- Thanks for growing with us!
We LOVE blue flowers! We also love perennials, so when we can have both it is a match made in garden heaven. Today we are sharing some of our favorite blue flowering perennials as we plant, cut back, and give you a tour of some of our low maintenance favorites.
First we are adding three new plants. Magic Show Ever After Veronica and Sweet Romance Lavender from @ProvenWinnersTH-cam and@WaltersGardens. They both offer fantastic color and texture to the garden. The third is Veronicastrum Fascination. This is also called Culver's Root. A North American native, this tall plant will gives incredible color and structure to the garden.
Second on the agenda is maintenance. We start with cutting back Bumblesky Meadow Sage, a crystal blue flower that has given us so much joy. Next we take after some Brunnera to encourage it to send out more giant silver leaves. Last is the biggest chore of the day, cutting back our Walker's Low Catmint. This will encourage a fresh bloom just in time for our garden tour in July.
Third we share a quick walk through of some of our other favorites. Roxanne Geranium, Boom Chololatta Geranium, Heaven Scent Jacob's Ladder, Stormcloud Amsonia, Neptune Catmint, and Totally Stoked Riptide Stokes Aster.

One of the best things (there are so many!) about your content is how detailed your description box is and please never stop putting the names up on the screen, the production is very well done. Stunning garden 🪴
Thank you!!
When I’m having a blue day, I know exactly what videos I need to watch, Grow for me Gardening is number 1 on my list. Thank you for sharing your passion, your knowledge, your humour, your love.
That is really encouraging thank you
You guys never fail to amaze me with your garden skills. The pops of purple and blues in the garden really stand out and it’s beautiful 💜💙💜💙
Thank you so much!
Love watching you both in your gardens. You can see the 💙 you have for your obsession!
Yes! Thank you!
I love your garden and also you guys.I love watching your happy smiles while showing your beautiful garden.
Thanks so much
You two are so much fun to watch. And your garden is so beautiful 💚💚💚
Glad you enjoy it!
I have been watching your videos for a while and have enjoyed every one of them! What I especially like is the fact that you display the name of the plant on the bottom of the screen.
Great job guys, keep gardening! Thanks
I'm really glad that it's helpful!
Your garden is one of the most beautiful gardens I watch on TH-cam. Beautiful job guys. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
It’s such a pleasure to watch your videos. Your interactions and presentation are just as lovely as your garden 😊.
Thank you so much!
Teamwork makes the dream work. Your place is just so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
My wife and I are clearing an area at the border of our property. We are building the low end up about four feet. So We’ve been monitoring the amount of sun per day in that area and notice that it come a go from full sun for a few hours to partial shade then back again. We are planning no planting Endless Summer Hydrangeas, Hostas, Coral Bells, Alliums and various Spring bulbs. Do you think these plants will do well with not having 6 hours of direct sunlight?
That sounds like more than enough sun for many plants.
@@growformegardening thank you. you guys ROCK I have never seen a piece of paradise that was laid out so beautifully. and y'all have so much sun light. we get so many ideas from watching your videos. keep up the good work.
Another great video from two very talented and knowledgeable gardeners! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful gardens! Gail❤️
I was PAINFUL watching you cut back the catmint 😢 I love your videos!
It will be back so quickly!
Hey guys! I cant help buy smile while watching your videos ☺
Aww thanks!!
Great information on blue flowers. Loved all it!💕
I love them!
Shopping from my own garden is one of my favorite things to do! Looks great guys!!
Us too!
Your garden is always beautiful love it
Thanks so much
Watching you cut the Catmint really did hurt! Nevertheless, your garden is stunning!
I can still smell them in my head. haha
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love watching your videos. You explain what you're doing so well & your love for gardening shines through. You've given me a lot of inspiration & confidence to try new things & trying new plants. Thanks so much for sharing your time & talents with all of us.
I’m so glad it has been helpful
I love watching you guys in your garden, Its absolutely gorgeous and I wait daily for your show to come on TH-cam. I sometimes watch twice 😄 you guys work great together. love love love
So nice of you!
Absolutely beautiful 👍🏽
Thank you! 😊
Awesome video. I can’t say enough about how beautiful your gardens are and I hope you’ll show us an up date video on how everything you cut back recovers. Big fan🙌😊
Oh we will. I bet it is looking fluffy in two weeks
Love watching you guys!!! You’ll are great ⚜️💐
Thanks so much!!
You guys have the most organized garden, it’s very beautiful.
Why thank you
Hi Eric and Christopher
Your garden is just absolutely beautiful
I can’t wait for spring here to add some of those plants in my garden 🥰
Georgina
Go for it!
Great job guys!! Your garden is stunning!! 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Love these work videos so I can see how to get results like yours!
Not the most difficult work...just lonnnng!
I really enjoy garden chores, maintenance, and clean up videos! New gardener here so it helps me figure out what I need to do to have a garden like yours!!
You can do it!
Lovely garden
Thank you so much 🙂
You booth did such a good job and your garden looks beautiful
Thanks!
Eric, “I’m talking to the people.” 😂😂😂 One downside of compost, if you have dogs who walk in your garden it creates an absolute mess. I did compost then ended up having to add mulch because the dogs’ paws were so muddy.
Thankfully there are no dogs here!
You both are so good together in the garden. Gardens are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Everything is gorgeous in my favorite garden👍😎❤️ thanks guys for sharing!
Our pleasure!
Love everything!
Thanks!
Wow! The garden looks great.
Thanks!
Beautiful blue flowering plants ❤your gardens thanks for the lessons🐝🐞🌳
Thanks for visiting
Love you both!!! I am all about cottage gardens and these plants are up my alley ❤😊
Us too!
You guys are full of information. Great video. I'm going out and cutting back my sprawling catmint,
go for it!
Thanks for bringing us along! I know it had to be done, but seeing the catnip go was traumatic 😅😅😅😅, if you start having problems with snails, you can purchase beneficial snails at your garden center, at least you can it south texas. They eat the destructive type! Also, spanish lavender can take higher humidity, but they need a fast draining , porous soil and prefer to be planted on a mound. Luv you guys ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Good to know!
Thanks for the tip!! Im in zone 9 c.texas😊🌳
oooh that's hot
I've learned the best slug control is frogs. When i put in a pond the frogs came and haven't had slug or snail issues since.
interesting... one day we might need to add a little pond
Blues are my favorites…you’ve added to my shopping list!! Everything looks amazing guys - love it❤️
Love them!
Very motivating to see you do all the garden chores! With the heatwave starting today I got out of bed early right after watching your video and went out and conquered some of mine. I don't think any of us can go out again for 4 or 5 days unless it's the crack of dawn! Stay cool and hydrated guys!
This is going to be a rough week in the garden
What a beautiful garden 👌 i love all the blue flowering plants. And i love watching your videos,you guys are awesome 💐
thanks!
Lovely garden because of you both I picked up catmint walker low I do have cats meow and cats PJs
Great!
I love the blue flowering plants for sure! Your garden is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you so much 😊
Great plant choices in the garden! Definitely share the deets on that amazing watering can. 13:55 Wow 🤩
Here it is! gardenheir.com/products/haws-x-gardenheir-collection-limited-edition?variant=47922660016449
To expensive for my budget. But iris nice
But the watering can is nice!!!! I found a great watering can at an antique mall I love it
@@doreen9838 love that
@@doreen9838 a splurge for sure but they are just lovely to use
You guys are great with color, the area your working on today is just georgious!!!!
Thanks!
Nice throwing the plant in the hole technique, Christopher! 🤣 PW Blue my mind Evolvulus is fabulous in planters, but it is also an excellent interplanting/colour contrasting landscape plant as well. I plant it tucked under my Huechera's(I like it under the lime leafed best) , coleus, dwarf inkberry, and under my summer lavender phlox.
Sometimes you just need to toss a plant! haha
Nice sharing, thank you so much
Thank you!
What a beautiful garden. Looking for something blue that can handle extreme heat in California
That would not be our area of expertise, but I'm sure there is some stunning Mediterranean plant that would work
Your garden is beautiful! I'm a big fan of blue flowers in the garden. Planted the Caryopteris Beyond Midnight last summer and I must say, if you don't have it, you need to plant some. It is absolutely stunning!!! Even in our already 95 plus degree heat hear in central Oklahoma, this plant has performed beyond belief.
I think we need one asap
I dread having to cut back our catmint but agree that it must be done!
It sure does
I never dreamed that such a garden could have such a variety in upper NY. What would be awesome is to see one of those garden planning diagrams showing your favorite plant combinations. For those of us who are desperately trying to take notes about plant names and what I like growing next to what that would give us a start for what to buy for our own garden.
Those would be nice to have
Watching you clear all the Walkers Low today really showed off the roses! I’m curious as to what your rose care regiment looks like - how often you fertilize, preventative insect care, etc. My zone is also 5b/6a but Chicago suburbs and I am dealing with major sawfly issues that seem to really hard to get rid of! Thanks so much for your videos!
Get some Captain Jack's Deadbug brew and spray weekly!
Have you tried Phenomenal lavender? It does well in our moist PacNW garden and Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) grows it successfully in her garden in The Hamptons after not having luck with other varieties.
We haven't but I'll look it up!
That was a LOT of catmint.
I can still smell it. I think it's stuck in my brain!
Please take good care of your millipedes. They are very beneficial to your soil by eating dead plant leafs and breaking down your garden soil. They also eat aphids, mites, and other harmful insects. Your place is beautiful!
Those are definitely a good bug. I pushed them off to the side so they were ok!
Too bad they don’t eat snails/slugs which decimate our hostas.
@@nancyw5779 and they are just gross
Love starting my my day with your beautiful garden! This was perfect I planted a bunch of nepeta last year, and this is the rainiest season we've had in MN for awhile. Most have splayed open and need to be cut back now, so this was a great tutorial! Thank you! Also, the lavender is going to be gorgeous- my munstead and phenomenal came back beautifully and just planted some hidcote this spring- i just try to ignore them and dont give any extra water and they’ve been doing great here!
Cut that catmint! Mark it on your calendar...just wait until you see how quickly it comes back
I always enjoy seeing what's going on in your beautiful gardens, I look forward to your videos! Thank you for teaching me how to be brave about cutting plants and shrubs way back when it's time. I have some Salvia to cut back now. I also have discovered voles in my gardens here in southern NH and they are making a mess of our lawn. Have you found a favorite product or method to use? I've read castor oil sprays is a good starting point.
You are so welcome! Voles are gross, they are on our list of critters to deter
❤

I have two lavender plants in my front yard South facing border, so they get lots of full sun, dry soil, (zone 7a, southern Connecticut), and I'm going to add more to make a hedge across the front. Thanks for the gardening inspiration.
There is something so charming about a lavender hedge
Not a Veronica guys. Veronicastrum virginicum. I call it Culver’s Root. It will get taller every year. Last week my three plants which are about 4 years old and not PW were about 6’ high and I gave them the Chelsea Chop! They are a later bloomer anyway and now even later but they will be bushier and the flower spikes maybe not be as long.
The plant tag with it said veronica. We always take a minute to research a plant so we figured out that it was mislabeled.
@@growformegardeningI have noticed that PW often simplifies the names on its tags, for example, leaving out botanical names (or hard to find on label). I love the architectural structure of this plant! Enjoy.
Oh this was not a Proven Winners brand plant. I wasn't a branded container
@@growformegardeninginteresting!
Sadly my favorite blue flowers are not the easiest to grow. I do more Cottage garden style and Delphiniums are a must. I'm to the point of just buying them and calling them annuals because they seldom return for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. They are heavy feeders and susceptible to rot if too wet in winter so I suspect this is my problem. I've done the Fascination in the past and yes it gets crazy tall.
You know we haven't had the best luck with them either. I planted some from seed a few years ago and the rabbits took all but one tiny flower. This year we actually have two pale blue ones in its place but we didn't see them coming in time to stake them.
Do the Flavorette roses actually taste nice? I am so curious about those roses… I’ve been looking for them at Garden Centres near me all season; no luck finding any! 🌱 Thank you for another great video. ✌️
Honestly the flavor isn't terribly strong. It's not unpleasant, sort of a fruity floral.
Your garden looks amazing. How do you keep the deer away from your garden?I use to live in upstate New York and had to install a fence to keep the deer out. What is the name of the peach rose in your garden?
We use a bunch of different methods
❤ your garden so beautiful. Your smoke bush is doing so good. Do you have it in shade or full son. I have one, and it's not doing well.
I'd say it's pretty much full sun
Will the Walkers Low Catmint get stronger as it matures? I bought 4” cans for the first time this year and they look spindly and floppy.
100% a lot of ours are actually divisions. Every few years they can be pulled up and given the chop!
Beautiful guys as always. How do we email you to share photos? I need your opinion and help.
Our email is listed on the channel homepage
@@growformegardening I am new at this and for some reason can’t find it :(
I might have missed it, but do you have any lilacs in your garden? I would think you would for the cottage vibe, but I can't remember seeing any in your tours.
We do have a few! They came and went a little quick this season
@@growformegardening I was going to say! Nothing makes me feel more like a fabulous old Southern lady like lilacs. Except maybe hydrangeas. 😁
@@The_Bunny_Cakes That makes me giggle
Can you help me! I just watched your hydrangeas videos and I have planted 12 limelight hydrangeas in a row but I thought they had to be farther apart! I did like 7 feet. Is this going to be ok?? You say 5 ft in your video and yours are gorgeous! Please help!
Oh you’ll be ok!! It make take an extra season for them to touch but limelights grow so big that it will be great!
Is that a Ghost plant along the fence ?
Kintzley’s Ghost Honeysuckle
Can you tell me what you use the metal cage for that looks like a little house?
It's a crop coop from Gardener's...we just don't have any crops in it yet!
💙🪴👍🏻🪴💙
🌸🌸🌱🌱🌸🌸
Why didn't you add any fertilizer to the new plantings?
No need to fertilize right away. The lavender doesn’t need it and the other two have lots of compost to feed them
What is it that you put at the base of the roses? I didn't catch it.
chicken wire!
How do I sign up for your garden tour in July? 😅
It will be posted in the description of our next video!
@@growformegardening awesome, thank you!
I bought those Okatsune pruners based upon your recommendation and ILOVE them! I was a die-hard fan of Fiskars pruners (with the spring mechanism), but now I've switched to Okatsune. Great price point too.
I'm so glad they are working out for you. They are holding up really well considering the price!
Is that veronica fadcination the same as veronicastrum virginicum (aka culvers root) 'fascination'? If so, it's a beautiful nativar. I cant wait to see how it works in your garden. The white version is very tough and grows great in my zone 5b garden in Massachusetts. I'd love to add the blue version to my garden.
I know you didn't ask me but yes it's culvers root. I grew it many years ago and gave it away to a friend. I garden in Wisconsin zone 5
I think you are right! It's interesting that the tag didn't have all of that information on it. It really just said "Veronica"!
I can't wait to see it grow
Your garden looks amazing. How do you keep the deer away from your garden?I use to live in upstate New York and had to install a fence to keep the deer out. What is the name of the peach rose in your garden?
I would love to have a fence across the back. Which are is that rose, we have a few peachy ones
not sure which peach rose. They are all beautiful. If you could give me a few names, that would be great. Thank you!!
Maybe it is the Honey Apricot Flavorette Rose from Proven Winners? That is a lovely peach colored rose!
It is sooo good!
Lady of Shallot, Crown Princess Margareta, Flavorette Honey Apricot??
