What a beautiful garden centre!! Thankuou very much for taking us along with you! The conversation between the two of you! You can tell he is very involved in his garden centre and takes pride in it!! Thanks again...this was awesome!!
I've in zone 9b, Central California and have tried numerous times with several clematis and have had zero success, both in pots and in ground. I love them so much its heart breaking. They just don't thrive and get eaten up by insects. Never had such a challenge with any other plant. I will however keep trying.
This was great! I was thinking about when we might get this video a couple of days ago, as I was buying yet another one his products! Great video, thanks for giving us all a look at your operations! Also fun to hear a couple of plant guys talking plants.
I didn't know about CLEMATIS! they are perfect for growing up the giant privets on my property line. I got rid of the horrible English ivy that was choking the privets out, But now they need a different kind of clumber friend, who will twine up into them in a companionable sort of way like Clematis will. And the birds also would like to have something growing up the privets, now that the heavy and damaging English ivy is gone.
And also, here in California we often find plants grown in Canada, and now I have an idea about the kinds of businesses and the kinds of people who are growing these beautiful plants for our enjoyment!
I Loved this tour of their huge green houses. The Clematis plants were Very Lovely ! I was suprised to see the Passion flower vines for sale. Here in Arkansas, that beautiful plant grows wild. Even the tiny one that's named after a Southern State. I'm old and have forgotten it's name.
Loved this tour of the garden shop as well! Very informative with some great plants, we need their garden shop here in Southern Ontario as well! Thanks Jason 😀
Wow! I’ve never visited a nursery so devoted to clematis like this. I’m glad that Clematis grows in South Carolina. I have a dark purple one in bloom now that survived being cut down to the ground by the lawn crew.But I have to say some of the loveliest clematis I ever saw was growing at the botanical garden in Akureyri, Iceland.
I just bought a trio of their clematis this year. Unfortunately, Costco packaging isn’t the best and they were almost half-dead but they survived and I’m pampering them. Love that they are a Canadian family-run business! Thanks for this tour!
I'm so glad you enjoyed. It's one of my favorite things about the horticulture industry is that many of (even the largest) businesses have their roots as a small family farm.
I gave up on Clematis. Planted 4 varieties last year suitable for Ottawa. Only one survived and all others are dead this year. They bloomed nice last year and I provided every thing they need; moist soil , planted smaller Hosta and astilbe at the base, rich soil .. name it. Very disappointed
Although the odd variety will do well in low light, in general Clematis need lots of light and don't like to run too wet. If hosta and astilbe are thriving it might be a bit too dark for your clematis. Often the most conscientious gardeners struggle with clematis simply because they run too wet.
I am in coastal New England and am having good luck with clematis in sometimes difficult conditions. I heard early on that they like their head in the sun but feet in the shade. When I can’t give them real shade, I’ve placed a large stone on the sunny side, and it seems to keep the roots cool enough. I agree that they do not need or want to be wet. Good luck!
I wish there was a Garden Center here in NY. I love tours like this and don't have a place like this to enjoy near me. I can't even find mulch or compost in bulk. I have to buy bags at the box stores and it gets very expensive that way.
OK I commented too early - those geraniums - I LOVE geraniums but it is hard to get a lot of the different varieties here. They strike for cuttings so easily, I'm guilty of taking lots of bits and pieces from everyone's garden :)
I want to work in a garden center that's will be my dream job comes true, I admire so much these people to work with plants and flowers they are full of love and peace in their hearts to do this kind of job, plant the seed tacking care of that until the plant is stable. It's a beautiful job. I hope one day I will be working on a garden center I will be the happiest person in the world.
I have a question about my Clematis its been years not flowering. Is their any suggestion or fertilizer that I can put so that it start flowering again?..
Like roses, clematis are not picky about the fertilizer type. Something relatively balanced (like 10-10-10 or 14-14-14) is a good base, and then you can bump up the P with some bone meal.
I've never seen Solenia begonias baskets, they are a show stopper, Absolutely stunning! Thank you for the wonderful tour. Its always a kick for me to see something new & different, other than the same old, box store, repetitive 🪴 plants.
It's not obvious in what state this place is located. City, yes, but not the state. I'm sure it's somewhere, yet I suggest you might want to mention the state upfront with the city name in the future.
Thanks for the feedback Linda. It's only quite a narrow (but visible!) portion of my audience who are local to the Fraser Valley, so I added the location notes for them. I didn't clue in to add the regional details for viewers outside of my area (southwest BC).
Alstroemeria are awesome, I especially like the taller types and keep a few as container plants, just place in cool storage from November through to the end of winter, great plants!
Thanks. Couldn't agree more. This year I tried them from seed I bought in - so fast and easy! I'm definitely pickup up another variety from seed this coming year.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Have had alstroemeria 'Inca Ice' as potted specimen for several years, never has a down moment throughout the entire summer, colors are subtle, but gorgeous! On order is 'Summer Break', which is also one of the taller growing types, the super compact forms are too squat and congested looking for my preference, though the taller ones hard to come by, at least I mean via mail order.
Thanks Ruth. It is quite nice! I don't think it's likely that someone from Clearview is going through these comments to answer about the products though.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm but you do sell other things? Like plants, possibly fertilizer, soil? I’m out in Langley, but would love to check out various other sellers, kinda boring looking at the same stores and same items. Haha
Lol. Life must be hard for you - being the one true authority on how a bunch of made-up words should be pronounced and then having to go around and be offended when the rest of the world varies in any way.
There needs to be inspection/plant health paperwork for the border agents, so usually it's better to buy on your side of the border - I know Clearview sells to US growers & retailers.
