15 Perennials for Southern Gardens | Gardening with Creekside

Grab a cup of coffee and your gardening journal because I know you will discover a few plants that you will want to add to your garden!

Great video! Especially in your new digs. The background was so nice and encouraging the spring!
Hi Jenny!!!! Thank you so.much! I am so ready for planting and getting.out in the yard!!! I just planted a tall scented pulls this year so I am excited!!!!!! Hope you guys are all doing well! 💕
Why settle for just one variety of hisbiscus?
Thank you…I have a list and I’m ready for Spring!!
Great list! I now have several more plants added to my plan.
Great ideas to look forward to this next growing season. I wish more garden centers in my area (east Tx) carried PW plants. Thanks Jenny

👋😃
Thank you so much, this will help me tremendously! I am planning landscape for a new children’s advocacy center. It sits on large lot, deer . I would love any advice you can send my way. Zone 8a
Jenny, I have looked everywhere for the SummerSong FireFinch Echinacea on line. Do you have any suggestions on where I can purchase it?
Jenny, you by far are the best at providing information. Most people just post their zone information. You post the full zone information.
Thank you! I plan on ordering several of the plants you mentioned for zone 9.
I really loved this video!! These are what I need in my front flower bed. It gets that hot, hot afternoon sun and sounds like these would do well. I love them all!! I love color in my beds! 🤗❤😊
This was a fantastic list Jenny. Really excited I had some of your recommendations, but also going to rewatch and make a list of your suggestions! I’m in zone 4b so quite a few were applicable to me!
I wish I could find some of those hibiscus. So far I’ve only found tropical one here in southern Louisiana. I hope the ones I planted last year come back up. We are zone 9 here
love it!!! im dreaming of spring
EXCELLENT! Thank you for the great info.
Just a heads up for us southern folks and daylilies. Keep a supply of neem oil as you will encounter leaf rust, which is a special kind of irritation that can make a beautiful plant downright ugly…
Fun video! 🌸🌸💜🌸🌸
Glad to see plants that will perform well in the south. I live in 8a, west central GA. Lots of heat and humidity. What is it about other monardas that you have grown that do not perform well? I grew a tall variety before and it did well. Always came back from seed, just like a good cottage garden plant should. Thanks!
Enjoyed this informative style video especially on plants that do well here in our southern climate, there were a few I will definitely adding to my garden this season. Thank you! 😃
I always see purple when they say blue. Is it just a plant thing or am I color blind, lol
Great information! 💛
No warning about deer eating day lilies? Deer candy.
LOVE this! I have been wishing someone would put out a video geared more for the south. Hope to see more like this in the future.
Blue "Pasta" (Hosta) Jenny? 🤣🤣🤣
Jenny, excellent well thought out plant list. For us Midwest gardens lots of Zone 4 choices. Great video.
This was excellent. Thank you.
Look up Andrew Wommack’s A Better Way To Pray and Within Heaven’s Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
I am now planning on some of the beautiful trees 🌳 and perennial flowers 🌺 🌸 💐 , I need soil erosion plants 🪴 🌱 for our front yard . The tree roots are showing. I also want to buy the blueberry 🫐 bushes in our back yard. Living in our gated neighborhood I know I can camouflage them in our back yard . Our backyard is surrounded by the lake I would like to plant birch trees near our lake I believe they would look beautiful. I loved today’s video and all of the wonderful ideas you showed us today .
Thank you Jenny!!!! I’ve been waiting for this list. #9AHouston is a tough game. Can’t wait to get some of these into my garden.
Thanks for giving such wonderful information about plants that include our(5b) zone! Such a beautiful group of flowers, too!
I am drooling lol. Thanks so much for such a complete list. I am in zone 9 so I will try to pick those appropriate for my area.
Thank you so much beautiful perennials for a zone 9
One of my Red Hot Pokers is on a hill. It’s a showstopper.🔥
Where does one get all of these? Are they all from proven winners direct?
.
Thanks
Thanks so much, Jenny! Great list and, got my screenshots!
Glad you did this!
Thank you! You and Laura are THE BEST! Love you both! I live in Texas and it’s so hard to find plants that will survive our climate here. Just discovered Proven Winners when I ran across the "holy grail" hibiscus. Had no idea there was a whole line of plants! Thank you so much for ALL YOU DO!!
Just one lol!! I want them all!! I live in Alabama with similar temps as you so I wanted all of these!! I planted that grass last year and loved it!!
Speaking of Japanese Beatles please share how you deal with them!! As bad as I dislike using pesticides I succumb to it ever year because so many of my plants would be riddled! I worry about hurting pollinators but I still have some. I usually use seven dust pellets and they really work well but I just wanted your input on it!!
They get all over my roses, black eyed Susan’s, crape myrtles and hibiscus!! I quit growing rose of Sharon because of them!!
The form of this and your other videos is looking more and more like GA videos. Personally, I’m not comfortable with it…
What a great video! I wrote down at least 3 I want to find locally – however, will Creekside be selling all of these?
Love this list – need more southern specific videos – zone 7B here in SC 🙌🏼
Oh, my!!! I can’t wait to visit and pick up a few of these beauties!!!
Great information. My list for the Spring is growing 🤩
While I do appreciate the great information, it’d be great if the plants are showcased more, not just a flash here and a flash there. I had to either rewind or stop the video to get the names. Thank you!
Jenny can you tell me the name of the plant in front of you next to your computer 🌸
So many ideas since I’m also in zone 7b in east TN. The critter resistant plants are what I need. We have many wild rabbits that eat my tender shoots!
Dang! I need to move up north! So many beautiful plants. I still enjoy learning about all of them even though I can’t grow them in my zone 10b. Well… I never know where life will take me one day.
Thank you. I have several of these plants in my garden. Very little care needed.
This came at a perfect time! I just moved from the dry west desert to the north border of Alabama/Georgia. The previous owners planted gorgeous bright pink roses with deep purple foliage in the front yard but we’ve been warned of the deer. I plan to move these to the backyard which is fenced in but I really wanted a similar colored plant to replace them in the front. The hibiscus you mentioned sounds perfect! There are quite a few other plants I screenshot as well for future reference.
