Clearance Plant Propagation: Save Money by Propagating Plants You Find on Clearance Racks!
How lovely!! I have an azalea which was the first thing we planted when we moved here in 1971, that has never had any direct sun at all. It's about 18" from a North wall of the house. Recently (luckily) I got a cutting rooted from it, as it appears as though it may be approaching the end of it's lifespan.
I bought one of these plants a few years ago and didn’t really have a place to plant it and so I planted it at the side of my house in relatively mostly shade! 3 years later and this year in particular I’m shocked at its size and the amount of heads on it! There’s probably more than 70 plus but I’ve noticed that the heads seem a bit smaller because there are so many! Should I trim the back or just cut off a bunch to bring indoors for the living room? Again I never had any expectations for this plant and now it’s an absolute monstrosity!
That is awesome!! You can definitely take some blooms inside. The plant should have time to continue growing and set new blooms for next year. Once the plant dies back in the fall, you can also remove any dead wood from the middle which will make more room for the live branches next year. You can also remove any weak or spindly branches to allow more room for the strongest branches.
Great video, thank you! I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to checking out your channel. Do you mind sharing your wholesale source? Is it easy to buy from wholesalers? (I understand they usually require a minimum order, I don't mind) I'm usually very patient with the few annuals I plant and I don't mind them taking their time to fill in, but next year I'm hosting some events in early summer and I want the garden to look lush! I will definitely try your overwintering method. Plus I'd like to get LOTS more annuals and I'd rather grow them on in the winter than spend a thousand dollars in the spring 🙂
Hi! For Sunpatiens I use North Carolina Farms. They do have minimums and there are charges for boxing and shipping. If you are not buying a lot of plants, it ends up not being worth it. If you are buying a ton of plants, they are great. They also have sales sometimes! I want to try getting my wholesale plugs earlier next year and then growing them under grow lights until the last frost so they will be bigger when I plant them out. That may be a strategy for you too, before your event! Thanks so much for watching!
Sunpatients are great!! When it gets hot outside..need lots of water !! Your Sunpatients are beautiful too❤😊!!!
Thank you so much 🤗 I love them.
Awesome ❤️ finds!! I saw that at Home Depot by me too!! Lots of great clearance flowers too!!
So cool! Clearance plant shopping is one of my favorite hobbies!
I like the purple one but not the orange one.
I feel the same way.
I really like it!! I know what you mean though, it can be annoying when that happens.
Thanks so much. I think it will grow on me, lol
I'd like to see more of Ollie 🐾. That's a big disappointment when the colors and forms and other details are not as advertised.
Thanks so much. I am sure Ollie will make another appearance.
@@uptosomething6271 I acquired most of my daylilies on a couple occasions when a friend and I went to some daylily farms and bought them directly out of the beds where they grow them. That was a lot of fun getting them that way. Huggs to Ollie.
I like the orange one best but that’s because I use purple’s and orange’s together and love it.
Maybe I will try planting them together!
That sounds like my place!
Nope
Great video!! I’m a new subscriber 🤗🦋 I live on Zone 6b. Which zone do you live? What do yo do with them in the Winter? Thank you so much!! 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻
Thanks for subbing! I am in zone 7b (Long Island NY). I don't do anything special for them and most years they do fine. Most of mine are planted along my foundation, so they do get a wind break. If it gets very cold by your then you may want to protect with frost fabric and a heavy mulch before winter settles in. Thank so much for watching!!
Looks like 24 fps. Super jittery
You can propagate a patented hydrangea, you just can't sell or trade it.
Thanks for sharing!
Luchy you!!! Hydrangea translates to "water vessel". They are so beautiful!!! I can't have them in my climate though, unless I'm wiling to water them every day (sometimes twice) to keep them alive.
Thank you! Yes, even here they must be watered often unless they are planted with morning sun and afternoon shade.
Many youtubers make this mistake with their videos, playing music, usually awful music which you can't mute because then you lose the voice over.
Yes, this was one of my first videos and the music was way too loud. I have learned a lot since.
I never see deals. I bought a Summer Crush at a garden center and I probably paid $50 for it.
Maybe you will get lucky next time too!
Don't think I've heard of this one! Or milk sickness, for that matter. 😮
I am so glad it was helpful!!
I'm on long island in NY and home depot usually doesn't have clearance where are you?
Hey Neighbor!! I am in Suffolk, I got these plants at the Patchogue Home Depot on Sunrise. I have never seen deals like this before!
@@uptosomething6271 I'm in Nassau, my daughter is in Lindenhurst and we go to the home depot on sunrise, but that might be Copiague and they never have sales either. I'll check the ones by me occasionally the one in Jericho will put stuff on clearance, but usually not till later in the summer. Nice to see i'm watching someone with the same growing conditions lol. ppl don't understand our zone 7 is very different from most other zone 7's. Thanks for the info.
Seriously for my application im considering a chicken pen with plastic over it in the spring and a animal barrier without the plastic in the summer. Set it right in my garden and use the ground. Gonna need about 6 of them
That should work great!!You can also consider building out if cattle panels. They are inexpensive and would likely work with the plastic.
If it can't keep out the freaking mosquitos that's not good. That gave me a laugh. The mosquito comment.
Thanks, I love being outside but once August arrivers those suckers are out all the time. It is so frustrating, lol
Wish our HOME DEPOT HAD sells on their flowers and shrub. I live in Putnam County Florida.
Mine usually never does, but I got lucky. Maybe it is a new thing...
Great video! Can’t wait to watch more!
Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!
This is SO interesting!! I've actually no experience with impatiens, or sunpatiens, but did I just hear you say that annuals don't all just die at the end of the season?? All of my adult life (@ 50 years) I've only bought perennials, I never bothered with annuals, because I never had the time or the money for short-lived plants! Have I been doing it all wrong?? I'm in California, pretty close to sea level. Only very occasionally the temperature drops to 31 or 32 F, but snow is very rare and short-lived here. I'm actually harvesting tomatoes and chilis from plants that now are over a year old, and we don't have a greenhouse. Thank you!!
I am glad the video was helpful! It sounds like in your zone, you may be able to keep many annuals alive. Of course it will depend on your winter.You would likely need to cover your annuals with garden plastic if you were going to get a frost or snow. Maybe hit the clearance rack at your local big box store later this season and give it a try! I would give it a shot with just one or two so you don't invest too much time or money with the experiment. My veggies all die at the end of the season, but this year I want to try gardening in my hoop house to see how long I can keep growing!! Happy gardening! Thanks so much for the comment.
@@uptosomething6271 It may be worth a try!! Thank you for this and your other very informative videos, too.
NEVER trust the "sterile hybrid" label. Case in point, Pyrus calleryana ( commonly known as the Bradford Pear or Callery Pear). Just use natives (PARTICULARY with perennials).
The photograph at 2:16 (with the hummingbird) is of lavender, not either liatris or purple loosestrife.
English Ivy is Horrible in the Southeast USA and Kudzu is way out of control… you need a herd of 20 Goats every other year to keep it under control.
It is awful here too. Just everywhere and killing many of our trees!
I wish lupine were invasive in SW Ohio! I get upward of a month out of it, then it's done. It's pretty and attracts bees and butterflies, but heads out as soon as temps & humidity surpass 85° 🙁
Yes, they are short lived by me too! Very beautiful flowers.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing! I learned a lot. Question, how do you add the fertilizer once it’s already been planted? I’m new to gardening and I love hydrangeas. I have strawberry sundae.
Take it from a long time greenhouse grower. You can grow in both of these pretty darn well. The “secret” to greenhouse growing is constant monitoring. Have some automation or other cooling situation. This small they will heat up and cook your stuff in minutes. The opening for cooling in these small houses are not really adequate so a fan or other air mover is necessary. We just put up a 10x20 industrial made house and only paid 1,800 for it which included everything down to screws and the bit they needed! Love, love, love it! 🤙 ❤
Wow!! That is amazing. Where did you purchase it? I definitely agree that the vents on this greenhouse are not enough. I can't even imagine if ours was in the sun!
@@uptosomething6271 we live in Washington state on the outskirts of a town called Chehalis. A young man and his family moved up from Oregon to establish a business to sell greenhouse kits that he puts together per your specs or whatever you want. He does a fabulous job and as I said includes everything to set them up. My husband likes to put wood and chicken wire around the sides but that is pretty much the only things not included. He uses a heavier grade tubing than what you normally see for home growers and in our snow area that can be a lifesaver! Our business comprised 2 houses 100 x 30 and one house 20 x 50 heavy industrial grade and these are comparable. I tell you we were floored when he told us the price and both agreed immediately to purchase one. 😄
Too high for my budget but if you’re well off it’s very convenient and you can return if they die!
I'm confused: you say liatris is a "great alternative" to purple loosestrife, but that it "spreads like wildfire." I'm finding it multiplies every year, and now have many coming up in my lawn. Not easy to pull up. Also the leaves are very prickly and I have to be careful trimming them back in winter. But I like how they look so I guess I'll keep them.
Our Costco, here in Colorado, carries beautiful plants, and I'm really thankful they do, but they only set up the racks of plants for maybe a month, in the spring, and then they're gone. So you don't know when they're coming and when they'll be gone. I have to believe they contract with a vendor, a local nursery, for their stock because I've seen ladies restocking the racks, and they're not Costco employees. They are very friendly and thank the shoppers for purchasing. They stock a combo of veggies and flowers, but not near the variety you shared in your video. Love Costco! 😊
Our was the same as yours until just this year. Maybe your store will have an outdoor garden center in the near future too!
Northern Indiana zone 5 the Mexican primrose it beautiful but seriously a problem. Still trying to contain it.
Its not always just about price. I have found Costco’s plant quality better than other places where they have been severely over/under watered and placed in the wrong location. Having said that - I try to fulfill my needs at local nurseries and small business garden shops before heading to Costco.
Prices seem high IMHO
It took me awhile to learn how to propagate. It is finally reaping rewards
My favorite hobby is plant propagation!!
@uptosomething6271 I work with the developmentally disabled adults doing horticulture. We teach them how to propagate and grow. I learn more from them then they learn from me
Buying the hoop house today! Thanks for the video!
Hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it works out for you!!
These are not good prices
Tomatoes are so easy to grow! Not worth buying them. I have tomatoes growing where I had my compost lol
Strawberry Sundae will be less leggy in full sun. Strawberry Sundae and Limelight do very well here in WI. I'm in zone 5a. Here, we call Endless Summer, Endless Bummer. They will grow, but most years will not flower or have very small blooms. Panicles tend to do best. It's usually better to look for zone 3 or zone 4 plants in my experience.
Rabbit eats my conflower and black susan
TURN OFF THE MUSIC. CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING. I can't stand it. Leaving.
We’re best to plant native plants nowadays. So much of the natural landscape everywhere has been destroyed that we can really make a positive difference by doing so. In so many cases native plants are just as attractive if not more so than plants introduced from other parts of the world. And by definition native plants - even though they can spread by seed and/or by runners depending on the species - will not be invasive.
under Lantana alternatives, you mention a sparkling verbena however the closeup of the flower including leaves is a cranberry tree/bush that likely volunteered in my yard via bird dropping.Interesting, there are no other cranberry bushes in the neighborhood. Just this year after waiting almost 30 years I have a runner which I am going to dig up to plant as a specimen plant since it is so beautiful. Our plant is easily 12-15 feet high, ,uch higher than sites say it should get. The decomposed granite has to be some of the worse, hard, dry soil around.
Butterfly Bush IS NOT invasive!! I've had mine for over a year and it hasn't spread AT ALL. I wish it would spread a little .... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! I've heard others say the same ...that they aren't invasive at all.
Most of the varieties sold today are hybrids that are not invasive. Plus, not all plants are invasive in all areas.
Why why do they sell them
I know!! I would at least hope they would label them so people are aware but so often there is not warning.
Because it’s about money - what people want and what nurseries can produce quickly and cheaply. Here in California almost everything typically planted is non-native and very often invasive as well.
I propagate my established plants in order to increase my garden….prices have gotten sooo high on all plants that a person on Social Security has to choose food and meds over garden beauty in today’s declining economy!!!!..would enjoy the hibiscus tree…someday when the dollar fails and we go to a solid money system!!!
Plant propagation is my favorite hobby. Prices are crazy for everything. I am not sure when we will go to a solid money system but stacking silver is a great way to prepare!
My name is Amy, my hubby bought me a pink hibiscus for $6.99 and bought me a beautiful red hibiscus for $6.99, bought me a beautiful rose from lowes at $19.99 here in Eastern Washington state. My 2 beautiful hibiscus, rose plant is continue to thrive here.
I can't keep a bamboo plant alive for the life of me. No worries here!
Music is distracting
Hehehe. If you live on the front range or anywhere else prone to Chinook winds, you'll thank yourself for investing in a hard body building from the get-go.
Looking for Japanese Maple anyone know which Costco in California carry them?
Great question!
Hi I just spotted them at Costco Lakewood ca
