I took a Dixie cup full if tradescantia pallida (Purple Heart) from my sisters garden two years ago and now I have a border over 10 feet long and two foot wide thick and it is beautiful, perennials in my 7b zone.
Looking lovely in your garden as always. I'm growing Blackbeard penstemon (beard tongue) for the first time. It bloomed beautifully this spring and I'm liking the seed stalks too.
Great video! Beautiful plants! Spelling of plant names and some close ups would be super helpful! I would have loved to have seen some close up details of each plant rather than trying to google them after watching your video.
Christina Appleton Thank you for the great suggestion. I’ll make sure to do that in the future. For now, you can find names and links in the video description.
My tuff stuff is not blooming on new or old wood, the leaves are very full…so disappointing 😩 I have them in a pot and this is their 2nd season, I will give it another season….keeping my hope up still
I saw someone put chicken wire and create a cage and fill it with leaves in the autumn. It was on Proven winners I think, I would give that a go. Or you could grow this one in a pot and bring the pot into your garage thru winter?
Love the Aralia too, especially in that spot, but since you mentioned the original rootstock keeps sending up shoots, you will always be having to keep after those,, & you are aware of this, which is important. My concern is that there will be roots reaching under your deck, & with enough light coming in through the lattice, there may be shoots coming up below your deck. You will need to make those panels easy to remove, so the shoots can be quickly cut back. The nursery or research may tell you the full extent of the root system. I'm currently dealing with Sumac shoots popping up everywhere in my backyard, a compost pile & in among my huge hedge of Forsythia. I'm old & have an injured shoulder & an ankle, making this a worrisome chore, constantly hanging over my head. You might want to build a barrier to roots in the back of the root ball, or relocate the tree while still young, though it does suit the space visually.
Yep, this is already happening. Fortunately they grow very slowly and don’t have much opportunity to thrive, so our twice annual trips under the deck to turn the water on and off are the perfect time to scrub them out.
@@TheImpatientGardener You might try using Horticultural Vinegar @ 30%, which you may choose to dilute to 1 part vinegar to 2 pts water, or go 1pt to 1 pts. It can burn our skin, clothes, rubber, asphalt, & likely other materials, full strength - including sprayer parts.. You can use a foam paint brush to brush it on to fry new shoots, whereas cutting shoots off may stimulate the roots to send out more shoots, elsewhere. The vinegar will just shrivel the shoot, & maybe affect the root - a bit - but not likely to cause any harm or stimulation. The shoots'll be dead in a few hours.You may also cut the shoots then paint the fresh cut - which is what I'll do with the sumac & other saplings, saplings, plus bittersweet, poison ivy, etc. You might also consider root pruning at the back of the root ball, & sinking in a curved metal barrier. I have no idea where you might find such a thing, but you could cut a galvanized trash bin in 1/2, vertically, & sink the entire 1/2, including the 1/2 cut bottom. about 2' from the root ball, then backfill. Any shoots that might come up would run into the metal & then go vertical, before going under the porch or stairs, where it could be burnt by the HV.
I so love Hydrageneas! You make it look so easy to grow, and yet, I read so many people that fail to keep them alive, or have them for years and never bloomed for them, do you know why? It confused me and make me afraid to buy them...help!
I don't blame you for being confused to be honest. I really think it comes down to whether it blooms on old wood or new wood and what that means where you live. Some hydrangeas do better in some climates than others, so I think the trick is to make sure you're getting a great one for where you live. A local garden center should be able to provide some guidance.
Lorena Arias if you’re thinking of the hydrangeas at the end of the video, those are Incrediball hydrangeas. I think of those flowers as very ball shaped. My favorite panicle hydrangea with what I think of as cone-shaped flowers is Limelight.
What a incredible view of your yard from the deck I love the layers
love your garden!!

Absolutely gorgeous in combination with the Annabelle hydrangea
I love all 3. I'm doing tuff stuff aha this year! I'm so excited. I've been keeping my eye on that verbena as well. 💙🐝💙
I got Aha last year and it is to die for. I hope it overwinters well.

How beautiful. The shrub or tree you ended with is amazing. Wow. ‘
I’m glad I found you! Live in zone 5 and I can relate with plants and weather!! Thank you for sharing so much information 🌷🌷💕
Beautiful

Love Hydrangeas :)

I would love to see how your espalier is doing if you have the time. I planted mine from whips 2 summers ago.
Hello, can the tuff stuff survive full sun? summers are in the 90s.
I wish my garden center sold meteor shower verbena. I just don’t like ordering plants online. Too expensive when it comes to shipping.
What about the banana plant. I bought one after seeing Erin's past videos, it's incredible.
I am in zone 4. I love blue hydrangeas, but they are all zone 5. Do you think they can survive in zone 4 with some winter protection?
I saw someone put chicken wire and create a cage and fill it with leaves in the autumn. It was on Proven winners I think, I would give that a go. Or you could grow this one in a pot and bring the pot into your garage thru winter?
Gorgeous. What is the plant with big white blooms by your deck.absolutely beautiful
Proven Winners Incrediball hydragea

Great video. I also garden in zone 5. Question on the hydrangea. Can it take full sun?
Yes, that’s where I grow it in zone 5.
It is the first time watching your videos I 👍. But I would like to know the name of the white hydrange with those beautiful white cone flowers. Please
Lorena Arias if you’re thinking of the hydrangeas at the end of the video, those are Incrediball hydrangeas. I think of those flowers as very ball shaped. My favorite panicle hydrangea with what I think of as cone-shaped flowers is Limelight.
We are zone 4. Would your favorites work here?
Is Ah ha hydrangea grows in Seattle area? Can I plant in full shade?
Yes it will grow nicely for you but part sun would be a better spot.
Which state are you in?
None of the links work.
