What is it like to have a neighbour that has absolutely no plants in their yard. I would want to run over there and make a flower bed in the middle of all that grass. Your yard is looking fabulous by the way.
I am in 7b in Virginia. We are about a month ahead of you, a guess, and my hosta, those that I’ve kept, are just gorgeous. Yes, the chartreuse hosta are breathtaking. I have a huge one in a very large pot, that is fully opened and shines even in the shade. Your garden has lovely specimens, and you have a lot to look forward to.
@@gardencrossings Yes. In part, it is because the ground never really freezes here. We put violas and pansies in, in October, and they live through the winter, and begin to thrive in about 50 degree or better. Again, because the ground doesn’t freeze, we have a huge head start. And, the sun has a different angle here. Hotter in the summer because of it. So, the growing season here is very long, and perennials have to be tough for the long summers, as do annuals because of the heat. But, the very lovely part is that I can begin cutting back the roses I have left in early April. I have flowers on my popcorn bush roses right now, so the spraying for deer has also begun. Starts early, ends late!
it's good you did this about frost damage, maybe that's why the tips of my globe alliums are yellow. first year growing them. Question for you, if you could answer something, how much cold, or what temps do we have to consider when planting new perennials in the garden. Existing ones are up and withstand the 30 degree weather, but what about those newly planted ones, I have held back on putting what I bought from Garden Crossings last week, all of them perennials, they are in the garage!
If you bought perennials from our outdoor garden center area they have been hardened off. You should be able to plant them outside. It really depends on the plant when it can get planted and if it has been hardened off.
Hi Heidi🌺 . Every thing looks amazing in your garden after frost and the hostas looks so pretty as the helleborus and quince flowers also the other plants . Heidi plant azalia under the deck in protect area and see how if it will grow well . Have a wonderful day .🌺🌻🌺
I'm waiting for my stormcloud from Proven winners..was just informed it'd be late😢 Yours is beautiful I had no idea the leaves were so dark!! I csnt wait!!!
They are on back order. They have nice tops but the roots got confused this year with our spring/winter every other day weather. We ship for Proven Winners so as soon as they are ready we will ship them.
Love your tours Heidi...I always LOVE the Incas but never got them because I was always afraid of losing them. But maybe I have to try. I took the chance on Agapanthus which at the time supposedly they were zone 6 and higher when we were a 5 and they have come up for me for about 3 years now. I wish Quince did not get so big. If there was one about the size of a Sugar Baby Foresythia or a Spirea I would totally have one. Especially the Peach colored ones🥰. Thanks for the tip on covering. I had one plant I was scared about frost and I did make the mistake and covered it with a plastic bag. I will know better next time not to use plastic.
...repeat after me, Heidi, "frih-til-AIR-ee-uh" 😂 ...that's the name of your "crown imperial" bulbs. It's amazing you guys haven't hadta mow yet! I've been mowing since the week before Easter [MD, 7a]. It hasn't been unusually warm. 🤷🏼♀️ Trimming down Miss Molly will be better, or you'll end up with blooms on the tippy-top new growth. Mine overwintered extremely well too. My favorite-est bed in your yard is the back hosta bed/border. It's already "go time", isn't it?! 👩🏼🌾💚 =^..^=
Yes mine do. But to be honest it took me a few years of finding the right location in my yard that they would come back in. They link a drier well drained soil.
That quince 🤩🤩🤩
I know! It is really showing off right now.

Some people are just better off with grass because they wouldn't know how to take care of a garden.

It is interesting how you are one zone ahead of us yet a months worth of growth.

Uhhh! I love this walk through! The hostas in tight twirls. So pretty. Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Always nice to start a morning with a lovely informative garden stroll.
Thanks for strolling through the garden with me.
That quince is so beautiful! Love that they have some that are thornless!
It is really nice.
Very informative video; you always do a great job of explaining the different flowers/plants in your garden! ❣️
Thanks so much 😊

Love this frittilaria, I have some in the garden for 30+ years!
These are new in the garden and are oh so pretty

It would be nice if there was a compact Quince. Eternal White gets 4' tall.
All my Bleeding Hearts got damaged 😢by the cold. A favorite of mine.
Mine too. So sad 😢
That is a bummer.
Hi Heidi! When do you pull out the old stems on the amsonia?
We usually trim them in the fall. This year the gardeners did not trim them back as far as they normally do. They should have been trimmed to 6"
A question for you. Does the storm cloud ansomia leaves turn yelllow in the fall?
No, not like the String Theory Amsonia.
Thanks for the information.
Muy buenos dias

We have mowed now, it needed it so bad.
I’m in zone 5b/6a and my lupines didn’t come back after the second year . Did yours come back annually ?
Yes mine do. But to be honest it took me a few years of finding the right location in my yard that they would come back in. They link a drier well drained soil.
Well, this confirms it: my brunnera and butterfly bush are not coming back.😢
What zone are you?
