Hello Marta, we are senior sisters in Texas USA that love your channel. We look forward to every episode and we are very picky about what we watch consistently. Thank you for all of your effort to speak our language so that we can learn from you and your beautiful gardens. We love to have tea and pastry while watching. We also love your opening music and perhaps someday see and hear the full instrumental paired with your best videos of your plants. The lazy bumble bee is adorable. Good job with your photography. You have a nice, unhurried pace with your garden and we want you to know that we recognize that. Looking forward to your future postings.
WELL DONE VIDEO! You chose 10 great plants. I would add “butterfly weed” ( this is different from “ butterfly bush.” Butterfly weed is a milkweed that doesn’t spread. Its orange flowers bloom over an extended period of time (mid July ~ mid August). Its about 3’ tall. It’s hardy and it’s famous for attracting the endangered monarch butterfly. 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you! I love your beautiful garden. My only recommendation would be to put the name of the plants on the screen so those of us who can’t hear very well can pause and take time to write it down.
Hi Martha, Try a hosta called 'Stained Glass'. She has huge light lavender flowers, but unlike other hostas, this one has an amazing scent. Camellias, helleborus, roses, lillies, dahlias and lilacs are also some of my favorites!
Hello Marta, I loved your presentation on the 7 best perennials to grow in my garden. I have sedums that have just bloomed. Beautifully. But are flopping over. I've tied it up with string. Very dry soil. Mostly shaded part of the house.
I like your choice of plants. On point! thank you. and: nice dress! Rudbeckia Goldsturm is good in sun and rich, moist soil. I grow few paeonies in masses of catmint. some paeonies are more healthy than others and even show fall colour. (Bowl of beauty) Cats like to lay into Nepeta. I put metall baskets over them when the foliage appears. they attrack the most variety of insects. I put lot of grit into the planting hole for Nepeta. Bergenias provide big leaves and give contrast to small leaved plants. They thrive in sun and shade. There are a lot of ferns. my favorit is Polystichum aculeatum. they like shade, rich soil and some moisture. (Astrantias like same conditions and are very good.) If you have poor, gravely soil and full sun, Sedum is best. also Lavender angustifolia. I am in Zone 4 with clayish soil. Germany.
Hello Marta, what a great list of perennials. I've book marked this episode and got the list from your description. That helps so much. I'm going to try to find all of these for spring. I used to have a lot of hostas. My favorite was a blue hosta. But this year my favorite has been my different Salvias. They are still so beautiful and giving me a second blooming. They've been so easy to care for. I've also taken the pieces I've cut off and rooted them in pots. Thank you for another great episode.
I agree with all your choices especially geranium Roseanne. Thanks for the tip about the Chelsea chop I will try that next year. Love your garden it is beautiful 🌺
Giant Anise Hyssop - turned up as a volunteer in my foundation last year. It survived a period of -42C last winter, and when in bloom always has bees feeding on the nectar. It has become my favourite plant.
Love your top 10! Here is mine (not in specific order) : serendipity aliums, baptisias, penstemon, amsonias, brunneras, pulmonarias, hostas, coneflowers, catmint, peonies.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Gardens. I didn’t see any hellebore. Hellebore is my favorite carefree perennial in my zone seven Garden in New Jersey.
Coming from Australia, in an elevated area 1000 above sea level that gets strong sun, cold winters to minus 5 or 6 C. sometimes, and hot summer, I need tough things. Like you I love salvias and nepeta because they cope with extremes and am now interested in Heucheras from watching this. Also, a plant that I learned to love is a native called Westringia. The foliage is grey and stiff, so not pretty as such, but if lightly clipped twice per year to a shape it makes a great sculptural element in a border. I am currently training mine to round ball shapes. One should reach 1 m high though some are half that.
Thank you so much for this video. I liked all your choices. I’m a beginner gardener , an older beginner, up in north Scotland and my favorite so far in our garden of 2 years is alliums.
Catmint (Nepeta Faassenii) - fabulous plant, but in some climates have problems with spider mites and rot on very wet climate (need a very good drainage).
I agree with all your choices! The only plant you mentioned that I don't have yet are the brunnera. I'm hoping to add brunnera to my garden next spring when I rework some of the garden beds. My garden is fairly new but I finally have enough semi shade to plant some brunnera. Take care!
I also Love Hostas very much n also want to get the Bruner for next year You have very Great choice CEO’s Thanks for Sharing Today is October 7 Beautiful Day God Bless you My name is Dorothy from Swift current Saskatchewan
Another great video, here in the uk, we suffer from vine weevil damage on heuchera when planted in pots, it doesn't do very well at all, I still have lots of these plants in my borders though as they do well here. I love all your choices and have experience with most. I will however be buying geranium rosanne to add to my garden. Thank you
I enjoy your videos so much, Martha! Your garden is always so stunning, no matter the season. Some of my favourite perennials are geums, foxgloves and the simple oxeyed daisy, which for me is the most beautiful of all the daises. I also love penstemon, but sadly, I have none in this garden, which we’ve started from scratch since moving houses two years ago.
I am so excited to find your channel. You have outstanding and elevated taste. It's like you're a professional floriculturist! Watched all your videos and will probably watch them again. I just spent my afternoon adjusting my climbing roses to go more horizontal.
Hi from the desert of Utah. I agree sedums are amazing especially here. More from my climate that do well: Iris, yarrow, lambs ear, lilies, some roses, valerian, daylilies, asters, coreopsis, coneflowers, rudbeckia etc are no fuss perennials but they do need care when the foliage looks bad. Cleanup or Chelsea chop works great. Thanks enjoying your videos.
Happy to have found your channel, I'm sure I'll learn so much from you! Thanks for sharing your passion with us, I'm new to this beautiful hobby and look forward to your videos!
Greetings from Ireland, your garden is lovely and easy plant's that I would recommend are orvala, daylilies, companula, brook's thistle, astrantia, any cranesbill hardy geranium's and theres lots more.
Hi Marta, Heucera in the UK is very prone to vine weevel in pots but does better in the ground rather than in the pots, and yes hostas are very attracted to the many slugs and snails in the uk. However I do have both but plant where I can keep them happy.
Marta, I appreciate the emphasis on garden plants, soil preparation and care, design and problem solving. You’re inspiring me for gardening here, in zone 6b, Connecticut, USA.
I love your cool color scheme! In addition to your list I would add pincushion flower, scabiosa. Oh my! Mine just kept blooming all summer long. I have two, but next year I hope to add five more to create a small hedge effect. Ajuga is another easy plant to grow. I have Black Oyster and Feather Friends Fancy Finch. They are a great groundcover to keep the weeds away. Lastly, coneflowers. They come in so many colors now. Daisies aren't reliable for me in zone 4b so these are a great substitute. I revamped a long-neglected garden this summer and was able to "shop" for plants among my inventory. They are flourishing with good soil amendments and no weed competition. Coneflowers, nepeta, Siberian iris, allium bulbs. I also bought many other plants and shrubs. I look forward to completing this renovation next year. Can you tell, I like cool colors? 😊
I agree... but my brunnera self seed. My are just green, and I want to switch them with a jack frost type, I think. I love Rozanne... my husband teases me about them. I love flox or Phlox depending on where you are from... and they make me so utterly happy. I have some asters that look like they split in the middle, and I was thinking it was time to divide them, but perhaps if I chelsea chop as you say, that will be enough. Asters are so worth having in the garden. I have decided though, that as I love fall colors, many of my asters now are oranges and yellows.
I live in SC as well! We have deer in our yard daily, but they never touch my hostas! Maybe it's the type I have? I'm not sure of the name but they are variegated.
We gardeners need to be sure to educate people on weather zones! Zone 9 in California is very diff than in Florida, so let's mention this for less frustration.
Hi Marta thank you. Yes, all great choices! I have new England asters and this year they're opening very late ...also, something ate at my Brunnera leaves all summer! I could not find any bugs on it and have no idea what keeps eating but leaving everything around it. Any ideas?
@@pamd1861Hi, the snails are usually feeding themselves at night. During the day they're mostly well hidden. I look for them with a flashlight when it's dark. Best wishes!
I planted Catmint in my front garden and it attracts all the neighbourd cats. They eat it and get high. They can often be seen rolling around on my drive . They all come for their fix. I hadnt bargained on that when I planted it. Its lovey but I love birds so can't plant it in my back garden where the bird feeders are. Just saying you need to like cats if you plant it....
I wish that people would also use the proper names for plants, because so very many have different names in different places. For example the are 170 species of aster.

Lillies and lilacs are my favorite too.
Brunera has such delicate, tiny flowers and the hummingbirds love them!😊
Rozanne is my all time favorite, too. 4 feet by 4 feet. Huge❤️
I have 15 plants.
Hello Marta, i love you beatiful garden🌷
Hello Marta, I loved your presentation on the 7 best perennials to grow in my garden. I have sedums that have just bloomed. Beautifully. But are flopping over. I've tied it up with string. Very dry soil. Mostly shaded part of the house.
dry soil is perfect for sedum. but shade is not good. they need full sun.
I would add Astrantias to the list. Perfect for shade and semi shade places. Looks great with ferns, hostas and Heucheras
I like your choice of plants. On point! thank you. and: nice dress!

Acanhus are great perennials, exotic looking, very hardy, great multipliers,
I have great success with salvias. They are easy to take cuttings too. I’m in Adelaide Australia which has a climate similar to the Mediterranean.
I love your colour combinations. Gorgeous garden !
I love your plants. Beautiful
Great list! The slugs ate my asters to the ground 😢
Fleablane is a wonderful little plant
Giant Anise Hyssop - turned up as a volunteer in my foundation last year. It survived a period of -42C last winter, and when in bloom always has bees feeding on the nectar. It has become my favourite plant.

I love pulmonarias especially how they go from blue, purple, and pink. Love your list of planta
Love them all have them all
Great choices Marta thank you from Australia
I like ladies mantle for the leaves & the chartreuse whispy flower spikes are nice in a vase either by themselves or other flowers 👒
Sedum for me, so easy to grow. Thank you for your informative video, always a pleasure to watch. 👏😍👏. Hello from Austria.

I like your choices one of mine in South Texas is the mist flower the butterfly in my garden love it all day.
Love this garden, I have been searching for a while for ideas and this is the best one I have seen on RUclips!
Super , merci Marta for this video ;-)
Catmint (Nepeta Faassenii) - fabulous plant, but in some climates have problems with spider mites and rot on very wet climate (need a very good drainage).
Love this video! Your garden is beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I agree eith you. From your list I have only hostas, but I am just starting my garden.
Love sedum autumn joy...always get good result with Chelsea chop...thank you for your video
What is Chelsea chop??
Loved this video. I enjoyed your flower selections ❤
I have my Sedum plants and Rosanne perennials which you mentioned that I like. 😀
I agree with all your choices! The only plant you mentioned that I don't have yet are the brunnera. I'm hoping to add brunnera to my garden next spring when I rework some of the garden beds. My garden is fairly new but I finally have enough semi shade to plant some brunnera. Take care!

Also variegated liriope, dusty miller, Veronica and stonecrop sedum and salvia grow great for me in Zone 7. Your gardens are beautiful!

I also love penstemon, but sadly, I have none in this garden, which we’ve started from scratch since moving houses two years ago.
It’s very helpful to know the temperature ranges & water requirement that each plant can handle.
I appreciate you listing the plants in your description box 🙏

I have all those except the aster and geranium, added it to my wishlist!
I really like the gaura perennial and yellow yarrow, butterfly weed and blazing star.
Marta, I appreciate the emphasis on garden plants, soil preparation and care, design and problem solving. You’re inspiring me for gardening here, in zone 6b, Connecticut, USA.
Very interesting and love your place
This is helpful I love all this perennial plants
I love your cool color scheme!

Can you tell, I like cool colors? 😊
Will try the Chelsea chop on the Asters ..mine were tall and flopped over with the rain this year 😊
I love all these choices! They grow well for me, too. Rozanne is probably at the top of my list.
Thank you Marta for the informative video. I will also add lavender as an easy care perennial.🌷🌼🌸
Thank you for a very informative video.
Lady’s Mantle. Columbine. Bleeding Hearts. Ruby Coneflower.
Easiest perennials for me are Salvias. Also agapanthus are super low maintenance and of course Dietes like african or japanese irises
Bee balm ❣️
Your garden is stunning! I have Hostas and Brunnera, love them! Looking forward to finding a few that you shared to add to my landscaping!
I love your garden. Gorgeous plants and flowers.

My favorite plant is purple salvia! I don’t like to smell it but it is beautiful.
Hi, I enjoy your video so much! I love iris germanica and Zantedeschia aethiopica, they are trouble free! i live in tuscany, it's like zone 8b
Used to have Roseanne. Nice
I’ve heard wonderful things about catnip
I would add Yarrow on the list. They just bloom from May to Oct non stop. No pests or diseases
I live in S Carolina and hostas are deer candy!
I live in SC as well! We have deer in our yard daily, but they never touch my hostas!
Maybe it's the type I have? I'm not sure of the name but they are variegated.
Up here in the north I call it my gourmet deer food. They only seem to eat the ones not near the house. Oh well they come up again every year.
We gardeners need to be sure to educate people on weather zones! Zone 9 in California is very diff than in Florida, so let's mention this for less frustration.
Hello Marta, i'm glad to find your channel. This video was so interested and helpfuul!! What's your garden's zone?
Which Salvia Is it May Night. Can't understand some of your words. Beautiful garden
April Night
Wyglada pani bosko w tej zielonej sukience 😍 tez chce taką 😃
Martha , do you grow up you plants - from seeds or you buy plants
4:43 What is the other purple flower mixed with the catmint? Its a gorgeous combination.
I think they might be allium or scabiosa, some are more puffy and ball like. Not sure what kind exactly
Allium
I love my asters too, but sadly the bunnies love them more! 😔
And the deer. 😞
thank you for your video. Possible to have the name of each plant on the screen so we know and able to learn more. Mahalo !
Check the description. There is a list, and also a transcript
Hi Marta thank you. Yes, all great choices! I have new England asters and this year they're opening very late ...also, something ate at my Brunnera leaves all summer! I could not find any bugs on it and have no idea what keeps eating but leaving everything around it. Any ideas?
Swelling?
Snails love brunneras very much.
@@beatamateuszczyk9608 hi, but wouldn't I see them on the plants if the snails were there? I check the plants and can't see anything around them?

I planted Catmint in my front garden and it attracts all the neighbourd cats. They eat it and get high. They can often be seen rolling around on my drive . They all come for their fix. I hadnt bargained on that when I planted it. Its lovey but I love birds so can't plant it in my back garden where the bird feeders are. Just saying you need to like cats if you plant it....
Im having trouble growing astrantias from seed.
Does anyone have any tips?
Deer mow my hostas all the time
Hello Marta, Where are you located ? Can you list the plant names for us? I didn't understand the names when you said them.
I saw on a comment that it is under the description of the video (trust me I am hard of hearing and was wishing for a list too).
What variety of Catmint do you recommend?
Purrsian Blue and Cats pajamas are wonderful
What is Chelsea drop?
❤❤❤
Hello Marta
What is the name of that catmint?
I’m not able to grow heuchera. The critters eat them up!
Crizanteme în autumn no need pest
🙏🙏
I wish that people would also use the proper names for plants, because so very many have different names in different places. For example the are 170 species of aster.
Symphyotrichum dumosum -bushy aster :)
