Saybrook is nice.
