- All About Summer Planting - In this video I go over my planting practices in the summer. I keep planting through the summer every year. I think getting plants that are only marginally winter hardy planted in the summer is the best strategy to have them survive the first winter. I water plants heavily and then I let dry out. I try not to baby them to much.

I linked a planting video and a summer watering video in the description. They go into details about the planting and maintaining of plants in the summer. Thanks for watching
HortTube with Jim Putnam I am so sorry. I have a place in my back yard that gets cooked from noon till 6-7:00 PM. I saw your video on thought full sun deer resistant plants. So I plan to put agapanthus and saliva. But the hydrangea stumped me.
I’m looking for your agapanthus planting link
Thank you. As a “newbie” to gardening I really learn from your explanations.🌲🌿
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL JIM!! Thanks for posting regularly!! Hope all is Well!!
Love from Kansas City !!
Thanks for following along!
It has been a godsend since I got back into gardening this year!
Minor comment regarding your suggestion regarding summer planting in zone 5 / 6 . We don't normally plant in the middle of the summer when temps are high 80's and above. Especially when we don't have good rain fall levels like this year 2020. We have far better success waiting and planting in the fall - mid Sept to late fall.. This is true for perennials, shrub and trees. It's common knowlege that we get great root development during the fall season. Most tree providers prefer fall planting over any other season. Of course we always suggest a good layer of mulch to make it through our cold winters. Thanks for allowing me to add to your body of knowledge. Love your videos! Coming to you from South Haven Michigan.
I was saying the same thing to myself. Im in Elkhart, IN. Fall is wonderful here
Great information Jim. I just bought a catmint plant and was going to fertilize when I planted it today but I will wait til next year.👍 thank you!
Thank you for answering when this should be planted in Houston. I needed that answer for a Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea. I’m going to plant it in a planter and under my covered patio until the temps go down.
The blue flowers are a nice contrast against that red-leaf hibiscus! 👍
Is that the plant to the right when he's holding the blue flowered hydrangea?
@@sharonrichardson6563 Yes 😀 It flowers too
What a beautifully filmed video! Thank you!
I hear you, I will plant from last frost to first frost!
Thank you for always providing quality gardening info! I'm in zone 8b and planted shrubs last week in full hot Texas sun. Omg, may the force be with me, or in this case, with my shrubs...😬
Lots of great information in this short video. Thanks, Jim! 🙌🌿🦋
Colors are more vibrant !
Great intro on this video. And tha t hibiscus is lovely. I usually don't care to have them in my garden, but that's an exceptionally nice plant. Your garden is really taking off!
Great video Jim, I'm in zone 5 Newfoundland, Canada, and I plant throughout the summer with no bad results so far. I wish I had found your channel before I planted my shrubs. I didn't leave them raised like you do, hopefully it doesn't hurt them to much. I'm supervising them carefully:)
Thank you, Jim...so much good, plain talk, no nonsense information. Btw, I actually like the smaller blooms; sometimes the blooms get so big and heavy, they overwhelm the plant.
Thanks Jim, you’re so knowledgeable!
Thank you for the info. I took a cutting last fall from my mother-in-law's hydrangeas. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what type it is. My mother-in-law passed away, husband and I inherited her home. I'm in zone 9b, I think. I was thinking fall to plant the baby hydrangeas and you confirmed that for me.
All your hard work is certainly paying off..everything is so beautiful!!! I truly love your videos hope you continue doing them I live just north of Savannah, Ga. zone 8. 🌺
I live in zone six and I've always heard you should wait until fall to plant, but those are always the plants that don't come back as well after winter. Thanks for confirming why that is!
Great information that’s very pertinent for me in central NC!
Thank you Jim! Learn a lot on planting plants in summer.
Love the contrasting colors in your garden. I'm in Zone 8b and thinking of planting hydrangeas soon.
Great info Jim.
❤️hydrangeas
Thank you! You answered two questions I had. I wondered why a garden center had full sun plants under shade cloths. I was buying a trellis and took a stroll around the plants. I noticed a plant with pretty green leaves and thought what is this? Turns out it was a Sunshine Ligustrum! There wasn't a speck of yellow on any of them. I bought two and was wondering how to introduce them to the sun.
Thanks for the inspiration and tips
Great info thanks 👍
That is gorgeous! You have come so far since you have purchased your home. I am just amazed at the work this spring/summer you have put in. Wow 🤩 I am zone 7 too and I plant thru summer usually but this year we had no rain for almost 3 weeks and humid 105 degree days, so I have some coneflowers, a butterfly, and a cascade butterfly bush in some shade until a little cooler 90’s weather to not stress them and me. We have too many water needs (pool, pond, garden, and tons of flowers- my oasis) on a well. Kind of crazy to say 90’s is cooler. I just mulched a thick layer in the grueling heat ( drenched me 😝 ) - anything for my plants. I love everything you have planted! All looks amazing!
great to know, I have two mophead hydrangeas that I planted in too much sun that I need to transplant, but I'm in zone 8b and have 99 degree days ahead of me, I'm going to wait to transplant until September. I also have mock orange that just gets too much hot afternoon sun, also want to transplant her (I think its also in the hydrangea family, definitely similarly high water needs)
I live in Zone 7a in No. Virginia and if I can't plant most plants in April, I wait until October 1. I've learned that from experience. Also, if I see a plant in the ground starting to wilt, I take it out and put it in a container to get it out of the afternoon sun.
I don't think I could go that long😁.
So beautiful flowers 🌸🌹🌹
Really appreciate..
I've had good luck planting even in the hottest part of the summer here in Dallas (zone 8a) as long as the plant gets shade during the middle of the day.
That is definitely a good strategy to continue to plant based on the sun and shade👍
Lovely and interesting... I would like to know what is that shrub with dark red leaves next to the hydrangea... It is just beautiful... I need some color foilage in my garden and that shrub is just outstanding... Thank you... Greetings from Croatia...
It might be a ninebark but don't quote me on that. Jim will probably get back to you
It is a Hibiscus call mahogany splender
@@JimPutnam my bad I was just going to comment that on watching the rest of the video it was a hibiscus. See this is why I watch you I didn't even know red foliage hibiscus was a thing.
Does that fertilizer rule apply to hardy banana or elephant ears who don’t slow down until cool nights start happening?
Wow. Is that the African Rose Mallow? That looks amazing. This is definitely what I need to bring color to the space while my plants grow in. BTW We are still planting in New England. It seems to me if it is B and B or container -- it is happier in the ground, provided there is drip irrigation...
I agree with you that in the ground is better than in the container. Mahogany slender is the name of the hibiscus
@@JimPutnam Thank you for sharing! I thought that these plants were largely propagated vegetatively...
Jim, thanks for your videos--they are always so educational. What about using a starter fertilizer like Biotone Plus by Espoma at this time of year when planting hardy perennials and shrubs? I generally use that in the hole regardless of when I plant because things generally seem to root in better and more rapidly with it. I don't tend to add in slow release fertilizers like Osmocote or do supplemental fertilizing with MiracleGro, but I do still add in Biotone. Please advise.
Thanks for this video. I have a curcuma, 3 dicentra and a dwarf bottlebrush should I wait until fall to plant? Zone 8a Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Also when can I move perennial salvia in z8a? Fall or early spring. Thank you
How do you keep your house radians blue mine turned pink when I bought it it was blue now they turn pink how do you keep them blue
Did you get a new camera, Jim? Everything looks so awesome and vivid, man. Your audio is even different.👍🏾👌🏾😁
Thanks. I do have some new equipment and I have a new camera ordered. Thanks for noticing.
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. I’m learning so much from you. I do have one question regarding fertilizing your plants at this time in the season. I live in Michigan, zone 5 and use my pond filter clean out water on my plants. Can I continue this or is it best to stop now too? Thank you !
As long as you are spreading it out a lot it shouldn't be a problem. Organic fertilizers will just stop working when the soil cools
HortTube with Jim Putnam Thank you!!
I planted a very small hydrangeas cutting in mid August, will it service winter??
Yikes. I just planted a summer crush. I’m in zone 9b. We have been get tons of rain and over cast. Hoping I can get these little plant through the August month.
Do u recommend fertilizing in my zone? Last winter we rarely dipped below freezing.
Is it ok if I prune a hydrangea when I plant it now? I’m in zone 7 and want to prune the hydrangea into a standard (tree shape) but not sure if I should prune that much now or wait until dormancy
What type of hibiscus is that? Any recommendations on upright columnar trees. Any trees with non invasive roots to be planted against the house?
It’s that a cranberry hibiscus next to the new hydrangea? I have to have one... whatever it is,
What kind of hibiscus is that? The red leaves are beautiful.
Mahogany splender
Jim, I am confused. The Salvia and Agapanthus are full sun plants . But Hydrangeas need shade.
That osmanthus will block a lot of the sun on that hydrangea. It has more to do with roots staying cool than the top of the plant. The thing that makes hydrangeas, azaleas, pieris, and others shade plants is the roots are super shallow on them.
HortTube with Jim Putnam are you saying here that if the roots are covered well enough that the hydrangea might be ok! Just want to understand. Thanks
Hmm I’ve been afraid to do more plantings bc I’ve heard it’s to hot right now (I’m in 7b) Thanks for the advice!
Question for you I transplanted a few green giants in April and one of them I just noticed has a second tree growing out of the base. Should I prune out the smaller one so as not to compete with the larger one? The larger is about 8-9 ft. Learned a ton from your channel and also enjoy your garden bc we are in similar zones
I would probably cut the second one out. Just cut it. Don't start digging it out
Thanks ! So cut as close to the ground as I can?
Yes
Got it thanks !
I just bought a new house in zone 7b and will be doing lots of fall planting including some evergreen screening shrubs, some semi-evergreen perennials and some tender perennials and spring bulbs. The soil test says nitrogen and phosphorous are very deficient as well as a low PH so it seems fertilizing when planting would be critical, but when fall planting on past properties I haven’t normally fertilized those things that will still have leaves when the weather changes because I don’t want to push new tender growth that would get burned. What would you advise?
Just wait until March to fertilize them, but do your planting like you plan
Why do you elevate the crown of the hydrangea like that? I just planted a hydrangea and did not do that. Should I dig it up and leave the crown as you have? Zone 7b Charlotte clay soil. Thanks
You really should leave them up a little in your clay soils. The mulch will take up the rest of the space. I do it to make sure the crown of the plant never stays wet. Plus the plant will sink a little from the loose soil under it. I leave it up to you as to whether to raise it up now
Does this variety grow on new or old wood?
Both
My blue hydrangea turned pink what can I do to make it blue again ? 😢
they like the soil to be a bit acid ph about 4.7 , like azalea and rhodondenderon. you can use garden peat, i am dutch so i hope that translated well, and mix it in the soil where you planted it.
👋😄
what is the red shrub to your left? looks like fatsia.
Hibiscus
@@JimPutnam thanks. never seen one like that.
what's the specific name of your hibiscus? The leaves are gorgeous!
Mahogany splender
