Hi Heidi, I especially loved Gomphrena truffula pink this year. Just magical the way it sits atop a planter and lightly spreads throughout. Loved it! It was my first year with it. It’s funny how you can pass by different plants year after year, never thinking much of them and then all of a sudden you notice a particular plant in a different way and it becomes a new favorite. Happy New Year!
This was very fun to see in winter, thank you. I also love seeing your container combos. I go back and watch them in winter for some color. Fwiw I like Jazzberry more than Bubble gum, and now that I know how Jazzberry performs I will be buying more of that. Plus the color goes better with autumn colors than bubblegum, so I can leave it until November. I couldn't find any Bordeaux last year, and that and Latte are my favorite supertunias.
Thank you for all the information! I love the top 23! My favorite annual is salvia rockin playin in the blues…I live in Michigan have an issue growing coneflower's which I was not aware it was a native plant.
You look beautiful and ready for spring! I’m jotting down all the plants I want for this year and so excited watching you take us through these. Thanks Heidi!
Thanks for the fun video to watch in the winter while we’re planning our gardens! Tater Tot is absolutely one of my favorites, as is Lemon Coral Sedum. Both of these are sprinkled throughout my garden. I did want to introduce some peach tones into the garden, so I planted some of the Echinacea Cantaloupe Supreme this past year. They were fabulous! Loved the structure of the blooms and the color was exactly what I was looking for.
Great video Heidi. I'm surprised that geraniums didn't make your list. I think geraniums with diamond frost euphorbia in a terra cotta pot is classic and always a great performer in my area. I also love the playing the blues salvia, and the midnight sun weigela is on my wish list for this year.
One of my favorite annuals from the past 2 seasons has been the Chocolate Drop coleus. I love using it as a ground cover. It fills in quickly and winds all around the other plants. Also easy to propagate and make more plants. Thanks for this video. Great information!
Hi Heidi, just to let you know I love your channel. You are interesting and informative and one of my go to channels I watch with my morning coffee. Thanks and keep em coming.
Awesome video, my very, very favorite is supertunia bubblegum. That was the first one I planted and I will always love it. I was really hoping cashmere verbena would be in the top 23.But all the flowers plants and shrubs you talked about. Thank you for sharing this with us. Also I love all coneflowers.❤
Great video, Heidi! Very informative and just perfect for brightening up a cold rainy winter day. The timing is also spot on for our spring garden planning. Thanks for putting together this very helpful guide 😊
Yes, I saw them in your gardens, beautiful!!! I have some still going in a large container with a canna, white diamond euphoria, white mums, yellow/orange lantana and broccoli!!! I have a large trellis in the pot with a germanium white and red, with wire vine hanging and another christmas cactus... Totally LOVE FLOWERS... I LOVE IT!!!
Great video Heidi. From your list, I planted Russian sage, allium, wild berry coral bells in 2023 but come spring I hope to plant more hydrangeas and Gomphrena into my gardens. I might have to squeeze in some Midnight Sun shrubs, very eye catching.
There are so many choices of the perennials and scrubs. I wi) need to watch again. I do have deer. We live in the country on 10 acres, I have lots of space . I need to update alot of my landscaping.
I thought you would feature your Alstromeria that you include in your garden tours and has always been sold out when I try to purchase. I'll be pre-ordering for the upcoming season. I purchased the magicballs two seasons ago. They were very small and turned brown the first winter. I thought they were dead but they came back to that gorgeous chartreuse color in spring. They are now brown again this winter but I know they will survive. Very slow grower but great in small gardens.
I wish I had the Inca Ice available to sell. That probably would be a very good seller. There has been a production issue with that plant from plug growers and it is no where to be found any more. That is so sad.
LOVE this video, Heidi, thanks! I’ve made note of some plants I need to preorder. Such as Supertunia Vista Paradise, Heuchera Wildberry and Empress Wu hosta. I would love to visit you this year but you’re a long way from southern Indiana. Love that I can preorder from you. Thanks again! Happy New Year!
The smaller size is a 1 quart sized container. It is about 6-8" tall when it ships. We trim them every 2-3 weeks to promote branching before they ship.
I planted three Little Lime Punch hydrangeas last year. Could you suggest some perennials or annuals that would complement them that are rabbit resistant. Bonny
Would love to do a Patriotic theme using Blue My Mind XL in a container. Michigan zone 6b & looking at annuals. What would you recommend to plant with it that’s red & white? Thank you!
If planting it with other things you will want to make sure they are drought tolerant plants. Royale Red Zone Lantana and maybe Diamond Frost or the new White Bidens Marshmallow.
