My Favorite Shrubs for Hot, Dry Conditions
Ойын-сауық
I’m a huge fan of shrubs in the Southern Living Plant Collection because they can handle hot dry conditions in our Southern gardens. Here is a rundown of some of my favorites that I used here at the cottage. If you can’t find them at your local Nursery, you can always buy them online. #droughttolerant

Visiting our son in Yukon OK and he drove me by Linda’s cottage on the hill this morning and let me tell all subscribers her garden is more beautiful in person!!!!! Simply stunning and lush!!!!
I would go with more of the lemon obelia at the end of lemon lane. I think they will look better by that tree than the larger hydrangeas especially when the tree gets bigger. More hydrangeas may be too much of a good thing. I would mix in a few bricks with the flagstones too on Lemon Lane to tie in with the patio area. 💖😊
Hi Linda, I would continue the white wedding hydrangeas. They look gorgeous in your yard. 🥰
I vote for the lower plants - I think the hydrangeas would block the display of whatever is behind them.
I vote for Hydrangeas
For your lemony lane addition I vote NO to the hydrangeas - will be too much bulk for that area, Continue with your lemony plants instead, and consider adding a few clumps of butter and sugar Siberian iris for a vertical grass like foliage and beautiful delicate spring /early summer flowers .
I could hang with Linda and Stewart all day long! Everything looks so great. Your videos are always so well produced!
Hi Linda, in answer to your question of the day, I would continue the Miss Lemon Abelia. It draws the eye along the little stepping stone pathway and makes sense of it as a connection to the side passage. if you added a few of those Sunshine Ligustrum it would really brighten that spot, especially when your tree grows and casts more shade. I think the location of your White Wedding Hydrangea's, once they grow a touch will add height that will emphasise Lemon Lane as a little mysterious path to explore.
Great to see you give Southern Living credit for their plants
Linda, your garden looks fabulous and so do YOU! 🌹🌸🌺🌷I can’t wait to see what you do with your backyard! Thank you for sharing !

In that skirt, she looks cool as a cucumber 🥒
The white wedding would look better all the way up. The garden looks so beautiful.
Yes, plant more white hydrangeas because you would get a little more privacy from neighbors! Your garden is just beautiful!!!
My favorite channel on KZread!!!❤ The garden looks so lush and beautiful! Fantastic job Linda!
QOTD: I love hydrangea but I truly believe I would continue the lemon-lime theme. Maybe THIS is where you add a few of the Sunshine Ligustrums! I agree with another comment that it would brighten the space in that location and still be consistent for Lemon Lane!
Hi Linda, how about one or two more of the hydrangeas on that end and then add as many of the lemony plantings as would make sense. Your front garden has grown so much in the past few months, it already looks lush and beautiful.
I vote for the hydrangea as long as it will thrive in shade once the redbud grows up. The low hanging branches of my hydrangeas are setting root so I have been able to cut the branch, transplant the baby plant, and share them with my parents. Free hydrangeas!
Even though it wasn't an option, I think I would go with Sunshine Ligustrum in the Lemon Lane area. Sunshine Ligustrum has a lemony quality to it, and I think it would blend in beautifully. 😃

@@lindaheckert8495 It would create more continuity between the left side and the right side of the garden.
Linda I think more hydrangeas would show off Lemon Lane even more. Very informative video especially with the screen shots. Caught myself talking to you both.😊 Nice pleasant summer video.
The hydrangheas are beautiful but I would continue with lemon lime nandinas and abelia. They would lead the eye around the corner. I've ordered many shrubs from Southern Living that I first heard about on your channel and Horttube. Everyone has arrived in excellent condition and all have thrived. Love there selection.
I love more white hydrangea! White everything looks beautiful and angelic. White is pure and reduces chaos from multi colors and species! 😂
The lemon lime shrubs get my vote. The hydrangeas are lovely, but seems like they would take over the space.
To complete White Wedding display, I would add 1-3 more (it's hard to tell space on a video) and then fill in spaces closer to the pathway with the shorter shrubs used on Lemon Lane. Great results in such a short time. Congratulations!

I agree! It needs more of both!!❤
I vote for the lemon abelia and lemon lime nandina. The hydrangeas are beautiful but that lime green is beautiful as well!❤❤
The Garden is very beautiful...and so are you.. Again, Stuart is perfect for the show..love watching❤
For around the redbud, I would love more white wedding hydrangeas, but I think they might get too big, and look really crowded, so I think you need to continue with Lemon Lane. Love your skirt!!!
👍👍 I’m learning from your KZread channel videos not only landscaping but also your wonderful English language also ( I feel you are Head of Botany/ Horticulture Department at the University), With Best Wishes, From Mysore, INDIA 🙏🙏
I would suggest using yellow echinacia for lemony lane. Easier to move if other plants get too big.
I vote YES to the beautiful white hydrangeas . It's the perfect filler there especially when the tree gets bigger and will lighten the "darker" area. The white will draw the eye all the way across the garden. I think it will add more unity and cohesion. Love love love it all.
Love your skirt!
What a great beginning to a winning garden ! Bravo 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I vote to go with the hydrangea line !!!
I would bring the white wedding hydrangea over to that corner Linda.
QOTD: More wedding hydrangeas IF you can plant them far enough away from the tree trunk that the hydrangeas won’t comprise the overall tree health. Or one more wedding hydrangea and one or two Miss Lemon abelia. Thank you for the detailed tour. 💪💪❤️❤️
Continue with white hydrangeas so lovely
Linda you look fab today! Stewart got some really great shots today. Kudos to you both!

White Wedding Hydrangeas
Your garden is beautiful..love your water bowl on side..know birds,squirrels love.
May I say Linda you look absolutely beautiful in that blue shirt and skirt. You just look ethereal in the beginning of this video! The garden just looks better and better! That orange rocket barberry is so amazing every time I see them, I want them. They’re so bright against green and chartreuse with a tad bit of purple. Lawd, I can see it now! Lol
Gang of gardeners 💪 ❤😂
For lemon lane, I would like to see a couple more miss Lemon along the pavers, and a few sunshine lagustrum. They offer so much of that bright happy yellow. Perhaps just a few more hydrangeas just at the end of LL to add a few more of those lovelies
Thank You to Southern Living , great site for new gardeners, great information
Although the white wedding hydrangeas are beautiful they are deciduous. Linda, you always love winter interest, so I would stay with the lemon lime nandinas which will still give a pop of color throughout the year. Good luck on your decision.
Gesundheit, Stewart! And Linda, your skirt is stunning. Thanks for the SL plant deep dive, too.
The white hydrangeas for sure! Consider: carrying it to the end will be a gorgeous backdrop to lemon lane. As you asked this Question of the Day, I could envision it! Hope you can, too.
Agree with the white wedding hydrangea... so pretty 🥰
I would continue on with those gorgeous White Wedding hydrangeas. Cute skirt by the way!
I vote hydrangea! Can never have enough, whatever the color
Continue the White Wedding hydrangeas!!! I love the way you styled your summer garden. I can't wait to see the winter interest in your garden.
Loved this video! Can’t wait for part 2 and 3 of all the rest of the plants 😊
I agree with the majority and think more of the white wedding hydrangeas would great. Love the skirt too.
The Hydrangeas are stunning. I’d add more to your garden.
White hydrangea
Fill in the rest of Lemon Lane and add some dollops of White Wedding Hydrangeas! The garden is gorgeous!!!
Beautiful. Thankyou
Love Linda Stewart and garden all be blessful ❤
Yes, add those white hydrangeas and in front a few more lemon lime nandina
Lovely - Linda
Linda. The hydrangeas are so gorgeous. Love them!
Hooray for more Hydrangeas!
I would continue the white wedding hydrangeas, beautiful!
I vote to continue the hydrangeas! Nandina is one of my favorites! I have them in the ground and in containers.
I would continue with the hydrangeas for your question of day. I think you need some color there and they brighten up gloriously 😊
That’s my favorite Sunshine Ligustrum I have 2 in a pot by itself and one recently in the front yard. Thanks to you sharing it in your yard at the other house. I’m in SoCal zone 10b. By the way, I loved your skirt and top.
Good afternoon. What a great way to cool off after working in the garden for hours. I really love watching you and Stewart. There's so much to do in the gardens after being gone for a week. Some plants did ok in our high temperatures with no rain, but others are looking dreadful. I'm liking a lot of your featured plant choices. I definitely need to add more heat and drought-tolerant perennials to the front borders. Thank you both for sharing your time and garden knowledge with us. Zone 8b South MS 😊
Lemon lime nandina! Would be a great pop of color with your other plantings.
Love the white wedding hydrangea!
Thanks for this video. Been wanting to add to my plant collection. I’m starting a new garden on my new build home.
I vote for Hydrangeas!! BUT....I like the idea that another follower said more lemon lime and a little more bricks ! 23:08
Enjoyed learning about the Southern Living plants. Such a lovely skirt❤
These are all my favorite plants!!!!! I have most of them I need the barberries and touch of gold Holly my favorites are the Nandinas! I have tons of them! I just got some baby gem boxwoods they are so adorable!!!!! I love all the Southern Living Plants they are made for the South all of mine made it thru the “ blast” and are thriving!!!! I can’t wait for the new hydrangeas and the new variegated white azalea!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I would say yes to the white wedding hydrangeas and even add a standardized hydrangea topiary in spot at the end of that little porch to the left. Limelight or a Quick Fire
Hey Linda, right where you were sitting by the Holly's looks like a great place for a water feature or light feature. Thanks for the plant zone specifications it really helps at a glance. Blessings to you Stewart. Looking forward to the best of the rest!
Answer of the day. Mix of hydrangea and lemon, for winter interest I think the abelia would look nicer than just sticks. Also the pots by the brick fireplace…turn one so the pattern matches…or go with the way the plant looks better and ignore me 😂 everything looks great
Yes hydrangea, garden looking great
Those hydrangeas are just over the top!! Yes, add a few more. Thanks for this review. We want to remove old holly on the front of our house and our Texas temps have rivaled yours! Great plants to consider!! Great tips.
Hydrangeas will look will look great streaming around that curve. It’s amazing how the yard is flourishing is such a short period of time…happy plants!
The hydrangeas! Continue with them..love❤
To achieve a finished look and for continuity, I would plant the white wedding hydrangea! Love how your cottage garden has taken shape. I am taking notes to create my garden with the correct plants! I am in zone 8b. Thx Linda and Stuart!
Thank you. Planning a border to handle the heat. Thank you for names and sizes.
So many great southern living plants!! I need a bigger yard!
Even though I live on the other side of the world from you guys just love love love your utube channel; great ideas and so inspirational and very similar season plantings, we at the moment are in the thick of winter and very very wet and cold but no snow in our part of New Zealand; keep these videos going so much enjoyment🌿
I went to my nursery and asked about encore azaleas. He said other people have asked for them, but he can’t find a wholesaler. That’s here in Canada. They said sometimes it takes a few years to get approval.
Love the white wedding hydrangea!! I will be looking for those in the fall!
Great video, Linda. Re QOTD: I think a mix of those fav's along that border with your neighbor will be nicer than only the gorgeous White Wedding Hydrangeas. To me, it would be too much of a kind of solid border. Personally, I love the variety that softens the look. Whatever you decide I know it will be stunning nonetheless as you are a design master. I got several compliments to my wild wooly cottage-y side yard garden this weekend thanks to so much I have learned from you. I felt so proud. 13 years of evolving effort and understanding. Year round interest is my goal, but it sure looks pretty right now...
I would continue Lemon Lane because the plants will be evergreen. Your neighbors are very close at that juncture so hiding their patio would be nice... Blessings
I think it would look amazing to add a white blooming Douetzia! A sweet punctuation to that empty spot.
I vote for the lemon colored shrubs. The hydrangea might get too tall.
I’m agreeing with most folks and should go with the hydrangea. They are so beautiful and wish I knew of them when I did garden last year.
Give it time. You know things will be twice as big next summer.
I would continue with the abelia and possibly lemon lime nandina. If those hydrangeas stayed and 3 feet, I would say yes, but we all know how big those will get in a couple of years in zone 7B. I am using Little Lime Hydrangeas in my side yard, but plan to keep them "treed up" in the method you use to control size and bulk.
Plant hydrangeas. Beautiful
I agree with hydrangeas!
I vote for the white hydrangea ❤
Beautiful and informative video!!
Hey Stewart, Linda forgot to tell us where her cute skirt is from lol
Amazing how different the opinions are on lemony lane! I think more nandina because they don't lose their leaves. The hydrangea would look like sticks in the winter. I do think you could use more toward the street! Everything looks wonderful!!!
Continue with those beautiful white hydrangeas Gorgeous!!
Always the Hydrangea….I am a huge fan!
Ohh,Linda❤️❤️🥰🥰
I vote for hydrangea. My question of the day is what happens when these plants/bushes get to their full potential? Will your garden look crowded?
Oh, continue the white hydrangeas...they're spectacular!
