Your flower beds look beautiful. The little broken plant should be ok- everything wants to live so with a little TLC and prayer, it will be healthy and beautiful. BTW, you need to wear gloves. 😊
@@quakethoc2249 I would have ruined my gloves!! I have several pair. Haha.. they are the cleanest things in my garden tool box! I always hate to get them dirty. Thank you for the compliment. 🥰. I hope you are right about the broken Gaura. I looked at it last night and it was still upright and appeared to be well. Some plants amaze me at their determination to live… while others surprise me with their willingness to give up. So… we will see.🙏. Thank you for your comment ❤️❤️❤️
That should be a lovely combination. I just picked up serendipity allium and wizard of ahhs veronica at our Walmart for $2 each, a great price for Proven Winners. Planting today ahead of the cool down as well.
@@PeggyMills we really can get some great bargains this time of year if we don’t mind being patient and attentive to them in the meantime. I don’t have any of the Wizard of Ahhs…. I think it’s beautiful! I wonder if my Walmart has some on sale 😃 Thanks for your comment ❤️
@@letsgrow260 yes, check and see. I’m going to check another Walmart that’s close by. I actually enjoy pampering the clearance plants. Love the deals too as plants are so expensive now.
Sooo-Eeee! You had me laughing right out loud (literally) ! Speaking of pigs, are you familiar with the Pig Squeak plant (Bergenia) ? It is evergreen for me and absolutely indestructible. It says to plant in shade but I have some in a lot of sun and it does well there, too, although there is some leaf burn, by the peak of summer. It behaves very much like a hosta in that it has large, thick leaves that form a clump and slowly spreads, but in the Fall the leaves turn red. It sends up flower scapes with really pretty clusters of pink blooms. There is some winter damage (like heuchera) but the raggedy leaves can be cut off and lots of new ones grow in spring. P.W. has a relatively large variety called Miss Piggy. Other varieties are available as seed. What a nice idea to hide the sugar tip trunk protector with that airy Gaura. It will be so pretty swaying in the breeze.
@@patbryan602 I have seen the pig squeak on other gardening channels but don’t have any in my gardens. It would probably have to be a shade dweller here for sure with our heat and humidity. I think I lost several heuchera plants from either heat or too much rain earlier. It’s so weird how they have “sudden death” on me. They look great… then a week later they look dead. I wonder if I replaced them with pig squeak if that would do better? I am always up for new and different plants😃
@@letsgrow260 Heuchera survive total neglect for me...they won't grow to their full potential but they look happy so maybe Bergenia would also give you a hard time although the leaves are thick, almost leathery, compared to the delecate heuchera leaves. I haven't tried them from seed but I have a pack of seed ready, I haven't made up my mind if I want to give more of them my limited space.
Good job
