She has such a sincere Ora about her that I fell in love with last spring during the first outdreak of covid_19 while on furlough, and now all I can do is dream of this next garden season and prepare for better things to come.. She's such a great inspiration..
I love the container competitions. However, can we use other flowers than the superbells and tunics? They're lovely, but I would just like to see other plants such as celosia, ageratum , geraniums, dipadenia, fushias, zinnias. Thanks hon. Love ur shows
Hello beautiful. You look great after having your BEAUTIFUL Princess. Take care. I love, love all the flowers. They are GORGEOUS. God BLESS YOU, and your lovely familiy🙏🌺
Putting a request in early for MONTHLY LONG FORM GARDEN TOURS over the growing season. we know you don't like doing them unless everything's looking great but we love learning from all the various stages of what's happening in your garden. It doesn't matter if everything's in perfect condition it's helpful for us to see how things change from month to month over the season... and that includes all the tearing apart and construction you're going to be doing in the main space! It's inspirational for us.
I have a border of dianthus that provides color from spring until frost. When they start to look tired and spent I just go in and shear off the top 1-2” and in a couple weeks or so I get another flush of beautiful color. Love them.
Good to know! I have this odd little strip of dirt next to my deck and I thought Dianthus might be perfect, but I don't know much about them. I was going to give them a try this year.
I bought 3 of them last year and was so disappointed with the growth even though the color was gorgeous! Anxious to see what they do this spring/summer!
Beautiful options. I’d love to see some follow up videos on companion planting for some of the new varieties. Understanding how to really get that succession planting right would be helpful.
Resistant to deer, resistant to deer, resistant to deer.....what joy to hear from one who struggle with those cute but annoying pest! Thank you! You always give a plethora of information for each plant which is so much appreciated!!
Love the info on the new plants and that you give the zones! I see a kitty in the background monitoring the yard from the window sill! Those cats of yours make me smile!
No one describes plants like you do Laura! (well, Jack Barnwell is "stunning" too!) I want all of these new plants! (proud Michigan girl here loving PW plants!) You always make my day!
@@growwithlove568 I get distracted by his clapping of his hands. He can't contain his pure joy and excitement of anything that grows! I love his authentic enthusiasm and passion for his life's work and I love his smile too!
Lori D...from one Michigander to another, have you been to the Proven Winners Gardens in Carleton MI? It is on my must see list for this summer and it's only a half an hour away from where I live! Mackinac Island is about 5 hours. Maybe I should go for a perfecta?
@@donnaa3717 awww that’s a beautiful memory to have and to do that . My Grama (Mamaw) has been gone 36 yrs and I miss her , I learned my gardening from her .
You have no idea how much I needed this video. My husband and I, decided to redo our front yard in 2020. New front stoop, new retaining wall, new door and new HUGE flower beds! My desire in terms of gardening is to have a variety of ornamental grasses with a few small bushes (that stay green during the winter) and ground cover plants here and there. All of this keeping in mind that pollinators are my top priority. Thanks for this video!! And please do another one on ornamental grass!! ✨✨✨✨✨😘
I can’t wait until spring, now that my kids are older they don’t play in the backyard as much, we got rid of the trampoline, soooo I’m expanding the garden bed, there’s so much I want to get!
your enthusiasm is contagious!!! i've worked hard clearing out and cleaning up, so this year i get to plant and fill in!! i cannot wait!! i just need to be able to take a breath and do it slowly, lol, but oh my... i wrote these down although i may not be able to find some of them, but my brain is on fire with ideas now!! love it!!! thanks for the video!!
Good morning!!! I am loving your "new 2021" plant run down and I really like that you are telling that they attract pollinators/hummers!!! I'm slooooooowly working on making a pollinator/hummer garden and your info in a huge help!!
I planted lots of morning glories at our new place last summer. The hummers adored them! Hope they don't come back to bite me self-seeding! Did some cardinal vine too & saved their seeds. I have limited funds so I had to go cheap with seeds. Slowly working on more perennials for the birdies.
You have so much knowledge of plants! I moved to North Carolina from Texas, 10 years ago. I’m adding more plants to our Garden, mostly Native plants. There are a few on your list that are Native here. I know the Phlox and Day Lillies do well here. We also have some of the perennial Salvia in our yard. I hope to try some of the plants that we mentioned. A good part of our front and back yard is mostly shade. We need mostly plants for shade, or part sun. Very little of our yard is full sun. We have a pool that takes up a lot of room. There’s a flower bed around the pool that’s full sun. We like colorful flowers, like Hibiscus, around the pool. We have Indian Hawthorns around the pool, for shade. We have tall, Leland Cypress Trees around the fence. I also have many types of Vines, growing on the house and on Arbors.
Dianthus is not a showstopper but a real workhorse with beautiful foaliage and lovely blooms. Last year in my zone 7 garden it bloomed from March till the middle of December!
I’m going to have to take a ride this spring, summer. Walters Gardens grow fields are located near me and their just beautiful when everything is flowering, it’s breathtaking! Thanks Laura, as always you get me pumped for spring, my favorite time of year, everything is waking up and so fresh looking!💚🙃
I love the possibilities of some of these perennials, especially the Hibiscus! You are looking great, after just nine days of having your beautiful baby girl!
Congatulations on your sweet baby girl! I am super excited by the greenhouse you are building in March. My brother built his about two years ago. He lives right on the border of Washington State in Osoyoos, BC and has a lot of bug issues, including mold and mildew. I told him I would pass along tips you have keeping yours at bay. I love your program. A nice reprieve from our depressing Covid life.
This is just what I needed this morning! I keep trying different gardening site but I really don’t like silliness. You and Aaron are so good at what you do. I appreciate how you run your channels. Thank you! Redoing so many areas and need some perennials as I know I can’t work in my yard as much as when I was younger.
Thank you so much for this heads up! Ever since seeing this I’ve been frequenting my local garden centers and today just found 3 full grown proven winner’s heaven scent Jacob ladder plants in #2 containers for $12 each. FULL GROWN! I left with all they had. So thrilled! It’s beautiful and smells amazing!
What a awesome variety of plants. Wow! I want some of everything. 😃😄😁!! Now I just have to decide whitch ones I really want to plant. Geezzz! This is going to be really hard. TYFS! Stay safe & God bless. Some truly beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing & showing us these plants.
Good morning! Good to see you back with my morning coffee. Hope everyone is doing well and Samantha is letting you get some sleep. Looking forward to planting season. I need to sit down and start planning so I can order the plants I want. Love some of these new ones.
I think that it's really important that we focus on pollinator friendly plants now more than ever because of the kind of habitat loss they're facing. I'm so glad to see you making these videos that focus on all aspects of gardening. 🐝🦋
I literally went 'oooooooo' when the french vanilla hibiscus popped up. Definitely going to have to contact the garden centers around here and see if anyone can order those in.
... I am a "salvia freak"! You can't go wrong with this plant! It grows on literal neglect. It takes the heat, drought, and humidity but still gives back with beautiful blooms and, as Laura said, the pollinators adore it - - well into cold weather. I always have a few sluggish bumblebees clinging to errant blooms well into November! 🌸🐝 Cindy in Maryland Zone 6 =^..^=
@@Bunny-rh1yy I'm a native Maryland-er, and I do not remember hot summers of my childhood like the ones we've had in the last 5-7 years! The humidity has been unreal! I'm going to chalk it up to getting old, cuz I can't take it! Mercy! 😌😓😧 (...and I am an avid gardener!) =^..^=
Stayed awake all night planning my garden. Already ordered from PW and hope local garden stores will fill in holes. So happy when a lady walked by today and said I inspired her to garden...thank you Laura for getting me going😍
Laura... you are amazing! I have never seen anyone bounce back so quickly after having a baby. You really look great! Such an inspiration for other new moms. So happy you are back! Ben and Samantha are drop dead gorgeous!😉
Finally understanding perennials and I'm going nuttzo at the store to get my hands on any variety that I want to use in my garden. Love the channel. the information it helps so much, Plus I get to watch my favorite Gardner almost everyday. Gives me the Happy's and congratulations on your new baby! God is good.
I live on the coastline of Southern California now and although I love your channel, and subscribe, I can’t use most of the foliage you show. I definitely appreciate your show since my Mother was a Botanist and we lived in New York at the time so it brings back nostalgic memories..... you rock girl!
Thank you for giving so much information about these new perennials. My plants need to be shade lovers and deer 🦌 resistant and you addressed these concerns in this video. It was a beautiful assortment of plants.
Hey Laura, loved the rundown of new plants. Here is an idea. Instead of a moon/white garden where you had planned it, do bold reds and jewel toned plants. Out of your comfort zone and the opposite of a moon garden.
Laura love hearing about plants and flowers ,I’m so ready for spring . I noticed Russell isn’t so protective of you since you had the baby ❤️. I have snow here in Mi. And they say more coming 👎.Have a great day.☃️☃️
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Your plant knowledge is to be admired. Now....to get my hands on some of these beauties! Thankyou for a foregleam of SPRING. Still far off up here in Clearwater B.C.
Thanks so much for your videos.i am a new beginner in perennials I have been planting nothing but annual flowers all my life but like I said I want to learn the varieties of perennials from now on And I took notes from your two videos I feel I have leaned a lot now I have to buy them to put them in my garden. 😊 🙏
Good Morning Laura! It's going to be an exciting year in your gardens. I am looking forward to seeing all of the new projects and the landscaping! I'm especially excited about the beautiful new Hartley Greenhouse!
Very helpful. So many of the flowers you mentioned were once I shared from my mother that I didn’t have names for. I’m moving my garden this year too and have so many ideas fighting for attention in my head...
Hello Laura! You are looking great after having a new baby. Your energy level is amazing. You really love plants and your passion shows up any time you talk about plants. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless!
Anytime I hear "deer resistant", perks up my ears. The deer come right up to our house to snack on our plants. If you could do a video specifically on deer resistant plants that would be great!
I am also interested in deer resistant plants. They wipe out my veggies every year. So anything that I could plant around the vegetables that would deter the deer from lunching in my raised beds would be appreciated.
SO excited for spring. Can’t wait to make things beautiful. Thanks for the info. Did anyone else get distracted, laughing at Russell grooming and pulling out his fur behind her? LOL Silly kitty!
I’m with you on the Dianthus ! My mom used to grow them in Pa. and sheared them off after the first flush of blooms were over buds and all and got a second flush out of them but I also remember them having some die out . I don’t attempt them here in Mo. And Baptista is one of my favorite plants the seed heads after blooming stay on as interest as well as the lovely leaves .
Yeah, I had dianthus left here from previous owners. They always looked messy, but I kind of tolerated them because I hate to pull things out even if I don't completely love them. However, that changed after I found Laura...ripped them out a couple years ago.😊 They do give great color but I don't want to deal with them.
About the Dianthus..... I have several of them and I really love them. They surprise me every year when they come blazing back. My advice on pruning them back is just make yourself a cup of chamomile tea and relax! Get your Zen on ! It isn't surgery, and if you do loose a bud or two they will make more. They really give you a lot in terms of color and texture , and are so worth it.
Yes!! For me I also get excited for plants. We get a lot of rain here in Vancouver Wa and I grow in pots in my small space. I like how you give great detail on each plant so thank you for that. Last year I got a regular visitors, a hummingbird, so I'm wanting to do more to keep them or it coming back. As well as honey bee's.
There is “full sun” and then there is “full afternoon sun in Northwest Arkansas”! I find it very hard to find annuals or perennials that can handle our afternoon sun, which is pretty much my entire garden! I’m always glad when you suggest something that can handle a lot of sun.
I can't wait to get my hands on the French vanilla and the Spinderella! Thanks for another list of new Proven Winners plants for this season as well as all those links so we can get more info on them! Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate these into your beds.
I hybridize Daylilys so they are definitely one of the top flowers in my garden! I grow over 500 cultivars and have several thousand seedlings. You would be amazed at all of the different forms, colors and patterns they come in!
I am so excited spring is here, Lots of new things going up on my property too. I just Love your channel. You are my go to girl for new flower and plant ideas and lanscaping arrangement ideas. Awesome video. I'm going to look for some of these I do not have. Thank you!
Thank you for introducing us to these new plants. I'm already excited for spring time! I'm also really excited for yall and all the new projects you've got going. Can't wait to see it all.
I absolutely love the hardy hibiscus. I bought five of the dwarf version last year. The swirl, the summerific berry awesome, and a couple more I can't remember one is white with a magenta center. Congrats on baby SG and happy to see new flowers. can't wait to see what y'all do this season. We have big plans for raised beds and a veggie garden this year in the backyard. Thanks for your inspiration.
Love 💓 the phlox colors. So many options for this year. Very exciting but we still have snow ❄️ and more is coming to Michigan. Dreaming about spring gets me through the cold winter. Russell is doing his thing, doesn't need to sit right next to mom. Stay safe.
New plants are always exciting! I am so anxious for warm weather and the ground to thaw! Looking forward to watching your property evolve , change can be fun! 😁👍💕
So impressed that all or almost all are quite hardy. As for dianthus, I do shear when a number of flowers are spent. I do shear off buds but the foliage is so great I don’t mind. I grow these only in a raised stone garden where they happily reseed in the nooks and crannies.
What a comprehensive presentation, thank you! Have my list ready to order. I, too, have had the same experience with dianthus as you. Do let your baptisia form seed pods. They are pretty, almost black, look great in dried arrangements. They sound nice when shaken, as well.
Beautiful perennial flowers, I can’t wait to look for some of these for my gardens. Its gonna a good growing year, I’m looking forward to getting started. Thanks for all the information 😍👍🏻
Hiya Laura and Aaron , could it be possible to do a Heuchera clean up video? I have quite a few but I’m not sure how to tidy them up. I just dead head them and take off the dead leaves, are you suppose to do anything else to them? I fell in love with them after watching your vids and what you do with them. Thank you for being a big inspiration 💜
Really getting anxious to see some new growth. Today I am going to try and divide some grasses and move some plants since it's not supposed to rain today (western Washington). Great video and very inspirational!
I had Firewitch Dianthus for years, and they did very well, even though the ants tried to bury them. I have very sandy, acidic soil in northern Indiana. I got rid of the ants by sprinkling compost in the plant area and I'd let them go to seed and sprinkled the seeds within the plant every year. They probably would have died out if I hadn't done that. They mysteriously died out 2 years ago when the flowers didn't seed up. Maybe a decrease in pollinators? I think I'd love to get the Jacob's Ladder plant, might be pretty with my double flowering orange poppies, sounds like they might bloom at the same time. You listed so many choices! I have a lot of dry shade and deer, so the struggle is real to keep plants looking like eye candy and not deer candy.
Thank you for this list! And, imagine my excitement when I see all of these are for my zone 4! I always get sad when I see a new plant featured here that I want and find out its for zone 5 and up! I would never dare zone push in Minnesota lol. I want every single one of these.
Leaf structure is really important in the shade. When I had limited full sun, I craved it. Now that I have lots of full sun, I'm more inclined to concentrate on my part sun areas, go figure! If I had unlimited funds, I'd go crazy on my full sun slope to the road though. It's just a little too steep to keep mowed. There's lots of natives there, for now, I'll encourage them & try to keep the blackberry & honeysuckle restrained. It's ALWAYS a process when you garden!
Good morning Laura. Love seeing this in the early morning. You make my unemployed mornings a lot more tolerable..
Same for me! She is such a day brightener no matter the content❤️

i feel like my house has a blinking sign that says, deer are welcome to eat here
I am also interested in deer resistant plants. They wipe out my veggies every year. So anything that I could plant around the vegetables that would deter the deer from lunching in my raised beds would be appreciated.
SO excited for spring. Can’t wait to make things beautiful. Thanks for the info.
Did anyone else get distracted, laughing at Russell grooming and pulling out his fur behind her? LOL Silly kitty!
Thank you for showcasing so many deer resistant plants. I had no idea I had so many plant possibilities for a beautiful garden.
Love all the flowers! And thank you shade plants suggestions.
I’m with you on the Dianthus ! My mom used to grow them in Pa. and sheared them off after the first flush of blooms were over buds and all and got a second flush out of them but I also remember them having some die out . I don’t attempt them here in Mo. And Baptista is one of my favorite plants the seed heads after blooming stay on as interest as well as the lovely leaves .
Yeah, I had dianthus left here from previous owners. They always looked messy, but I kind of tolerated them because I hate to pull things out even if I don't completely love them. However, that changed after I found Laura...ripped them out a couple years ago.😊 They do give great color but I don't want to deal with them.
I cant wait until the greenhouses open here!
Lots of beautiful plants to look forward to this year. Great Video as always. 💚💚❤️❤️🌿🌿❤️❤️💚💚
About the Dianthus..... I have several of them and I really love them. They surprise me every year when they come blazing back.
My advice on pruning them back is just make yourself a cup of chamomile tea and relax! Get your Zen on ! It isn't surgery, and if you do loose a bud or two they will make more. They really give you a lot in terms of color and texture , and are so worth it.
Yes!! For me I also get excited for plants. We get a lot of rain here in Vancouver Wa and I grow in pots in my small space. I like how you give great detail on each plant so thank you for that. Last year I got a regular visitors, a hummingbird, so I'm wanting to do more to keep them or it coming back. As well as honey bee's.
There is “full sun” and then there is “full afternoon sun in Northwest Arkansas”! I find it very hard to find annuals or perennials that can handle our afternoon sun, which is pretty much my entire garden! I’m always glad when you suggest something that can handle a lot of sun.
I can't wait to get my hands on the French vanilla and the Spinderella! Thanks for another list of new Proven Winners plants for this season as well as all those links so we can get more info on them! Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate these into your beds.
Yes ! On the dianthus ... I love their look but the dead heading and blooming .... just a struggle. Great video !!🌸💜🌸
I love the hibiscus and daylilies! The new colors are beautiful!
Morning Laura!!! You’re getting me excited for spring
I hybridize Daylilys so they are definitely one of the top flowers in my garden! I grow over 500 cultivars and have several thousand seedlings. You would be amazed at all of the different forms, colors and patterns they come in!
I am so excited spring is here, Lots of new things going up on my property too. I just Love your channel. You are my go to girl for new flower and plant ideas and lanscaping arrangement ideas. Awesome video. I'm going to look for some of these I do not have. Thank you!
Thank you for introducing us to these new plants. I'm already excited for spring time! I'm also really excited for yall and all the new projects you've got going. Can't wait to see it all.
All those purple and blue flowers! 💜💙
I absolutely love the hardy hibiscus. I bought five of the dwarf version last year. The swirl, the summerific berry awesome, and a couple more I can't remember one is white with a magenta center. Congrats on baby SG and happy to see new flowers. can't wait to see what y'all do this season. We have big plans for raised beds and a veggie garden this year in the backyard. Thanks for your inspiration.
Love 💓 the phlox colors. So many options for this year. Very exciting but we still have snow ❄️ and more is coming to Michigan. Dreaming about spring gets me through the cold winter. Russell is doing his thing, doesn't need to sit right next to mom. Stay safe.
New plants are always exciting! I am so anxious for warm weather and the ground to thaw! Looking forward to watching your property evolve , change can be fun! 😁👍💕
MAN, I promised myself I WAS NOT ordering anymore seeds...then here you are.!
I really want a flower garden this year... love those Lavanders.
So impressed that all or almost all are quite hardy. As for dianthus, I do shear when a number of flowers are spent. I do shear off buds but the foliage is so great I don’t mind. I grow these only in a raised stone garden where they happily reseed in the nooks and crannies.
Always watching your video s and I love flowers and plants
love that russel is just chillin in the window
What a comprehensive presentation, thank you! Have my list ready to order. I, too, have had the same experience with dianthus as you. Do let your baptisia form seed pods. They are pretty, almost black, look great in dried arrangements. They sound nice when shaken, as well.
Beautiful perennial flowers, I can’t wait to look for some of these for my gardens. Its gonna a good growing year, I’m looking forward to getting started. Thanks for all the information 😍👍🏻
Hiya Laura and Aaron , could it be possible to do a Heuchera clean up video? I have quite a few but I’m not sure how to tidy them up. I just dead head them and take off the dead leaves, are you suppose to do anything else to them? I fell in love with them after watching your vids and what you do with them. Thank you for being a big inspiration 💜
All these beautiful perennials are getting me so excited for spring!!
Good for you for finally looking out for pollenators - you'll get extra points when you put in a "natives" area
I love the spindlarellas (sp). They look like the spinning skirts of the beautiful spanish dancer's ☺️
So excited for spring to see all the changes.
Your cat pulling out fur balls behind you is cracking me up!!!:)
You inspire me to put together my beautiful flower n plant pots
Really getting anxious to see some new growth. Today I am going to try and divide some grasses and move some plants since it's not supposed to rain today (western Washington). Great video and very inspirational!
Better to move plants when it is going to rain. Good luck I'm sure they will be fine.
So excited to see all the changes in your gardens this year!
I had Firewitch Dianthus for years, and they did very well, even though the ants tried to bury them. I have very sandy, acidic soil in northern Indiana. I got rid of the ants by sprinkling compost in the plant area and I'd let them go to seed and sprinkled the seeds within the plant every year. They probably would have died out if I hadn't done that. They mysteriously died out 2 years ago when the flowers didn't seed up. Maybe a decrease in pollinators?
I think I'd love to get the Jacob's Ladder plant, might be pretty with my double flowering orange poppies, sounds like they might bloom at the same time. You listed so many choices! I have a lot of dry shade and deer, so the struggle is real to keep plants looking like eye candy and not deer candy.
A bird blind / wildlife area would be awesome !
Good morning ,Laura love all this new perennials. My garden is mostly shaded,would like to see a list for this areas
Mine too. The garden area faces north and gets shaded by the house late morning into the afternoon.
How exciting! I'm ready to get back to the garden with new colors. Thanks! 🌺🌸🌼
I have 4 varieties of oregano in my garden. 2 ornamentals and 2 culinary. One of my favorite pollinator plants. I gotta make room for this one now!
Laura! You always get me excited for planting new things in my garden!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Laura, very inspiring and exciting. So looking forward for spring to garden.🙏
Thank you for this list! And, imagine my excitement when I see all of these are for my zone 4! I always get sad when I see a new plant featured here that I want and find out its for zone 5 and up!
I would never dare zone push in Minnesota lol.
I want every single one of these.
Me too in Alaska!!
Just now planting here. I'm going to check these out. I have raised beds that are both floral and vegetable.
Leaf structure is really important in the shade. When I had limited full sun, I craved it. Now that I have lots of full sun, I'm more inclined to concentrate on my part sun areas, go figure!
If I had unlimited funds, I'd go crazy on my full sun slope to the road though. It's just a little too steep to keep mowed. There's lots of natives there, for now, I'll encourage them & try to keep the blackberry & honeysuckle restrained. It's ALWAYS a process when you garden!
Great information. Thanks for providing the explanations of all the plants. So helpful.
