Best Echinacea Varieties // Coneflower Trial Results // Yanking Coneflowers In A Panic! 

Your enthusiasm is contagious!

Watching you explain to your husband why you need to divide new plants is everything!!!! I felt you so deeply in that moment 🤣

Love seeing your children involved!! Just noticing the butterflies with appreciation (whatever their names) is wonderful. Your love and enthusiasm for gardening makes me hopeful for the future. Thank you.

Great information! Your garden looks spectacular!!! Great energy! As always love your videos and your hubby's background comments! I'm so glad I found you guys!

You are a wealth of information! Is your hubby just picking on you or just a jerk? You go girl I have the same passion as you never a enough plants or flowers!👍😎❤️❤️❤️

My mountain mint is blooming and is positively swirling with pollinators. Its an excellent plant that smells great!! Excellent show!

This young woman is so cute and passionate about her garden, husband is hilarious. Great video. Thank you

Plant milkweed. You will get the monarchs your daughter wants. Its cool to see their whole life cycle.

I am so glad I found your videos! You are such a hard worker and informative. Everything is beautiful! Looking for more coneflowers. Thank you for your gardens !!!

My goodness your gardens are beautiful I must put in cornflowers thank you for all the. Information regards from the South East Coast of Ireland 🇮🇪

Garden looks great and you two remind me of me and my hubby. He recently sent me an image of a guy on the side of the curb with a sign that read "Need money! Not poor wife keeps buying plants"

I will be taking your advice & adding in coneflowers. Your gardens are amazing

You look very pretty today; love the earrings!

Beautiful yard. Love the Baja coneflower. 👀❤️

I love the intro where it looks like you have pajama bottoms on and you are shoveling dirt--that's me!! I just LOVE all your videos and you are so full of knowledge. I agree Coneflowers are the best for pollinators as well as length of color in the summer.

LMBO. My husband and I love watching your videos. Not only are your gardens beautiful, your information helpful but the byplay between you and your husband is highly entertaining. My pollinators are buzzing around my gardens right now. Their favorite flowers are Lantana, rose of Sharon, cone flowers, sunflowers and crocosmia. I purchased some new cone flowers this year and have tiny seedlings started as well. Thank you both for your videos. B n R Zone 8 South Mississippi

I bought the same butterfly bush you raved about in your garden tour video this weekend and I can't wait to plant it! Love your videos.!

Beautiful garden! You guys made me laugh 😂. Glad I found your channel😍

I just planted Lakota Santa Fe! So many pretty varieties !!

You two are adorable!! Great job!! And BTW never too many 🦋

Watched this video when it first come out and loved it but never commented. Just watched it now again because i just love Echinacea. And last year I winter sowed the purple in the milk jugs and they did great. This year I planted more purple and did white swan also in the milk jugs and their sprouting!! Read the article and great information I learned alot. And yess butterflies are our passion. This was one of my favorite videos!!

So nice to see my twin in “ always buy more plants “ 😂 never enough. And my husband he was always complaining but now he is tired and just making jokes about my new plants.

Great video. Love your gardens.

Omg. 🗣He have to live you along. You doing wonderful. You garden look beautiful. 🙊🙉👍👀

Wow your garden 🪴 so beautiful 😻

I love your channel, glad I stumbled upon it! I didn't know that certain coneflowers were better than others, definately going to get some in the top ten ✌️💚💚🙏🙏🙏

I like her passion i could listen to anyones passion with gardening all day long mabe because i got that passion too 😅😂

Very informative video Nice sharing

New watcher and thank you for sharing. I have added already some of tge same plants you have in your garden and really good information. Looking forward to the heliopsis bleeding heart. Hopefully you believe that copying is the sincerest flattery. My compliments to your husband he does ask very good questions, even though I suspect he knows more than he let's on. I look forward to your other programs.

Most Echinea is also great for herbal remedies. Pick plenty and it'll give you a good excuse to plant more!

I usually wear gloves when I am out and about in the garden .... so when I come across a Japanese Beetle ... I will catch them and smash them between my fingers .... I also have the trap out .... last year I nearly filled two bags full ... so this year ... so far ... I have way less of a half-of-a bag full ..... hoping that next year I won't see any ..... !!!

Your gardens are Beautiful!

Watching you makes me laugh because u are the person that is trapped inside me... I live in an apartment in houston tx and am dying for gardens and pollinators... I live through you with every video!

Hahhhaaa you guys are hilarious! I feel like you, defending my plant purchases to my husband as well! He says our back patio is starting to look like an old lady's house with all the pots we have 😆

Love all the coneflowers! I'm going to start a bed for pollinators. Love your blouse and earrings!! Thanks!

I love the back and forth banter between you too!

Great video! Love your garden. I love the way cone flowers add so much color to our gardens and take so little effort! Amazing plants! Enjoy your day! 🌸

We always need TONS of Butterflies 🦋🦋🦋 and Bees 🐝🐝🐝 💕

I agree with you and the Japanese beetle they are not native! my biggest pest is the cucumber beetle we squish the ones we find as well! We had a butterfly bush get taken over by painted lady caterpillars they went to town eating the plant. I let them because well… butterfly bush 🤷🏻‍♀️ once the caterpillars were gone I cut down the eaten branches and it is going through its second bloom and doing lovely! Bugs are going to bug! Thank you for all this info I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel!!!

I purchased Pixie Scarlet last year…I put three in…they are GORGEOUS this year!! I’ll have to pay better attention, and see if they’re attracting pollinators or not!

Love coneflowers. Got lots this year!

So sweet sharing 👍👍💖💖👍👍

“Have little bug sex”… LOL!! I just got 3 for $10 of the boring pink coneflower at Lowe’s! I’m going back for the pow wow white. Your passion… love it! 🌺

Thank you for linking the article.

I love coneflowers. What about all the little houses in your gardens. Can you do a video on those please. Thank you for sharing your garden.

“Butterflies are really just freeloaders!” 🦋👀 🤣

I love coneflowers and this information is so useful. You and your husband are adorable. I want to hang out with you two!

You say butterflies are a passion and he continues to be condescending about them, I’m sorry I enjoy your excitement and passion for pollinators as I share the same passion, we need them they are vitally important to our ecosystem ❤

You guys are awesome! Coneflowers have begun blooming here in Louisiana zone 8. Do you fertilize them in the Spring?

Beautiful garden. But I have to disagree, purpurea isn't boring, it's the best! Also @17:02 they absolutely do have a wonderful sweet fragrance, at least purpurea does. I can smell mine from 5 feet away. I agree with you, butterflies are the best! Next year I'm gonna try raising Monarchs, since I think the birds got all my caterpillars this year. Fun fact: the variegated fritillary's scientific name comes from the Greek word meaning "easily scared" 🙂

I have to say I cannot stop laughing.

Thanks for the article!

🦋🦋🌸🦋🦋BEAUTIFUL ‼️🦋🦋🌺🦋🦋

Do you have any milkweed planted as a host for the monarch butterfly? You will see monarchs all over your yard if you do. Your garden is beautiful!

Get that lady some Fragrant Angels! Great video!

i have the same rabbit problem. It helps when I stay Plantskydd. Problem is getting around to it with the big pump sprayer. I think I will buy a smaller spray bottle just for echinacea.. and go-ahead plant those gorgeous coneflowers again..

"How many butterflies do we need around here" hahaha

Bev Olson Guiding Green Thumbs Thanks for your expression of how you felt about the echinaea's that you felt you had to pull out because you thought they were at risk. It helped me because I see you care about your plants and you are positive that they will live to go back in the ground. Thanks. I had to shift a cone flower and I have been working at shading it every day to give it a chance mid summer. My husband also teases me and it is quite demeaning for me . So I stand tall against it. Everything you say is good and my message to husband is CUT IT OUT. I guess he dosn't realise his comments are unecessary. He could turn the video off and ask you if he can say something. So this is for him. Shh because your good woman has to work too hard to to compensate for your put downs Bev

You are amazing!!

Tell your husband that your supporting local business so they can feed there families!...it might work...🤣..beautiful garden ..and thanks for all the info...I bought Fragrant Angel this year from mail order and she was quite small..I bought most from a local nursery and so far 2 are not what they are supposed to be..oh well..Wellsweep Herb Farm is where I got Fragrant Angel...enjoy your Summer!

Teeeeheeee.."Sooooo butterflies are Really just freeloaders?!!!" Hilarious great video!!!

Your gardens are beautiful! I'm so glad I found your channel and I'm taking notes. I just have to ask a non-flower question. Where did you find your whirligig? I need it in my life!!

I hope you’re collecting seeds. I never purchase plants... I grow them. Keep growing. 🌱🙏🏻

Good so hopefully you have beehives. With all these pollinators, you would have some fantastic Honey

Your husband sounds just like mine. I liked butterflies so I started a flower garden that just keeps getting larger. My husband mocks me oh you must have it for the butterflies and bees.

I don’t know what is going on, but I have almost no butterflies this year!

Thank you for another great video. Research is the spice of life for gardening and trial and error. Just bought some sombera red and orange. It’s hot here and I have nothing but sun. Should I plant them now or just wait? And if I plant what would you recommend for care for temps in 3 digit.

Japanese beetles are super a-holes. I have a bucket of soapy water that I bring around, knock them into it and let them drown 😬 They are more attracted to my grandpa ott morning glories than anything else in my gardens, so if you have the time to manage a million morning glory seedlings every spring it can help to keep them away from your other plants. 😅

Did you trim or cut back your echinacea or cone flowers in the early spring to keep them from getting super tall?

When are we going to have a update on the new barn ?

What is the name of your poppies where do you but your seed since my grandson past away I can’t think on what I should I live in 7B when should I start to plant my flower seeds judy

I love coneflowers, but I have a tough time with rabbits, eating them. Any suggestions?

Echinacea is a medical plant for humans, bugs and insects, so are other types of flowers like Hyssop officialis which actually heals them.

I love your gardens and very much enjoy hearing you speak so knowledgeably and passionately about your gardens - it’s why I subscribed, however, I do not enjoy your husband’s misogynistic and negative comments towards you - whenever he is involved in filming his comments inevitably turn to: “how much of MY money did you spend? Why are you buying more of that plant? It’s a good thing you are beautiful or you wouldn’t get away with spending that much money. When are you going to start making money on these plants?” Some commenters say it’s sarcasm on his part; even if this was the case there is truth in sarcasm. The fact he often has you responding defensively to his sarcasm and eventually becoming frustrated and/or diverting the conversation speaks to you being well versed in how to deal with these controlling behaviors. I know that just one person not watching videos with your husband involved means nothing but I feel listening to him treat you this way condones his behaviors. I do to hope to see more videos featuring only you giving us garden updates and sharing your wisdom. Your joy in the garden is positively contagious. I also hope your channel continues to succeed and the money you earn from the channel is acknowledged as your earned income.

Do you think you can do a video if you decide to grow echinacea from seed ? I plan on trying it this winter . I ordered some seeds from swallow tail seeds this fall , I am looking forward to it.

beautyfull

what butterfly was that

There are quite a few fragrant varieties of echinacea.

Can you show how you grow coneflower from seed? I never have luck with this.

Hey! you two, I enjoyed the video. I tried coneflowers this year and last year no luck. This last time I put them in compost and when I put miracle grow on them and it turned them black and they died. Last year I took them in the house to over winter them and that didn't work too. So I will again try again next year but I will put them in the ground and wait to give them miracle or should not when they are big? Oh!! and as your husband always says you and your garden look great, I like the high lights, it looks great. 😊

BAHAHAH…. AFTER 12 years, my hubby has given up on asking me why I bought any plant. I bought 78 plants in one day about six weeks ago. I just bought 25 more today. I’m going back tomorrow because this nursery is closing, all plants 75% off!

I love coneflowers and I had planted many in my garden, but for some reason, the rabbits keep eating them to the ground and I am tired of spraying a repellent. ☹️😞 Great video!

Doubles in flowers dont attract pollinators, because the reproduction organs like pollensack mutated into petals. They often dont carry nectar or pollen at all. Often arent able to carry seeds too

what do you do about rabbits with the echinacea?

do you put mulch in your garden??

GIRL MATH!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe it’s just me judging from the comments, but the husband is eye-roll inducing. “How many butterflies do we need, around here?” The embodiment of dad jokes. Cringey as the kids say these days. 🙄

Japanese beetles are bad here in Kentucky, too. They will completely ruin your plants - ALL of them. Some overnight!

is that your real eye color or they contacts?

I can't get coneflowers to survive.

Do you dead head your coneflowers, and if you do do they flower more?

I love your video as, they are always so informative, but I would love them more if you could ask your husband to stay muted.

Hi new subscribers

Why not to grow them from seeds? Thats much cheaper.

They are floating flowers.

No Cheyenne Spirit??!!!

Tragedy equals opportunity. Lol

Hey, camera guy. I hope you appreciate that beautiful wife. 💋

Love your show. Can you please redesign your logo please. Looks like mutant fingers!
