Thank you. I am surprised that your Hostas are still alive, in the UK mine die every winter and come back in greater numbers in spring. I like what you did with the Ivy at 5:44, I will try and do the same decorative effect. And now I must try and get some Ivy Goldheart as I have not come across this before. On Carex, I have Carex Ice Dance, in the summer one plant turned brown at the base and died, the other was doing really well and now has some of that browning at the base of leaves. We get so much rain in the UK and the Carex I have is sheltered so I doubt its excessive water.
My Hostas are all dormant as well in the shade corner ☺️ Ivies are the best, I love those with larger leaves too like Algerian Ivy (Hedera canariensis). So sorry to hear about your Carex! Mine get a ton of rain water in the Fall/Winter season and they seem okay. Maybe yours are planted a bit too deep in the pot (if the crown of the plant is below the soil level this could cause it to rot). Hope it bounces back 🤞
@@17m2garden ah, I see, - on your video at 0:58 you were showing the summer view and I thought this was now, in the summer view of course, the hostas are alive.
Hey 👋! Oh lovely! You won't regret it it's such a fun feature and if you pick a slightly larger pot you can underplant it with some spring bulbs or pansies 😍!
The Ivy is my favorite today even though I am more of flowers person. Have thought of trying Camellia? They are gorgeous in the Winter and grow in Zone 8. Happy New Years. 😊
I love flowers too but in the winter I especially appreciate Ivy. Totally agree with you Camelias provide beautiful winter interest but for some reason I'm not a huge fan of this plant ☺️ Happy New Year 🎉!
Tulips, daffodils and grape hyacinths in some, and in others daffodils, mini alliums and crocus... I don't know how they'll be, but I'm excited anyway 😊
I have a pittosporum tenuifolium on my balcony in a very tall/large planter (my husband bought a small plant of it about 2-3 years ago, because he'd seen a large mature shrub in a friend's garden and liked the scent of the flowers) - it's not super interesting to look at, but nice for a bit of background green in winter. In late summer, I bought a discounted "ready-planted" hanging basket from a local DIY shop, mainly for the planter itself, but as a bonus I got a variegated ivy, a dwarf conifer, bugle (ajuga reptans) which are all evergreen. As well as heartsease (viola tricolor) which has disappeared into the soil, and a few different pinks (dianthus), whose foliage is still going despite the flowers finishing a couple of months ago - I think the foliage is still around because we've not had any really hard frosts in the UK yet. Eventually, I'm planning to position the ivy so it climbs up the wall (in a position where we can easily control it/deal with any problems - if they arise - with how it affects the brickwork). And I also have a sundew (thought I'd leave it out over winter to see how hardy it is) which is bizarrely trying to flower.
Hi! These are some really beautiful winter plants that you have in your garden 😍! Very inspiring! Sounds like that hanging basket was such a great bargain! I have never tried Ajuga in containers, did it do well in your basket? That's so funny cause I did the same with one of my carnivorous plants! I have Venus flytrap and I placed it outside to see if it survives, so far it's still alive even though it was -6 already 🫣.
dominika you make it looks so easy. 😢 my hellebores have stayed absolutely the same for months and months now, apart from two that simply vanished, along with my astilbe, dicentra and columbines. i feel like i lost a number of plants in my sunny balcony too. but i can see some of my bulbs showing their tips ❤ cant wait for spring color!
Oh no! I am really sorry to hear that! I have lost plants this summer too due to intense heat. You just made me realise that maybe I should show those kinds of things more often 💚 That's great that your bulbs are doing well and hopefully bring you lots of joy in the spring. P.S if you haven't gotten rid of your Dicentra yet - it's normal for them to completely "disappear" after they finish flowering, but they normally should come back in the spring 🤗
Lol I didn't even realise I said that again 🤣 When something gets stuck in my head it's hard to erase. I'll pay attention to not make that mistake again, thanks 🫣

Sweet winter tour.👍 I'm excited to up-pot my ivy and put it on a trellis...influenced by yours.😃

Good information 👍👍
Beautiful garden
Thank you very much!
Hi!
I have winter pansies and cyclamen in my containers. I also have my first ever bulb lasagna containers that am so excited for 😊
Hi! These are some really cute winter flowers! That's exciting, what bulbs did you plant in your lasagna 😍?
Tulips, daffodils and grape hyacinths in some, and in others daffodils, mini alliums and crocus... I don't know how they'll be, but I'm excited anyway 😊
@@SEWalty That's a really lovely mix of bulbs! Good luck 🤞🌷
