Another gardening benefit I've derived from your channel is the dense planting of various things, along with the shading of roots and competition, to produce vigorous growth. I'm looking forward to applying this concept to my garden beds.
Me too, that has been a valuable lesson, because I was trying to space as directed on the tags, I think my plants suffered more in the heat and drought
I agree totally. Most of our beds are so thickly planted that weeds don't have a chance to grow. Or at least you can't see them 😅 and shading the roots really does work. I have a Miss Scarlett illicium that gets more sun in the midsummer than is recommended, but it's doing great with no burn just because the roots are shaded.
I’ve never really been interested in shrubs and foundation plants. You know why? Because I always see them pruned and shaped until they all look indistinguishable from one another. What I love about your garden is you let the plant be a plant. Show its characteristics. You still prune but you’re not shaping everything into little balls and hedges. I never knew I liked lorapetalum for example until watching your videos. Never knew they could be so beautiful and that they bloomed! All the ones I see? Balls and hedges. Zzzzz. Love your approach to gardening.
BTW We went with the bee balm Purple Rooster - this plant is more compact, excellent mildew resistance (PM-free for us in New England) and a much friendlier habit (a recommendation from Mt Cuba) we leave the plants up for our goldfinches
At 9:23 there is a small green shrub with a neat growth habit between the purple loropetalum and cousin it. Did I miss the name? These detailed walkthroughs sure are adding plants to my wishlist. 😁Thank you!
Wonderful texture. That redbud is something else!

Thank you, Jim, Steph! 😊
Delta Fusion is one of my favorites! I LOVE dark foliage plants & chartreuse plants playing off one another.
The use of foliage colors makes everything look so wonderful!
Thank you Jim and Stephany. 🌺💚🙃

Hi Jim and Stephanie. Everything is so lush and BEAUTIFUL. Thank you again for sharing another great video 😊
Fabulous!!! Thank you so much for sharing this..... 💜🥰😘
There’s a variegated Joe Pye weed too that looks pretty interesting! Saw it in the garden center this summer.
Happy gardening ❤😅🙏.
That's beautiful Jim!😊
Even here in MI by this time in the season peonies usually have powdery mildew quite bad

Beautiful garden. Do you get butterflies in the butterfly house? 🤔
10:00 did your neighbor have their shed painted? ❤
I have the same tran but potted taht was dying and boy is it resilient

It's a new Boxwood called lucky charm. Footage wasn't great so I cut it out
Thanks! Looks perfect for our yard. Hopefully I can locate some next spring. 🙂
Jim,
I saw a lot of Joe Pye Weed @ the Topiary garden ya'all toured. I was wondering, is it easy to divide?
Thank you. 😊
I've almost lost interest in gardening after our third summer of "extreme" drought. We received 2 rains, both in August.
Is it ok to plant Coral bark japanese maple and Ruby falls redbud in full sun? Cary, North Carolina.

2:36 my amaryllis foliage has that same weird color, will it recover? Zone 8a Milton FL. (Full Sun Flower Bed) enjoying all the tour segments.
My amaryllis foliage is the same color. I don't think it's abnormal. By the way, could be a typo but Milton, FL where I live too is now in zone 9a.
I like a little bit of clown college, but this middle section is too much for me! 😂
