TOP 10 full sun perennials that get bigger and more beautiful each year! | My Carolina Garden

TOP 10 full sun perennials that get bigger and more beautiful each year! My Carolina Garden is a yard of full-sun gardens, filled with full sun perennials. These are my top 10 favorite full sun perennials that thrive in my garden, and can hopefully thrive in yours as well. (Just one hint, perennial Hibiscus is included ;) )
I chose perennials that get bigger each year, AND can be divided, AND are hardy to zone 4 (on average).
I love watching other people's garden tours as much as creating my own! Sharing gardening ideas is what this channel is all about, so I hope you enjoy! This list of TOP 10 full sun perennials is not in any particular order, by the way.
My name is Nicole Roggeman and My Carolina Garden is located in coastal North Carolina, in growing zone 8B. For more on gardening in North Carolina, and seeing how my landscape blossoms and expands, stick with me and My Carolina Garden!

    Beautiful! You’ve got a fence to keep out rabbits. Where I am, they eat the coneflowers, lilies, rudbeckia, and speedwell down to the ground-not a leaf left! Grrr! Make me think about bunny-cide! lol.

    You're so right - pests are infuriating!! At my last property I had issues with groundhogs eating everything - ughhhh, so I feel your pain

    I’ve had to put everything in containers in my back yard, and basically only foundation plants and salvias in the front. I always tell my husband that if we didn’t have rabbits, I would be unstoppable! 🤣🤣🤣

    New member here. So excited you are in my area! Always looking for someone on KZread who are in my zone ans share what they are growing and thriving. Your garden is gorgeous!! Primrose scares me. I have pink and have yet to plant it in the yard. I love the yellow. Thanks for sharing

    Hi there! I'm so glad you found me, also! It's great to be able to connect with locals so we can talk about what's working, or isn't, in our gardens. I've noticed that Primrose comes in multiple varieties, so I'm not sure if the pink you have is the Twilight that I have or not. If it is, and you have the space for it, don't be scared of it. On the other hand, if you keep your garden well groomed and don't want any straggling plants popping up, I'd give it away. I mean it pulls up very easily (not like dollarweed or something that you can never get ride of), but it is an extra chore. Thanks for your message.

I watch Jenny she lives in north Carolina. Yall may be warmer than a 8a. I got mixed up. Great video, I grow alot of plants you showed us. Thank You for all the great information 😊

Some of your plants I don’t think I can grow or at least not at such an extended growing period but I think we can still have a lot of the same plants. I enjoy your gardens. We have a large vegetable garden in addition to my flowers. I love being outdoors and playing in the dirt.
