Corey, I appreciate you talking about switching out similar plants, based on availability. I'm sure there are many of your viewers, like me, who live in small towns and aren't able to find the exact variety of plants used in the recipes.
@UpNorthGardenMI Thank you for replying! It doesn't usually affect the overall look on mine either! I'm in zone 8 (souther Oklahoma just a few miles from Texas) and we have been having 100+ heat for sometime now and that doesn't help either!
Love your channel and it is nice to see new ideas by you switching out the plants. I think proven winner recipes is a great resource to get ideas to fit our own gardens.
I found your channel this spring, and much to my happy surprise, you are in my county-not far away! Now I will be shopping at Netta's forever. I love the swaps you did for some of the proven winners. All of your planters are beautiful! Thanks to you, I have a new petunia to love, Bee's Knees, and they are doing very well for me. Thanks for showing the trimming of the pots. Deb from Onaway
How is it that 10 weeks have already passed? I purchased a 2 quart container of 4 wave petunias this spring from a big box store and took your advice- I split them in half and put each set into their own large 16 inch urn and oh my goodness! You were so right about not over crowding them! They look spectacular and my neighbors have asked why theirs aren't doing the same, LOL. I do also use the fertilizer. The Texas heat is creeping up though, so I will probably lose them even after giving them a good cut back. I have so enjoyed them this year though- and I know it was all because of your advice- so a million thank you's!
So beautiful! ❤ Unfortunately I can’t seem to get my potted flowers to get so big. I use the same fertilizers. Water myself daily. Not sure what I do wrong.
Wd like to learn more abt maintenance of Angel wing begonias. I hv trimmed mine because of getting tall and leggy. Then wht I trim turns leggy. Not growth. Eventually just sticks.
I love them all! Torn between the bright yellow orange one and the orchid and white as my favorites. I think I have the same El Brighto coleus, that I got from you, it's doing great.
Hi Corey thank you for the update how beautiful! Those angel wings and solar flare are just something else My friend has been building a big beautiful moon garden and I shared this video so she could see the angel wings.Have a great weekend!
I love your videos! I’m in Kansas, and it’s really hot here. I never thought of changing to a bigger pot when a plant isn’t looking good. Inside plants, sure, but outside flowers it never crossed my mind. Thanks for sharing that, it’s really helped.
Thank you for your very informative videos. Providing information to different plants and growth Habits helps a new gardener so much. Like you said as much I love the proven winner lines, we do not always have access to those. What is a good way to access some of the alternatives you worked with this. Is something I go and ask my local greenhouse’s to possibly try ? Or is there access for a home gardener to get the seeds. Any guidance is appreciated.
I got 3 elephant ears plants that I wanted to try for the first time. I was going to plant one in a pot with a canna lily and 2 pots with an elephant ear and a hibiscus plant. I was told they were a tropical plant and would go good with the hibiscus and a canna lily. But, then I read somewhere else elephant ears don't want full sun but the hibiscus and canna lily does. Can you please tell me what the true facts are on the elephant ears plant? By the way, I love all your pots updates .Thank you Corey!
Wow! They’re all beautiful- can’t pick a favourite. PW isn’t always available here, so I appreciate the alternatives you have suggested. I was able to find super vista bubble gum and their yellow, so am trying them for the first time - with your fertilizer tips. They were a tad leggy and rough looking from the nursery😮 but with transplanting into large sized pots, judicious pruning and regular fertilizer they are filling in nicely! Loved your initial plantings- with the recipe changes-and the regular updates! I’m learning so much…and have shared your site/videos with friends and family.
Lately I've been using things other than planters, like trash cans and bowls from Dollar Tree. And actually, if you have DT stores in your area, they've had some nice larger planters for $3-$5.
I love the orange and yellow million bells, and the pinkish coleus with the ruffled edge is stunning!!! I have learned a lot from you Corey! Thank you so much! I’m in southern Ontario so we have pretty much the same climate, ( including that last heat wave and all the rain! )
Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! They are all beautiful! Hard to decide I love beat your neighbor! First time using! Thank you for the update and all your great tips 💞
I don’t do recipes I just pick things I like and pop an unexpected color so far so good. I’ve cut back some of mine too. I think the orange is my favorite vibrant and cheerful colors
