    Hello! I just started gardening and I was wondering about Lisianthus. I only have one stem blooming 3-4 flowers should I have trimmed it back to get more stems? And is it too late to do that now? I appreciate the help!

    Great channel. I grow a tropical fruit trees forest in my yard, recently been slowly adding flowers to it to makes the wife happy. Do you by chance sell some seeds combo containing most of these flowers? I don’t need much, just a bit of each. Thanks.

  31. Karla Hernandex on September 13, 2021 at 1:53 am

    Hi Question what is the vine in back of you and does it do good in the heat?



  32. Ann Stclair on September 13, 2021 at 1:57 am

    I am living in the caribbean. What cut flower can grow in heat. Thank you.



  33. Mumbai Balcony Gardener | Vlogs and More on September 13, 2021 at 2:00 am

    I’m re watching this video today for some inspiration and thinking what will do well in our heat with 3 hours sun which is all I can give for flowers . Prime spots are reserved for tomatoes and peppers .
    I have had success with dwarf marigolds , vinca , blue lobelia , clasping coneflower and alyssum too , my garden being south facing gets sun only in the 2nd half of the year. Will try Snapdragon .
    My all time favourite easy ones for the bees are mustard and basil .



  34. Melanie Guajardo on September 13, 2021 at 2:01 am

    What kind of soil do you plant your sunflowers in? Mine all died.

  36. Holly Lisa on September 13, 2021 at 2:04 am

    Great list. Extremely helpful



  37. Adriana on September 13, 2021 at 2:05 am

    Hi Angela! Are dahlias something that can be grown in Arizona? I haven’t had any luck finding information online. I’m zone 9b. Is there no way to grow them here? Is it the soil? Heat? I saw on the UofA flower planting guide for the low desert and I see dahlias listed but it’s listed as difficulty to grow. Any input is appreciated! Thank you!



  38. Richard Williams IV on September 13, 2021 at 2:06 am

    I wonder if these would translate to SW Fl. Every year it gets hotter and hotter.



  39. TheNumberLast on September 13, 2021 at 2:06 am

    I live in Australia in 42 – 46 degrees temperature. I don’t think these will cut it.



  40. Adriana on September 13, 2021 at 2:07 am

    Hi Angela! Do you start your Lisianthus from seed? I love their look but am wondering if transplants or seeds are better. If transplants are better would you mind sharing where you purchase your transplants from please? Thank you and have a great weekend! 💕
