Great vlog. Would you show us how you move shrubs around your garden? I have to move three and only have a general sense of how to do it without killing the plant. Thank you.
My fav color in the garden is white. I am a floral designer so I do love lots of color combos. I love orange and pink together. I love orange and purple together. I love orange and yellow together.
Hi Danielle….I too, like your mom struggle with bunnies eating my lilies, so growing in a pot works well for me. My favorite garden bed colors are pink, purple/blue with white. However, there are so many beautiful orange flowers, that a few years ago, I changed one small backyard bed to orange. The flowers look so pretty next to a large blue spruce. Thank you for sharing these weekly Saturday garden tours with us. Your gardens look beautiful!
Hi Danielle, I want to comment on the quality of this video as I’m starting to watch it! The clarity and colour seem to explode on my screen this morning! 🥰📸🇨🇦
I adore orange flowers. And I adore your garden. It is a little slice of Heaven itself, I think. I also love how you are open to experimenting. That is what a great gardener - as opposed to just a good gardener - does.
Hi, Danielle. I love all of your videos. They give me such peace. I am about three years into gardening, having focused mostly on 7b natives and this year with an eye towards cut flowers. I just completed a memorial cut flower garden for my mother’s memory. Your videos and knowledge inspire me so much. Thank you! Ps I love orange over reds but right now I’m digging mauves and creams…!
Hi Danielle! Your gardens are Absolutely Breathtaking. I only wish my gardens looked like yours. I Love your weekly garden walks and talks. I so appreciate you telling the names of yhe flowers. Thank you for taking us along with you and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. Happy Gardening to you!!! ❤❤❤
The color combinations you use in your gardens have a wonderful cohesion. You have brought beauty and a peaceful feeling to each one of the garden rooms. Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE the orange. I'm using different shades of it in one of my beds with purples, pale yellow, and a light peachy pink. I love the different color combinations in different areas of my garden. The challenge is making it transition well as you have
Unfortunately, I really dislike orange and purple colors in flowers, fabrics, decor etc. I adore white, yellow, green colors. When we lived in NE, PA I also liked reds, but in SW, FL that is way too hot of a color. I always enjoy your movies! ❤
Orange and purple are my favorite combination as well. Orange does make me giddy happy. Just writing with an orange pen makes my day😂. Beautiful gardens as ever!
I adore your garden. I love the flower walk and that’s been my favourite since I started watching you. This year however I absolutely love how your raised garden area is looking. It is just stunning. ❤
As always, your videos are educational, inspirational and enjoyable. When you interplanted Forget Me Nots with Ranunculus, I followed your lead. The Forget Me Nots are exploding now. Planting lilies in pots is another suggestion I will be implementing. Off topic, I immediately thought of you when viewing an email yesterday from Our Country Store Fabrics. They were introducing Christmas fabrics. I hope the cheerful fabric called Winter Floral Natural Winterberry made by Free Spirit puts a smile on your face. I know you have a passion for Amaryllis. Take care!
Hi Danielle! I love the pops of orange in your border! To my surprise, I have fallen in love with Ruby Spider daylily. I didn’t think I would like that big pop of red but it is beautiful.
I love sun patient so much!!! They will grow very fast with full sun but they will need water almost daily, requiring water similarly to hydrangea. I remember the sunflower seed head swag for winter. I was inspired and did one. I love this style of raise bed mixing plants and flowers. Love your weekly tour. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻❤️
Oh Danielle. I so agree. I did same this year with my tiger Lillys. I’ve been inspired by Claus Dalby. Adding pots near bloom really helped. Plus critters near me did up bulbs. I did plant some star blazer bulbs in back of border in my 4 ft high beds but guess what…squirrels moved them around. Now I might need to move them mid growth. Uggggggg. You are such a joy to watch and talented. I’m NE NJ so I often “borrow” plant ideas from you. Ps thanks for all your tours. I really look forward to them!
Sun patients are so easy & yes they thrive in full sun!!! I made a spilling container with sun patients & they are thriving Your garden is gorgeous!!! Our weather is finally getting warmer here in zone 5b Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Great Dixter does the technique of growing in pots to add interest where needed. Love the new fountain. Bees just adore creeping thyme. You can transplant starts of it easily.
From watching "Garden Crossings" yt channel, I remember that she always says when showing the sunpatiens in the flower beds, that they don't like or need fertilizer. And she always emphasizes that point.
Loving this garden tour & talk 😊 You have really inspired me with having plants in pots amongst your borders as mine is a single relatively small border with Spring bulbs that I love and do not want to dig out so now that the foliage has died out, I can have summer plants in pots over them starting with my first ever Nicotiana Alata for their delicious evening fragrance. I wasn't a big fan of orange in borders until my very first Ballerina Tulips bloomed this Spring and brought such presence & Joy that I will repeat the experience with both Tulips and later summer plants & bulbs. Your Lilies are so beautiful and no wonder that your bouquets are selling well. I was a bit surprised by your comment referring to your neighbours selling cut flowers too ( Sunflowers ) as it isn't usual in Britain for people to sell their garden flowers ? I have noticed a beautiful carriage passing by your property at times, is this a very historic and touristic area you live in ? Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge of plants and beautiful garden with us ! Lots of Love from London UK 💚
Thank you for always sharing the why behind your what. Lots of garden channels show us how, but few seem as intentional in thinking as yours is. This is my first year growing in a new-to-me garden. I planted tulips last fall that were devoured by hungry bunnies in early spring. I have decided to grow my tulips in pots for next year for this reason. I would also love to have more lilies dotted around and think growing in pots will be an ideal solution.
Beautiful as always Danielle. The orange Lillie’s really pop. This year I tried maroon, purple, and orange tulips in a raised bed to see if I would like the combo. It was beautiful so I’m going to repeat in the landscape for next year. Thanks for the tour.
Beautiful and so cheerful as usual. I wanted to tell you about a happy accident. In one of your blogs you've mentioned growing roses again. I'm in Southern California, but surprisingly we've now just barely reach 80degrees. Anyway, I've been growing tomatoes near some of my roses. The tomatoes decided to use the rose as a help to climb. The roses have never looked better. No bugs Beautiful blooms without getting burned. My other roses are getting insect and heat damage. This was an accident, but a welcome one. In fact my neighbor thought I was growing a new plant with roses and tomatoes. 😅
Planning with lilies in a pot is genius and your arrangement looks great. I haven't decided what colors I like best in a summer garden. I know I like spring gardens best, but I think I just need to find my way through the summer and fall selection through trial and error. I have to say my favorite part of your walk this time was the hydrangea room; I really like the look of the pinks and how the blooms are fading into other shades. I like the pinnacle taken out, but I think it's because I prefer the smooth top. Anyway, I found the view of the hydrangea room beautiful, while calm and soothing. You know, now that I think about it, it's also the repeated shape of the smooth tops that reminds me of rolling hills or clouds and a pinnacle does disrupt the shape (and color) energy there, imho.
I love your garden. Learning so much from your videos. I also love the hot colors, especially the orange. I will be using it more in my garden. Love it with purple and white.
Hope your weekend has gone well. The Sun patients are worth it and will continually have flowers like their shade cousins. They are water hungry though. If it gets hot and you miss watering after a couple of days, they may flop/ wilt. They spring right back though. Being in the ground may prevent that though.....my experience is in the pot only. There is a large variety of this annual, all have done well for me.... definitely do well in sun, like the name says. I, like you've discovered, love the warm colors mixed with the pastels. Enjoy those Sun patients!
❤ Royal Sunset LA Lily. Glad you are enjoying the color now 😊. Mine had grown over 5'7" feet tall in ground this year. And they have multiplied so rapidly that i will need to divide them soon!!
Hi Danielle! I personally love the hydrangea room because I love pink! I don’t like red or orange in the garden. Of course your garden is still beautiful, though! Deanna
Hi Danielle, I had lilies in my front yard bed. Only when I planted adult plant with blooms I got to enjoy them. Finally I was looking out my window was the rabbits. So I have 18 inch pots I dug up the bulbs planted them deep in late fall pulled the pots on my patio for winter. Around February seen tiny sprouts. Like you when the lilies had flowers placed the pots out front. I was blaming the deer eating them.
Sun patiens are great once established and blooming .. if you r partially shaded They won’t bloom out - they need Full sun to flush the blooms I haven’t fed mine for weeks ago and they r happy I have started them in dappled light and had to move to second location So they won’t behave like a traditional impatien with partial sun etc Your garden is stunning and I always learn so much ! Thx
Lilies in pots placed in the garden! What a great idea! My lilies tend to get lost amongst the faster growing perennials & shrubs, not being noticed until they actually bloom. this means I run the risk of stepping on them early in the season, harming their production. Pots would be the perfect solution. II'm moving towards a pollinator & landscape garden (rather a true cutting garden,) so like you have embraced the hotter colors of yellow & orange. It's something that just seemed to happen in following the pollinator perennial interest & I'm loving it!! Thanks Danielle, always....
Hello Danielle. Welcome to zone 7. The only thing constant is change. Zone 7b 8a Georgia, hot and humid. SunPatien Electric Orange in their Compact series, and this clear orange has the best flower color fastness in full sun than other colors. ONE plant in a 5gallon pot. A rich soil like HappyFrog, and step back, as it gets huge in the heat of summer. Even in a black pot it LOVES the heat, but not dry. They bounce back well from a wilt episode however. In a bright shade they can take the heat of paved surfaces and house walls. In the Southest, the mid day sun is a bit too intense, but earlier and later sun is good and better flowering. They bloom into, and even through, the winter in Florida. They never stop blooming. Larger pots overwinter better without drying out . Three series. Compact, Spreading, and Vigorous. Many colors in each series. Vigorous are quite tall. Look for a beautiful orchid purple. Look for Compact 'Fire', an impressive glowing red. Mine over wintered on a sun porch, but the deer ate them last month ! Grrrrrrr.
I love the orange! I love fall and pumpkins….so of course I love orange! I love the pop of color with the orange in your garden. I also love the idea of growing the lily bulbs in pots. I Illinois we had over ten days of that horrible heat and humidity starting about the second week in June. We had no rain during that heat spell….finally got an inch of rain July 3rd. This week we are back to regular temps in the mid 80’s. Thank goodness! I am growing sun patients in my garden and yes they can handle full sun but need to be watered frequently. Love your garden walks!
Always such a pleasure watching your videos. You gave me a good idea putting the Lilly’s in pots, because I live in bunny kingdom. I will be adding more Hydrangeas because they don’t eat them.
Loads of peach, orange and purple/blue and chartreuse here. Love following all of your plantings. I don’t have gardens to tour here in southern Ohio and sometimes planting things I’m attracted to are much like you said about planting bulbs…only harder to move. 😂 I have no idea what they look like mature and in situ. Although, I tend to buy small and grow on a year in pots, it still doesn’t express their potential well. I’ve got a fair amount of cuttings going. Especially, thyme and Incrediballs. Still unsure how the blush/pink blooms will look once they fade. Loving your Invincibell Sprit 2’s. Good teaser for a loud hydrangea surprise…I have no idea what it could be. 😂
It’s always such a pleasure to watch your videos. I just order myself some thyme seeds can’t wait to put them in the ground and see what happens for me. 🤞🏽😍
Hi Danielle, great idea to pot up the lilies for spots of orange color in your garden. I've grown sunpatients in n full sun. I potted up three salmon ones with a light blue salvia and they are all huge and look great on my deck that gets full blazing sun and heat! I'm in zone 6a but north of you in CT. If you want to attract hummingbirds without using a feeder plant orange vermillionaire it is a hummingbird magnet! Pair it with a purple salvia for your orange purple combination and you will have a great display and lots of hummingbirds! Thanks for another beautiful garden tour. Can't wait for the big surprise in your hydrangea room! 😍
I don't have a garden, but I have seen and love a wildflower called orange milkweed here where I live near Indiana Dunes. Also wild lilies and wood lilies are beautiful orange wildflowers. I'm no longer able to hike those trails but really enjoy your garden tour, thank you! Kathy from Gary, Indiana
I love lilies and am envious that you are able to grow these beautiful varieties. I have taken out all my lilies as our area has been invaded by the red lily beetle. Hopefully after a few years without lilies the beetle will go away.
Gorgeous! Like a garden I’d pay to walk through! This year has been my large-pots-in-the-landscape year and I am absolutely loving it! The added height and texture is wonderful and the large pots are very grounding.
I love orange too! I have orange and other hot colors throughout my garden. Here in CT, sunpatiens do well in full sun. Looking forward to seeing your tulip combo. Great garden tour!!!
I am only into the hot colors in the fall. Otherwise my favorite colors are blue, pink, purple, burgundy, white with chartreuse pops everywhere. I have a very limited space, but manage to get a lot in. I do love large flowing urns and pots at different levels. Your garden is stunning. Today at the nursery they had lillys on clearance . Now I am sorry I didn't get a few. They had some pretty pinks and dusty rose ones. I may have to go back .
I planted my Drops of Jupiter the same week you planted yours. I’m so jealous to see yours filling out and looking great😁 Mine are almost all dead or dying. Maybe it was just too late to plant here in south Alabama--about 50 m north of the Gulf Coast. The leaves all started turning brown around the edges and falling off. I even tried to shield from the mid-day sun with umbrellas during a bad heat wave a few weeks ago--I know the neighbors probably got a kick out of that sight🤓 But every day has been so hot here as always July and August. The heat index was 103 yesterday. Has anyone else in my zone had success with the ornamental oregano? Maybe they got root rot? I don’t think I overwatered but maybe? They just looked so wilt-y after even one day of no rain. Then we got a week or so of daily rain, which just seemed to speed up the leaves dropping off. My soil is pretty clay-y. Probably contributed as well🙁
Hey friend! Do you think the clay soil could be holding onto the moisture and causing root rot? Any trouble with other plants in that area? I planted hydrangeas and boxwoods at my brother in laws in VA a few years ago. They have the red clay but I didn’t have any experience working in that type of soil and didn’t amend it. Many of the shrubs died within just a few weeks. It looked similar to what you’re describing. Almost like the plants had been set on fire. Anyway, not my area of expertise but when you said clay soil it reminded me of that experience.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Yes! coreopsis dying in ground too but same doing well in a pot in full sun elsewhere. I think clay is my culprit🤯 Amending is such a hard committed “thing.” I just wanted to help the pollinators🦋😄 Thanks for responding 🥰
Good morning Danielle! Big fan of yours and actually I fell in love with gardening thanks to you! I am in Boca Raton,Florida and I am a big fan of sunpatients! I believe they will be really great in your area and YES they can take the heat and sun! I have them in full sun and they do wilt usually every afternoon because of the sun beating on them all day but In your area they should be really happy! They grow and get really sturdy really fast, I actually planted 2 little tiny ones in a window box and they popped so quick and were spilling over the window box it was beautiful!! I eventually made the mistake of putting too much fertilizer in my watering can and killed those but they are fantastic! Can’t wait to see yours mature and grow!
The Lillie's are beautiful and great idea to add the Sun Patients...the colors gives a touch of tropic vibe. My SP's do great in sun but stay thristy in my now 8a, zone, I cant beleive it, I've been 7a/b for so long.😮 I could spend all day browsing your beautiful garden, all the beautiful types and combinations of flowers. I love all the colors, but my faves are shades of purple and pinks to fushias, white, green and of course the warm happy colors yellow and orange...guess that's all of them. 🌈 😅 Great suggestion on planting fall bulbs in pots. You're so right about figuring out where to plant, and if they'll go with the rest of the area, think I'm gonna try it too. Thanks as always for continuing to give us the weekly walk and talks...luv them! ❤️🌸🌹🌷🌼🦋🐞🐝😍🌱🌿🪴
I am a landscape architect in the NC mountains, similar climate to yours, and I have used thousands of Sunpatiens in the direct sun with great success. They do not like to dry out.
Beautiful! Could you show us your instant hedge that you planted a while ago along the street in combination with the hummingbird metal screens? I'd love to see how high they have grown and how the area looks
I really like orange as a focal flower. The sunset orange ones by the library are beautiful. Too much yellow, gold, orange, brown, and green looks retro (70’s color palette), so I wouldn’t use those as the main color palette unless you’re going for a rad groovy vibe.
You're Saving Grace Dahlias are beautiful. Maybe you can talk about how you handle the tubers in the fall. I dont have luck with them and purchase the tubers each spring.
I have a love/hate relationship with sunpatients…I have to water them twice daily or they shrivel up. I do like the colors offered. Maybe you’ll have better luck. I’m in southern Illinois, zone 6b/7a.
I garden in Zone 8a and I love watching your tours. I noticed you mentioned you have a Cyptomeria and it's a nice size. I just purchased two of them and have them still in pots from the nursery. How old are yours and how you took care of them. I pray that mine will be alright in this SC heat 🔥. We'll, thank you for your garden tour, it was beautiful, especially the Hydrangeas. ❤❤❤
Hi! I think it’s 5 years old. Around year 3 it really took off. It’s been self sufficient here in central PA. It does drop older branches often which can be quite messy. That didn’t start happening until this year.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Thank you for the information. Once, again I love your channel and keep doing what you do. God Bless. Pray that my Cyptomeria does well.
