Hostas, Heucheras & Pulmonarias for Shade in my Woodland Garden 🌿🌳🌿// Suburban Oasis

- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024

There are some varieties that can tolerate some sun and some that need all shade to thrive. Overall they are very hard plants that require very little care and maintenance. I do not fertilize them or provide any supplemental water once they are established.

Please see the description box for detailed information on the growing conditions for each plant mentioned in order of the video. 🥰🌸🪴🌺
You've done well with your garden. Looks wonderful. One comment on your large hosta you think is Frances Williams. It isn't. May be a Supernova. FW has blue green leaves with a gold border which tends to burn.
@@deancornett4432 interesting! It was sold as frances Williams and I never noticed the reverse variegated, but it must be a different variety 🤔🌷🌻⚘️
@@deancornett4432 could be a Great Expectations....
Kudos to the Mister for all the grunt work & patience he' s given to the work in process! Did I mention his camera work? Sol you are truly blessed💞
He is a good man!!😊🌷💐💮
I love all your plants and the way you combined them. Very beautiful.
Thanks, Julie! 🥰🌸🌼🍁
Thanks for making me aware that limbing up my trees should be done on a regular basis. I thought it was once and done. 🌸
Your garden is lovely. Thanks for giving the names of all your hostas.
I love how the pathway curves around the hostas and shade plants. I bet it looks magical in the rain or even after 😃
Rain definitely makes everything more magical!!🥰🌳🌷🌾
You have a ton of hostas! They all have different colors and textures, which makes the bed so visually appealing. The pops of color from the huecheras and huecherellas make the woodland garden so lovely. You can have a beautiful garden with foliage, for sure. Such a lovely area. I love seeing your garden with its different areas.
Yessss! Just say no to boring right? Thanks such for watching and sharing Jennifer! 😄🌸⚘️💮
To think you did all of this in 16 years...lots of hard work. Great tour 👌
It's a labor of love, right?😉🌼💐🌻
Beautiful garden. Thank you for the tour.

Your garden is just beautiful 😍! Thank you for such a great informative video! Love ❤️ all hostas! You're an amazing gardener!
Thank you my friend!🤗💐🏵🌺
Thanks for the tour and for sharing how you developed this area. And thanks for listing all the variety names. That was very helpful!
So glad the list was helpful!!🤗🌿⚘️🪴
Absolutely gorgeous, thanks for sharing. I am a big hosta lover and your garden gave me so many ideas. Super enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you, Noemi!!🤗🌼💐🌸
Love, love, love your Woodland Garden. So beautiful and serene! All your plants are healthy and obviously well cared for. The Lungwort plant you showed is gorgeous! Many thanks for this tour! 👏🪴🥰
Thank you, Peggy! So glad you enjoyed the shade garden! 😎🌷🌸⚘️
Hi Soleil! All your hard work is showing! Your garden is so healthy and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!😊💖🌸🐝🦋👍🙌👋🌼
Thanks Beatrice!🤗🥀🌸☘️
Love your garden - thanks for sharing!
Thanks Deborah!🤗🌻🌿🪴
My gosh..now I've gotten so many MORE ideas, thanks Soleil! Loved the contrast of the chartreuse hosta and the mahoghany heuchera. It works quite well 🍷 cheers
Cheers to ideas!🤩🌸⚘️💮
Simply Stunning! Always enjoy
Thank you! Cheers, Yvonne! 🥰🌿🪴🏵
I just built an extension to my garden and for some reason I decided to trim around all the plants in rocks 😊 I love that look. Your gardens are beautiful 🤩
I bet the extension will bring you much joy! 🥰💐🌼🌷
@@Suburbanoasis it’s turning out to be my favourite part so I’ll have to camp up the rest of the garden 😊
Your garden is absolute goals for me!!! It is so luscious and beautifully designed. I have a tiny, mostly bright shade front yard that I am in the process of turning into a no-mow pollinator garden. I have mostly heucheras, pulmonarias, brunneras, and hostas (along with some other assorted pollinator attractors) so this video is like a glimpse into HOPEFULLY what my garden will look like when the plants mature. Thank you for sharing!!
Oh it sounds like it will be magnificent!🥰🌿🌷🌼
Thanks for the beautiful tour. Have a wonderful day
You too! 😍🌷🌸🌻
So lovely, thx u for sharing!!
Thanks for watching! 😍🍀🪴🏵
Totally AWESOME!!!
I love it, thank YOU!!!😉🌷🌿🌸
Such a beautiful garden . Thank you for sharing ,
Thanks!🥰🌾🌿💐
Thank you for sharing your Hosta knowledge , I actually took notes. I ordered some through a seller on Amazon and they are thriving. I’m working on a secret garden, your channel has provided me with many ideas ☺️
Sounds lovely!!🙃🌸🌻🌺
Love your garden and you gave me some great ideas. I also love Lungwort in my garden
Thank you!
thank you ...interstingly enoughI am having a hard time figuring out how to extend my existing border garden. This video has visually open my scope to extend it with the appropriate plants to keep it easy to the eye.
So glad to hear it, thank you! 🤗🏵🍀🌸
Gorgeous shade garden!
Thank you! Cheers! 🤗🌸🌷🪻
Truly wonderful....
Thanks! 🙂💐🌷🌸
I always look forward to your garden tours!! I love your pathways and am looking at my own to see how I can incorporate more rocks and showcase areas. I am in your zone. I had mainly all hostas until we lost a big tree and so im.having to transition to more sun. Thank you for sharing!
Transitions can be hard but also a fun time to try something new! Good luck with it!😍🌹🌼🌷
@@Suburbanoasis For sure! I need to embrace it and not overthink it! I look forward to your videos! Your gardens are just spectacular!
I just came across your U Tube channel and so happy I did. I’m from Michigan also and Love to garden 5b also. Can’t wait to get out and start gardening. Thanks really enjoy you! 💐🌷🌸
Welcome!! Thank you for joining!! 🤗🌿🌼🌺
Happy to see that you are up and about. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I have been putting off my woodland area, because of the snakes that live there. However, I think I will try very very very small areas at a time and hopefully make it prettier. We are just going to have to share the space somehow 😬😬
Good luck Farrah! 🥰🌻🌼🌿
Love your garden soleil! Beautiful. I would encourage everyone to look for a perennial plant exchange in your city or town. I started one where I live and we have almost 1000 members and we give away divisions or put up what we are looking for and what we have for exchange. Works out so well. If you offer to come divide - your neighbors are usually happy for you to come!
Definitely! It's a great way to save 💰, thanks for sharing! 🥰🌳🏵🌷
What a great garden. All the best for you from Germany.
Many thanks, Mathias! 🤗⚘️🪷🌿
😲 tks now I no what to do yeah you answer all my questions
Glad to hear it!🙃💐🌸🌺
love this
Thank you 🤗🌼💐🌿
Enjoyed video found it interesting and informative and your garden is really lovely..
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Soleil, I really enjoyed the tour of your shade gardens, they are so lovely and filled with color.
I love hostas and heucheras, and I have quite a few of those same hostas in my garden, plus several that you don't have. If I didn't live so far away, I would definitely share some with you. Seeing how your garden looks with the color that the heucheras provide, I really need to add some, like the Mahogany Monster and Mulberry heucheras. Have a fun week in your gardens. ~Margie💚🦋🌞
There are soany varieties of hosta its is crazy!!! Glad you enjoyed it and wish you could share. 😄🌸🌿💮
Great video. Mahogany monster heuchera was my favorite. Thanks
It's a good one!!🥰💐🌸🪴
Soleil your hard work and patience surely paid off.Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks Heather! Always a work in progress. 😉💐🌻🌾
@@Suburbanoasis so true.On to the next.Haha
Ho I finally purchased a root slayer on my I don't know ehat took me so long to get this wonderful tool. I love it it really works.
So glad to hear that you got it and love it!! 🤗🌺🌼💐
I needed this video so much...we are trying to develop a shady areai n the farm and can't decide what plants to start with. Thank you! What a beautiful creation.
Glad it helped!
Beautiful Soleil 💕 and I cannot wait to split my Hostas 🌸💕🌸
Have fun making more plants Jasmine!🤗🌿💐🌼
Soleil your garden never ceases to amaze🥰💚, such an inspiration to us gardeners. You make hostas, which to some are not interesting and can border on boring, to the star of the show. The groupings really flow with one another, especially with the heuchera.
Thank you Elizabeth! Hostas can be fun!😀🌺🌸💐
Definitely Soleil, and your beautiful garden is proof of that😊
자연의 돌과 화초의 조화로운 정원 아름답습니다😊
Thank you so much! 🤗🌺🪻🌿
One hundred thousand views. 🎉wondrous master gardener 🎉
Many many thanks!!
I know the honeysuckle is a pain, but I do love the pattern of its trunk. Everything looks great!
Thank you! 😍🌷💮💐
Wonderful
Thanks!🥰💐🌻🍀
This was so helpful Soleil! Thank you so much for listing all the plants shown as well. It gives me hope and inspiration that I can eventually make my wooded shade area prettier - I just started working on it last fall and only really have baby hostas that all started as bare root.
We’ve not had significant rain here in Chicagoland for a couple of weeks, nothing in the forecast for another fortnight, and have another heatwave coming this week so I’m out there watering them early every morning💦
The wooded area has several buckthorns trees that I can’t really do anything about (they’re big, and right on the property line/easement between ours and a neighbors) so keeping the suckers in check is also a challenge.
These heatwaves are crazy! I bet they will enjoy their drink. You may want to water less often but for longer periods of time for deeper watering as that can help establish roots. 🤗🌸🌺🪴
@@Suburbanoasis Makes total sense, thanks for the advice!🥰🌱💕
@@Suburbanoasis That’s what I was going to suggest as well - roughly overwater them every few days or so to encourage deeper root growth.
Loved the video. I just got through adding about 10 plants to my treeline garden. Mostly Hostas. And all were bare root. They look so tiny and helpless. But hopefully they will all do well. I bought them on sale from Brecks.
I am sure they will get bigger, they just need to establish themselves!🤗🌼🌸💮
Janet N I also buy from them too, just make sure the soil is moist, most of the Plants I have in my garden I bought from catalog, I baby them the first year and by the second year you will see lot of improvement, just bought three hibiscus no leaves as yet and I am not even worried
Oh my gosh, I have shade garden envy! Absolutely spectacular garden. I live in southeast MI. We get a lot of deer in the area and they will not let me enjoy hostas or mist everything I plant😊
Thank you so much. I definitely use a lot of liquod Fence 😉🌺🪴🌹
Every time I stick a spade in our soil I hit a rock so I’m edging with rocks too. Only problem is when an ants nest gets made underneath them. Those bites hurt.
I occasionally get ant bites too. Cool that you ha e free rocks but is probably frustrating to dig! 😏🏵🌿🌷
I use boiling water on my ants. It helps 😊

❤❤❤ garden is beautiful...is it possible for the camera person to get closer when your pointing out a specific plant.. thank you for sharing. I have started a hosta and heuchera garden. I will take your suggestions ❤❤❤
Learning the history of your woodland garden and how you have developed the area into the beautiful landscape that it is today, just raises my admiration of your gardening skills beyond the 'gardener extraordinaire' level. Did you actually dig up all the old yew stumps or did you compost over them and then plant? How many seasons/years of stick and branch dumping did it take for you to level the area? Thank you for sharing your gardening expertise. You are such an inspiration.
Thank you so much! We cut the stumps down to the ground and then covered them with soil and mulch. We put leaves and small sticks in the area for a few years before that.😉💐🌸🌺
Can I divide hostas this spring? I have some that have outgrown their area and I need them elsewhere ?
I love Krossa Regal. I divide it on a regular basis.
I think mine is finally big enough to consider doing it 🙃🌸🌷🌼
I love the sound of the train
I'm getting wonderful inspiration and ideas from your beautiful shade garden - thank you for this video! Question for you - how do you keep your beautiful hostas from being shredded by rabbits?
Yay!! I spray with liquid fence to keep the rabbits and deer away. 🙃🏵🪴🌷
So I’ve just come across your you tube which is amazinggggggg!!!! I live in W Mich. Do you do garden tours?
I have only done a couple tours so far with gardening groups. 🙃
You have a beautiful garden. Could you please do a video on how you divide your hostas/heucheras? What time of the year do you do it? It would be very helpful. Thanks!
Hi Anu, here is one I did on that. ruclips.net/video/q2EjyzWVtUw/видео.html 😊🌻🌷🌿
@@Suburbanoasis Thank you!
How do you keep the slugs/snails from eating holes in your hostas? They look gorgeous!
For the most part, I think the birds and animals eat them. We have a ton of wildlife in the garden. 🥰🌺🌷🌿
Your shade garden is beautiful! Is it as easy to divide heucheras as it is hostas? I have a lot of hostas due to dividing them so many times, but only a few heucheras and I tried to divide one right out of the nursery container, but it doesn't look to good right now. Also how often and what do you use to fertilize the shade garden?
Heucheras are not quite as tough as hostas in my experience. Some will throw a bit of a fit after you divide them, but give them time and they should grow on!😍⚘️🌼🌷
Do the hostas die back completely in the winter time, and grow back this big each year? Wonderful beds you've made.
Yes, the hostas die back every year and come back. Thanks so much! 🤗🪴🥀🌼
How do you keep all the debris that falls from the trees out of your paths? Especially in the fall? If you blow the leaves does it not also blow your mulch away?? Thank you!
I just blow them away on a low setting so it doesn't blow out the mulch. 😉🌼🌻🪻
Some of my hostas get brown spots on the leaves which is not too attractive. One in particular is a large hosta and is in somewhat of a sunny spot. What can I do. Thank you
Most hostas need only part shade to shade so that could be the reason so they may need to be moved to a little more shade. 👍🌻💐🌺
I also have a Buckthorn and am in Zone 5b. I've been told, I should have it removed. How do you feel about yours?
I don't like it and would love to remove it but need to get another tree growing first for the shade.😉💐🌷💮
My neighbors trees take over half of my yard. I am currently working on a shade garden.
Sounds like a fun project! 🤗🪴🌼🪻
Do you divide your hostas in the fall?
Typically in the spring or fall, sometimes in the summer, but they take a lot more tending to when I do that. 🤪🏵💐🌸
I absolutely love the look of a woodland garden but here in East Texas we have snakes. How can i get that look without the snakes(copperheads).😢
I wish I had an answer for that....hawks??? 😉💐🌼🌸
Where do you buy your hostas?
Home depot, Lowes, any nursery... wherever I see one I want. 🥰🌺🪴🌼
Where does one buy the root plugs?
I am not sure what root plugs you are referring to??
@@Suburbanoasis for the hostas (I thought you mentioned in the video buying root plugs of hostas???) I can listen again, maybe I misunderstood...
Whats that blue thing on your knee?
KT tape after knee surgery for all tear. 🤪🏵🪴⚘️
Hosta ‘American Standard’
Hi Chris! When I looked this one up is came up as Royal Standard??? They smell so good. 🙃🌷💐💮
