You're my favorite plant guy! Im a native Texas plant gardener too and I love to see all the pretty and beneficial plants you find and grow on your property because I know if they grow well for you it might be a good choice for my garden too! Thanks Paul!

Have you ever checked? The city will go and spray the little medians like that for weeds and such. Sometimes you can request a no spray business. Tell them you're creating a bee and butterfly sanctuary!

I'm in SW Houston and my north-west hellstrip is planted with Tree Layer:: Vitex, Esperanza. Shrub Layer: four kinds of gaura, Magnus Echinacea, Salvia Duelbergs (for summer blooms), Salvia greggii (for fall blooms), misacanthus zebra grass, muhly, bluestem, rudbeckia, golden thryallis, swamp milkweed, and lantana. The ground layer is: winecups (great for native bees), frogfruit (in shade), mistflower and Indian Blanket will literally cover anything..

Find some old fashion red & pink pentas. Butterflies love them. Not the dwarf pentas, they don’t have nectar. It has to be the old fashion. In Orlando FL only the native growers carry them even though they’re not native. Also,butterflies definitely prefer the red, though they’ll also use the pink. They’re beautiful & tropical looking. And very beneficial & they’re not invasive.

So jealous of your climate. So tired of being drunk and jealous and if I don't make my way with family to Mexico I'm giving up.

Every time I have tried lantana in my part of Houston, they get covered in cottony camellia scale. It's so gross.

That is a big ass space... It is going to look so good once it fills in! You are such an inspiration 👏👏👏

If u trim back all the young babies u planted they will bush out more and make more of a Statement!!

[@dangray]

Ya gonna have to start calling it your Heaven strip, cause it look so beautiful!!! haha

Abelias are a great shrub. They are not very common in HTX, but mine have done extremely well. They can be pricey, but all you have to do is prune them in the spring, and they flush out with tubular flowers, which the hummingbirds love. I have the Canyon Creek variety that I bought at Cornelius. Great investment and very low maintenance. They can handle the heat AND cold. I love them!

wow I love how I learn so many things from you, I really love your channel so much & love that you are a fellow Texan:)

I look plant shopping! I've sworn off for 2 yrs but I can't wait to be able to go wild again 🤣

[@michellepollino4986]

Wow! I really love all the new plants you planted today. They are going to really make your garden bed pop. Love all the colors and textures.

[@HCV2962]

The native plant videos are my favorite, even if I’m not there locally I still learn a thing or two.

[@heatherzarbaugh252]

I like you! You make me laugh with the funny words and way you say things. 😂
