I just planted my first perennial border beds and I've studied up on the care they need but watching you is so much better than written or oral directions; gives me greater confidence when I go out with my cutters. P.S. I chose a lot of my plants by watching your videos. One month ago I could barely mumble the word Heuchera; now, I'm so proud of myself that heuchera, heucherella and tiarella just roll off my tongue. You're the best!
Thank you so much. I love geranium, and I was a little traumatized when you cut them all back because I didn't think you could do that. i treat and handle mine so gently because I thought it would kill them. This was very informative.
I just got into gardening last year and I decided to plant some wild bergamot as its native to my area. It did grow a bit last year and as I live in a northern climate with snow, the plant died in the Winter. I learned that I should prune it to the ground after Winter. Since it was my first time, I was upset that all my hard work was going to be worthless and honestly it was hard to muster up the courage to cut them. Eventually I caved in and I did it. Now its Spring and the plant is THRIVING! It is spreading and growing really fast now and I am so happy I pruned it earlier.
Sharon, we only sell veggie seeds, and each of those come with instruction sheets. Sorry we could not be of help when it comes to growing flowering plants from seed.
I love watching all your projects. I would love to know what that tall plant is right at the back of the bed or right behind you when you where talking in the end.
I had to text Laura and ask since I couldn't recognize it either! She said it is helianthus heliathoides, an older variety that gets very tall. It has bright yellow flowers mid-summer through a hard frost.
Yes, you can trim them back more, but often when a plant grows taller than it says on the tag it might be stretching for light. Prune in fall only, after the first bloom for a reflush, if you prune in spring you will possibly be trimming off the future buds.
Hi I'm wondering what is the benefit of dead heading so much growth off the plant. The nodules by all those lower leaves are going to bud if you just take off the dead flower, I'm thinking of the Leucanthemum specifically but I had assumed it followed through for all the other plants too. Edit: You are doing everything so different to me. Who is right? So the Centranthus: I dead head the flowers just back to the next healthy set of leaves and do this continuously all summer. My Centranthus continue looking good and flowering beautifully, well into September. And I don't cut them back hard till October or next Spring. Hence no ugly gaps in the beds in the summer. Another edit: The evergreen Geraniums I cut down to 6"-ish in early June when they are still flowering but the main flush is past its best. They grow back and fully flower again and foliage looks good through to next year.
When deadheading you are only removing the tired bloom from the stem. That stem will never bloom again, and deadheading allows the plant to use it's energy to produce new stems with new blooms. We hope this helps.
@@ProvenWinnersTH-cam No it doesn't help, I know the reason for dead heading. This video shows you removing quite a big amount of stem that is covered with leaves, nodules and potential for a lot more flowers. That is specifically what I am asking about.
Planted shasta daisies in a large pot. They've grown lush with foliage but not to buds yet. It's getting cold winter coming how do I winterize just foliage to come back next spring?
May I ask, will cutting it back to the ground kill the plant since there’s no more leaves for photosynthesis? Or is it okay to do that because she says it’s still late summer?
@@roro1204 You would only do that when you are heading into winter. Personally I just let my perennials go and clean up anything that needs it in the spring...they really just take care of themselves for me.
Our perennial daisy plants are not invasive, so unfortunately we do not have experience with this....the only thing you can try is pulling the shoots of the plants you do not want as soon as they appear, then in spring laying down some type of weed barrier covered by soil.
For lavender you would lightly shear the plant once all blooming is finished. It will not get a new set of blooms...but should be blooming for a very long time!
I’m surprised you cut Jupiter’s Beards all the way to the ground because if I just remove the spent flowers, the plant keeps pumping new flowers so much so, they seem to flower non-stop until late fall.
Good morning James. Carpet of snow is an annual plant grown from seed--it is not a Proven Winners variety. We offer Snow Princess, and it is not grown from seed--it is a vegetatively produced plant which makes it more vigorous with a longer season that other varieties. It is hard for us to advise you on a plant that is so different from ours, and one we are not familiar with. Thank you for understanding, and for watching our videos online!
Good Morning: I love your videos, and I have learned a lot, but I am going to unsubscribe from getting notification from you and all the other gardening web sites that I have subscribed to. Ever since I clicked on get notifications, I have been getting all kinds of foul mouthed and threatening emails. I will try to keep up with your videos, but not through your notifications.I have put you in " MY FAVORITE LIST " so I can still watch your videos. Keep up the GREAT work Andy
Peter Mann I think all of us have no problem understanding...it’s just YOU. Plus I think some manners would help you in your life by saying PLEASE and not yell at someone that is only HELPING all of us “FOR GOD’s SAKE!!!” 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Love Garden Answer! (Laura) So happy that you are partnering with her. Watching her videos has encouraged me to look for more PW plants!
Thank you. Really enjoying your videos. We are developing a new garden and now have a plan on what our boarder will look like.
Thank you so much. I love geranium, and I was a little traumatized when you cut them all back because I didn't think you could do that. i treat and handle mine so gently because I thought it would kill them. This was very informative.

Thanks Laura, really appreciate all the tips you give me, I wish I could remember all. So much to learn....shish...💜🌱💜🤗🤗 🤗
Very helpful to me, as a 'beginner' gardener - thank you :)
Love your cat❤❤❤
Thanks, very informative, please do one on irrigation and drip lines, I'm so confused on what I should do, high sprinklers drip line etc.
How do I know the Catnip needs to be cut back because when it’s in full bloom, it’s pretty cool
Cute little supervisor you have there.
I’m sorry if you already answered this, but where did you get that garden clippings bag you’re using? Love it
Not sure if it is still available, but there was a foldable version on Amazon.
I love your advice
Thank you. I just planted daisies for the first time and didn't know what to do when the blooms faded.
Trim the older blooms off the plant one at a time and new blooms may appear.
@@ProvenWinnersTH-cam I’ve trimmed my daisies 2weeks ago , no blooms yet 🥲
@@maryahari4352 If they do rebloom it takes much longer than two weeks to see new buds or blooms.
I’ve overwintered my large pot of Daisies in a sunny room and they are thriving outdoors!
Thank you from Portugal!
Where can I purchase the fruit punch dianthus?? Just stunning!
Mantap kak ini videonya keren banget dan bunga nya cantik sekali😍

@@ProvenWinnersTH-cam Thank you for replying.
I have these and they are wonderful but so tall and look like a mess. Can I cut these back to make a tighter smaller bundle? Early summer?
Yes, you can trim them back more, but often when a plant grows taller than it says on the tag it might be stretching for light. Prune in fall only, after the first bloom for a reflush, if you prune in spring you will possibly be trimming off the future buds.

Laura is only talking about trimming the spent blooms from the plant to encourage new blooms to flush out.
@@ProvenWinnersTH-cam at 4:37 she trimmed it to the ground, just wondering if i can do that to my proven winners plants
@@roro1204 You would only do that when you are heading into winter. Personally I just let my perennials go and clean up anything that needs it in the spring...they really just take care of themselves for me.
how do i keep my daisies from taking over my garden?
Our perennial daisy plants are not invasive, so unfortunately we do not have experience with this....the only thing you can try is pulling the shoots of the plants you do not want as soon as they appear, then in spring laying down some type of weed barrier covered by soil.
After deadheading in late summer, is it ok to divide Shasta daisy because the flowerbed is overflowing?
Could you show a lavender pruning video?
For lavender you would lightly shear the plant once all blooming is finished. It will not get a new set of blooms...but should be blooming for a very long time!
Your so cool I enjoy your videos
After three years divide the shasa daisy plant into three or four plants this will make a bigger show like hers
Is that Dexter? 😟 Poor kitty. Came on this older video to remind myself with pruning, etc.
Thanks, very informative 🍀
Watch your eyes - LOL - as you wave those sheers around. Haha.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have a favorite mulch?
Isnt Gallardia an annual?
It depends on where you live, but yes, for many Gallardias are annuals.
Why my daisy S buds are not blooming
did you change the name of your channel?
No, this is the Proven Winners channel.
@@ProvenWinnersTH-cam sorry i thought she change her garden answer channel now i know now she is featured in your channel . 😇😇😇
I’m surprised you cut Jupiter’s Beards all the way to the ground because if I just remove the spent flowers, the plant keeps pumping new flowers so much so, they seem to flower non-stop until late fall.

For God sake ! talk slowly so we can have time to understand and understand how to do what you are doing?
