You're killing me, Jim. I see your videos and I want to go out and start planting like it's spring. Love seeing new things (or new to me) that I might be able to find a spot for. Always room for one more!!
The old Hosta variety "Francee" is a reliable late bloomer. Maybe not the most spectacular Hosta but stays good looking and always waits until late summer to send up blooms. Sometimes the older stuff has been around for a reason. In a pot or in the ground, even the one the deer ate, all blooming right now. A good medium size, vigorous Hosta that's worth having, the hummingbirds like the blooms too. North Georgia needs some rain!
I bought a plant years ago, it finally bloom after moving it three times, the catalog said it was a tree hydrangea, never really grew tall but this year I saw white flowers, wasn't expecting it at all
I have a 20 year old variegated hydrangea in my yard that I transplanted from my mom's yard, and subsequently transplanted again, that has only ever bloomed once (in 2021). It's a lacecap. I sure hope it blooms again someday. It seems to love the spot it's in, but the past two winters have killed it back to the ground.
I know you have many pollinator plants, but could you give us your top 5 perennials or shrubs. that pollinators love. I am trying to bring pollinators to my new garden in SC
Loving the tours! What is your opinion on cedar mulch? It seems to keep ants from setting up house in my pots. Just curious what you think about using it in beds?
Zone 8a Milton FL, i relocated my amaryllis plants from under 30ft magnolias into full sun flowerbed. Now the foliage is yellowish and burnt tips. Will they acclimate?
I’m loosing all my thuga’s. I planted them yrs ago and now all are browning at the same time. It’s my privacy screen from the street. I’m panicking please help. I’m in Cary, NC
@@JimPutnam I wanted to plant some evergreen conifers in my garden but have put it off due to the extreme summers we are having now. I was in zone 8b on the Gulf Coast but it has been changed to 9a now so I'm probably going to forget most conifers now.
Mixed species hedge to replace, especially things that can tolerate dry/hot as well as humid. Having mixed species will help with disease control, and if one thing succumbs, you will still maybe have its neighbor. Maybe some stuff that is native to Georgia/Florida would work out?
