I love this channel. HortTube with Jim Putnam is great for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. I have a bit more experience with gardening and find that some of the gardening shows are a bit too basic. Whenever I watch this channel, I learn something new. It has become my favorite Gardening show. Thanks so much and keep up the good work. For all you watchers, if you like this channel, then please like the videos so that this channel gets more support. I don't want this channel to ever go away!

I literally just got home from jc raulston LOL. Love that place

Me too!

I watched this on the big screen but discovered I couldn’t give it a thumbs up in that format, so here I am, doing my part to say thanks!!

Steph, Jim, Mark: I greatly appreciate the collective hundreds of thousands of hours of study, planting, watering, waiting, digging, observation, travel, etc. you bring to this inspirational video. Gardening in the dry and damp shade are the norm for my neighborhood; recently, I joined my neighborhood’s Landscape Committee and am excited to share your channel, this episode, and my own 12-year-gardening, full of successes and failures, adventure. 🌸🐝

Hooray for plant nerds = my people!!!

yall were talking about podocarpus and when i went to the golden gate san fransisco garden they have a collection of them and they were such neat looking plants.... i was so impressed with them and wish we could grow more species of them.. i'm guessing that not many of them will work here in georgia that well but they sure were great looking and interesting plants..

Great walk about. So happy to see varieties of some of my favorites. Thank you.

Great video! Lots of ideas and information for shade plants. I enjoy your videos with Mark!

Lots of great information, Mark is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks Jim!

Thanks for the ideas for mom's dry shade!!!!

Hello Mr, Jim Putnam and Stephany. Thank you for taeching about the green plants 🌿 for off season .Helped me a lot.

Fantastic video! I have so much dry shade! I will be on the hunt for some of these! Thank you To both of you!!

Really enjoying this so much, thank you!

I am a member of the arboretum and so much to see. I love seeing the videos pin pointing the types of plants and their locations for my next visit.

Love the plant enthusiasm. I've been growing Carex scaposa in a pot for about 3 years but I learned something today. Thank you.

Ah, finally, great ideas for under my hardwood trees..especially nice to add some interest and color in the winter time.. great episode ..Thanks for sharing

Very nice, lot's of my favorites & a couple to try. Thanks guys!

I have a Peris and a Podacarpus in full sun (zone 8a) and they are very naturalized. The bees LOVE the Peris and we have to wait until they're done with the flowers before we can trim it each year.

Thanks Jim. I’ve add a few names to my list.❄️💚🙃

My meager half acre lot has several trees nearly a century old, so it's mostly dry shade I'm gardening in. I've recently fallen in love with cast iron plants, which I'm surprised are surviving fine in zone 7.

I have some I got from a garden in Hawaii that sat outside in my NC garden for years, now they live in my house and basement here in southern Ohio. Slooooooow grower, but looks better and better every year. I have a spotted one two, called Milky Way, iirc.

Jim, Thank you. Thank you! for showing plants that championed through our cold spells. I appreciate seeing damaged plants next to thriving. You offer us real-world teaching. Thank you!

These are fantastic ideas for western Washington (8b), where we have lots of shade and a summer drought season. Can't wait to try Carex scaposa; thanks for the growing tips.

Love the cast iron plant!

Oh I love the leaves under the oak tree they are magnificent !!! Wish I could go visit … Mark is the best!!! 💚💚💚🤍🤍🤍 great video!!! 🌺🌸🪴🌿🌳💚🤍🍀

I’ve needed this video for years. Thank you

Thank you! Always looking for new dry shade ideas here in 8a NC. Very informative 👍

Thank you. Very informative video

Hello! This is a very interesting video! Thanks for the valuable information. Good luck to all👍🌻💙💛🌿

Very helpful. I’ve been way to timid about pruning!

Beautiful selection 💕

WoW...Great information 🌱

NICE! a couple of new varieties to me ❤

enjoyed the tour! and love the hat, too ☺

Very insightful as usual. It is so helpful to focus videos on a theme, e.g. dry shade, rather than scatter shot, here is an interesting plant, here is another one although I am all in favor of interesting plants! I didn't have much luck with cyclamen in my 6b woodland (planted bare root) but I am going to try again.

I’m in the Memphis area. I lost about 75% of my plants. It’s a tough pill to swallow. 😞 I’m hearing from others in my area that the cold took even established evergreens.. things that have never before shown damage.

I'm also in Memphis & my shrubs that have been in the ground for 5 years are brown & crunchy or are mostly bare twigs. Newer plants are black (those are not going to survive). I even used frost blankets on the days & nights that were extremely cold. I won't do anything until late February to mid March. I've been surprised before when plants that looked absolutely dead came back.

I'm just south of you in Oxford MS. Many of my shrubs are crispy brown, too, but I am going to wait and see whether they leaf back out before I do anything. I am surprised at some of the plants that started to snap back last week in the warm weather. Going home at lunch today to inspect the garden.

Thanks all. I definitely won’t remove anything now. Some plants are still internally green and might come back. Unfortunately everything is new (new house) so they’re less likely to survive than others.

I am also in your area, in Olive Branch, and the foundation plants we planted in late August look pretty rough, and the lemon lime nandinas and sunshine ligustrum have lost most of their leaves...Will wait and see.

Great info.

4:20 I love parking lot plants. gotta get me some saruga benton

Wonderful informative video. This will help me a lot with what to plant in my dry shady yard & woodland. Thanks so much. Hopefully most are deer resistant.

Why should exotic non-native plants be everywhere? We have an insect crisis. Please promote more native plants and explain why. 🙏🏾💜 I have a dry, shaded hill full of gorgeous, hardy native plants with evergreens as well. Thank you! Check out Doug Tallamy’s project: Homegrown National Park.

Love this video follow jc arboretum also. Not many for my some 5 Indiana garden but a few a plan to add

I think it’s worth trying some of these plants that you like along your foundation/ protected areas of your yard. Wind is probably your biggest enemy. The cast iron plants grow great for me in 6a along my north & east microclimates.

Jim didn't know you were so tall . Now that I've seen you standing near Mark who is 6'4" i believe. Really will help me with plant heights when i see you next to them. And yes always thank you so much for taking advantage of and showing the respect of other plantsmen like JC Raulston aboretum. I follow there information as well as my favorite Plant Delights nursery and botanical gardens. 🍀

Jim has mentioned in past videos that he’s 6’ tall.

So helpful! Thank you! I wish I was in zone 7 not 6a :)

Please do a show on broadleaved evergreens for wet locations!

Going hunting for somemplants after seeing this 👏😄👍

My summer/fall plants from 2022 took a hit but I was surprised that 3 out 4 Oakland Holly got hit by the cold event. They have been in the ground 2 yrs so I think they will be okay.

In Louisville Ky the winter freeze has taken 7-8 mature Aucubas and 15 Cherry Laurels that were age 2 to 8 years old. I am so discouraged with the state of my gardens. 😢

I bought a potted cyclamen during the holidays from Walmart. After seeing it in the video, when is the the best time to plant it in my shade garden(8a)?

Can you plant the bell plants or whole off still spring or lemon grass

My soft caress mahonia (planted 1 month ago) lost a lot of leaves during the recent cold snap. Should I just leave it until spring?

Beautiful plant at 26:12 that’s definitely not a ninebark- what is it?!

I have a couple of my bulb plants sticking up out of the ground, I think a squirrel displaced the bulb, should I recover the greenery with mulch or dig deeper and hope it goes back dormate for another month or so. I'm not sure if it's a daffodil or allium. I'm incentral Indiana

Great video and good to have Mark with you. When I moved to NC from India some years back, Mark’s book was my Bible …. Still is!😊

One Weird Trick! Landscapers Hate This! Use Beer On Your Aspidistra! Great video, thanks for focusing on this often perplexing area of the garden.

Now what about the berries would birds eat abs spread the acuba?

Jim, You may want to let folks know that ya'all were just kidding when you said you could water Cast Iron plants w/ beer dregs. Something tells me there's a few out there that took ya'all seriously. 😉

This is the year I am adding cyclamen to my garden.

I love podocarpus are there any that will survive zone 6A. I've tried a couple but to no luck. It's the same with acuba and flaming silver pieris. After the Xmas freeze I noticed my mahonia fried along with the 40 foot bissett bamboo forest fried but yet the needle palms and sabal minor are untouched???? Palms more cold tolerant than all the above lmao makes no sense??? I'm in zone 6A 2400 feet in far southwestern Virginia and I truly don't think palms belong here but you'd think the other things mentioned would? Plants they make no sense some times but I'm hooked!

👍👍👍

Hi everyone- at 26:05 is this also an Asarum Maximum? The leaves look a bit different?

These guys sound so similar.

🙋

Does anyone know what that spotted plant is in the background in the intro? Looks like a cast iron plant.

Hm, aren't you lucky to have all these plants to use in your zone 7? What about not so lucky who lives in zone 6 ? What can we plant in those areas?

Are they related? They have the same voice.

No, no, no. No one has killed more plants than me. My plants wilt in fear at the sight of me.

This is a sad and short sighted presentation. I find it very concerning that these University botanical gardens are so focused on non-native species primarily. The mahonia in particular is invasive and shouldn't be recommended.
