This months Southern Living magazine has lots of SL plants ads in it. I was hoping to see you mentioned or pictured but was disappointed. Their loss IMO!
I needed this video. I got some new neighbors and to put it nicely are a "collector of things". Lol I don't care what people do, they pay their bills just like I do but I ain't gonna sit and have to look at it. 😖
Exactly, not only do my neighbors collect things but the man is a giant and tends to make a habit of looking over the 6ft wooden fence into my yard. He scares me everytime when he starts talking to me when I'm out working in the yard. I have an HOA so I can't plant as tall as I'd like. Can't wait for my shrubs to mature.
@@celesejones7243 yep, a creeper collector. Lol what makes it worse for me is they brought about 500 cats and 2 dogs with them. Their food trays consist of broken Tupperware bowls and foil pans that end up in my yard. My husband thought I was being mean until he went outside to clean the mess up. They go to auctions and buy things by the pallets and scatter them out randomly around their property. They are getting too close to the property line with their treasures. I need something like a fast growing tall hedge to keep their trash from blowing over here and I'm tired of looking at random things in rained on cardboard boxes. It's atrocious and embarrassing.
@@kellywillis1347 if you have the room and zone put in some Carolina Sapphire trees...they outgrow green giant arborvitea ! I have a HORRIBLE neighbor too...mine likes to sit outside NAKED AND MASTURBATE....crazy!
Wow! This was an amazing showcase of evergreen shrubs. If I had more space I would have so many more...Great flowering shrubs listed... You are so right about the old fashioned abelia- what a toughie. Thanks Jim!
Thanks Jim. This video is an example why this is such a great gardening channel. Jim's years of experience in the trade with all kinds of home landscaping is so important. Especially for new home sites and new home owners. Well it's good for old dogs too. lol
Thank you for creating these videos. I am currently working on a significant landscaping project at my house (zone 9B) and these videos are incredibly helpful in giving my ideas and making planting decisions!
I bought 5 of the ," Sunshine because of your videos, 3 fire chief arbs, 2 Red diamond lorapetelums, have more on my To get lists! Thank you for your videos! love them
I'm sorry I keep commenting, but I forget to say different things lol, I'm a couple hours out of Tulsa Oklahoma,zone 7, but this Summer was brutal on a lot of my shrubs, Again I'm a ," newbie and literally have so much to learn, I don't have irrigation, a good ole water hose & rain from the Heavens is what my plants get, I use land & sea & also plant starter, & mulch, no clay soil to deal with, but long story short, I'm learning so much from your videos so thanks again!
Maybe sometime you could do a video on fragrant shrubs for a wider range of zones? Because I live surrounded by farm fields every once in awhile I would like to smell flowers instead of the farm smells. Pig manure is the worst! I’m trying to find as many fragrant flowering plants / shrubs as possible for my zone 6a garden. I was hoping that maybe you would consider doing a video on only fragrant plants? Just a thought? 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃 I forgot to mention trees also. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Hi Jim, Thank you for another great video filled with fantastic info. Also, I hope you are feeling well? You sound a bit under the weather. If so, get to feeling better soon and I mean no disrespect, only concerned.
Hi Jim and Stephany - I have planted MANY of these in my landscape, per your recommendations. Now 2 years later PLEEEEEEZZZ teach us how to maintain/prune them.
Hi Jim. Do you have any suggestions for evergreens in a rain garden or bio retention garden? Specifically tall and narrow conifers. All of the rain gardens I find on line are full of grasses and look soooo MESSY!
"Little round balls," and what I call lollypop bushes and trees, are awful. Some people think shrubs and trees should be pruned into a shape, usually round or square. Bugs me. A matter of personal taste or maybe simple ignorance. I prune mine on alternating stems from behind the foliage so only about a third is cut back but not along the outer foliage. Next pruning, the previously uncut stems get cut. Results in a more naturally looking shrub and/or hedge.
