Definitely re-try peony from root the sarah bernhardt for $11 is a steal for 3 roots, I just paid $50 for a plant that is maybe two roots. I’d suggest planting in a grow bag; nearly covering the roots, i mean barely you can cover them more in subsequent years; I started my Coral charm this way it took 3 years to get about 10-15 blooms. Plant in part sun I’m in 8a Atlanta and she gets sun until 1-2pm, I now have 4 varieties in the garden. My grow bag is now an established 5 gallon plant which would have cost $120+. They are so beautiful definitely trying again!
Excellent tips! Thank you so much!
Glad you chimed in with the grow bags, I'm in 8b/9a Texas and had no luck with peony roots. How moist should the soil be kept?
Same all my peony from Walmart didn’t make it last year in N.Tex. Gladiolus seemed to react to something in part shade near the house and seemed to abort and die down. They were interplanted with marigolds and lantanas which grew well. At the corner of house so I wonder if it was some construction reuse still in the ground or something else in that spot ground soil that got to them. I tried a Japanese camellia in that same exact spot the year before and it didn’t like it and died back so that spots my “hmmmm” spot at the moment although I do have the other plants growing there just fine.
I'm so ready for Spring! I have a new house, new empty yard with hills, shade, sun all the things!!!! I just bought 20 10 gallon grow bags from Amazon, I am so stinking ready to plant, plant, plant. I wish there was a way for us to share our garden pictures with each other on here.
That is awesome! You have a blank canvas!
My bleeding heart was the first plant I put in my shade garden. 10 years ago and comes back every year.
Yay! It’s such a unique and unique usual plant … I hope it works in my garden.
I have grown peonies and have had great results. The first year they did not bloom but the next they were beautiful. I transplanted them and they are sprouting right now. I live in Lewisville. Same zone as you. Astilbes need full shade I have some of those also. I love them. What has helped my plants is that I mixed old cow manure in the soil. If you can get your hands on some it will help out tremendously. Good luck and thank you for your videos.
Thanks for sharing! What varieties of peonies worked for you?
Here in Indiana- they were my grandma’s favorite. I plant them every year in her honor. 20+ years. I would always buy new rhizomes. For two years now I have been digging up and replanting for two years. They do great. Hope yours do well.
That is awesome!
Hi, I bought those bare root Eyringium last year from WalMart & they did great, I enjoyed them & looking forward to seeing them in the garden again , Ann from Ohio 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
Festival Maxima is a must have peony for any southern garden. They do take three years to bloom. Well worth the wait.
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Wow that was a haul. You are going to have a great shade garden this year how exciting
I hope so!
The lilies are so easy to grow. For the first time last year I had bunnies eat them. Will have to spray then as soon as they come up this year. 🐰
Darn, rabbits destroy so much!
I have bought these barefoot plants a couple of times over the years and had little to no luck with them. This year when I brought them home, I planted them all in small pots and put them in the greenhouse inside my garage with my seedling starts. All 12 hostas are doing great. Both clematis, hydrangeas and daliahs are up. The bare root strawberries have only 2 out of twenty showing leaves. None of the three ostrich ferns or echinacea are doing anything. Caladiums are just starting to come up.
Good to know! Sounds like all of the plants that like cooler temps are sprouting … might need a little more warmth before the other come along!
What I found to be growing peony why they do not grow, we are planting them too deep in the soil. Buried them No more than three inches in the soil. I planted bare roots last year and this year I do see them peeping out of the soil, so I am excited. I am in 7a zone in Tennessee. I dug up some old plants and reset them to the right depth and they are also coming up. Give them time to get established.
I might give them another try 🤔
Amanda thank you for all the information about the bulbs and root plants at Walmart. I definitely am going to try the gladiolus, astilbe, bleeding heart, echinacea, holly hocks and hostas. I have never grown a hostas from the roots. I have zabrinia in my garden it loves full sun and it comes back every year. It is the sister plant of holly hocks. It is just beautiful and I do not have any problems with it and I do not have to stake them. I have never tried them as a cut flower. I do have astilbe, echinacea and holly hocks growing in my garden, but of course I need more. Can you give me some tips for growing gladiolus? Can’t wait to see what you do with all the new plants.
Ooo, I’ll go look up that sister plant! Gladiolus are pretty simple … just plant them to the correct depth … I’ll have a video about them in a month or so!
Elephant ears love water. I have them on the west side of my house where the yard gets soggy and they thrive! They need a little protection from sun. I’m excited to pick up some glads later next week. Your shade garden is going to be so fun 🤩 So many things to look forward to this spring and summer!
Thanks for the tip! I have a corner of my yard that has shade and it always moist … maybe I’ll put some over there!
Okay…..going to Walmart today! I had a difficult time finding caladiums last year. Wish me luck! I appreciate all the hard work you do. Thanks, Amanda.
Good luck!!
Wow~ summertime color~ no we’re talking. I have so many Texas Natives so it will be nice to add annuals this year learn along with you. I have pots that I’ll be gathering up this weekend. 10 day forecast looks good. Getting BM7 on Saturday morning… Springtime 2024!😊
You have a plan!!! It’s going to be a fun spring in the garden!
Shade shade shade for Bleeding heart and Astilbes it might be sun for them in zone 4or 5. Bare root plants do very well for me. Hosta are very hard to kill 😜
❤️
I purchased those 2 hostas fro Walmart a several years ago. They came up fairly quickly and are now both about 2 feet wide.
That’s awesome!
I’ve had success with bare root Hostas. I got them from Lowe’s. They grew easily the first year but they were spectacular the 2nd and 3 years. I’m same county west of you.
Good to know! I’m not a fan of hostas but I see that they serve a purpose and would work in my shade garden … growing from bare root would be fun to try.
I can’t get the gladiolus to grow properly. I will watch and learn from you! I will run out and get some so I can follow your lead. Thank you for bringing us along.
Thanks for the info, I’m on a budget so even though i’m in zone 10 it helps to get others experience . I purchased those Hosta bulbs and it did take a bit but they are beautiful, mine are in pots rhe big one died back but the little one is still going -it’s outside under a planter on my balcony . I would but more maybe try them inside
I might give hosta bare root a try!
Good info on what will and will not grow in the heat of the south. Watching from middle Georgia!
Hello in Georgia!
good tips on how to select these bagged bulbs & roots especially when you can't really see them thru the green bag. I usually have better luck with them if I buy them when they first come in to avoid issues of them not being viable. I bought the HF Young clematis last week and it was a good healthy one. Look forward to when it blooms.
It has a beautiful bloom!
Here in PA, Zone 7A, I've planted elephant ear the past couple of years and they do take quite a long time to grow but they are worth the wait. Will be buying some Astilbe this year to start a small shade garden. Can't wait until our Wal-Mart and Aldi have their bulbs available. Looking forward to your future videos, so ready for Spring!!
Nice! I need to go check my Aldi’s as well!
I haven't had any luck with astilbes either. Bleeding hearts do well and they like a shady, damp area in my zone 5b garden. They should do fine in your new shade area. They do die back with the heat but return again in the spring. I gave up on hollyhocks because of the ugly rust. I love lilies, iris and peonies, roses in the garden. I also grow dahlias, glads but I must lift them in the fall. Peonies need chill time to do well. Some gardeners treat with ice cubes. Bonny
Interesting with the ice for peonies … I’ll have to look that up.
That's what Janey from Dig, Plant, Water Repeat did who lives in California at her first house.@@shesamadgardener
I will have to go check my Walmart out now. Lol
I went rack up on some stuff at Lowe's last week.
Hosta grow very good and multiply over time as well. So after about 2 or 3 years you can divided them .
Awesome, thanks for the info on the hostas!
I'm excited for spring. I think I'll try some of these this year.
Same! Can’t wait!
I bought hostas at Walmart and they came up in a few days and doing good zone 9B
Awesome!
I planted walmart eryingium bulbs 2 years ago. They have struggled, no blooms. Looks like they are coming up strong this year.
Hoping this is their year 💪
I've grown bare root hostas and they do well, but i had to put them in a container because something kept eating them when they were straight in the ground. I swear it was roly polys even though many people say they will not eat them, but they were all over the baby sprouts when I would come out in the morning and never saw anything else. That said, it was before I really got into gardening so I might be able to grow them in the ground now, or just go with already established plants. I love the lime green colors of hostas.
Good to know about growing them from bare root, thanks!
Slugs LOVE hostas. So do earwigs. I try not to use anything in my garden that’s not organic, but for my hostas, I use Sluggo Plus.
@@TrixieJFerguson good to know. I think i even have some it already.
Thanks for taking us shopping 😊 I have gladiolus they do well and come back every year I may consider lilies since I’ve haven’t tried them in the garden
Please do!
I had good success last year buying bare root hosta. I potted them up in spring, then put them
I’m the ground when they dried out too quick. They liked it in the ground, and we shall see if they survived the winter.
Hope they all come back!
I have some hostas planted years ago and don't remember any issues but not sure bare root or prepotted... they survive even with neglect but need shade...spread too
Nice!
I have Hosta bare root started them now in pots indoors and they are doing great.
Awesome!
I'm on the space coast of Florida and got a gladiolus mix which I planted 3 days ago. Also got a dahila only yesterday called Pacific Ocean (so pretty!) I've never grown any of these things before, so 🤞🤞 I hope you have success with all of yours this year ! 🏵
Pacific Ocean sounds beautiful! I’m going to go look it up!
I bought the bleeding hearts and noticed it said full sun. They will be going in part shade :D You were cracking me up with the dahlia failures LOL
So many dahlia failures 😂😂😂 Yeah, I was surprised by the full sun for the bleeding heart … I’ve never see that before!
@@shesamadgardener Are you going to wait till after last frost date to plant the bleeding hearts? I feel like they need to go ahead and get planted but I don't want to risk killing them...
Thank you for making these videos, it gives me in Zone 4 a preview of what I can look forward to (hopefully) soon in my area. 😊 I love bulbs and bare roots, for being such a cost effective way to try ALL THE THINGS, lol, to find what works, or not. No luck for me with any astilbe I've ever tried, all my shade is very DRY shade under mature trees, and they don't seem to care for it.
Agreed … these prices make it so much easier to try multiple things!
My deer loved, loved the Day Lilies. Had such hope. Movin’ on…
Deer salad!
Exactly! haha @@shesamadgardener
I tried caladiums and did not realize they do not come back. Bought bulk bag and only half sprouted. Loved clematis and grew on fence east side and flourished! I have a peony that planted years ago and continues to flourish even with recent years of neglect. Spread roots and started 2nd and 3rd plant in bed. They get lots of ants....dont like, and they don't like heavy rains and end up molting fast....I'm in Okla City. Day lilies planted in corner next to fence and then a couple other spots in part shade but also sun. They flourish and spread and hard to get rid of if plant in wrong place.
Yeah I’m not sure peonies and I are meant to be 😬
I planted the stained glass hosta from bare root in a south facing bed that only has morning sun and it grew well until about late April and then it fried in the heat. Came back the next year and it did the same, so I gave up. Fort Worth Zone 8
Yeah it seems like they need full shade in north Texas.
@@shesamadgardener absolutely!!!
I found growing hostas from bare root was easy and fast
Awesome, thanks for letting me know!
Hostas sprout and grow from bare root pretty quickly, but they are water hogs. They need a ton of water and LOTS of shade (almost no sun) in our hot Texas heat.
Good to know, thanks!
This Walmart had a better variety than the one in Rowlett. I’m going to check mine in Rockwall today. I’m looking for a different variety of elephant ears and day lilies.
I found some cool elephant ears at Costco if you are interested.
@@shesamadgardener Yes, I saw that video! I really like the set that came with the elephant ears and the caladiums that showed them planted in a container. That’s the type of elephant ears I want. Unfortunately I don’t have a Costco membership ☹️ but hopefully I can find them somewhere.
I'm about 4 hours south of you and the only peony variety I see sold at nurseries here is Shirley Temple. I believe the Itoh type peonies also do well here so, those might be something for you to try if you're peony determined like me! I have only tried the bare root thing from Lowe's, big fail. Will try the grow bag method from another commenter in the future.
I believe i also saw something about Maxima peony doing well in central Texas, but don't quote me.
Thanks for the info! Yeah I think you are right about the Itoh varieties.
I got a gardening book for Christmas that looks promising, 'Heirloom Gardening For The South'. Turns out it's written by a couple of Texas A&M people, so probably good advice for us. The book was on Amazon.
Hostas do very well from bare root. I live in the pnw and have grown quite a few of them from the costco bare root bags. The more water you give them, the faster they grow!
Awesome, thanks for letting me know … especially about the water!
I think I need those white caladiums too!!😅❤
They are so pretty!
Hostas are super easy to grow from bareroot! Def recommend. They def need shade in central texas, so mine def struggled since my whole lot is full sun😅
Awesome! I’m not a big fan of hostas but I might give them a try from bare root.
Would love to grow the Gladiolus. But it is confusing with the Sun/partial shade terms. I’m in Plano. Also am going to try the Astilbe. Love the Calla Lilies I have a Beautiful one that is a perennial but the summer heat fries it. Thank you for sharing all your information.
I plant my gladiolus in full sun!
@@shesamadgardener thank you. Where do you plant your Calla’s?
I think the reason why astilbe does well with our heat 6B is because it is a humid, disgusting heat + they are woodland leaf mold soil loving shady area plants. I believe you guys might only have one out of the 5 environmental requirements for it to thrive.
Good to know … I’m hoping I can recreate what they need in the shade garden but we will see.
❤😂zone 6..??when will mine arrive..excited
Hopefully soon!
My tulips are blooming here in Texas 9b!
Mine aren’t blooming but they are coming up!
I went last night to Home Depot and picked up the mix of gladiolus and Dutch iris, my Walmart hasn't gotten any in yet. The Dutch iris I picked up already has massive growth in the bag, would you recommend potting up and putting under grow lights? I don't want them to go bad and it's way too early in my zone to plant outside anytime soon.
They will be fine as long as the stay dry and have good air circulation… keep them away from light …. However if you decide to pot them up now you will have some early spring blooms inside!
@shesamadgardener so just keep them in the bag they came in? If I do pot them up, once they bloom inside can I plant them out afterwards?
I had a bunch of beautiful lilies, but the red lily beetles beat me. I pulled them all 2 summers ago. I cant keep up with those little boogers and nothing that I tried would take care of them,, I opted to pull them versus using a pesticide.
Totally understand … I’m very much survival of the fittest in my garden.
Peonies need winter vernalization to bloom and they need the root berely covered or they just grow leaves. My garden is half shady and my peony Sarah Bernheard only gets few hours of light but it blooms every other year for me like 2 big blooms. Peonies can take very hot springs summers and autumns but they need weeks below zero or around zero to set buds. My grandmother had massive peony with like 30 plus blooms and it took 40 C in our bulgarian summers like a trooper. It just went dormant faster. Mine in UK goes dormant Octomber in colder climate. Lilly of the valley will take lots of hot weather if they are in semi shade and kept well watered. My astilbe are amazing they bloom in tiny pots in semi shady garden but our climate is much wetter and claudy than zone 8 in USA. They do not like super hot or dry wrather. Hostas are very easy to grow from root and they keep growing fast. Unfortunately here is slug paradise snd they love hostas. I grow them high up on my window ledges in shade and they bloom.
So much great info and tips … thanks!
To be honest with Walmart you can probably get most of these varieties in not bad condition from their clearance plants as they change seasons. I got a bunch of bleeding hearts that way last year
Good to know, thanks!
Our Walmart has most of these; however, they are in the outside covered area, and we're still getting some night time temps in the 20s, so I probably won't be buying any there! Lowes was vey disappointing this year. Home Depot has the best selections, but nothing I really need so am purchasing a couple of specific lily varieties online. Bluestone has a pretty good selection of the tall hybrid lilies, so I'm ordering a couple of heirloom mum varieties and a few bulbs. I'm in zone 7B, N MS, and I get 3 years tops out of Astilbe, no matter how healthy they appeared the year before. They look good while growing and blooming, they just don't come back after a couple or three years. The dicentra needs even moisture and shade (yeah, I've killed one of those, too!). The Carolyn Whorton caladium is the strongest I've ever grown. I started out with one 3 inch plant several years ago, and they multiply (in a good way!). I dig my caladiums and store them in brown paper bags. For some reason, the white ones, no matter the variety, are a little weaker bulb and get smaller every year. Elephant ears come back for every year and is one of those plants I've consigned to a container b because they spread if I put them in ground. I was in Home Depot yesterday, and they've started getting a lot of color!
So much great info! Thank you!
Most of those items require a cold period, not the caladiums though. I'm in zone 7a and I don't dig up anything for winter. So them being outside will keep them from sprouting early in the bags. Plus, as long as your ground isn't frozen and you can still dig a hole you can still plant most of these items.
I don't remember the variety but I did get it at Walmart. The trick is not to bury the root too deep. It will take 2 to 3 years to bloom.
Let me know if you remember it!
@@shesamadgardener I actually got 2. Festiva Maxima and Sorbet.
Nice😊
Thanks 😊
I got begonias and the sea holly!!!
Yay!!!
Love hearing what doesn’t work for you as I’m even more of a survival of the fittest gardener. I have no patience to spend years babying clematis before it finally can survive in its own so all my clematis starts have never survived the first year regardless of where on the house I plant them. Lilies so far work for me. Not a lot of pest pressure in general because I never spray, have a lot of wasp nests in summer and encourage the wasps, hover flies and other pest predators to nest. For the pests that the wasps predate upon I’ve never had an issue with my garden. I just wish the wasps went for even more pest insects besides what they already predate upon. 😂
Yeah I don’t spray either … more out of laziness than anything else 😬
U said u are gonna start all those inside?
Yes, I like to start these bare roots inside in gallon containers … they grow and build stringer root systems before I plant the outside. But you can definitely plant directly outside and skip this step.
@@shesamadgardener that is such a great idea! I have seen people do that with dahlias but it never crossed my mind to do it with other plants too. I’m gonna try it this year with all the bulbs I just got from Costco! 😀
😊
👒👒👒
So upset bc my Walmart doesn’t have the 30 pack for $12 :/
Darn it!
kindly inform the avalibility of caladiums bulbs in markets or stores ...thanks for making beautiful videos .. appreciated from pakistan 😍
I usually get them from big box stores like Home Depot and Walmart.
@@shesamadgardener oky and whats the availibility season of caladium in stores ( september , october november or december ) in which month these will be available ??? thanks
Zone 9, south central Georgia, Walmart has their bulbs and bare roots out!! Purchased all their daylillies, and asiatic lollies and a few canna.
Yay!!! Spring is almost here!
Yeah the only thing that would probably grow in your area would be the Ito peonies it's mixture between your creepy and in your regular panty it cost a little more though but they're beautiful they have stronger stamps so they don't flop over they don't normally get the ants on them they're huge flowers yellow flowers beautiful they could be all different colors so try them they're just so pretty and I'm sure they can be in your area okay talk to you later bye thank you I'm the one that has 30 gardens in New Kensington Pennsylvania Ave 30 gardens at memorial Park in new ken and I just love it I've been doing it 20 years out there I know I was totally different than yours but they say that the Ethiopians can grow in your area should be in your area so look
Nice! Yes I remember you!
I planted canna lilles 2years ago and I now have them running out of my ears lol
Eeek!
I do too
There are some varieties of bleeding heart that do like full sun.
Good to know!
😊
