We finally found a fix for Japanese beetles. We treated our yard with beneficial nematodes to get rid of moles and I have only seen 3 beetles this year total.
I love your “grace in gardening”. It inspires me to add some plants that will stand alone even though I don’t have a huge space. And it helps me to know other gardeners have those plans that don’t work out as expected too.
Jenny, as always, just love how you are always just keeping it real! Love this video. It's nice to see the plants as more mature specimens. It really helps us in our gardens! As always, thank you for sharing your wealth of information ❤
I LOVE Quickfire! Mine is now 8 feet tall and will be covered in honeybees, bumblebees, wasps, yellow jackets, hummingbirds, and butterflies all at thwart same time. It’s fascinating to watch them all working right next to each other at the same time! I highly recommend Quickfire! Zone 8b in the PNW. 💓
Good Morning Jenny, your gardens are looking beautiful. Bless poor Brynna, I’m like her seeking the shade. I have to say it’s been the HOTTEST summer here in the lower midlands of South Carolina in a few years. Between the evasion of the Cicadas and the Japanese Beetles it’s been a tough year for my plants! So I get to enjoy yours, thanks Creekside…❤️😎
“From afar, it’s gorgeous” …I felt that! This summer has been a tough one here in the NC foothills. No measurable rain and record heat, I’m doing the best I can 😂😅🥵 As always, thank you for not only showing us your beautiful gardens but teaching us as well!
As an Arizonan, I love this video. All the plants you outlined (except hydrangeas) are thriving in my garden right now and it’s been over a 110 for a few weeks. The big star are the summerific hibiscus. My neighbors stop and take pictures of them 😊🩷🌺
Love the cap!! Beryl just broke my candy crush hibiscus in half. Cutting those stems down to the ground and thinking she'll rebound but it's sad to lose those blooms.
Good morning from Waxahachie (south of Dallas TX)!! ❤ This video makes me impatient :) I planted 8 little quick fires in the fall last year and they look super green, they just aren't growing. I'm using all the tones so fingers crossed next year is the year!!!
For Japanese beetles the last two years we've used milky spore in the lawn and kaolin clay mixed with water and sprayed on the plants themselves and we have hardly any Japanese beetle damage, down from decimation a few years ago.
As Proven Winners is finally online in 🇨🇦, I placed my first online order to get a puffer fish hydrangea since I searched around me and multiple nurseries and no one seemed to carry it. It comes in a quart size, understandably, and I look forward to enjoying the beautiful flowers one day. 🥰🌸zone 5.
Love all the pretty plants in your gardens. When I am working in my garden, I am the poster child for hot mess. I quit for the day by noon, and all my clothes are soaked. I am hot, and I am a complete mess. Just a note. Caladiums are not deer resistant. I found that fact out the hard way when they chewed up my newly planted caladiums. It seems if I like a plant, some critter wants to eat it. Ah gardening!
This was a great video! I liked the format by category and I see you working your tail off, hustling around the garden to stay on topic. Love your honest opinions. Appreciate you :)
You give me hope and inspiration, Jenny. I learn so much from you. Even though I'm still sad this year. I've recently lost three limelight hydrangeas and one oak leaf hydrangea. And another old mophead from my friend in my home state that we moved twice from another home. it looks very sad this year and is being crowded out by a huge holly bush on one side and a huge drift of day lilies on the other side. I'm so disappointed in my ability to keep hydrangeas alive in the clay here our zone 8a-b DFW, TX mostly hot and humid sun with some afternoon shade yard. I have one huge pot of hydrangeas that comes back every year and looks beautiful. I'm about to pull everything out and do the no dig to get my soil completely healed. We are retired so hard too keep replacing plants. But I love hydrangeas like everyone else and really want more in my yard. We still don't have drip irrigation either. The only thing I'm growing really well this year is salvia and weeds. Lord, help me! I will say the superunia jazzberry is helping my front beds. And the Hoopla supertunias and the sweet soft yellow supertunias are doing great in my pots.
Love everything about your gardens!! We have found success with the Spectracide Bag a Bug. They flock to it like moths to light and you end up with a bag of dead beetles.
I haven’t had much luck with panicle hydrangeas. I lost one Bobo of three and then the little quick fire I planted a year ago. My larger clearance find (don’t know the variety) is finally blooming and showing off a bit and the Bobo next to it is doing well. The other Bobo has a bit more shade and I am hoping for some blooms or u may need to move it. I finally added starry starry night and berry awesome to my garden. I adore them! They’re half sized bc they’re young, but I know they’ll fill in the space beautifully soon enough. I’m scheming to add at least a couple more and the watermelon ruffle is a front runner.
Love this video! I just discovered panicle hydrangeas last year. Like you, we pretty much have sun all around our house and very little shade. Last year I started with a Little Lime and two Little Lime Punches. This year added more Little Limes and a Limelight Prime. I have a spot on the side of the house where I want to add one to be the focal point of the bed and I am going back and forth between a Little Lime Punch or a Little Quickfire. I really want a Little Quickfire somewhere in my yard! I also have added Pugster Butterfly Bushes and am planning to add more next year. I'm at the point where I want plants that make me happy when I see them, that are fairly low maintenance and can take the heat! I wish Caladiums were perennials in my zone! I love them so!
Thank You Jenny!!! Now I want some caladiums. I have had them in the past, but deer love to gobble them up. My favorites are called White Christmas, and I can't find them anymore. Our summers are hot/humid here in 8a, W. TN.
I have a request...The next time you and Jerry do a 'review' from the porch, would you mind speaking more specifically about your drip system? Such as, how much water is released per hour on your plants and how long you run the drip, how often you run the drip? I am in a 6A area of Northeastern Illinois and have clay soil that seems to turn into a rock when the weather dries out. Not sure if am running my drip long enough or often enough. Also, your skin is loving the humidity! Your skin is looking stunning and flawless! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for showing us the heat loving plants. It is helping me with plant selection for our backyard, which is full sun all day. Thanks again!!
Jenny! Love, love, love your channel. Always giving you a big Amen on the heat and humidity ! Ugg. Question - what is the difference between a Rose of Sharon and a Hibiscus ? My neighbor has 2 and refers to them as Rose of Sharon. They are much taller than they are wide. Maybe 8 x 4 (depending on how and where you measure). They’re gorgeous and love some of my own but we don’t know the variety.
@@GardeningwithCreekside as someone else has stated we don't see that not on camera, the sweat doesn't show. Nope. Just pretty. When I'm outside gardening my face is beat red and the sweat burns my eyes , I'm wiping my forehead and my eyes constantly with the sleeves and my t-shirt:))
Wow, this was an amazing vedio, I learned so much. I also sent the vedio to my son who just bought a house & was asking for suggestions. I thought this would be extremely helpful for him. Maybe consider doing one for early spring, late spring & fall. Really like how the plants are pin pointed for the current conditions. Thank you so much for this.
Good morning. Having watched your videos for a while now I'm familiar with the names and some of the characteristics of hydrangeas but I was not aware of the vast assortment of flowering forms. This video gave me a new view of them and will be very helpful when or if I go to purchase more. I'm thinking caladiums will figure more prominently in my planters next year after seeing your porch planter.
Such a great video! You are wonderful to get out there in this awful heat and humidity to make this video for us (Brynna too)! It's all looking really beautiful! Do you mind to share where you got your butterflies on the back of your garden shed? They are perfect there! Thanks
Thank you again, Jenny!! I'll have to watch it again. I found 1 nursery that sells some proven winners, some of the Tones, but not the plants that I see on your videos. Hopefully, I'll be able to buy a few more plants from you soon. The rain passed Raeford by. Praying for rain🙏. Do you have a video on care for the rose of Sharon. I think I'll have to put it in the ground. It looks so sad. Take care!!
Everything looks gorgeous! Great info for us who are also in this NC humidity 🥵. My caladium isn't very happy in my Aqua pot though. A sun variety that gets sun till 1 pm-ish. Too wet?
I haven't had the Japanese Beetle this year (8a), but my hibiscus was decimated by the hibiscus sawfly. I'm hoping the use the Drench next year for the life of my lovely plant.
Hi Jenny, are any if the hydrangeas you showed deer resistant? I would love to add those to my front landscape, but the current ones I have get the flowers eaten by the deer immediately after blooming. 😮 🦌
My house is entirely surrounded by hollies. It's a historic house that I rent, and there is no telling the age of these plants, multiple decades at least; the root systems are *insane*. On the north side, I have Nelly Stevens on the corners and dwarf Bufords lining the porch. The landscape company doesn't really do pruning maintenance on the hollies, so I've started doing some myself, as it affects my access (my facilities manager has told me he doesn't mind whatever trimming I do). Earlier this year, I raked out under all the hollies for the first time in at least a decade, applied Holly-tone, and a series of pest abatement measures (they're totally infested with spider mites, spiders, and other crawlies that love to jump over to my potted shrubs). For the Nelly Stevens that's by my side yard access, I'm planning to *slightly* limb up because the lowest branches are droopy, unattractive, and get in the way of clearing out that entire section (including the gutter drainspout).
Love your channel! Have a question for you……I just planted this spring a Pinky Winky hydrangea which is getting brown blotches in the centre of the leaves! I am in zone 3 Edmonton, Canada. What am I doing wrong? First time hydrangea owner! Thanks!
Hi Jenny I have some two year old Little Limes that have flopped after a couple of hard rainstorms. Should I cut them back or is it best to leave them? They are laying on some annuals. I tried staking but after another rain they fell again.
Do you have any rabbit or deer pressure with your supertunias? Deer have gotten my hydrangeas and fall blooming sedum. Can I use the tree and again drench on these too? You have such a colorful garden. Thank you for all you do.
I planted silver dollar hydrangeas this summer they didn’t do that well, they are in full sun and the blooms now looks burnt, I planted 3 on one all the leaves have fallen off but all three are living, two have green leaves, I’ve given up on them for this season, what should I do?
Do you have any Bobos? mine seems to be getting sunburned this year. Not sure if lack of rain has anything to do with it. I’m in GA and it’s be so dry until recently. Even now it’s been few and far between. It’s on drip but I’m thinking I need another drip line on it. Between no rain and all of the rabbits it’s been a discouraging year. All of my black eyed Susan’s were completely eaten along with cosmos and dahlias.
I bought Saffron finch this year and Loved it, till it ALL DIED. As we all know saffron finch and bees knees are one and the same plant. I have $50 worth of saffron that croaked. I had 2 in each of my large planters and 2 in a hanging basket. $8 each!!! Thriving one day, droopy the next , completely DEAD by day three. Fed every Sunday night with PW water soluble and watered daily, high heat 2x a day. I took the pot apart and there no insects, nothing. I’m over proven winner plants, moving on to other growers as pw has become too expensive to throw my hard earned money away. And I’m not the only one losing plants, and not just finch, MANY types of their petunias are just up and dying in EXPERIENCED gardeners gardens. It’s so bad I think we need a class action against PW. We pay premium prices, we expect more than 2 months before they die.
Have no idea why, but deer seem to find Little Lime and standard lime hydrangea irresistible. They ate what they could reach on a standard size and ate newly flushed out Little Limes down to the branches. Removed them, six years old and beautiful, because I could not keep up with the spraying. Kept the standard form and encircled the entire bottom with deer netting which I should have done to begin with. Replaced them with butterfly bushes which they don’t touch. Rabbits and deer, oh my!
Hi Jenny, any other suggestion apart from Ferti-Lome Tree and shrub drench for Japanese beetles and other munchers? The active ingredient Imidacloprid, is no longer allowed for such use in Canada.
You would need to research a direct contact insecticide that you can purchase in Canada. The beetles have no natural predators so we are the only control. Jerry
You really can use it anytime, but the directions say that fall is best (I'm thinking it is so the plant will have the defenses it needs when bugs attact in early spring).
Will the Fertilome fend off other pests ? I have japanese beetles but was wondering if it would take care of some other pests that have also been munching my plant leaves.
Good morning, Jenny ☕️Your garden beds look stunningL😍 I love all the Hydrangeas and Hybiscus. The Sawflies, not so much! 😩😤😡 I did order one bottle of the Tree Drench from your store but one is not enough for a 7 plant hedge. I tried to order more but, you’re out of stock and, Amazon would not ship it to me. Hopefully, you’ll have more in stock soon! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶
There was a bit of a supply issue from our supplier, but we are trying to get more! If you hit the "Notify Me" button on the website, we will send you an email as soon as it is restocked.
What is the best time to move hibiscus? Spring when the break dormancy or late summer/fall. I have a couple that need moving to an area where they have more room
You don’t just show us your beautiful gardens you teach us about them, thank you for that ❤
You are the Garden Queen, all your help is much appreciated. Also, so glad you repeat all plant names, so helpful 😊!!!!!
We finally found a fix for Japanese beetles. We treated our yard with beneficial nematodes to get rid of moles and I have only seen 3 beetles this year total.
Oh my goodness!! Good morning from deep in the ❤ of Texas. So much inspiration in this video!!
I love your “grace in gardening”. It inspires me to add some plants that will stand alone even though I don’t have a huge space. And it helps me to know other gardeners have those plans that don’t work out as expected too.
Me too! Some Grace in Gardening merch (t shirts, hats, stickers, anything!) from Creekside would do very well
As a Houston native, which means I live in a swamp for much the year, I greatly appreciate this video.
Love your Texas hat! Watching from Katy, Tx, zone 9b. I love your beautiful gardens and I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you!

Good morning, Jenny! Your whole garden is absolutely radiant right now! Loving the Summerific Hibiscus! 🌺 🍃🌺🍃🌺🍃
Hydrangeas are my favourites. Yours are gorgeous.
Those hibiscus remind me of Jamaica I was there when I was 17 I’m 69 now still loving them I have the red dark leaves and huge dinner plate FLOWERS
Reppin' the Texas!!! Love it!

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge of the hydrangeas you have growing on your property! All f them are beautiful!
Hi Jenny 🌺 . Every things look amazing at your garden in July, the plants are so pretty . Gorgeous garden . Have a wonderful day 🌺🌻🌺.
THANK YOU for pointing out pros and cons of various plants! I’ve wanted to get some panicle hydrangeas that don’t drop over on the rain. 🙌🏼
So glad it was helpful!
Love the cap!!
Beryl just broke my candy crush hibiscus in half. Cutting those stems down to the ground and thinking she'll rebound but it's sad to lose those blooms.
Love that your vlogs came out earlier. Getting me excited to see your beautiful nursery/ garden.❤
Yay! Thank you!
Gorgeous your front porch baskets love it
Glistening for our benefit! Thank you for the great info!
Thanks Jenny. 🌺💚🙃

Good morning from Waxahachie (south of Dallas TX)!! ❤ This video makes me impatient :) I planted 8 little quick fires in the fall last year and they look super green, they just aren't growing. I'm using all the tones so fingers crossed next year is the year!!!
Awesome video! Here in hot, humid Florida - thank you for the encouragement. Much needed this month humid, rainy month!
You are so welcome!
Sending greetings from hot, humid SW, FL. Thank heavens for Hibiscus! ❤😂❤
For Japanese beetles the last two years we've used milky spore in the lawn and kaolin clay mixed with water and sprayed on the plants themselves and we have hardly any Japanese beetle damage, down from decimation a few years ago.
Wonderful video! Definitely helpful for my VERY humid and hot garden. 🪴

Watching from San Antonio Texas! Zone 9a
Thank you❣️
Love all the pretty plants in your gardens. When I am working in my garden, I am the poster child for hot mess. I quit for the day by noon, and all my clothes are soaked. I am hot, and I am a complete mess.
Just a note. Caladiums are not deer resistant. I found that fact out the hard way when they chewed up my newly planted caladiums. It seems if I like a plant, some critter wants to eat it. Ah gardening!
Lovely tour!
Gorgeous 🥰
This was a great video! I liked the format by category and I see you working your tail off, hustling around the garden to stay on topic. Love your honest opinions. Appreciate you :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
My new winecraft gold smokebush has impressed me tremendously with the growth it's putting on right now, even though she was tiny.
Lots of knowledge! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative. You look so pretty as always!!! Don't worry about the glustening.😍
Jenny - I 💗your videos. I'm learning about a completely new plant palette for here in the hot/humid Southern garden. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!

Everything looks gorgeous! Great info for us who are also in this NC humidity 🥵. My caladium isn't very happy in my Aqua pot though. A sun variety that gets sun till 1 pm-ish. Too wet?
Hello from Ohio! It's a rainy day here!!
Enjoy that glorious rain!!!
I haven't had the Japanese Beetle this year (8a), but my hibiscus was decimated by the hibiscus sawfly. I'm hoping the use the Drench next year for the life of my lovely plant.
Hi Jenny, are any if the hydrangeas you showed deer resistant? I would love to add those to my front landscape, but the current ones I have get the flowers eaten by the deer immediately after blooming. 😮 🦌
The most deer resistant hydrangeas tend to be oakleaves, but unfortunately deer have quite the appetite for hydrangeas in general 😔

Hi from Maryland 😊
Good morning!
Love your channel! Have a question for you……I just planted this spring a Pinky Winky hydrangea which is getting brown blotches in the centre of the leaves! I am in zone 3 Edmonton, Canada. What am I doing wrong? First time hydrangea owner! Thanks!
Hi Jenny I have some two year old Little Limes that have flopped after a couple of hard rainstorms. Should I cut them back or is it best to leave them? They are laying on some annuals. I tried staking but after another rain they fell again.

When do you use the drench to prevent Japanese beetles ? My rose of Sharon is skeletonized 😢but the buds may not be affected hopefully🤞
You really can use it anytime, but the directions say that fall is best (I'm thinking it is so the plant will have the defenses it needs when bugs attact in early spring).
Will the Fertilome fend off other pests ? I have japanese beetles but was wondering if it would take care of some other pests that have also been munching my plant leaves.
It’ll take care of anything that chews on the leaves
I live in Louisiana and want to plant hydrangeas but have more sunny space in my garden
Good morning, Jenny ☕️Your garden beds look stunningL😍 I love all the Hydrangeas and Hybiscus. The Sawflies, not so much! 😩😤😡 I did order one bottle of the Tree Drench from your store but one is not enough for a 7 plant hedge. I tried to order more but, you’re out of stock and, Amazon would not ship it to me. Hopefully, you’ll have more in stock soon! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶
There was a bit of a supply issue from our supplier, but we are trying to get more! If you hit the "Notify Me" button on the website, we will send you an email as soon as it is restocked.
Does the Fertilome Tree and Shrub Drench harm pollinators?
Do the hibiscus over winter in the ground in your zone?
What is the highest and lowest temperature you get?
I see that Texas flag on your hat. ❤
What is the best time to move hibiscus? Spring when the break dormancy or late summer/fall. I have a couple that need moving to an area where they have more room
Late fall
Hi 👋 Jenny
I live in Houston and for some reason my butterfly bush isn’t doing well. Do you think it’s because we’ve had a really wet summer here?
Probably so. Butterfly bushes prefer well draining soil/dryer soil.
@@GardeningwithCreekside thank you!
💙🇺🇸💙
Gorgeous don’t want winter to come wish we could have Indian summer all the way till the spring
The Japanese beetles loves my hibiscus too. Japanese beetles are the worst
Sadly tree and shrub drench is highly toxic for pollinators and it can get into your water. ( we have well water)
