Those Flowers in your garden are blooming beautifully... 😍 😍 😍 I love and love your beautiful collection of Flowers...Tracy! Stay safe and healthy... Greetings from my Country.
Goodmorning watching your video with my tea, I do agree with Allysum mine did not do well too and my hydrangeas is late as well. So amazed with all the hydrangeas you grow from seeds. Thank you Tracy for a beautiful tour of your garden.
Thanks for taking us on this lovely garden tour! Your enthusiasm for your plants is infectious. It's fascinating to see how each variety blooms and evolves over time. I appreciate how you share your observations and experiences with each plant, from their blooming patterns to their unique characteristics. Your knowledge and care for your garden shine through, and it's inspiring to see how much joy and beauty you've cultivated in your space. Looking forward to more updates from your garden adventures!
Kudos to you for a beautifully planned garden , top to bottom , front and back👍🏻🌿 Everything looks like they were naturally growing there. What I admire most is you have something nice in every pocket thoughtfully planned. The love is evident .
I enjoyed seeing all of your lovely gardens. You seem partial to hydragnea's and I can see why, lots of large and colorful blooms that are beautiful. Your pulu clematis has really taken off and has so many blooms everywhere! Your dwarf spruce trees are growing well in pots! My battery is running low, so thanks for sharing!
Just discovered and subscribed to your channel. Gosh, your garden is so BEAUTIFUL❣ I love all of the flowers and plants that you have, especially, the hydrangeas. Thank you so much for sharing your video!
Have you tried propagating the banana cream dasies (I might have the name wrong)? If you aren't sure about ripping them out and you want to try them in other places try propagating them. It makes it way less stressful to have a backup plant when you are thinking about moving them.
That’s a great idea! I was thinking about transplanting one of the patches of the Banana Cream daisies at my brother’s house. This will give me some space to plant the new variety to compare. However, I went to a garden nursery this past week and they were sold out. I will keep looking. Thank you again! 🙏
I planted allisum from seed yrs ago and it thrives in the winter it doesn't like the heat of summer but comes back very well when the weather cools off.
I absolutely love your gardens! Like you, I don’t have much space either, and you give me so much inspiration on what to do with my limited space. Thank you
Thank you! Lol...I definitely do like to "pack" many plants into the limited space I have. The garden is in its 7th year so everything is well grown-in and "cozy". Happy gardening!
Добрый день! У Вас очень прекрасные гортензии и весь Ваш сад очень красивый! Все растения очень гармонично посажены и смотрится великолепно! Привет из России 🤗!!!
Beautiful garden ❤ just beautiful! love it. I enjoyed how well you explained everything in detail. I'm definitely going to try planting some Hydrangeas. Thanks so much for sharing.
Everything looks beautiful as usual, Tracy. I ended up getting 3 Pinky Winkys this year from PW when they had a sale, and then a gal that has a private nursery has the most amazing plants, and I got 2 vanilla strawberry standards from her. They were only $90 a piece and are at least 5 years old already. So thats 5 more to my 20 panilcles I got last summer. Finally got them all planted in the ground and some in pots. They are all thriving except for 2. One of my Quickfire is getting some brown and crispy leaves on it. I hope its not getting too much sun where its at. Between the fence and the brick house it might be attracting too much heat. A few others have leaves that are turning yellow and falling off. Any ideas? 😢 Besides that everything is looking beautiful. I plantrd alot of sedum autumn joys that I've had for years around them. I love Echinacea so I have lots of color around them as well. Your going to have to do another demo video when you decide to turn that quickfire fab into a standard. I want to turn about half of these I got into standards but I'm terrified im going to batch it. 😂 Thank you for sharing.🤗
Outstanding gardens! I love how you underplant your Hydrangeas! I really love mine too. I have a Bobo, a Pinky Winky, Annabelle. Would like a Gatsy Moon, Invinciball or Berry White. You are well spoken, audio is clear and gardens are gorgeous, soothing!
Hi Tracy! Love your garden so much, an inspiration for me. Could you please share how you propagate or devide/seed your perennial plant like salvias/daisies/echinaceas. Thank you
Vine Weevil? Thank you! I think you may be right as I have seen them on my hydrangeas at night. I tried looking for them at night and found a few of them. They tend to like feeding on the Quick Fire Fab, Little Lime, Little Lime Punch and my hydyrangea seedlings. I'm not sure why but they don't eat the foliage on my Bobo and original Quick Fire. I wonder why.
I got them as gifts many years ago (20+ years ago). You can find them or something similar at local garden nurseries. If you are in the GTA, you can check for them at Valleyview, Cannon, Vandermeer, etc. Hope you can find some to plant.
I got a ton of hydrangeas growing from seeds for the past 3 years and I didn’t know what it was so I plugged them out it was possible hundreds of them. Wish I knew. Now that I see your video I’m going to try and grow them from seeds besides propagation. It’s going to be fun 😊
Hello Tracy ! Iam new to your channel. I must say your Gardens are Absolutely Breathtaking. You can tell you work very hard in your Garden. I absolutely Love my Gardens. It has been so very hot this year and it is so hard to take care of my flowers. I was wondering if you share any of your seeds ? If so I will give you my adress. Where are you from? I am in New Jersey. Thank you for letting us visit you for awhile and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend.
Thank you 🙏. I live in Canada and unfortunately US customs will not accept seeds from outside the U.S. Hope you can find them in a local garden nursery near by. 💚
Absolutely Gorgeous! We cannot get the color or the performance you can with pannicle hydrangeas you can acheive downer here in the the midsouth of MS.. I am going to install drip tape to my full sun planted Little Quick Fire hedge this spring to see if that helps. The Endless Summer dow erll in morning sun here. I must need to step up my Compost application like you do! I also want to try the tall lillies. They must look amazing in full bloom. What colors do you have. Thanks for sharing!
The one hydrangea you are calling a Flare, might be a Candelabra hydrangea, both Bloom’n Easy plants. The plant might have been labelled wrong. I purchased 6 Flare and mine are small, approx 3 feet.
Thank you! 🙏 All the hydrangea in pots stay outside. I place them right up against the southwest wall of the house from late fall to late winter. I usually move them to a sunny spot when the snow start to melt.
move your twist and shout into a container rather than giving it away. I had a big leaf hydrangea not blooming for few year but just getting big. I thought I'll take it out. this year it is blooming With big beautiful flowers :)
Tracy, your garden is amazing. I saw you put some of your plants in the containers. Just wondering how do you take care of them in the winter? Do you put them in the garage or do you use the cover for cold protection?
Thank you! All the hydrangea pots stay outside. I move all of them right up against my southwest wall. I do take the geraniums and begonia pots inside and place them under lights or sunny winter all winter and I take them out in late May.
Tracy, my Little Quick Fires have not bloomed at all, I don't even see buds but they have grown beautifully in size. I'm also in zone 5 and planted them last year. Do you have any idea why this could have happened? I was looking forward to the beautiful lace cap blooms.
If they grow and are looking healthy then I think they may have been over fertilized. Hydrangeas are not heavy feeders and a small amount of slow release fertilizer like a rose food or handful of compost or so it’s all they need. Too much fertilizer will cause the plant to grow foliage and not blooms. If you stop the fertilizing, you may still get blooms later. Depending how much fertilizers you gave them, they may flower for you next year. Hope they will bloom later for you. 🤞🤞🤞
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos, Miss Tracy. What USDA planting zone are you in? Nice info for you to tell us the names of all your plants, and also the bloom sequence. Bloom sequence is something I have trouble with here in my southern zone nine Garden. I have a lot of blooms and a productive small veg, garden November to maybe mid June. Not many plants in bloom August, September, and October. 😢 I would like to try to learn plant varieties so that I could have a little bit nicer Garden in the soggy humid dog days of summer
I just use compost on my hydrangeas. If you have to fertilize, you can use a slow release rose fertilizer or a general type like 10-10-10 for perennials, or a specific type for acid loving plants. You can also check with your local garden nursery for more recommendations.
I’m fascinated at how you propagate so many hydrangeas and even turn them into tree forms. Have you ever propagated the serrata hydrangeas-. mountain type? Those are my favourites, especially tiny tuff stuff. What do you for chlorosis and Japanese beetles? I don’t even have roses but they are all over and my tree peonies and some hydrangeas are looking chlorotic. I love your clematis trellises. Where did you get them? They’re perfect!
I'm actually getting some chlorosis on my hydrangeas as well. I tested the soil in the back garden last year and it was just above pH 7. I added a little bit of sulfur and coffee grounds to help bring it down to pH 6.9-7.0. I haven't tested the soil this year yet but I do find that the plants in the back garden is much better. This year the plants in the front look chlorotic too and I think it could be due to some winter salt that was applied to our front steps during the winter. This fall I will apply some sulfur so hopefully the plants there will do better next year. For the Japanese beetles, you can apply the beneficial nematode twice a year to reduce any grubs or larvae in garden soil and grass. Compared to other years, I have less of them this year.
Your panicle hydrangea that you grew from seed, that had it's leaf edges eaten, may have been being eaten by "leaf-cutter bees". Except, they live in "the ground"...so, don't know if that's likely. The edge-eating is a sure sign of leaf-cutter activity.
Thank you for your help. I went out the last couple of nights and found no visible signs of insects actively feeding on the hydrangea foliage. I will continue to look because I'm very curious to know what has been feeding on them.
Tracy, your garden is beautiful, thank you for this tour ! What is your secret with the lobelia ? Mine died in this heat. Kept them watered and even protected them from harsh afternoon sun with shade cloth. I live in Etobicoke, so same zone as you.
I added 1” of compost on top of the plant to help retain water loss. I find that lobelia don’t like to get too dried or too wet. You should also check the soil and only water if the soils is completely dried. I find that I haven’t had to water 💧 as often lately as we have been lucky to get rain every other day. Hope your lobelia do better.
Do you overwinter the Dwarf Alberta spruce that you have in containers? If so, do you water them in the winter? Is there anything else you do to protect them?
They stay outside on the steps all winter long without extra winter protection. During the winter I give each plants about a snowball size of snow (if it’s not covered in snow already.)
The place the pots unprotected and right up against the southwest wall of our house. It’s gets some protection from the cold & dry winter winds. The pots also get a lot of snow coverage for a little bit of cold insulation. 💚
It’s ok to see yellow leaves dropping at the time when hydrangeas are blooming. This is a sign the plant is unable to support the foliage and blooms. In order to keep the blooms, it sacrificed some foliage. This usually happens to young plants or old larger plants. My 5-6 years old Limelight trees are starting to do this as well.
You can get them from the panicles in your garden. They are best to harvest in mid-late fall. Don’t forget to harvest extra as many pods may contain unviable seeds.
Hi, it looks like you plant a lot in the container, do you need to protect t them for the winter? I am gardening in Chicago area which is US 6A, I wonder if I can also plant hydrangeas in planters like you did.
In US zone 6, they should be okay outside all winter long. I recommend starting out with panicle hydrangeas in 4-5 gal pots. If you want extra protection from colder winters, move the pots right up against a south or west facing wall of the house for some extra radiant heat from the home. If you have a front porch like mine, move them in there and they will be just fine. Just make sure to give them some water before the first freeze. Once the soil freezes, you don’t have to water again until the leaf buds start showing. All the best.
I’m looking to get either the endless summer bloomstruck or the original. I love the color of the original but heard the bloomstruck doesn’t flop as much as the original. Which one would you recommend? Thank you in advance.
All hydrangeas have seeds and you can collect them from the flower heads in the fall. Not the seeds are viable so collect more to make sure you get some viable seed pods.
Your garden is beautiful! Do you think an Annabelle hydrangea could work as a tree form? I have a candidate, but I worry that the plant might be too floppy.
I checked the PW site and you are right about the updated size of the FL being up to 8”. Originally, the tag had 4-5 ft wide and 5-6 ft tall (however, I need to pull out my old tag to confirm) when I bought it back in 2010. I planted my 1st FL at my previous home back in 2010….and it is now in its 13th year. A couple years a ago, the new owner said it was still under 5 ft. However, the FL I have in this garden are in full sun and not shaded like the one at my old house (planted under the canopy of a 100+ year old maple tree). PW is pretty good about their plants so if they changed it on their website then it may end up growing to be that size or larger. Thanks for letting me know because the next time I visit the nursery, I will also check to see if they updated their tags here to match what’s on their website. And if FL plants will be 8+ ft then I will have to do some very drastic changes. 😮 Thanks 🙏 for letting me know!
Interesting…, that’s one reason I never purchased that one. I really like the coloring and bloom timing, but don’t have the room for that size. Wondering if it use to only get the size you mentioned, but has been bred to get bigger now or in your zone it won’t reach that large.

@@TracysHomeGarden It looks stunning, and not packed at all ☺️ I’m definitely going to do this to wow my neighbors and visitors 🤍🙏🏼
Tracy, love your garden! Could you please also do some videos on lawn care? You lawn looks fabulous too!
Beautiful garden and talented gardener. I appreciate your posting the plant names.
Thank you for listing your zone.

Hi Tracy! Love your garden so much, an inspiration for me. Could you please share how you propagate or devide/seed your perennial plant like salvias/daisies/echinaceas. Thank you
I think the little hydrenga is being eaten by vine weaviel. Try and catch them at night using a torch. I love your pretty gardens. I love the pruella.
Vine Weevil? Thank you! I think you may be right as I have seen them on my hydrangeas at night. I tried looking for them at night and found a few of them.

Where did you buy Serrano lily trees? Thanks.
I got them as gifts many years ago (20+ years ago). You can find them or something similar at local garden nurseries. If you are in the GTA, you can check for them at Valleyview, Cannon, Vandermeer, etc. Hope you can find some to plant.
Beautiful

Hi Tracy! Beautiful garden! Can I get more information on the pot (size, brand) for the lobelia and the bobo tree? Thank you!
What soil do you use? Healthy plants you have, beatiful! What hydrangea can I plant in full sun?
You can plant any panicle hydrangeas in full sun. Check with a local garden centre for varieties you can get in your area. Happy gardening!
Your garden is really pretty.
Absolutely Gorgeous! We cannot get the color or the performance you can with pannicle hydrangeas you can acheive downer here in the the midsouth of MS.. I am going to install drip tape to my full sun planted Little Quick Fire hedge this spring to see if that helps. The Endless Summer dow erll in morning sun here.

Everything in your garden is just so beautiful! I love them. Just wondering If you keep all the pot hydrangeas in the garbage during winter?
Thank you! 🙏 All the hydrangea in pots stay outside. I place them right up against the southwest wall of the house from late fall to late winter. I usually move them to a sunny spot when the snow start to melt.
@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you so much!
The dichondra is probably the emerald falls variety. Which is green on front and silver on back
Thank you and I think you are right. The tag did say “Silver” so I’m not happy for the mislabeled tag at Lowe’s. 😞
move your twist and shout into a container rather than giving it away. I had a big leaf hydrangea not blooming for few year but just getting big. I thought I'll take it out. this year it is blooming With big beautiful flowers :)
Thats a great idea! I think I will do that this fall. If its in pots, I could move it to winterize on my porch. Thank you for the suggestion!
Nice garden ❤

Hi Tracy, how do you keep the hydrangeas in pots in winter?
Tracy how do you overwinter your hydrangea standards in pots?
The place the pots unprotected and right up against the southwest wall of our house. It’s gets some protection from the cold & dry winter winds. The pots also get a lot of snow coverage for a little bit of cold insulation. 💚
I love your garden, it is beautiful and gorgeous.where do you fined seeds of hydrangeas?
❤❤❤❤
You the the Dichondra Emerald Falls. Green variety. Vicki
Ah…they were mislabeled then. Thank you for letting me know.
It’s unfortunate because I was looking forward to the silver display. 😮
Tracy: one of my hydrangeas, limelight some leafs turn yellow and started falling. Could you please give me some advice?
It’s ok to see yellow leaves dropping at the time when hydrangeas are blooming. This is a sign the plant is unable to support the foliage and blooms. In order to keep the blooms, it sacrificed some foliage. This usually happens to young plants or old larger plants. My 5-6 years old Limelight trees are starting to do this as well.
@@TracysHomeGarden thanks Tracy. Quick fire seems doing better than limelight at this point
What soil do you use to plant your hydrangea cuttings?
I used regular “potting mix” for all potted plants. I also added 1-2” of compost on top to act as “mulch” and help retain water loss.
Hi Tracy it is a beautiful garden but I just curious where do you get the hydrangea seed ?
You can get them from the panicles in your garden. They are best to harvest in mid-late fall. Don’t forget to harvest extra as many pods may contain unviable seeds.
@@TracysHomeGarden thank you so much ❤️
Hi, it looks like you plant a lot in the container, do you need to protect t them for the winter? I am gardening in Chicago area which is US 6A, I wonder if I can also plant hydrangeas in planters like you did.
In US zone 6, they should be okay outside all winter long. I recommend starting out with panicle hydrangeas in 4-5 gal pots. If you want extra protection from colder winters, move the pots right up against a south or west facing wall of the house for some extra radiant heat from the home. If you have a front porch like mine, move them in there and they will be just fine. Just make sure to give them some water before the first freeze. Once the soil freezes, you don’t have to water again until the leaf buds start showing. All the best.
I’m looking to get either the endless summer bloomstruck or the original. I love the color of the original but heard the bloomstruck doesn’t flop as much as the original. Which one would you recommend? Thank you in advance.
Yes, the Bloomstruck is a much better choice as it does not flop as much as the Original. Happy gardening!
@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you so much Tracy!!! Love your channel❤️
Tracy, where do you get your hydrangea seeds?
All hydrangeas have seeds and you can collect them from the flower heads in the fall. Not the seeds are viable so collect more to make sure you get some viable seed pods.
👍👍🍀🍀🌷🌷
Your garden is beautiful! Do you think an Annabelle hydrangea could work as a tree form? I have a candidate, but I worry that the plant might be too floppy.
No, Annabelle is a smooth hydrangea... For tree form only panicle hydrangeas work
@@whung1978 Thank you for the advice. You've saved me some frustration.
How often do you water?
I water 1-2 time a week…but I water the plants deep and slow at the roots.
According to Proven Winners, the Fire Light could get 8'x 8', minute 29... You don't have that expectation?
I checked the PW site and you are right about the updated size of the FL being up to 8”.
Originally, the tag had 4-5 ft wide and 5-6 ft tall (however, I need to pull out my old tag to confirm) when I bought it back in 2010.
I planted my 1st FL at my previous home back in 2010….and it is now in its 13th year. A couple years a ago, the new owner said it was still under 5 ft.
However, the FL I have in this garden are in full sun and not shaded like the one at my old house (planted under the canopy of a 100+ year old maple tree). PW is pretty good about their plants so if they changed it on their website then it may end up growing to be that size or larger.
Thanks for letting me know because the next time I visit the nursery, I will also check to see if they updated their tags here to match what’s on their website. And if FL plants will be 8+ ft then I will have to do some very drastic changes. 😮
Thanks 🙏 for letting me know!
Interesting…, that’s one reason I never purchased that one. I really like the coloring and bloom timing, but don’t have the room for that size. Wondering if it use to only get the size you mentioned, but has been bred to get bigger now or in your zone it won’t reach that large.
Please. Show how you. Feed. You plants. Zlata. Florida
