Northeastern native plant digest
United States
Приєднався 6 гру 2011
Hello, and welcome to my channel. I've loved the outdoors ever since I was a child. I was the little kid picking up Toads, Snakes and Grasshoppers. I've also been gardening in one form or another since I was a teenager and have always enjoyed working outside. I started transitioning to native plants as I became more aware of the complex relationship that exists between plants, insects and the environment. I am committed to creating native habitat in my yard and I hope you will do the same with yours. You can make a difference and planting plants that are native to your area is one of the best ways you can help. I hope you find my videos enjoyable and informative. Thanks for visiting my channel and please subscribe, like and share.

Switch Grass - An important native grass for many reasons
They grow just fine against my brick garage wall in full hot sun. We're in our third year of extreme drought and i havent watered them. Mine do flop.
İ love mine. Thanks for the comment
Thank you! I always loved golden rod. Nice to hear someone point out their positive aspects.
Thanks for the comment.
Lupine are a keystone species in some part of the country, and they're one of the most beautiful flowers out there. They're also incredibly easy to grow from seed, which means if you can't find the right species in the store, you can find nearby wild populations and collect just a few seeds (ethical guideline is to make sure you're not taking more than 1/10th of the seeds you fine- and with lupine, just a few seeds is enough) and grow those in your garden, and then get subsequent generations of lupine from the seeds from your own plants. This also helps preserve local genetic diversity. I'm on my third generation of yellow bush lupine in my yard.
Hi there, do you know if ironweed will bloom first year from your experience? I have two small ironweeds I winter sowed they are just now starting to pick up a little bit and put on some growth, not sure if they will bloom this year or not
First year probably but they're worth the wait! Thanks for the comment
GREAT ASSORTMENT I will be planting some in mine😊 thank you 💚
Thanks for the comment
Found a patch in the woods behind me. Will keep an eye out for the berries to mature. I'd love to have red admirals in the yard!
I HAVE THEM, WILDLIFE LOVES THEM 🦋🐞🐝
Can we call it ‘kitty toes’?
That's fine with me..lol
Just found a garden center that had some, so I got three small pots. Glad to hear that it divides easily and grows fast because I've wanted it as a ground cover for awhile! Hopefully I can get it planted tomorrow, but I might divide up the plants and put them in smaller pots for awhile just so I have more to put in the ground!
I estimate my red milkweed at 50% of its bloomlife and it still gets lots of wild bees coming in for a sip! I wish I had larger real estate for even more swamp milkweed and other native plants!
I just planted this a few months ago. We've hit a heat wave but I've been keeping with watering it daily, if not every other day because I read they can tolerate wet feet. I wonder if I'm drowning it though by trying to water it a ton because of the heat, or, maybe it needs even more water?? -- one side of the shrub looks crispy brown like it was scorched by the sun but the other side is green and it even has some pink flowers already! It faces north but gets some dappled shade from a tall silver maple we have.
Will this plant rebloom if I dead head it? Thank you for the video. The one I have is purple but I like the white too.
Hi. İt might, I've never actually tried that. Thanks for the comment.
Does it spread or is it a small clump-forming plant?
Thanks for the comment. İ had a couple come up from seed but the main plant hasn't spread for me yet
@@Jem544thank you.
Should I deadhead?
The problem is they mostly sell the white cultivars in my local nurseries. I try to buy the originals online but they never seem to transplant well with the ones I'm getting and it doesn't seem to seed well unfortunately. I do have plenty of white ones I guess
I have a different kind of mountian mint that I started from seed this year. Do you know where one can buy seeds for the kind you are growing?
Try prairie moon nursery online.
Thank you for sharing this important knowledge! I hope to harvest some of the milkweed seeds on my property later this year
Great video!
Would love to see an update!
I can’t find anyone who has actually made tea out of it. Kinda crazy that no one has been curious enough to try it given the name lol. I bought two bushes though, so I’ll have to test it out
I'm to addicted to my coffee İ guess.....lol
leaf cutter bees enjoy this plant
Love mine! So pretty, smells nice and saw lots of little bees and small butterflies on mine.
Thanks for the knowledge ✌🏻💨732nj
Many years ago I heard the saying “First year it sleeps, second year it creeps, third year it leaps!” I have found this to be true with perennials…usually takes them three years to come into their own! Hard to wait but so worth it! Thank you for the videos!
Thanks for the comment.
A bird planted some in my backyard! 🐦
Thanks for the comment.
I'd like to try again. Do you have a video or can you recommend a video that details how to transplant the dwarf crested iris - How to dig them up and replant? This is a novice asking with no familiarity of transplanting this flower. Or if any viewer can direct me to such a video? Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. You can dig them up and replant in the spring or fall but when replanting them don't completely cover the roots. Plant the rhizome about half way under the soil. İf they have leaves fully formed you can cut them back by half. Water well once you replant them.
Gosh such a beautiful garden would love an update on it:)
How long did it take for you to get caterpillars on your milkweed?
How’s your milkweed doing now? Would love a update!
Will this over compete with asters? Is little/big bluestem aggressive? The local nursery told me it'll take over my native flowers
İ haven't found it to be aggressive at all. İt's clump forming it doesn't spread by underground rhizomes.
@@Jem544 nice thank you!
Better start planting those oaks!! There is no plant more caterpillar friendly than the mighty oak. Basically trees are what you want if you want to help more than a few caterpillars.
Exactly! Thanks for the comment.
Do rabbits eat them? How wide do they get? Also when you say wasps, do you mean yellow jackets? Thank you for your video.
Rabbits don't seem to bother and no to the yellow jackets. Thanks for the comment
Oh wow I did not realize they got this big! I’m growing them from seed this year!
Thanks for the comment.
Hi! I live in S Manitoba. Was mowing the grass on a lot, noticed their colors, looked up the plant and here I am:) Thanks, I plan on digging the little plant up and moving yo sunny, dry part of my yard!
Thanks for the comment. That's awesome!
Thank you so much for planting , educating, and sharing! Very cool and interesting. Thanks again!
I found one of these at Lowes in the clearance section 3 yrs ago (NEOhio). It did well until ths year when it looked AWFUL. I dug it up and put it in a pot with nice soil and gave it a "rejuvenation prune". In a week it looked great again! It is back in the ground next to a stunning purple lupine.
That's awesome! Glad it recovered 😊
Another native burning bush is wahoo, its super hard to find at nurseries, but has a growth form that reaches sizes closer to and beyond the invasive kind :)
Love It ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the comment.
I have a lot in the woods around my home. Some are very large. Just a note, it’s poisonous, but apparently edible if cooked properly. Not that much Denver risked it!
Thanks for the comment. I'll pass on eating it.. lol
It took me a while to get the soil right for blueberries and huckleberries.
Yea, my highbush blueberries are doing great. The lowbush died out. I'll definitely try them again. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the video! Mine are planted next to ironweed. They bloom together, are equally tall (stakes needed), and complement beatifully.
Looking for videos about your pond. It looks very natural.
I have one growing for the first time! I'm pretty excited! They are such a unique plant! My garden isn't all that wet, so I hope it can survive! I didn't realize they were so tall! Does the foliage stick around, or die back?
Hi. The foliage should stick around if they have moisture and the flowers will give way to beautiful red seeds. Nice fall color! Good luck and thanks for the comment.
Great for our crap uk climate Idiot proof. Thanks for the dead head tip for a second flush. Got mine growing in a bag of water logged ericaceous resting on the soil with slits in the botom to let the roots out. Available with white flowrs too. You can also grow in hanging baskets, lined to stay wet. If you buy bare root plant on-line leave in a glass of (rain)water to encourage root growth before planting. Will also grow in the ground away from the pond if you have heavy soil and a wet climate. So easy for total dummies. 😅😅 like me.
I just found one of these on my walk today. r/whatisthis identified it for me
But it does grow in the mountains. It is a common plant in the Blueridge and Appalachian Mountains.
Are rabbits a problem. 0:40
Thanks for the comment. I haven't noticed any rabbit damage so far....
Why are my cardinal flower leaves the size of my hand?
Thanks for the comment. I've never seen that happen. To much nitrogen maybe?
Thanks for the video. Always great to see other people who are enthusiastic about plants.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the information! I have masses of them self-seeding and spreading joyously. 😊
Wonderful!
