    My Munchkin Oak leaf fared well as so many other hydrangeas in my area (Memphis) were absolutely wrecked. Mine is the mid-level, with Sunshine Illicium behind. Thanks for inspiring us!

    SUGGESTION: right where Mr. Putnam is sitting at the beginning of the video, behind the munchkin oakleaf s, this would be a perfect spot for a Japanese Maple❤ - love the plant combo, fantastic job Jim and Steph!!

    Great combo of plants--thanks Jim and Stephany! I appreciate learning about the reasons for choosing the plants and why they work so well together. This is perfect as I am taking a break from planting sun-loving plants and planning how to organize my large shade bed. So far, I have just been planting in it with shrubs and flowers scattered about. Have planned a path, and now need to actually pay attention to what and where I am planting. Thank you!

    I’ve never seen a munchkin but I have so many regular oak leaf hydrangeas. They are my favorite.

    I have quite a bit of sloping and have lost a lot of soil. This gives me hope to put some soil back and plant to help slow down runoff. Thanks so much!😎✌🏻

    Excellent topic and presentation! What gorgeous textures and colors you put together! Please do more videos like this about plant combos. There are so many important topics about this but so few good videos like this one. Topic ideas: combos for sun vs shade vs partial shade vs dry areas; different color combos, leaf textures, plant sizes, evergreens w/ perennials; tips for combo layouts when viewed from one direction vs a 360 view bed; how to plan for combo growth; different combo design styles like cottage vs contemporary vs prairie vs modern vs Asian-influenced gardens; combos of small trees with understory shrubs. I'm always looking for / at these patterns when I watch your videos. Your explanations are so educational and inspiring - thank you Stephanie & Jim!

    Wow i have never even seen that everillo before! Shocked to hear you say how widely its used haha. Maybe i have seen it and never noticed. I suppose i will see it around now more that its been brought to my attention haha. But regardless, im glad you brought it up because its stunning! Im starting to really enjoy how grasses look and the gorgeous texture they bring, but i was just beginning to accept that i wouldnt be able to have any because they seem to always want full sun!

    Hi Jim. I enjoyed the video of that landscape when you & Steph planted everything into the ground. Appreciate that small update. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to show us more. Thank you!

    @Plants.and.cats5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love love love this video and that combo of plants! Would love to see more videos on plant combos. I have a bad habit of buying plants I like but when I put them together they can sometimes look a little “off” or even messy.

  • @marionallen2222
    @marionallen2222 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh I love it!!! I’m obsessed with that dark plummy leaf color I gotta get some more of those Carex they look just like Japanese forest grass that I can never find anywhere local LOVE oak leaf hydrangeas I wish I could find some of those kind too!!! Wonderful mix together!!! 💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤🌸🌺🪴🌿🌳🍀

    @timgarner1957 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great episode. I just bought carex wondering where to place em..now I know..lol..thanks for the idea..and yes the lime light hydrangeas offer beautiful colors and textures throughout the seasons!

  • @lisajelle714
    @lisajelle714 ปีที่แล้ว

    Enjoyed this video- combining plants in the landscape is a super helpful topic, hope to see more of these! I have two sweetbox here in central Ohio, zone 6A. They both really suffer in winter and take a while to leaf back out. Have never gotten the blooms and scent, which was a real selling point. I am moving them to the most protected spot in my landscape to see if they do better. If not, it’s off to the compost pile with them!

  • @CarolZone8A
    @CarolZone8A ปีที่แล้ว

    Great topic!! I’ve got to get some Munchkins - I have a very long 150 ft shade garden garden at the edge of woods that I’ve been developing for the last 2 1/2 years. Always thought I needed sun to garden but it is just beautiful. I throw some impatiens in the blank areas to make it interesting during the summer, but love looking for ways to mix the natural blue, green, chartreuse, and red colors of foliage.

    Excellent video and excellent suggestions. We lost 7 Loropetalum from "The December Freeze of 2022" and need to replace and spruce up our shaded bed. Thanks!

  • @katiekane5247
    @katiekane5247 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just by chance, a purple Setcresea I had protected under the porch is looking really nice behind my Caramel Huechera. It's a part shade but gets some afternoon sun. Not a combo I'd have thought of but need something there while we see if the Gardenia is coming back. I'd never used that in part shade but plan on trying different conditions for it. Would likely look good with the gold Carex too 🤔
    All the Mitchella I transplanted has done well, all in flower. It's such an under used southern native & it plays well with the Hosta, ferns & Hellebore. I needed a less aggressive ground cover as I have Trilliums & other natives there & Ajuga was just too vigorous there.
    Beautiful design Steph!

  • @rachelsgarden
    @rachelsgarden ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful! Excited to see more of these plant combinations. How many hours of sun does this area receive? All of them look great!

  • @mikeyfoofoo
    @mikeyfoofoo ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice design! One of those Hosta with the red stems would look good at eye level near that Heucherella. Autumn Ferns would work too. Also, there are dozens of Coleus that would make good temporary fillers until the perennials get bigger. Dwarf Korean Boxwoods might be a good choice too unless your worried about that fungus.

  • @susanbaker2796
    @susanbaker2796 ปีที่แล้ว

    This backyard! So great to see it with some growth. How about the front yard and the side yard on this job? Are you and Stephany pleased with the results?

  • @karenhinsley295

  • @SteveL2012
    @SteveL2012 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a stunning combination. I have been struggling with an area with the exact same aspect-part sunny and shady. I know and love all of these plants but together they sing. I might swap out the heucherella with tiarella “sugar and spice” because it has a nostalgic memory for me. Jim, do you think the tiarella will do okay in southern clay soil?

  • @lindaboothe957
    @lindaboothe957 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question…can I plant a 3 gal size copper tone distylium under a mature crepe mrytle without hurting the tree?

  • @NameTaken_86
    @NameTaken_86 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jim, heavy clay soil here. Could I put a green giant half way in a hole and mound up compost/soil to keep it from drowning?

  • @mrohde2067
    @mrohde2067 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I would love agapanthus in my shade mix , how does it do here in zone 7? Along with lady fern , foam flower and brunerra. Maybe that’s too many options ..too busy ? 😮
