You can grow oleander in you zone, Laura! I am in central Europe, similar winters, like you have. Oleander performs for us traditionally great, when kept inside for winter, in dark, 50 F/ 10 Celsius, it doesn't drop their leaves. In May we put Oleanders outside in containers and it bloooms like crazy till late fall, needs watering similar amount like petunias do. It brings this exotic touch to our garden. Try it, Oleander is great bloomer from May to October.

I was hoping you were going to link that older video about the containers. I tried searching for it, but as you know there are a kajillion videos. haha The thing I was going to look for, was, is there something to do to help the shrubs get to the larger size the first couple years. If you get the quart size, which I have, it seems like it's taking forever to grow. Thanks, Laura! Patiently waiting for your baby girl's birth announcement, too!

Hi, do you know a shrub that looks similar to the little evergreen trees (are these cypressus) in the room behind you, but wich is winterhard in your zone (if it's winterhardy in your zone, than it's in mine, too? I like the shape of it and the colour, too. But if you know just a similar shrub with darker green, it's also okay. But it should stay as small as the ones in your room. Sorry for the bad English.

So interesting to hear how people in different zones view different plants. Here in New Orleans Oleander is basically a weed, they grow on the side of the interstate. But, at the same time we cant grow Dogwood or tulips and I wish we could! Laura, if you could pick any zone to garden in, what would be your perfect zone? I would pick Zone 7, I feel like EVERYTHING grows in Zone 7! #GardenDreams #ZoneJealousy

Just a quick question: You said that the Tortuga Juniper grows well in Zones 2 through 7. I live in Victoria, B. C. which is considered Zone 9. Does that mean that plants, such as the Tortuga Juniper, would not do well in our zone? I have always been confused about plants that are recommended for zones lower than 9 but do not include 9. Hmmm.

Hey Laura! This is a random question off topic from video. BUT! Ive been very curious about your wisteria plant. Has it bloomed for you? I planted one two or three years ago and its growing but no blooms yet. Ive heard it needs to be a more mature plant to bloom? Id love some more info if youve got it! Thanks so much!

Oh my! That Ringo All-star Rose is S T U N N I N G! LOVE the colors and I just adore single roses. and it is hardy in my zone 6 (4-8) That WILL be mine soon! And even though it wasn't one of your talked about plants. the Holy Grail Hibiscus you mentioned would be perfect for my Hummer Garden! WIN-WIN in this video!

It's funny when you mentioned the Oleander as these line the freeways around the Sacramento area in California because they are so low maintenance & very drought resistant! They are so common that most people around this area don't even like them! (although I do like them, especially the pink flowered ones)

Cool thing about the fine line Buckthorn. it honestly also looks amazing as a border plant between you and a roadway. So if you have roses and lilacs and whatever on the edge of your house a buckthorn is akin to a castle spire holly and can be thrust into that fence- line to add to the texture. :D
