Discovered Jersey Cottage 6 or 7 years a great place for unusual plants and prices too & handy when I seeing the in-laws in Spalding , it gave me purpose going there lol 😆
Hi. Yeah it’s a great nursery and I tend to end up buying plants I didn’t know I even wanted. Well worth a visit and if it it makes it easier to visit the in-laws even better. Cheers.
Some great plants there. I've had a Schizophragma Hydrangeoides in the ground for 3 years in a north facing fairly damp corner and it's been the biggest slug and snail magnet I've ever seen. Has barely grown at all as it's stripped bare every year. Think I need to move it. Hope yours grows better.
Hi. That’s interesting to know. I have problems with slugs and snails but as of yet they haven’t touched this plant. It’s such a nice plant I will be a shame if it gets eaten. I will see how it goes. Cheers.
Super cool stuff. I’m glad I’m not only guy who struggles with pronouncing names! You have brought a subject I’m also looking into and that’s adding climbers and vines. Like to add them but unsure of getting plants that can’t handle frost . If it only dies back k could live with that. Going to study your selection a little and see if I can try and find some that would survive 8b in panhandle of Northwest florida
I'm exercising patience as I recently have found Colocasia Thailand Gigantea - Elephant's Ears & Colocasia Borneo - will reach around 10"! I assume that they are now too big to ship !!! Next Year..... Also bought two King Kong Canna Lily plants last year and they were close to four feet tall - and they get to around seven feet tall (perhaps this year). I have a Taiwania Schefleura (sp) that has been in the ground for about seven years now. In the corner and is protected by the fences and a very tall & thick wall of bamboo. It is amazing to see it bow down to the snow and then pop up again. Mine had a baby two springs ago and I should have left it in the ground until it got a bit bigger. It is a bit feeble in a pot out there but I will know to leave it be if another one pops up. Zone 7b Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Hi and thank you. Those elephant ears are nice but need good summer heat to get big. In the U.K. Thai Giant doesn’t get big at all compared to some of the plants in the states. Cheers.
@@tikitropicals65 mine is about 3yrs old it’s up against a 6ft wall and spread its growth now about about 14ft wide. It’s reached a small seating area, and started climbing over that with the honeysuckle 😁 the lower part of the plant is full shade but the top growth is in sun good 8 hrs.
@@tikitropicals65 Parthenocissus henryana is not quite as vigorous as the other Virginia creepers but it's still more than capable of climbing through a good sized tree as well as any available surface. I have to cut back new growth on a regular basis - but it's worth it for the foliage.
These plants are Lovley. I had a look online and those climbing plants are amazing definitely going to look for one of those and the ground cover. Amazing selection of plants you have brought. thank you so much im learning a lot from you. 🙂
@@tikitropicals65 it's going to be amazing. it's good to have a different mix of plants brings a whole new aesthetics to the tropical/jungle look. Happy planting. 🙂
I'm on the look out for some climbers, probably for next year. I have a pergola that I want to paint black once this weather clears .Then I'll decide on climbers for next year after I have made a few planters around the uprights.
Wonderful new plants
Thank you.
Незнаю кто вы но вликолепний сад и растении дякую....

Ohhh! I marvel at your new plant collection. Great choices. I can't wait to see the new plants in your garden.
Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you. I think all the climbers I mentioned should be good in your climate.

Lovely selection of plants, I really like the look of them and looking forward to seeing them thrive in your garden
Thank you. I’ve just got to find the best places to plant them.
@@tikitropicals65 that's the trouble 😂
Great haul bro. I’ve got the Virginia Creeper absolute lovely foliage and in autumn it just sings in colour before dropping leaf
Cheers Paul. How bigs yours got and how long have you had it.
I’m trying to work out the best place for it.

Cheers.

Hi. I haven’t really used climbers much in my garden in the past but it’s something that I now really feel could add an extra dimension.
I love Jersey Cottage too. Your garden is a work of art. Where did you get the urn type water feature?
Hi. I got the water feature from a garden centre local to me. I don’t think they stock it now as I’ve not seen it since.
Love your videos - how can follow Simon and Harriet’s - can’t find them on you tube…
Hi. Simon an and Harriet’s garden is on my channel. I have put a link in the description to this video.
Could you please give the name of the big leader at 12.08 please. Couldn’t make out the name. Thank you.
Hi sorry for the delayed response.
It’s Rodgersia Crug Colossus.
