  • Wastching this in 2024 and can't wait to make the move to PNE in 2025! Will be visiting Sunny Crest Nursery and buying for sure!

    This is one of the best groundcover videos I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much :-)
  • Thank you for your video! I am a landscaper in the DC area, planting for clients who have million-dollar yards, and your video(s) inform my decisions for customers. Further evidence that landscaping isn't just about knowing the scientific name and zone for a plant; it is mostly about matching a client's needs to plant characteristics.

  • Thank you for all the additional tips on planting and how tos. I truly enjoy watching your videos & only wish I could plant some of these plants where Im at but being in a zone 9 well I am some what limited 😊 sending you blessings
  • Vinca Minor, is a great ground cover, also. And, one type has purple - blue flowers that bloom nearly all year around. 👍
  • These are some great options. Irish moss is actually not a true moss and does best in at least part sun (although afternoon shade in hot climes is best). Ajuga is versatile in its light requirements. It can grow in full sun as well as shade.

    Love it that your rooster is loud from south Florida. So he makes your garden tropical - nice

    Scelaranthus Biflorus and Unifloris are fabulous! Native to my home (New Zealand and Australia). It looks great in Japanese style gardens as it creeps over rocks and created shapes and mounds. It survived minus -10C (-23F) frost in NZ and 40F (104F) heat in the searing Australian sun.
  • I’m not sure how you ended up in my suggested vids, but talk about perfect timing! The campground here in Tn has SO many areas that need ground over, and I’m so glad I found you! Great video and content. I love the background noises...it sounds like a great relaxing place to sit and and have a cup of tea with a friend.

    Just great Debbie. Love your presentations and your lovely attitude. Plant info is good and not too long, thankfully. Good, solid info and very much appreciated! Bless you!
  • @DeanaESayles
    THANK YOU . YOU ALWAYS GIVE LOTS OF INFORMATION!!!!!
  • @rosaharitos
    Thank you so much for this video- I recently moved to WA and learning what works and what doesn't-will be following your channel.
  • @debzfiedler6100
    HA! I was just about to post a comment using almost the exact same wording as Robert J, who beat me to it by about 2 days. Thank you so much for this very useful/helpful commentary.

    The lingonberry is growing wild in forests in northern Sweden and thrive in soil with low PH. We pick them and use in jam with meat or porridge. The jam is tart and considered a delicacy. I live in Iceland and have recently bought Scleranthus, I’m going to plant them in sand in between large stones, hopefully its going to survive the winter here in 🇮🇸, even if it could be down to -15C cold here.

    Great video, thanks been trying to out compete with crab grass. Think I'll try blue and white star creeper
