Of course I went directly to their argument about persicaria. A charming couple. I wish my spouse would've been an enthusiastic gardener as I am. I loved their conversation. Alexandra, your videos are treasures in many ways.
My husband and I also argue on things about the garden but mostly on potted plants. He said I have too many pots here and there and he wants simplicity, but I always find a way to convince him or rearrange the pots once in a while.😊
What a cute couple! Even arguing over plants has a romantic element to it. Nice border! Typical gardeners challenge is “fitting” in the things they really would love to grow & experience with the micro climate, what is accessible to them and what’s already there. It’s like a puzzle we are all always trying to work out.
The persicaria needs a lime green near it, something tart to brighten up its sangria/berry fruit vibe. It has a lot of pinks and burgundies around it, they all could stand some contrast.
A 100m long border which is rather deep too!...?they are so lucky to have such ample land space to plan and play with their choice of plants. What a feast of border plants and glorious flowers... Thanks so much for sharing this tour of the NoName Nursery border. Of course, thanks to Steve for very interesting and informative talk...🌻 Thanks...💝💐
Another TERRIFIC video-you hit it out of the park with this one. Extremely useful information on plant combinations, contrast with different plants and specific info on plant heights and how to make it work in the border. I will be watching this a few times to get inspriation and rock solid advice on borders. Steve did mention a garden in the Netherlands that they visited and found useful. I couldn't make out the name-would you be able to relay that to me? I did enjoy "when gardeners don't agree on a plant"- little bit of disagreement with valid points both sides and ending with some compromise (to be reviewed later). Well done Alexandra!!!!!!!
Persicaria should stay!!! What fun that discussion was! Thank you, Alexandra, for this video. I put in a new border 2 yrs ago and every year I feel it needs reworking as I am not quite satisfied with it's look. Love your videos, as I always get great tips for my garden.
I think Persicaria should stay too! Actually, I think that is the pleasure of gardening, every year it looks different and it is allwaaaays a work inn progress!
This is one of your best videos so far. I am impressed, and convinced, by their idea of growing what they sell, and thereby also providing their customers with an example of mixing colors, textures, and heights.
Lovely border! I’m of the mind that each person is going g to find respite and beauty in different plant combinations. If it’s your own garden, you really shouldn’t have to see something you detest. Life is hard enough, without adding something that makes you unhappy 🙁
Alexandra, you are an absolute gem among youtube gardeners! A pleasure every week to learn from you, from your own personal experience, and from the many gifted gardeners you interview. Thank you for your excellent work.
NJ USA hardiness zone 7 - A lot of great tips in this video I'm gonna have to rewatch it and take some notes I specially love the phrase "garden editing". Thanks for sharing!
Loved the hot argument! Persicaria just needs more contrast behind it, something architectural and dark...so impressed with this garden and the inspiring couple. Cheers from Stockholm Sweden 🤗🥀🌻
Hello from Ohio in the U.S. The garden is beautiful and there are a ton of plants in there, that I can grow here in my state!! I am very inspired and excited to try this. Wonderful video. Thank you
I’ve always envied English borders with Blue False Indigo. Mine on the other hand gets 9 feet wide and flops on the ground. I was inspired by your video to go tidy up my mixed border this morning. I started whacking off the underneath branches all the way around & voila !!!! The bush promptly popped back up !!! I am so proud of myself for figuring this out ! You all probably already know this. Spread the word to your Pinhead American gardeners !!!!!
Magnificent borders, and a very inspiring and helpful episode. Thank you! - Oh, and the Persicaria should stay! (Just give it a couple of new neighbours.)
I, too, loved the debate about the persicaria. She's right, of course. This was a fabulous video. Alexandra, I just love your channel and watch everything. I am gardening on Vancouver Island, Canada (zone 8b).
Haha, I love the debate at the end! And of course, that is a beautiful border! Alexandra, I would love some tips on striking a balance for creating interest in the wintertime too.
Leave the persicaria. Perhaps I’m the odd one out, but it was that cosmos that really bothered my eye. The bloom color was too brown red for me. The foliage, however, was spot on. 🤷♀️ Alexandra, this is the best design and planting instructional video you’ve produced! Steve and Lou are fantastic. I wish I lived closer to Kent. LOL.
I agree that the problem with the Persicaria is the location and companion plants. I think it needs something dark behind it. Would love to see how that situation develops! Great episode!
What a wonderful argument, and a fluent gardenlanguage speaking guy, WOW ( that should happen to my husband, uh). IMO the persicaria is planted right in this place, she should stay. This obviously very passionate gardener has nailed it with the long border. Thank you for all the amusing informations! And, please, let us know if they replanted the perasicara in the end, after our votes got in! Best wishes, Hanni.
I love the comments and also the discussions of how you choose your border plants and what you’re looking for. It reinforces what I’ve been doing and I’m glad for that. And this is the second video I’ve watched where you had Matrona sedums and I just love those plants because they are year-round interest and I’m in Maine so you know that they’ll endure extremely cold winters, wet winters, drought summers, which we’ve been experiencing, and they have seed has it last through the whole winter into the spring. I had one plant when I arrived, and I had propagated 30 more out of it and I can’t get enough of it.
I love the border here (and, yes, the Persicaria should stay). My Zone 4 issues are short growing season, clay/rocky soil, and lots of deer, so it's going to be a challenge. Still, there are quite a few plants and grasses that are options. My main focus is on low maintenance. I had a garden for many years in hot/humid Virginia that used up every spare minute weeding and spraying and pruning. It was beautiful, but way too much work. My current plan will incorporate low evergreens and large boulders for winter interest, and tall grasses, which I have never used before. I've decided it also has to accommodate a large thorny shrub rose (Blanc Double de Coubert). The plan gets started this spring. Taking notes. :)
Beautiful and informative! PA zone 6 and moved to this place 11 years ago. As I am 70 I now look for plants with bright interest that I can see from my porch for my future. I did my long border fronts with a lot of Geranium Roxanne and Walkers Low Catmint and I loved it. They bloomed all summer and are still going strong.
I agree with the lady on the persicaria; I find it's muted reds and gauzy appearance quite lovely against the coneflowers and the red-leaved ricinus plant. And the red cosmos. Pretty!
That pericardia looks great! The foliage and flower are dainty itcomplimenting the pinks and reds and lavender on its texture and form is perfect contrast and fill!!
A gorgeous border! Just loved all the planting - even the contentious persicaria! Another brilliant video which I know I will want to watch again and again. Many thanks.
I loved the Persicara debacle and the conclusion they came to about it needs planting with extra height around it. Fab video yet again, I’ve learnt so much. And thank you for doing the timeline and naming all of the plants that were discussed ❤️👍🏼
Thank you for finding and interviewing these great people for us, they are just great to listen to 😊❤️ Well if the plant stays or not, we will have to know it, so please interview them again what happened. 😄 I love topics about flower borders! Greetings, Judit
What a super video. Thank you for sharing this. I have borders and I'm never happy with them no matter what I do. I'm going to keep watching this to try to work out what my border problems are. The persicaria should definitely stay! Such an amazing plant for pollinators. Such a great video and once again, thank you for sharing 😊
Stunning perennial border !!! I love it so colourful and beautiful love the mixture of plants I have a mini perennial border which I love playing around with so yours is very inspiring for me thankyou for sharing

This was such an interesting video. This gentleman was so enthusiastic! It was contagious!
The gardener said, "a place to escape and enjoy the world." I LOVE THAT!
The “argument “ about the persicaria was so sweet and void of nastiness. Really enjoyed it! Total respect for each others opinions .
What a show! The Brits sure know how to create magnificent gardens. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Thank you!
Of course I went directly to their argument about persicaria. A charming couple. I wish my spouse would've been an enthusiastic gardener as I am. I loved their conversation. Alexandra, your videos are treasures in many ways.
Thank you so much!
Thats is the most beautifullest border I have ever seen. I hope some one is helping to finance this. I know I could not afford it.
@@josanders4051 They're running a nursery so not short of plants or the knowledge of how to propagate them!
My husband and I also argue on things about the garden but mostly on potted plants. He said I have too many pots here and there and he wants simplicity, but I always find a way to convince him or rearrange the pots once in a while.😊
"Alexandra, your videos are treasures in many ways." Yes yes yes.
That couple is adorable. Their 'argument' made my day 🙂
What a stunningly beautiful border & keep the persicaria it fits in so well
I love how generous your videos are, both in length and knowledge. You give great people enough time to really explore ideas. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
agree

Persicaria should stay! Great video, Alexandria. We LOVE when you visit gardens!
Keep the lovely Persicaria but add something to brighten the scheme 🇦🇺
Such a cute couple. I say it should stay. Thanks Alexandra for showing us their beautiful border.
The persicaria needs a lime green near it, something tart to brighten up its sangria/berry fruit vibe. It has a lot of pinks and burgundies around it, they all could stand some contrast.
I love how this video explores the wonders of nature and highlights the environmental issues we face! 👏🍀

Thanks so much for sharing this tour of the NoName Nursery border. Of course, thanks to Steve for very interesting and informative talk...🌻
Thanks...💝💐
Thank you!
The only thing is I would of loved to see it put in the ground. From the start of the idea to tbe compleating of it to now. Beautiful anyway.
What a treasure for me to find! Thank you for being here for us… ❣️
You are so welcome!

It does seem like a great idea to be able to see plants growing in a border situation.
Lovely border! I’m of the mind that each person is going g to find respite and beauty in different plant combinations. If it’s your own garden, you really shouldn’t have to see something you detest. Life is hard enough, without adding something that makes you unhappy 🙁
Great one! I’d love to see the plant names drawn out on paper in the way they are in the border to use as a guide.
That's a good idea, might be difficult to achieve, but I'll certainly bear it in mind for the future.
Yes I would as well.
I wanted to know the name of the nearby plant that has pale pink flowers. They look like grass seed heads.
@@Edu_Kate Me too! I’m reading comments to see if it appears anywhere.
@@Edu_Kate It reminds me of Armeria Maritima ( sea thrift )..very similar looking.
The Persicaria looks great there! And, I bet it would be a lovely complement in the tropical garden, too. Do both!
Brilliant, there was more content here than much of the Chelsea Flower Show. Much appreciated.
Thank you!
Alexandra, you are an absolute gem among youtube gardeners! A pleasure every week to learn from you, from your own personal experience, and from the many gifted gardeners you interview. Thank you for your excellent work.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent this week, generating so many ideas
The whole video was such a good segment and interview. You must go back at another time of year. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree. Id love to see it in another season.
I’m with Lou on the Persicaria . It looks lovely in the boarder. I hope she can persuade Steven. Thanks for another wonderful video!
What a stunning garden!
Loved this. The poetry of the discussion here was great. :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing content
Loved the hot argument! Persicaria just needs more contrast behind it, something architectural and dark...so impressed with this garden and the inspiring couple. Cheers from Stockholm Sweden 🤗🥀🌻
Thank you!
I'm on the side of "never too much color" - maybe someday my eye for it will mature! Great video.
Thank you. And colour in gardens is certainly wonderful, my own garden colour isn't as disciplined as this one.
Loved the discussion at the end, and what a lovely border! I would leave it there and just edit around it or something.
Loved the conversation Alexandra, Iots of really good tips. The Persicaria I think should stay.
Thank you - it'll be interesting to see!
No. I didn't like the Persicaria in that position and colour combination. Probably better elsewhere.
What a gem of a post as usual ! Lots of lovely information and entertainment ! Thanks Alexandra ! 😊
Thank you!
I agree with Louise! The leaves make an excellent contribution to your border garden.
Hello from Ohio in the U.S. The garden is beautiful and there are a ton of plants in there, that I can grow here in my state!! I am very inspired and excited to try this. Wonderful video. Thank you
Thank you!
What a beautiful border. An interesting approach in covering the border in plants in order to keep the weeds out. Another great video. Thank you.
I’ve always envied English borders with Blue False Indigo. Mine on the other hand gets 9 feet wide and flops on the ground. I was inspired by your video to go tidy up my mixed border this morning. I started whacking off the underneath branches all the way around & voila !!!! The bush promptly popped back up !!! I am so proud of myself for figuring this out ! You all probably already know this.

Interesting, no, we didn't necessarily!
Delightful video, a lovely couple who's gardening banter showed how passionate these two are about plants. And gave us plenty to see and appreciate.
Thank you! I agree.
Thanks Alexandre for another great video...very informative...so much to learn still at 74yrs..!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Magnificent borders, and a very inspiring and helpful episode.
Thank you!
- Oh, and the Persicaria should stay! (Just give it a couple of new neighbours.)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Now that is my kind of a border! No show garden stuff on view here. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was just too delightful, especially the argument at the end which was full of love and good humor.
Good choice of the Persicaria, it compliments the other plant and softens the colours around it and it's a good filler imo 😀
@William Rogard Hello William, Thank you for your message. My home is in Australia.
Stay! Its beautiful 😍
He's so right about the Soil ,I have to fixed mine a daunting task if you ask me
outstanding advice!
I think the persicaria should stay! I'm happy that this came up as a suggested video. I'm am a geek when it comes to perennials. 😁
Thank you!
Can you show the jungle garden. I also like the plant debate. Do more of those.
Hope to do the jungle garden one day, too.
Love the borders! Keep the persicaria and plant complimentary larger leafed plant behind it.
Beautifully filmed. Endless subjects from which to produce artwork.
Thank you!
I, too, loved the debate about the persicaria. She's right, of course. This was a fabulous video. Alexandra, I just love your channel and watch everything. I am gardening on Vancouver Island, Canada (zone 8b).
Thank you so much!
@Christopher Johnson Hello! I'm from mid Vancouver Island, Courtenay - just north in a small farming area.
Very helpful design tips!
Haha, I love the debate at the end! And of course, that is a beautiful border! Alexandra, I would love some tips on striking a balance for creating interest in the wintertime too.
Great idea, I must start looking around as it will be on us, soon.

Very good tips. I'm planting an area by a privacy hedge, so it gives me some good ideas on how I want things to look.
“It offends me” lol I love it!
Ita a beautiful plant! I think it would look awesom in both places!!
This was a wonderful discussion!

That was really just WONDERFUL, every second of it. Please doo more like that!
Fabulous video! I love this philosophy. Very inspiring, and I love to see those dahlias worked into that sort of natural border.
Thank you!
I agree with the lady on the persicaria; I find it's muted reds and gauzy appearance quite lovely against the coneflowers and the red-leaved ricinus plant. And the red cosmos. Pretty!
It is pretty, I agree
A great video as usual. I loved the discussion between the two passionate gardeners. Thanks for posting.
Thank you Alexandra for another very informative interview and tour !
Beautiful
I liked the way he talked about how a plant develops from early Spring until it fades in the Fall.
Very informative video, thank you, setting me thinking.
Truly spectacular!
That pericardia looks great! The foliage and flower are dainty itcomplimenting the pinks and reds and lavender on its texture and form is perfect contrast and fill!!
It should stay. Thanks for showing. Will be looking at my boarders this weekend to see what it needs
I think I'll have another look at mine too...
LOVE the persicaria!!!

Wonderful instruction from persons who love gardening.Its infectious! A brake from depressing Covid news.
Thanks Alexandra. A really interesting blog. The Persicaria should definitely stay by the way. 😘
Thank you!
Stunning perennial border !!! I love it so colourful and beautiful love the mixture of plants I have a mini perennial border which I love playing around with so yours is very inspiring for me thankyou for sharing
Learned a lot from the argument. Great pro and com points. Made the video not only more interesting but educational. Thanks.
Thank you! I learned lots too.
I love the way the persicaria intermingles with the other plants!
A wonderful talk on the garden. I learned here that I have to begin trimming.
Love the informative video!! Like the different heights and drama. I suggest verbena bonaires and orange and yellow cosmos with persicaria. 😎👍🌺
Sounds great!
