I am wondering 🤔 there are certain plants that thrive in Michigan for no other reason than the love for dry/quick draining, sandy soil. For example, blueberry, butterfly bush, caryopteris, sedum. I cannot grow these things in my heavy, clay soil no matter how hard I try. I wonder if that could be the story with this plant for you @itsastckup?
God morning Heidi 🌺. These amazing flowers make the garden looks charming . I love all these pretty plants I have some from them in my garden and I will get the other plants .Have awonderful day .🌻🌺🌻
Приятная женщина, очень хорошо понимаю английский, так как у вас четкое произношение ❤️ очень красивый сад, я посмотрела уже несколько видео. Спасибо 🤗🦋🥰
So beautiful! Heidi, are the coneflower seeds sterile, or will they seed around? I have an area where I would like them to reseed or I will reseed them there. Thank you
In case they don’t answer, often those cute named ones are hybrids and so the seeds are viable but the new plants you grow from that seed is not true to type. If you get a variety that says it’s “OP” or open pollinated then the seeds would be true to type, meaning the baby plants would have the same look & characteristics of the mother plant. You could grow your own open pollinated echinacea varieties from a seed company online just make sure it says open pollinated for your variety.
@@jacquelineguzman174 Echinacea is one of those flowers were you should deadhead the old blooms, meaning prune them off, during the entire blooming season. That way the plant doesn't waste energy in seed production and continues to produces more flowers. Plants want to spread so they want to make a bunch of seed. If you keep pruning off the spent flowers then they keep making new flowers. If instead you do not deadhead and just leave all the blooms to dry out and go to seed then the plant figures it's done it's job and can rest now. Make sense? Everyone's echinacea blooms would turn black if they didn't deadhead along the way. I just leave the final blooms of the season just before frost for the birds to get the seed over the winter, but otherwise I prune throughout summer & fall. That way you can dry those blooms yourself away from the plant and save for seed or use the old dry flower heads in a medicinal tea. I wouldn't save the hybrid varieties for seed, only an open pollinated variety, but any old spent bloom is OK for tea.
Peachie's pick has always been a winner in my garden. I love that it blooms later in the season.
I’ve had peachies pick for 3 years in my garden and let me tell you, it’s been a dud all 3 years. Flowers 2 weeks max just here and there

Yes it is great!
Interesting. I wonder if you try moving it to a different spot in your garden.
Thank you for the closeups of the flowers.
You are welcome
It’s so hard to choose, they all so beautiful flowers 😍. But this is the first time I see Stokesia flower . I love it 🥰. Thank you for sharing 🤗.
You are welcome. Alot of people are commenting on that plant.

The garden has such cool color right now.
I have two variegated heliopsis that have been blooming nonstop for months! I love them so much♥
Aren't they a great plant!?
So beautiful, I loved the “visitors “
They are fun to have around now and then. But the mess....
So many options, so many decisions!!!!
I am glad you are able to enjoy the options.
Wow, you have lots of late season color! I need to up my autumn garden game and you just gave me some ideas for great plants, thanks Heidi
I am glad to share inspiration.
Wow so beautiful love them all so colorful 😊👍❤️🙏
Thank you for watching ❤
Garden looks great as always, Stokes aster was particularly interesting... thanks.
They are such an under utilized plant. But oh so cool!
Even better in person
Thanks for visiting us.

My, oh my! So beautiful! I have the millenium allium. They’re my new favorite. When can I divide them to get more plants?
You can divide them in the spring
Love the perennial video! ….The chartreuse mounded plants on the border at the 6:00 mark in the video . What are those? They are gorgeous l🤩
Yes this is my question too!
Yes I was about to ask the same! I need them 😂
OK my guess is lemon coral sedum....but just a guess.
@@JWHealing I went googling that and it also brought up a “mini saffron barberry”? it’s hard to tell from afar for sure lol
That is Lemon Coral Sedum, An annual
What variety of hydrangea are those behind the Alliums? Everything is so pretty.
That is Limelight Prime
Hi Heidi! Thank you for the wonderful tour! Please tell me, what is the dark leafed, magenta/red plant at the base of the Stokes Aster? Thank you 😊

Love the stokesia! I've grown them for several years, but they're not as floriferous as yours. What's your secret?
It could be the variety that we have. Peachies Pick

The Sombreros are seed varieties. Usually the seedlings will be pink in color. The 'mother plant' remains the color that was purchased.
Idk why my echinacea don’t
Last in my garden until fall. They turn black around this time. It’s so frustrating. Zone 7a
You mean the blooms turn black or the whole plant? Do you deadhead?

I believe it. They are just starting to get to the end right now.
