I too live in Houston Texas. I am a crazy plant lover. I am new to this continent. Could anyone suggest any Houston /,Texas based organization or groups where I can join to explore plant life ?
Hi Ana's Parise, I'm from Odessa, Tx. On Facebook there is a Garden Answer groupies page. They are constantly posting photos of their gardens/plants. They also ask questions & try to answer those questions. As far as groups in your area, I would Google. Welcome to Texas.
In Houston after you thaw out go to a large plant nursery and ask the manager about the different organizations not to far from where you are in Houston to learn about your zone which I believe is zone 9.
Love blue flowers. I have planted blue poppies from seed and they grew the first year but the seeds and plants did not the second year. I even bought a small plant at the nursery and it did not do well. My other poppies do great. I think it is a delicate plant like the california poppy. Both seem to be hit or miss. Thanks for your info. I now have another list for shopping. I hope the garden centers are able to open up this year. Hope you have a nice day with your loving family.
I put in my Blue Chiffon Rose of Sharon in early spring last year and was so impressed with the color and length of bloom. It's been packed in snow all winter and it's just beginning to melt. Finally! I'm so looking forward to see what it'll do for me this season.
Have a memory garden with blue flowers on one end and red on the other for my mom and dad. Have had trouble finding blue so thank you . Took lots of notes and will take them with to plant store.
I grow blue poppy in Sweden. Germination is fairly straigthforward from my experience. Make sure to use peat in your sowing mix and sprinkle the seeds on top without pressing them into the soil, but instead make sure they have good contact with the soil by giving them a spray with a spray bottle. Keep them at about 17-18 degrees Celsius untill they germinate. Once germination has started, keep them at the same temperature during the day but much lower at night (preferable under 10C like a refrigerator). When planting them in your garden, they want a spot that is always a little moist but never soaking wet and be aware they dry out quickly. Part shade is preferred as they do not really like the hot mid day sun. Love your channel btw. Keep up the good work and good luck with the new garden!
Texas Bluebonnets are beautiful! They bloom early spring. They spread like crazy, so it’s best to have plenty of room for them. They grow to 6”-12” tall. I love driving the highways in Texas in the early spring and seeing the beautiful flowers along the roadside and in fields for as far as you can see.
This year I bought more Proven Winners plants than any other grower. This because of Laura results and what I’ve experienced because she taught me how to grow annuals !! Love everything. Go Laura.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been desperately seeking out a blue variety for my daughter, who has autism. All she wants are blue flowers outside her bedroom window. Heading down to the garden center to see if they will order me something that will work!
This video is perfect timing! I was just thinking of starting a blue garden this spring 💙 Ahhh... I can’t wait!! Thank you Laura... I love watching all your videos.
Thank you Laura, I love splashes if blue in my mostly purple and yellow flowering garden. Especially lobelia, which survives as a short lived perennial in our mild winters here in Melbourne’s west if given a little extra care and shade in the hotter months. Thus, I always grow them in pots. I also love Ceanothus blue pacific. Short flowering season but stunning and thrives in our alkaline soil. Also, Felicia amelloides, looks delicate but is quite tough and long flowering. Look forward to all your videos!
Laura that was a wonderfully informative video, as usual. Thank you. I've grown borage both in my veggie and ornamental gardens for years as they are quite a bee magnet. What I've noticed is that the blue flowers actually "fade" to pink so get a really interesting display.
Lovely blue flower video 💙 would love to see a red, white and blue planter or bed for the summer/memorial day/4th of July/Labor Day. Thanks for sharing. God bless!
Thank you for telling us about all the flowers Specially on the Rainbow Roses I understand now thanks for this. I love all the Blue flowers thank you for sharing us all about this the flowers 😃😊
Hi Laura, from frozen San Antonio Texas bluebonnets are a wild flower and do not need hardly any watering during blooming even before that. Their seeds naturally spread when the pods dry out and they pop and spread on top of the soil. Germination takes place Throughout the summer and fall. In late Winter and early Spring they grow to Bloom in Spring. They do not spread like wildfire so they are very manageable. They look gorgeous with Indian paintbrush here in Texas. I hope this helps.
Hi, would Bluebonnets be a good back plant choice? I'm here in Texas and I need something that grows on a back row, requires little attention and can withstand heat & sunlight. Tfs❤️
@@diversegardener392 Thanks Arthur. I'm putting some in today. I really appreciate your response. The information you shared was indeed helpful. Have a great week! 🙂
Flax is pretty simple to grow. The blue was very pretty, and in my opinion couldn't be mistaken for purple. I was told it is a perennial, however, unless it was reseeded every yr., it didn't come back.
Great list! I would add: Virginia Bluebells (spring bulb), Allium azureum (summer bulb), 'Rozanne' cranesbill geranium, chaste tree (actually a vitex shrub), and 'Blue Muffin' arrowhead viburnum (for its ornamental blue berries in the fall. I can highly recommend Delphinium 'Blue Butterfly' for its blue colour, even though it's not a reliable perennial for me in Zone 6. Worth growing anyway, the flowers look like vivid blue wizard hats!
I really loved your video today!! What a great tutorial! You have so much knowledge and I’m so thankful that you are sharing it with us! I love flowers so much ( maybe as much as you) and wish I had all the support you have to grow such amazing gardens! You are one blessed girl!! Thank you for sharing so much with all of us!
I live in N. Georgia now and am just discovering the gazillions of wild flowers and bulbs I've never seen or watched grow and show off lol the iris here are stellar !
Thank you Laura and Aaron for sharing your gardening knowledge. Also, thank you for opening your home and family to us. You have helped me get through this Covid winter in the snow. Every morning I look forward to watching your videos while drinking my coffee. ☕️
Laura, I don’t know if you can grow these but Lithadora is a perennial and is a gorgeous bright blue ground cover. I get so excited when I see them start to bloom because they are the first and then I know spring is around the corner. Sorry, I wrote this b4 you covered this in your vid.
Evolveulos Glomeratus " Blu Daze " heavy bloomer in E Cen Florida the blooms freak when it gets real hot in the middle of the day, and as it cools they open back out , " great color ! Like your video and your passion for your work . Am a semi retired nursery and landscape contractor now in Ga.
I love how they produce their flowers on the stalks. How do you think they would do in Houston hot weather? You said you have trouble growing them in the humidity, in what way? No blooms, stay small, ??
Delphiniums are my favorite, too, (tied for 1st place with hydrangea), but I also have trouble with delphiniums here in hot, humid VA (zone7). I think last season was my 6th attempt using 3 plants, which actually survived the summer. Now in Spring, I see that 2 of them are coming back, which is a first for me, and one is not. I don't think they like humidity. I have tried them in different spots around my gardens with zero success in them coming back in Spring--until this year. I put them in a part sun location and that seemed to help. Fingers crossed that they don't perish this summer. On the other hand, I have the most gorgeous, huge, blue hydrangeas that are no problem at all. I don't do anything but water them and they're fabulous!
I live in coastal Alaska. The Himalayan Blue poppy does well here. It needs a cool climate and the blue color is gorgeous! Just wish they had a longer bloom time. I’m planning to winter sow some of the seeds.
Bluebonnets are prolific here in Texas. Large drifts fill the medians of many roadways where people enjoy having pictures taken. I have them in my garden. LOVE them. They show off every spring and I have even seen them bloom again in fall. Wildseed Farm in Fredericksburg, TX carries the seed by the pound in good years. They self seed and spread nicely throughout the garden. They seem to like tucking themselves against stones and other hard structures.
Hi Laura This is my second time watching this video. I’m trying to create a spot in my garden for Blue perennials that can take lots of sun. I’ll be putting them in beautiful concrete earns. Thank you for awesome knowledge. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾.
Love blue flowers have grown many of these live up north going to be retiring south so will need to start over!! I do recommend sqills and forget me not types as well as blue and red iris! Periwinkle ground cover spreds across my whole yard
Love these videos. I've been gardening about 4 decades now...or maybe a bit more...in all kinds of soil and climate [but nothing above zone 6]. I live in south eastern Ontario, Canada. I have also worked in a couple of garden centres/nurseries over the years, and I am considered a garden nerd. But I've learned one can always learn more, and I really like the informativeness [is that a word?] of these videos and they are just a pleasure to watch [especially when I can't garden, like today...too wet and rainy.
Laura, you're timing on this video is spot on. I've been researching images galore as I'm trying for a very particular color scheme in this year's garden and really don't want any funny surprises do to goofy labels/color names. I'll never understand why flower colors aren't more accurately reflected among so many different vendors and varieties. It's a very peculiar thing!
I have a blue balloon flower. It's in a flower pot and has done well on the east side of my yard for two years. I love the look of it and hope it comes back this year too! I live in San Diego.
Thank you! I love blue flowers, and would love to be able to grow delphiniums . I live in the greater Vancouver area (BC), so just north of you? I rescued a hydrangea that was given in small pot to a friend when she was sick. She was going to throw it out, because it was so sad and dried up. I always believe in another chance, so took it home and planted it. It is now so big and healthy! It will bloom this year for the first time. I do have to watch because in a townhouse the gardeners tend to kill things. I've lost my 3rd Hosta this year...
Thank you, I hope to get some of these planted this year since my landscape is pretty open since we have just gotten a new house and have had to move somethings around.
Larkspur is a beautiful delicate blue in our Nashville TN area. Blooms for a long time and spreads beautifully and I love a drift of them. Easy to transplant and give to friends also.
The blue himalayan poppies prefer colder climates and moist air. They perform really well in my garden here in North of Norway. They are really easy to winter sow as they like the cold to geminate. They also prefer slight acidic soil.
Love blue flowers. I live in Texas and enjoy the blue bonnets very much, they also come in other colors but most of what blooms here are the blue-everyone here does the obligatory photo surrounded by solid blue of the flowers 💙
I started a blue garden last year., and found most were purple. I DID order blue Himalayan seeds and have gotten a lot of advise. My fingers are crossed! I’m also going to try agapanthus; they don’t last in my zone so I’ll try them in containers. 💙💙💙
Blue daze is another very blue flower. It is an annual, low growing and spreading. Very pretty cascading in a basket or pot. They grow well in warm climates. I am in zone 7a. My favorite flower color is blue and I think because they are so rare.
I LOVE LOVE Blue Flowers!!! Thank you for this video , don't laugh but I took better notes on this video than I ever did in any high school or college class!!! My fave is the Delphinium and of course the blue hydrangea! I almost got my Hydrangea blue and in the process I believe I killed it :-( I put too much Acidifier on it but it looked great for a couple years. I'll have to try again. Or take a trip to Martha's Vineyard and enjoy theirs and take lots of pictures!!
I seen the blue poppy and immediately paused the video and ordered some seeds, then proceeded to press play and hear you say they are known to be hard even for the experienced gardener 🤣 🤦♀️ I’ll let ya know how it goes lol
My wife and I like blue color. I didn't know there are so many blue beautiful flowers. Where can I get these flowers? I've been watching your videos. I learn a lots. Thank you for making videos for us.
Just watched this video, excellent job explaining the various types of blue plants. I never realized there were so many. I was thinking there are blue reblooming iris that could be added.
The bluebonnets grow by the highways in Texas. Sometimes there are traffic jams as people park and take pictures of whole fields carpeted in bluebonnets. Farmers like them. They are nitrogen fixers. Just don't pick them because they are protected by state law.
I live in Austin Texas where the Bluebonnets grow wild. I tried growing the from seed but found out they need certain enzymes from the natural Texas soil in order to bloom. I have also seen them in pink and yellow. So pretty.
Thank you for this video love true. Blue flowers ....you covered the morning glory they do so well in NJ , I get flowers up to October ...one of my favorite , today I bought my packet , I had given away my seeds since I was moving to Florida, but I’m back in NJ so I’m excited to grow them .
Love your gardens and videos! I love the whites & blue scheme! Really like delphiniums but they didn't last long in my garden. Squirrels and rabbits ate them all (though I heard delphiniums are poisonous). I wonder how you maintain and protect all your plants from the animals :D
I live in zone 4 and what I think is unfair I can't grow Rose of Sharon, Butterfly bushes and some Rose bushes but I make up for with other beautiful bulbs and flowers. I do have some Blue Hydrengeas, i took home from church which we were giving away after Easter. I have had them for about four years.
I am currently growing Himalayan Blue Poppies from seed. They have sprouted -- took about 12 days -- I expected them to take longer. They are the tiniest of sprouts -- maybe an 1/8th of an inch tall on day 19. I'm excited to see if they make it. I have no trouble growing pansy from seed either, both purchased seed and hand gathered seed yet, I seem to have absolutely no luck germinating Delphinium! I had just 2 seeds mature into plants last year from a full packet of seeds, one of which the slugs made a meal of. This year, still no luck. Not sure what the trick is to them but I will persevere! LOL That's the fun of gardening, isn't it? the challenge!
One of my favorite color is blue and I love the all those blue flowers..I hope that all of these kinds of plants can leave here in my place..(Philippines)..
Loved this video. Well, I enjoy all of your videos, but blue is my color. Thank you for the very helpful information on each plant. So wish you could grow blue hydrangeas! I unknowingly messed mine up with improper fertilization causing the flowers to turn various colors. But in the end they just looked sad and I had to cut them off. Anyway, thank you for the helpful advice. Blessings to you and your lovely family 💗.
I've literally had that face and those EXACT words on the Hydrangea 🤣 Everyone else has blue! I have pink🙄 or theirs (all on 1 plant) blue bushel, and pink bushel and a purplish color, and deep purple! LIKE A RAINBOW! 😔 I'm waiting on mine to bloom still too early, but I've been dropping used coffee grounds on it, acid Solifier and used Green Tea leaves.. The foliage right now is so vibrant green so here's hoping for blue this summer!!🥳
You might find information in this article about the color of your hydrangea blooms. Thanks for watching! www.provenwinners.com/Professionals/Hydrangea-Blues
Your plumbago is different from what we call plumbago here in central Florida. And THANK YOU for showing the blue eryngium--I got some in a bouquet and loved them so much, was dying to know what they were so I could plant some!
So much good information and ideas in this one video. I will be looking at this one again and again. I prefer pink in my garden, but how best to off set so many other colors...plant blue! Thank you!
Love the different blues just such a likeable color. Blue iris is one of my favorite .
Freezing here in Texas! When I have power I’m watching Laura. Thank you for being here for us! Love your videos. Longer the better.

Love blue flowers in our garden. Thanks for sharing this video it was very helpful! Greetings from the Netherlands, Rikie
Thanks for sharing the beautiful blue flowers and thanks for the great information.

Have a memory garden with blue flowers on one end and red on the other for my mom and dad. Have had trouble finding blue so thank you . Took lots of notes and will take them with to plant store.
Delphinium "diamonds blue" is a new SUPER blue strain. It's a must have!
I love the way ,you gave details about Plants,I mean blue flowers,my fav is bachelor buttons their so nice in the garden
Love blue flowers mixed with pink and white
I grow blue poppy in Sweden. Germination is fairly straigthforward from my experience. Make sure to use peat in your sowing mix and sprinkle the seeds on top without pressing them into the soil, but instead make sure they have good contact with the soil by giving them a spray with a spray bottle. Keep them at about 17-18 degrees Celsius untill they germinate. Once germination has started, keep them at the same temperature during the day but much lower at night (preferable under 10C like a refrigerator). When planting them in your garden, they want a spot that is always a little moist but never soaking wet and be aware they dry out quickly. Part shade is preferred as they do not really like the hot mid day sun. Love your channel btw. Keep up the good work and good luck with the new garden!

Balloon flowers are my husband's favorite blue flower. With just a little care they can bloom all summer long.
I grow love in a mist ...and all my neighbors do too lol thank's to the bird's. 😄
This year I bought more Proven Winners plants than any other grower. This because of Laura results and what I’ve experienced because she taught me how to grow annuals !! Love everything. Go Laura.
I really love blue flowers because you don't see them a lot in people's yards or gardens.

Larkspur is a beautiful delicate blue in our Nashville TN area. Blooms for a long time and spreads beautifully and I love a drift of them. Easy to transplant and give to friends also.
Gentians are the best blue flowers in my garden. I’ve also planted some Himalayan blue poppies. Sometimes a challenge is part of the fun.

The blue himalayan poppies prefer colder climates and moist air. They perform really well in my garden here in North of Norway. They are really easy to winter sow as they like the cold to geminate. They also prefer slight acidic soil.

My wife and I like blue color. I didn't know there are so many blue beautiful flowers. Where can I get these flowers? I've been watching your videos. I learn a lots. Thank you for making videos for us.
Just watched this video, excellent job explaining the various types of blue plants. I never realized there were so many. I was thinking there are blue reblooming iris that could be added.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great loved it. Appreciated. Thank you so very much for sharing.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
If you get the chance, go to the hill country of Texas in early spring (March) just to see the bluebonnets. It will take your breath away!
Was just there a year ago and you are right it’s awesome and then hike the enchanted rock garden❤️
The bluebonnets grow by the highways in Texas. Sometimes there are traffic jams as people park and take pictures of whole fields carpeted in bluebonnets. Farmers like them. They are nitrogen fixers. Just don't pick them because they are protected by state law.
I live in Austin Texas where the Bluebonnets grow wild. I tried growing the from seed but found out they need certain enzymes from the natural Texas soil in order to bloom. I have also seen them in pink and yellow. So pretty.
LOVE the blue poppies!
All Beautiful blue flowers
Miss Laura my hydrangea bush blooms purplish, blue pink blooms it's weird but very pretty.

Thank you for this video love true. Blue flowers ....you covered the morning glory they do so well in NJ , I get flowers up to October ...one of my favorite , today I bought my packet , I had given away my seeds since I was moving to Florida, but I’m back in NJ so I’m excited to grow them .
Love your gardens and videos! I love the whites & blue scheme! Really like delphiniums but they didn't last long in my garden. Squirrels and rabbits ate them all (though I heard delphiniums are poisonous). I wonder how you maintain and protect all your plants from the animals :D
I live in zone 4 and what I think is unfair I can't grow Rose of Sharon, Butterfly bushes and some Rose bushes but I make up for with other
beautiful bulbs and flowers. I do have some Blue Hydrengeas, i took home from church which we were giving away after Easter. I have had them
for about four years.
I am currently growing Himalayan Blue Poppies from seed. They have sprouted -- took about 12 days -- I expected them to take longer. They are the tiniest of sprouts -- maybe an 1/8th of an inch tall on day 19. I'm excited to see if they make it. I have no trouble growing pansy from seed either, both purchased seed and hand gathered seed yet, I seem to have absolutely no luck germinating Delphinium! I had just 2 seeds mature into plants last year from a full packet of seeds, one of which the slugs made a meal of. This year, still no luck. Not sure what the trick is to them but I will persevere! LOL That's the fun of gardening, isn't it? the challenge!
great video think I will try the midnight I have small space in back yard that i would like to have there
Laura, I so wish you were in Western Australia 😀
One of my favorite color is blue and I love the all those blue flowers..I hope that all of these kinds of plants can leave here in my place..(Philippines)..
The blue bonnets is our state flower. It’s easy for us to grow. Spring tradition is to get your photos in a field with them.
Loved this video. Well, I enjoy all of your videos, but blue is my color. Thank you for the very helpful information on each plant. So wish you could grow blue hydrangeas! I unknowingly messed mine up with improper fertilization causing the flowers to turn various colors. But in the end they just looked sad and I had to cut them off. Anyway, thank you for the helpful advice. Blessings to you and your lovely family 💗.
I appreciate all this great information, especially since I'm a new plant mom !
Blue bonnets are wildflowers in Texas. We had them everywhere.
Loving your ferns in the background!
There’s some balloon flowers that are true blue. They’re absolutely gorgeous.
Makes me long for Spring!
Borage and nigella grow wild in Corfu. In spring they are everywhere.
I'm trying blue nigella. Hoping for a good blue color and love the foliage.
I've literally had that face and those EXACT words on the Hydrangea 🤣 Everyone else has blue! I have pink🙄 or theirs (all on 1 plant) blue bushel, and pink bushel and a purplish color, and deep purple! LIKE A RAINBOW! 😔 I'm waiting on mine to bloom still too early, but I've been dropping used coffee grounds on it, acid Solifier and used Green Tea leaves.. The foliage right now is so vibrant green so here's hoping for blue this summer!!🥳

Laura, please try growing the Blue Poppy so we can learn from your experience before trying ourselves. Thanks! Love your videos, I learn so much.
Thank you so much! Very informative and enjoyable.
Your plumbago is different from what we call plumbago here in central Florida. And THANK YOU for showing the blue eryngium--I got some in a bouquet and loved them so much, was dying to know what they were so I could plant some!
So much good information and ideas in this one video. I will be looking at this one again and again. I prefer pink in my garden, but how best to off set so many other colors...plant blue! Thank you!
