Thank so much! We try and answer everyone... and the people who leave comments are always so kind and helpful to each other and us :)

And pretty in white

This one we planted -- but now we have it other places because it's easy to make cuttings from :)

You are so welcome!

It's one of our favorites... here it is on the RHS site: www.rhs.org.uk/plants/357000/hylotelephium-spectabile-stardust/details ...if you'd like to read more about it :)

@@perennial-garden It is lovely. I am from United States not sure they ship here? Probably for the best I have more plants than I need currently and more coming in spring lol. Still very pretty plant and I always love learning about new plants.

@@CA-rx9ze I know what you mean! I don't need to 'meet' a new plant anytime soon..haha! No where to put it in this crowded garden :)

@perennial-garden Exactly I just made a new garden space last year and it is already to full lol. I also went seed crazy last year and kept way to many baby plants.

@@CA-rx9ze GUILTY here too 🤣

Sometimes... but it never lasts more than a day or two here on the coast. Just a few towns inland it's much heavier. We have mostly heavy frost here in our little coastal town.

Thanks so much for watching! Hope all of your seeds sprout :)

Most of our garden is from seed or cuttings - we’re big fans of growing this way.

Dejligt du kiggede med😃Vi har købt reolerne ved Silvan, jeg har spraymalet dem sort med metal maling fra jem&fix. Mener baljen er fra Biltema.

@@perennial-gardentak for det - det ser godt ud 😊

You're so welcome! 💚💚

Super interesting! Thank you for sharing.

Very true!

I just sowed mine fot the first time so I was wondering how they would look and when they started to sprout :)

I say ''Brændende Kærlighed'' which translates in English to 'Burning Love' :) It's Lychnis chalcedonica -- gorgeous red flowers in the summer. For Phlomis, we say 'løvehale' (lion's tail) in Danish :).

The Phlomis is gorgeous tho! We have it in yellow in our garden and in purple at the cemetery garden where I work.

@@perennial-garden ah, 'brand' means fire in Dutch so I thought it had to be the same plant haha. I guess not. I'll look lychnis up!

@@MedicJune Let me know if you love it too! It's really a pretty one.

Lots of people have success with plastic containers too.. so I’m sure yours will be great 💚

Hope this helps! 🥰

So glad you watched ❤️

Thanks for watching :)

Thank you for such a kind comment :) we hope your house sells quickly ❤️ and that you find the perfect fit for your next one :)

🥰🥰 We love that! Thank you for forcing your friends to watch. 😂 Tell them we said hello ❤️

You're welcome 😊

Yes! But worth it.

Here in Fredericia, Denmark (zone 8a), winter temperatures on the coast generally range between 25°F to 35°F (-4°C to 2°C), though we occasionally experience dips a bit lower, especially during cold snaps. It’s much milder compared to Maine, where I imagine your winters are quite a bit harsher! For your unheated greenhouse, winter sowing could still work, but it’s important to use cold-hardy seeds and perennials that work well in your area. As a general rule, seeds that naturally reseed themselves in your area are perfect for winter sowing. These seeds are adapted to germinate after experiencing cold conditions.

Thanks so much for the reply to the question I put in the wrong place. I will take your advice. And I do appreciate it very much.

@@glendaclark8168 no problem! I suddenly thought I wrote it twice... but couldn't figure out where I already replied. haha... thought I was going crazy :)

Thanks! It’s taken a few years to train it up there…. Still a few more places to go. As long the wind cooperates, it’ll be fine 😂

Thank you!

@perennial-garden your welcome 🤗

That’s a great idea! And a great way to recycle an old window blind too!

Sure! Ours is called Planting Sack Soil. (I’ll put a link to it below so you can see what it is). Basically it’s the sacks of soil that you find to grow tomatoes and things in. www.silvan.dk/produkt/plantesaek-40-l-7280-9719203 It’s everywhere here and really cheap - we get it from whatever shop has it on sale 😅. Maybe you have something similar in Slovakia? We can find this in gardening shops of course, but also in hardware stores and sometimes even supermarkets when they sell spring flowers.

Thanks for watching!

❤️❤️

You are so welcome! And s big hello from Denmark to you 🥰

Yes, Agastache 'Blue Fortune' is an excellent choice for your full-sun perennial bed! It’s a stunning, pollinator-friendly plant that can reach up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall and about 2 feet (60 cm) wide, making it a great option for the back of your border. :)

Same here - fortunately they self seed and you can easily dig up and move the small ones.

Thank you for that ❤️❤️

You are so welcome! ❤️

@ so glad you’re back. Happy new year from Palm Coast Florida.

Another great video, guys. Just wondering how low the temperature gets there in winter? I, too, have an unheated greenhouse here in Maine, USA, and am hoping you're winter sowing method will work for me also. It sometimes gets well below -0 F here. Have a great day and thanks again😊

@@doowopshopgal Even the name of where you're from sounds wonderful... Palm Coast :). We're having frosty coast here 🤣

Thanks for that! We thought this quick one would get the basic rule-of-thumb across without taking too much time to watch 🤓

Thank you for your kind words! It’s always exciting to embrace the start of spring, even if it’s just sowing seeds. 😊 As for your question, there are definitely some plants that are harder to grow here in Denmark compared to the US, mostly due to our climate on the east coast, which is **zone 8a**. While our winters are relatively mild, the shorter growing season, cooler summers, and higher humidity can make certain plants challenging. Heat-loving crops like okra, melons, and some long-season tomatoes often struggle without a greenhouse, and southern perennials like gardenias or crepe myrtles don’t enjoy our cooler, wetter conditions. Tender bulbs like cannas or caladiums also need extra protection here. Drought-tolerant plants, such as agave or yucca, sometimes don’t thrive due to our higher rainfall. Even heat-loving annuals like zinnias or cosmos need a head start indoors to reach their full potential. That said, we can grow so many plants in common, like echinacea, rudbeckia, lavender, peonies, and hardy vegetables like kale and carrots, which love the cooler climate. 😊

How terrible with all the flooding... is everything ok now? Sending positive thoughts for safety for everyone affected. For us, it's finally a sunny (NOT crazy windy) weekend... a real blessing after this past week.

@@perennial-garden hi...yes I believe so,but generally it's an ongoing problem when the river rises. Idyllic in the hotter weather,with outdoor garden furniture and wildlife swimming past.In my lifetime nothing has been done to address it. So buyers beware 💞

Ahhhhhh tusind tak ❤️. Winter sowing is happening so I wanted to get this one out quickly. Happy weekend!

Even neighbors have given us meat trays over the years 😂 And we use them year after year.

You’re right, for winter sowing we sow a lot at once - and then they sprout when they’re ready. So we don’t really pay attention to the months - we do them all now when we have time. And then annuals in the spring (some in summer if they’re late flowering).

@@perennial-garden So January is usually the time for you then? That’s good to know! I always see different opinions on this but I trust yours the most as we all know you’re the seed expert 😂

😂 I’ll tell Allen to call me that too. Haha But yes, we sow everything now. Biennials we sowed in autumn or late summer so they have a better chance of flowering this year. But otherwise… Jan is best for us.

We thought this one would come in handy so we made a quick today while sowing 🤓❤️

You’re so welcome! Just something quick that came up today while sowing 🥰

Thank YOU for commenting! Hope you’re staying warm this winter 🥰

I saw that! Family in Roswell posted pictures of their snow! Even in south GA (where I’m from) they had some pretty cold weather. Hope you’re staying warm and that both of you are feeling well ❤️❤️

Thank you for watching! Big hello from Denmark ❤️

Thank you! And a big hello from Denmark :) We're actually going to visit Vietnam this summer :) Your channel will be great to watch :)

Yes, we bought them from a local hardware store (not the best quality, but they work great!) and then we painted them black to match the rest of the greenhouse (that we also painted black) :)

Thank you for watching!

We do grow Mountain Cornflower (Centaurea montana) and it doesn't spread that bad here. We have others that require much more attention before they get out of hand ;) We have it in purple and white -- and it's great because you can deadhead it and make the flowering last longer than normal. Typically, they don't flower here for more than a few weeks. AND YES to the Gaillardia! The Mesa Peach is really pretty! Altho I love the 'classic' one, too :)

Hope this will work for you until you get a new one :)
