I always love going on a tour of your garden, Soliel. I learn something every time. Your recall of the plant varieties is so impressive! Something I'm really working on.
And here I am so appreciative of your intro and zone identification! Wish more UTube garden channels would do it. Your garden channel gives me so much pleasure and knowledge. Thanks from Canada❤️
Beautiful! I live a little North of you, Green Oak…and my sprinklers have been whirling 😱I’m on a well. Thank you for all you tips and sharing your magical garden❤
Not really in a "heat wave," but definitely lacking some rain. (Zone 7 MD) Everything is blooming 2 weeks earlier than normal, and a lot of flowers aren't lasting nearly as long as normal. Many things are in the "leaping" year, so the gardens are quite full. I love all the colors of your hostas. I wish my salvia would stay together like yours. I had to corral mine because they were splaying open. I guess it could be a sun issue (maybe getting only 4 hours midday). I'm ready for a cutback with hopes of more blooms later. Here's hoping those of us who need rain get it!!
Hi Janice, I hope you get some rain soon too. The salvia likes full sun for sure and doesn't like to be in moist soil so it sounds like the sunay be the issue like you said. Enjoy your leap year! 😄💮🪷🌿
I've recently found your garden site and absolutely love what you have done! I also appreciate you letting us know which variety of plant you have, and I've written down quite a few to add to my own garden. Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers with us all !!
I love your garden tours! I usually pause the video and look up plants you mention and sometimes even order them haha. Everything always looks so amazing in your garden.
That's what I love about youtube all the sharing of information. Garden centers are limited in space so sometimes we don't get exposed to new plants anywhere but youtube! 🥰🌺☘️🌷
Very challenging year for gardening. We haven't had rain since May 20 here in Central Ohio and none in the near future either. 😫 By the way, would love to jump in that pool right now. 😄
I totally agree with your choice of cutting back your daffodils! Their leaves make the beds look so messy. I gave them about 3 weeks to absorb whatever sunshine they could gather for next year and then just cut them back yesterday! Such a sigh of relief that the clean up made my beds look so much better! I love all your gardens, especially the shade garden! I’ve been working on a very long shade garden for a couple of years and you give me inspiration and vision! Thank you for the continuing tours! Love watching each bed pop!
Sola, your design gets better every year! It has been great watching you grow. You are a great Gardner. I hope I can get as good as you are in the next few years.😊keep it up girl!!! Texas 8-9😊
LOVELY x 100 !!! Something new in bloom weekly, if not every few days, I'm sure! How/when do you cut back your chive blooms? Do you save the seeds and scatter them around? I'm trying this concept this year (Erin from Impatient Gardener does her chive hedge which is beautiful). Can you throw in some lighting stats while you're filming (here and there)? My daughter has astilbes in full shade that bloom, but just aren't bulking up much (year 3). Wondering if they might need PART sun/part shade conditions instead of full shade - yours look FABulous!!! Thank you for sharing your hard work and passion with us!!!
I will be cutting my chives back sometime this week and they may rebloom for me once or twice during the rest of the season. They are very easy to divide the clumps to make more! 🤩🌿🌾🌴
SOLEIL: at 9:16, there's a small-leaved plant, upright growth, that's the same strawberry blonde as the fence (w the addition of some pink) -- Is that a barberry? It's just to the left of the weigela that is chock-full of set buds about to bloom (along the fence) WHAT, exactly, is that plant, please?? Thx. Yoir garden is outstandingly beautiful. As usual. The 2 beds, across the pretty path from one another, make me want to call them the "Needlepoint Beds". They would be lovelu rendered in hand-dyed, silk embroidery threads. 12:58
Love the beautiful combination of the purple salvia and the lime green box wood. I need more contrast in my garden!Great job on your gardens, they are so gorgeous .❤️Gail
You have such beautiful, well-manicured gardens. What kind of honeysuckle is in the pot with Buddha? The Multi-blue Clematis is amazing! I wish I had seen this video with it before I bought my new-this-season Rhapsody. Your fence is very nice and in great condition, but have you thought about painting it a dark gray or black which I've seen several gardeners doing? Because of your Heaven Scent Jacob's Ladder, I am trying it this year. In case you haven't noticed by now, you and your garden have had a big influence on me and mine. Wonderful tour. Thanks, so much.
Love your garden. SO BEAUTIFUL, I been asking my self how you keep shade loving plants and full sun together. I can't do that here in zone 6B. But GOD bless your garden always inspire me thank you sharing
Thank you so much! A lot really depends on what time of day they get sun and their water needs. If a sun plant can tolerate part sun and a shade plant can tolerate part sun they can sometimes be homed together. 🥰🌿⚘️🏵
Thank you Soleil! I broke down and did a complete watering today. It’s been very dry in Orange County NY zone 6A. Everything perked up nicely. Hoping for rain midweek.
Pgh pa we have had 90 for 5 days, no rain for 8 days and no rain in site for at least 10 days. Going to be doing a rain dance soon. The temp is suppose to drop into the 70 starting tomorrow. Your garden is spectacular. It is loving this weather and you have done awesome. I wonder if you ever consider putting in soaker hoses???
I have considered it and ine time actually did, but then hoses got cut when planting and it was just kinda frustrating so I took them out. Maybe when I feel like I have my garden the way I want it (but will that ever really happen?). 😁🌷🪴🌻
Your gardens are absolutely gorgeous!! I wonder if you could tell me what tiered fountain you have in the backyard (3:58), maybe a link? I've been searching for awhile and I love yours!
Love the tour! I have a question. Did your Ninebarks flower in their first year? I have a Gingerwine and 2 Diablos. All very healthy. One of the Diablos even survived being under water for over a week when we had torrential rains last month. They are all in their third season and have never flowered. I am growing them for the foliage and actually forgot they are supposed to flower until I saw your video. My Azure Snow is flowering now also. This is a relatively new plant for me. I love it. Good luck with the dry spell. Here in Southern Maine we are having a ton of rain and its in the 50s! 😮
@@Suburbanoasis Hmm.. The Diablos maybe but the Gingerwine definitely has enough sun. Oh well. No great tragedy there. My Brandywine Viburnum has flower buds for the first time this year and is in its 3rd year. Maybe next year. Thanks for the reply.
Hi Soleil. Very dry here in St Louis area. My Foxgloves are just about done here. Everything else in my garden looking pretty good. What is variety of the pretty blue Veronica u have? I am also happy with my Blue Muffin Viburnum bushes (first year). One blooming and the other not. “MyGirl” rose bushes has been a prolific bloomer so far and need to fertilize again
How do you get your Johnson's Blue geranium to bloom all summer. Mine only bloom in the spring. They are very old, could that have something to do with it. I live in southeast Michigan. I love your gardens.
My hellabores were planted under my maple tree with a few hours sun first thing in the morning but with my tree losing limbs due to high wind storms they are now in alot of sun, how much sun can they really take? It seems all of my shade areas are becoming sun beds 😭
Hi Stephanie, I hear you, it is important if you are hand watering to ensure you don't just give a bit of a sprinkle where you are just watering the surface of the plant roots, but that is really gets down through the root balls. If you are using a regular hose it would probably take about a good minute to water one plant. But then you shouldn't have to water that plant again for about a week. This encourages the roots to continue to reach down for the water. This is just my experience and you may have to experiment in your garden depending on the plant and soil. 🥰🌸🌼💐
can you tell me the difference between the pink profusion and back to the fuchsia salvia. would you recommend one over the other. . looking at them at the garden center they seem to have the same color blooms. thank you
@Suburban Oasis thank you. your gardens are beautiful and i make my plant wish lists when I see how beautiful yours are Im also 5b Southeastern Wi. we had an all day rain today the plants are so happy. it's headed your way🙂
Your garden looks very beautiful..but I saw the Buddha statue placed at the edge of the pond is very inappropriate. Because Buddha images are meant to be worshipped for people who believe in Buddhism. Buddha statues are sacred to Thai people..I suggest you remove it from that area and enshrine it somewhere else or raise it higher. I will be very grateful to you. Buddha statues are not for garden decoration. I would like you to do more research before you present them. Thank you if you follow and honor our religion, Thai people.
I can't get over how beautiful your gardens are.
Thank you so much! 🤗🌸🍀🪴
Your woodland garden looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing..
I always love going on a tour of your garden, Soliel. I learn something every time. Your recall of the plant varieties is so impressive! Something I'm really working on.
Sometimes I slip up and the wrong word comes out, but I do my best to remember them because people ask a lot! 🤗🌿⚘️🏵
And here I am so appreciative of your intro and zone identification! Wish more UTube garden channels would do it. Your garden channel gives me so much pleasure and knowledge. Thanks from Canada❤️

Awesome! Thank you! Welcome, so glad you joined! 🤗🪴🌸🌷
Beautiful garden.
That’s a gorgeous shade of pink honeysuckle, Soleil…do you know the name of it? Everything in your gardens looks beautiful!
Carolyn, it's called Goldflame Honeysuckle, and it was the first time I saw one that I liked the colors and had to try it out! 🤩🪴🌻🌿
Love your clematis 😁 and everything else of course 😉
Wow wow wow.Beautiful,
I love your garden tours! I usually pause the video and look up plants you mention and sometimes even order them haha. Everything always looks so amazing in your garden.

Anyone notice the deer down in the lower section of the yard at 15:13 of the video?!! Pretty awesome! Keep them away from your hosta's though!!
Liquid fence all fired up! 🥰🌺🌼💐
Clematis is so beautiful 😊
I think I need a bigger trellis! 😄🌸🌷🌼
always a treat thanks for sharing
The purple sensation you can dry and spray them Gold for holiday season.
Very challenging year for gardening. We haven't had rain since May 20 here in Central Ohio and none in the near future either. 😫 By the way, would love to jump in that pool right now. 😄
Come on rain! We need you! 🤪🌸🌼💐
I want that blue Veronica. I love them
It is beautiful, if only it bloomed a little longer. 🤩🌸🪻🌼

Glad you find it inspiring, Nancy! The daffodil foliage is a nice compromise for letting them feed and getting them cleaned up! 🙃🏵⚘️🌿
What a lovely garden .. I think for my garden I need to do zones with names as well .. love your eye for plants
So nice of you, thank you! Have fun naming them. 😃🌾🌷🌼
Sola, your design gets better every year! It has been great watching you grow. You are a great Gardner. I hope I can get as good as you are in the next few years.😊keep it up girl!!!

The best thing about gardening is you can just keep learning new things! Thanks so much! 🤗🌼🌵🌷
I have to have some blue Hostas!!!!
Enjoyed ur walk..tq
Breathtaking!!!

Now if everything cam just make it through this dry spell! 😄🍀🌼💐
Love Your Garden Lots To See. 🤍💜🌺🌷🪴🌳
My drumstick alliums have already come and gone in a weeks time here in central Indiana, so frustrating as heck this year.
The anticipation of the bloom is so fun, but then it has been disappointingly short this season. 🫣🌼🌴🌻
Amazing
Beautiful plants,Great job ❤
SOLEIL: at 9:16, there's a small-leaved plant, upright growth, that's the same strawberry blonde as the fence (w the addition of some pink) -- Is that a barberry?

Garden is beautiful. I love the plants in yr shade garden. Thanks for sharing.
Love the beautiful combination of the purple salvia and the lime green box wood. I need more contrast in my garden!Great job on your gardens, they are so gorgeous .❤️Gail
Thank you!🤗🌼🌸🌷
Normally when the Spirea is blooming we get torrents of rain and a wind storm I was hoping for this, this year with no luck.
😭🌱🪴💮
Your garden is beautiful ❤. I love that fountain 💕💕. Where can I get one ??? Thank you for sharing 😊
Hello, I got the fountain on Wayfair. 🙃🌼🌷🌾
We may have had one 90 degree day if that so far in South Carolina its been a crazy year.
Guess we got your water and a wildfire here in Michigan this year. How strange. 🫣🌷🌿🌾
I love your gardens!! Your hosts collection is amazing.
Thank you so much!🌹🌼🌿🙃

I always enjoy seeing your beautiful garden. I like seeing how it’s changed from year to year. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much, Karen! 🥰🌺🪴🌹
I love your design style and enjoyed the tour! I missed the name of the blue Hosta at 19:25. It is gorgeous!
That one is Krossa Regal. 🙃🪴🌼🌸
Thanks!
Hi, your garden is beautiful and I’m so excited that we are in the same zone 👍
Question: where do you get your garden boarder stones from please
Thank you. I get the stones from farmers and neighbors or people getting rid of them kn Facebook marketplace for cheap. 🥰🌲🏵🌿

If you don't move things a lot or dig too much it works great! 🥰🌿🌾🌼
Very beautiful garden.! I enjoyed the tour!
Love your garden and the trip to the nursery you went to. One thing tho your introduction could be removed I think people just fast forward thru it.
Thanks for your input! 🙃🌸🪻🌷
Nonsense
I just love how tall and upright your big hostas are! Is there any special treatment to get them to grow that way, or is it just their nature?
They are mature hostas and just grow that way for me, i really dont do anything special. 🥰🌲🪴🌼

How do you get your Johnson's Blue geranium to bloom all summer. Mine only bloom in the spring. They are very old, could that have
something to do with it. I live in southeast Michigan. I love your gardens.
I will cut them back hard after they have petered out their initial blooms and then I get some more, not as prolific, but worth the effort. 🤗🌺🌿🌳
Question about the junipers in the blue pots by your pool..do you leave them out over the winter?
I just planted them this year as I ha e some viburnums I am taking out and will plant the juniper where they were this fall. 🥰🪴🌼🌻
Question: Looking at the space between the limelight & two evergreens - are you worried that it will grow larger than the space?
I am hoping to will grow and be formed into a semi tree form with the blooms where the arborvitae separate away from each other at the top. 🥰🌺🪴🌸
My hellabores were planted under my maple tree with a few hours sun first thing in the morning but with my tree losing limbs due to high wind storms they are now in alot of sun, how much sun can they really take? It seems all of my shade areas are becoming sun beds 😭
It really depends on the hellebore. If they get enough water, some of them can take part sun pretty well. I have a few in that situation. 🙃🌸🌿⚘️
How do you know if you've watered deeply? I've always struggled with that.
Hi Stephanie, I hear you, it is important if you are hand watering to ensure you don't just give a bit of a sprinkle where you are just watering the surface of the plant roots, but that is really gets down through the root balls.

Primarily the color of pink dawn is lighter pink and back to the fuschia is a brighter pink. 🙃💐🌳🌻
