- Sorry about the rushed video yesterday, guys!
It was my fault.
I was so excited and poor Greg was trying to follow me from plant to plant🤪
Today, we’re back at Mountain Crest to slow it down!
Not open to the public, Mountain Crest is mail order only.
Hope you enjoy this in rushed tour of the amazing display gardens!
Here’s the link to the store.
Remember, all proceeds in the month of June go to The Trevor Project.
Happy Pride!

That's not a lavender, it's a Salvia variety I think Color Spires Violet Riot.
Laura from Garden Answer gives details of plants that can be deer resistant. You should check out her videos 😊
Agree. Or it could be May Night or one of it's hybrids. You can tell from the foliage.
I have ordered quite a few succulents from MCG and they always arrive well-packed and the plants are in great shape.
When the Hens bloom, my Grandma would call them Roosters... for obvious reasons. 😆😆 Thank you so much for this video! I've recently started adding different semps to my Grandma's huge collection. we have a half barrel overflowing and so many pots, we give them to friends. Also, I think when the leaves curl down they've had enough water. The leaves curl up when they're dry. From Indiana, love you bye! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for this video. Learning a lot about Semps. Noticed Betty in the background. So beautiful 😍
My first hen and chick was a Mom and a few babes. Today, about 4 years later, she has about 100 babies. Mom has never bloomed (unless she was buried at the time by her offspring), but two of her children are blooming this summer.
Wow! 100 😱 I was gifted one two years ago and have only gotten 2 babies from her and she has a bloom spike coming in right now. I thought she was doing great with her whole 2 babies lol!
@@Simply.KiraMarie I've never tried it, but people say if you cut off the bloom spike Mom will send her remaining energy to making babies before she dies
@@pepperspot805 thanks for the info! I was going to leave the spike but now might cut it off before she dies. Would hate for her to die off and only have her two babies 😭
How slick of Greg to put Betty in the final moments of the video. Love every mile!
Oh my goodness - what a feast for my eyes - beautiful!
I did notice that Beautiful Bad Betty is your mode of transport today 😜
You forgot to say it’s been Laura eubanks with Greg and Betty in the background with your succulent tip of the day 😂😂 thanks for the video! I’m from LA and I grow my semps in spag moss along the crevices of my jelly palms. And the love it. They have spread off over the trunk of the tree setting roots and pups everywhere they find a cavity! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the tour of the display garden at MCG. It's great to see what my recent order for zone 6 might look like someday. Love that beautiful blue Betty!
I dont have words to describe the semps. What variety. I am just so bowled over!
I love your channel!
I live in Grass Valley, CA (zone 9A) and was planning a trip to Mountain Crest after watching your video. Glad I called before making the 3 hour trip. They are not open to the public. So disappointed! I will have to see if I can place an order or if they are only wholesale.
I am new to the world of succulents thanks to you. Thanks for all the fun inspiration!
Love😍Love all the different colors. It’s so beautiful. Laura I would love to see your designs using these cold hardy hens and chicks. Makes us want one of each 😂 😍❤️🌵 oh I was one of those that thought this was a permanent move someday haha!
Love this tour of Mountain Crest !!!
I've ordered from them and they have a really great selection. I like that they offer small sizes so you can experiment with a bunch of them and it's no life lost if some don't work out.
Lewisia is my home state flower, and I have a tattoo of it. Got to love a bitterroot!
I love semps and stonecrop aka hardy sedums in my garden. I especially love to propagate my stonecrops and mix and match to create a carpet of color.
I love MCG, their plants always arrive in good shape
Thank you Laura, you should see my shopping cart😍
Love the iceplants. It is also endemic to where I live. You should see how beautiful our region looks in July to September! The flowers are spectacular!
the colors of these are so rich!! amazing... are they deer resistant? so we'll be seeing a tapestry of some of these one of these days at your ranch??? 😁😁 and is that the one and only BAD BETTY there? what a ride!!!
I love Mountain Crest. I just got an order from them of Mangave. They are one of the very few places who have a variety, especially Bad Hair Day. Which btw is very cold tolerant. I did not cover it and we had many freezing days. It also loves the extreme hot sun! Thanks for showing us all of their semps!
I ordered Bad Hair Day as well, love it!
One of my semps bloomed. It was beautiful. I left the bloom stem as nd it has a ton of babies growing from it. It looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame 😜
Love to watch this video thanks Laura 😊 enjoy your days at your ranch.
This was very inspiring as I live in zone 6b. Yay semps and sedum!
Great video. I really been hoping for videos on hardy succulents. When I get some time I'll take some pictures of my little garden, it's a working project but it's looking great so o far.
Zone5
Trying to get hardy cactus is quite hard. got a couple I ordered from mc. Also got a one that I believe is native to Indiana, randomly found outside.
I haver purchased from Mountain Crest and was not disappointed.
Good to see Greg taking his baby for a spin 👏..... the agave that you mentioned as titanota is actually ovatifolia whales tongue, hates the cold in my experience. Thanks for these tours and mixing it up. Love ya work
Thanks, Matt!
This was particularly interesting about cold hardy succs. I don't have the problem where I live but this video made me appreciate the diversity of succulents even more. I wish my yard was bigger 😁
Fabulous succulent garden tour. I am working on a small rock garden and when i am finished with the hardscaping I will check out Mountain Crest
Que belleza 😱😍 como logran esos colores y si llueve no se pudren y si hace mucho calor no las quema 😱😍❤️❤️
Hey Laura!! Love that you for showing some frost hard succulents. The purple flowers are May night Salvia.
I can't seems to keep semps alive.. Either they get too much sun or not enough. These are gorgeous.
So exciting to see you going over the cold hardy ! Just ordered 5 different varieties of semester, in missouri I am 6a and we are limited to semps and oputunia I think
And sedums are cold hardy
Beautiful succulents 🌵🦎🐍🌴❤️
Love the display. Only 3 years old and look at all the pups!! Can’t wait to go to their website. They will have 100,000 more customers now. Hehe.
I live in the Pyrenees and I have Sempervivums, I love them, they allow me to have succulents outside all year, other succulents are cold hardy: parodia cactus, echinopsis, and others, if they stay in a sunny and dry place
Also, this REALLY helped give us some ideas. We're purchasing a home next year, and we really want an area to have layers of cold hardy succulents as well as a neat space to display some potted cactus in the spring and summer. This really struck inspiration!
The variety is astounding!!! 🤩 Thank you for this Alice in Wonderland tour. Can’t wait to peruse their online catalog.
I see you and Greg took Betty along - great closing shot of you with Betty in the background!!
Un recorrido entretenido y unas plantas preciosas. Gracias 😀👍🏽
Lol, you sharing the photo with Bad Betty there at the end!
Yay! Thank you for answering my question about the leaf curl. Im not sure what kind of semps I have but it’s a perplexing behavior for sure.
I read somewhere that when semps curl down they are not getting enough light...maybe that's the issue?
@@karenmccants1439 that’s what I’m thinking too. Maybe not enough or too much? Picky plants 🤣
It’s beautiful, I’d be like a kid in a cendystore ☺️
I grow several agaves here in zone 5 Denver, without winter cover. We are quite dry in winter though! Agave parryi ssp neomexicana is my favorite.
They need your team Laura to do maintenance session !
Loved seeing this episode! I have to use winter hardy here in Virginia.
Looks like a lightning storm off in the distance.
That "lavender" you were asking about at around 5:00 looks like its actually a salvia 'may night' or 'caradona' variety
Amazing place
Amazing 👏
yumm Mat is a snack
Thanks again Laura, made lots and lots of notes.
Beautiful Sempervivum loved
I live in East Tennessee zone 7 and grow a few varieties of cold hardy cacti such as Opuntia Polyacantha, phaeacantha, humifusa, fragilis , and imbricata as a lawn shrub. I also grow Echinocereus engelmanii ,triglochidatus, and Ferocactus texensis as well as various Sedums and hens and hens and chicks and an Echervaria. Summers are very warm and humid and while winters are generally mild temperatures can get down to the low teens and even single numbers.
Hey, I’m in east Pennsylvania in a similar zone and I’m really curious how you keep stuff like f.texensis happy in a wetter environment. That species has intrigued me because of the funny common name but I’ve heard it’s tough to keep a lot of desert species alive on the east coast.
@@relaskra hi, I’m sorry to say I lost my 2 F. texensis to the Christmas cold snap temp dipped to 2 degrees and it was just too much for them ,had them for 6 years , these were growing in a raised brick planting box against a southwest brick wall under an overhang in a very well drained soil I also lost a couple of echervarias but all the others survived even the few I have exposed to winter rain. I do have many of the Opuntia in ground which is fairly clay and fully exposed to the weather and came through with flying colors.
@@dennisdevito2829 Thanks for responding in any case! I may try that species in a container anyways since single digits are rare enough and that species stays small enough I can probably bring it indoors. Good to know it lasted several years in your climate though, I’m always taking notes from people who grow cacti/succulents in cold wet areas to see what works.
Ahahahha. I thought that was just my eyes playing up on me yesterday! Still a great video ☺
OMG, more than rodents eating my ice plant… Every type of bird I noticed. Sparrows, finches. Mockingbirds, crows and the feral parrots. Of course these all attracted Red-tailed hawks, which was cool here in Coronado….They would swoop down and drink out of the pool, very close overhead…I think it was very dry that summer, and the small birds were after the mesembs for all the water. At first I thought it's cause they look like caterpillars, some of the plants. Literally all my mesembs, and I believe even my living stones, were chewed on last year. Basically if it was from South Africa it was fair game lol
I found birds eat at my living stones also, as well as a few other succulents. Maybe the moisture?
yippee pen in hand!!!!
That purple plant looks like a salvia instead of a lavender
Not sure if anyone pointed this out or not already, but that was actually a variety of salvia, not lavender. I'm not sure what variety, however.
I think the plant you called lavender in 4:55 is actually a hardy Salvia, can't imagine deer eating salvia either, it's such a strong scent
Greg way to get the picture of the car at the end.
Love looking
Bummer...I was planning to go up there. Only 4hrs away from home.
The purple perennial is a salvia. I don't know the name, it's super common and tough.
You guys drive Betty there 😂😂😁
Laura,How many types of sempervivums are planted there. That's amazing 👏 😍
Hundreds!
Succulent heaven!
If they’re closed to the public, why do they have huge display gardens? Who gets to see them? I’m about three hours south of there and would love to take a day trip to see them.
Hi Laura.! My question is regarding mealy bugs & aphid’s infesting my semp’s. I find they get infested really easily, does MCG have any advice for controlling the little buggers?
Was that lightening in the background. Some flashes of light.
I saw that too!!
Love this video but am wondering how semps do in temps over 100 for days or even weeks in summer. Love Val in Oz
I'm in 8b so we freeze, but in the summer it's hot as Hades. Today is 104! Will sedums and supers survive our summers?
That’s what I’d like to know too, I live in Visalia , zone nine, hot hot hot.
💝💝💝
Will you plant some in your ranch garden ?
How do these cold hardy plants work in zone 9 los angeles? It gets sooo hot here but these colors are gorgeous..I want them.
Another fun plant tour! Laura, where does Mountain Crest get their succulents? 🥰
They hybridize and grow most of them, much of the softer stuff is from Altman’s and other sources.
Would like to add some sempervivums here in zone 9b that can take our few freeze days a year without having to be brought inside. I'd like to know which particular plants grow the largest, and which spread the most.
You should start selling a succulent box with many varieties
🙋
Maybe a salvia.
Laura, is there some way that folks can post a photo of a succulent or water-wise plant and tell us what it is (if you know)? Could you start a discussion about it on your Facebook profile?
Are all supervivums clumping type succulents?
Not a lavender, I think that it’s a sage.
Yea, thats not lavender, its a salvia
That is salvia not lavender💙
I believe that is a salvia and not a lavender.
Muito. Pequeno
Salvia not Lavender
Well, if not open to the public, seems pointless to have a display garden. About an hour drive from my house.
Ha! Totally!
They used to be open to the public before the pandemic. Now they are just too slammed.
Maybe they will see clear to allowing me to host a special event…
I’ll ask😊
@@LauraEubanks That would be cool. I would go for sure.
If I lived in USA one of everything please such a variety and I like how they are smaller size you can afford more .🦘🐨❤️
