    I know we are here to talk about flowers but I canโ€™t hear or see anything you are saying because that dresser in the backdrop has caught my complete and total attention!!! I am in love! ๐Ÿฅฐ. The color is amazing!!!๐Ÿ’œ. Ok. Let me start the video over and try to focus!! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’œ
  • Thank you for including plants that grow in a large range of zones. Very helpful to gardeners across America!
  • ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I watch a few YouTubers who sew clothes. Long-bloomers really caught my attention!
  • @sbert127
    This is a great list. One comment: be sure you REALLY like Spiderwort before you plant it since you can never get rid of it. I pull them out all the time and they just keep coming back.
  • Thank you, I really appreciate knowing some of the longest blooming perennials to attract pollinators to my garden, especially the perennials so you don't have to plant them every year!
  • I can only plant deer and rabbit resistant plants, and have dug out a lot of my lilies for this reason. I value anything they donโ€™t touch, and allium is at the top of the list. Serendipity is what I planted. Hellebores are also right up there.
  • What an excellent videoโ€ฆโ€ฆItโ€™s nice to see such enthusiasm in young gardeners. Iโ€™m retired from my nurseries now and make very few videos any longer, but Iโ€™d like to have had half your enthusiasm. Well done, I agree with some of your assessments, even here in the UK, Eupatorium is one of the best attractors of pollinating insects Iโ€™ve ever seenโ€ฆ..there is a smaller version here called Baby Joe, itโ€™s not that much smaller but better for those with tiny gardens. There is a national campaign against Spanish bluebells going on here due to the possibility of them wiping out the native English formโ€ฆ..which is weaker and somewhat one sided. Anywayโ€ฆ..Best wishesโ€ฆ..Malcolm (Plantsmans Corner)

    Amy, you make the best videos. I love how you compared baby joe pyeweed to autumn joy sedum. Perfect description, I have both and your description is spot on. I have most of the plants you mentioned and they all do have long bloom times, I'm in zone 6b.Thank you
  • @claybakin2478
    Thank you very much for this very informative video! I really appreciate that you jumped right into it rather than ramble on like so many YTers! And you moved right through each variety. I have over half of them Iโ€™m happy to say. ๐Ÿ˜Š Youโ€™re lucky to get 8 weeks from the bluebells, I only get 4 if Iโ€™m lucky. I think early spring very warm days does them in sooner. One of my favorites though, I have them naturalizing all over my 1.25 acre property in zone 7a.
  • @sim1travels922
    I really enjoyed that you measured the bloom time of the flowers in your garden! Thanks for the inspiration! I will try to do similar this year for my own garden in the middle of Sweden ๐Ÿ™‚
  • @paull4048
    Thank you so much for this. I have been looking to spruce up my yard and this video has been a fabulous help! You deserve a subscription for this! Looking forward to watching your other videos!
  • Hi, Iโ€™m in Zone 7B, Charlotte, NC and I love all these plants! I grow most of them in my bedding areas. Thank you for mentioning them in this video. Easy to grow and so rewarding in their beauty and care. Many thanks for this wonderful video! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿชด๐Ÿฅฐ

    Great overview and Iโ€™m thinking about plants to add to my newer gardens. Thanks

  • @B30pt87
    Hey, thank you so much for all this information! The length of bloom times (as well as the zones) is very useful. Going to check out your other videos now :)
