We must see your garden one of these days! Start a youtube channel... we'll follow :) And I bet that heat is incredible. We got so excited for a high of 60F yesterday. Broke out the short sleeves and shorts!
I am very partial to anemones, so I could not help looking at all your blue and white ones with big heart-eyes but all of your garden is simply gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing!
I started out with 2 plants and have divided them and spread them all over. Deer always eat my hosta and it is a great replacement. They do not like the fuzzy leaves.
Us, too! It’s a very Danish plant too.. in the way that you see them in everyone’s gardens ❤️. Super easy to grow and beautiful too. I can imagine the deer not liking those fuzzy leaves. Great to know!
Thank you for saying that! We've planned a few more based on seeds that we winter sowed -- showing that process from January through to now and then collecting the seeds later in the season :)
Hi. Loving your garden, and the beautiful flowers. I also like how you name the various plants. Have just watched the video where you are digging new beds. Thought you may be interested in Charles Dowding , who advocates a no dig approach to gardening. No dig is thought to be more beneficial to environment ie leaving carbon in the soil rather than the atmosphere. Also it is more beneficial to plants, and to soil health. It is also thought to cause less weeds as turning over the soil exposes dormant weed seeds. Also of course it is an easier way to create a new garden bed. Just a thought. Will continue to watch your lovely garden. Happy gardening. Adele.
I just looked him up, thanks to you! It's a wonderful approach -- and quite similar to how we garden at home. I'll have to look more into it for similarities... but so far, loving his approach! At work, I wonder how possible it could be... hmmm... as it's a large garden where people 'expect' things to happen quite quickly (public spaces are just like that sometimes). BUT totally worth watching and learning more. THANK you so very much for sharing! 🥰
@@richardcox6637 Thank you! Now I'm binge watching his videos. hahaha His technique is how we've made our garden at home -- now we know what to call it ;)
Love Brunnera but my soil is too heavy for them. I’m going to keep trying though since those dainty blue flowers are so beautiful. I had no idea they could take full sun! Will try in drier spots.
That's the only type of soil that they don't really love...but otherwise, super easy to grow! Like little forget-me-nots. Lars has a white variety at work, too... just not in our garden yet ;)
Hi…I planted some Jack Frost Brunnera in a new shade garden last week - it’s been very hot here in NY, so maybe that’s why I am having trouble with it - it’s been wilting. My soil is not the best - kind of clay-based but I added peat moss and starter fertilizer to it. I’ve been watering it once a day - twice if it’s been too hot. Any ideas?
It could very well be the heat! Brunnera prefers consistently moist soil, but clay soil can hold too much water, leading to root rot.. so it's good that you amended the soil. Improving clay soil with organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure in addition to peat moss, will enhance drainage and provide nutrients. Brunnera prefers shade to partial shade, so ensure the plants are not getting too much direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. Newly planted perennials take time to establish, and it's common for them to show signs of stress initially. With proper care, they should recover and adapt to their new environment. It won't (at least here) do much this season anyway... so as long as it establishes itself, it'll come back in the early spring and give you the pretty little flowers and beautiful foliage that you want from this plant :)
haha... it is! We keep digging them up and selling them... but my goodness, they are everywhere. This time of year, they are welcomed... but in a month, they'll just be in my way. haha
@@perennial-garden it could be my cat, she also munches on some of my plants like catmint so maybe she has taken a liking to my Jack Frost brunnera? I have 3 and 2 have been chewed on, I’ll buy more and try again as I adore this plant otherwise I’ll wait to get some green spice heuchera which I love also
Oh that sweet cat! It’s probably her… brunnera are usually pretty good at not being eaten by slugs or snails too badly. Altho there are exceptions to everything 😅. Hope the new ones work out for you 💚
I just got a letter from the plant police! Apparently this amazing medicinal plant, which is related to barrage is a crime here.😢 it is one of the few plants that the endangered wild bees use.

I love Brunnera and I have 5 varieties. I make sure they get that east morning sun and other filtered shade because that TX HEAT IS A SCORCHER!!🌞🔥

@@perennial-garden lol honestly 3 other you tube channel owners have told me the same thing. Lol and I dont do instagram/x/Facebook etc.
@@mapndo2337 Then it's officially a sign from Heaven... you need some form of social media 🥰. You have your first 2 followers/subscribers here.

Aren't they beautiful? We need to show them soon... and the other things that have come up since our last garden tour.
Another beautiful plant. I have "Jack Frost" and I love the little blue flowers.
Isn’t it tho?! And the leaves, too. It can easily overtake the garden - but Lars is good at dividing and keeping them under control.
Thank you so much for a wonderful video and thanks for so much great information and tips. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie.
Thank you both for watching! Hope you're enjoying some lovely spring weather at your end!
I love my Brunnera, I have it in my shady woodland border and would love to get more
We know how you feel, Nicki! The good thing about them is how easy they are to divide. You can easily have more with just a quick cut :)
Blue plants are so eye catching in the garden landscape. 💙
You're right! And these flower so early that it's nice to have that pop of color before everything else comes in.
vườn hoa nhỏ, với những bông hoa tím rất đẹp. tôi rất thích, cám ơn người bạn mới
You are so welcome! Your macadamia trees are so interesting, too. The nuts would be so expensive here.

Your garden is amazing! Thanks so much for this great info! Your "how to grow and care" video are soooo helpful! Please make more 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

@@perennial-garden i can't wait! 😍 Your garden is truly an inspiration! You guys made me make my own flower garden 🙈
@@istratepaula8812 Now THAT Is a wonderful thing to hear today! Thank you for letting us know 🥰
Thanks for sharing your garden. You have some beautiful plants.
Thank you for watching! It's all coming back to life these days :)

Why not, indeed? And I really don't know why, so I'll rectify that very soon 😊
A convert! woo hooooo. If you were near here, you could come and have a zillion of ours for free :) My goodness... we have plenty.

@@perennial-garden thank so much. Great advice! The plants are doing much better - except for one - which I’m watching and making sure it survives!
How does the foliage look when the flowers are gone?
When it stops flowering, the foliage stays. It’s an evergreen here. 💚
Sponsert by Brunnera👍👍😂😂
haha... it is! We keep digging them up and selling them... but my goodness, they are everywhere. This time of year, they are welcomed... but in a month, they'll just be in my way. haha
Mine have been eaten by something 😢I won’t put slug killer down so I’m not sure what to do
Oh no! So very sorry to hear that. Egg shells around plants works ok. Maybe that could work for you?

Oh no! Goodness... does it grow wild or anything... thinking on behalf of the bees.
