I love your enthusiasm for pollinators, birds and other wildlife!
Rockin' Blue Suede Shoes salvia has been really strong this year and a hummingbird favorite.
Rockin' Playin' the Blues Salvia was a winner for me. It has grown huge and stays covered in bees!
I have a lot more space & due to health issues, I wasn't as meticulous this last year. I've been rewarded with some new insights on self seeding. My tall Zinnias have succession planted themselves & remain good looking with flowers still coming. The jewel series pink Salvia looks almost peach this year & is coming up all over. That's fine as it goes with everything. I've got violas coming up under my New Guinea Impatiens so maybe I won't have to buy as many fall plants either! This year taught me I can still have lots of flowers & not have to buy or install them if I can accept the lack of control over timing & placement. Maybe the toughest garden lesson learned!
Hi Jim, enjoyed that. Here in Illinois I grow a lot of these annuals but not familiar with the African basil. BTW, pass along to Steph that she does wonderful work at the camera. Slow pans over that aren't head spinners and great focus on plants. Take care :)
I love trailing nasturtium. Four o'clocks and cuphea. I am in W. Oregon zone 8b. Soooooooo, many overwinter. I'm trying mashua this year. They flower in September. I am hopeful they get to that stage.
I watch nearly every video you post, and my landscape has transformed over the past year. Our house had a Bermuda lawn and rose bushes across the front, and they were plagued with mildew and only looked nice a few months of the year. I've been installing a clown college garden, lol, and it has been providing me with so much joy...our lot is roughly 8/10 of an acre at the end of a neighborhood cul-de-sac and we're about to clear the back 4/10 and I can't wait to play with that space. I went to Auburn University prior to med school and wish I had studied landscape architecture instead...thanks for inspiring me.
WAR EAGLE!!!
Hold on, let me get my notebook! 🌸🌼🏵️ Okay, now that I've written that down - my top performers were purslane and bicolor french marigolds. All the purslane was grown from trimmings when I was planting and grooming my neighbor's containers for her.
I have those Italian White sunflowers against my back fence and they are glorious! 🤩 This is my first year planting them, and I didn’t realize what a goldfinch magnet they’d be until last week. I love them!
I never planted cosmos, bracteantha or lantana until this year - what a show they are! I planted them in a large, raised bed along with other annuals. The cosmos grew so lush and tall which then provided a soft privacy screening near our patio . The jury is still out on the pyromania/backdraft I planted for the first time - but we'll see what they do next year. Thanks Jim and Stephany for all your inspiration - my landscape has improved ten-fold. Michigan 6a.
My zinnias, pentas, lantana, sunflowers, marigolds and angelonia have created “pollinator heaven!” Love watching all the happiness. 😊🦋🐝🌻
I live in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, Zone 6b, and I have tried Zinnias before. Every time I plant them, they get really bad powdery mildew quite early in the season. I have given up trying to grow them. We have very humid summer nights (around 80-99% humidity according to my weather station,) but luckily that humidity burns away throughout the morning to the afternoon. Because our nights have been so humid and fairly warm recently, my gorgeous Coleus have contracted some Downy Mildew. Apart from that, the rest of my plants (annuals and perennials in a variety of sun exposures) have done very well.
Verbena bonariensis reseeds prolifically in my 5b garden, and I love it. It’s a pollinator powerhouse, and the hummingbirds and finches love it too. Plus its airy, open framework is just beautiful. In second place is the Cinnamon basil I started from seed. Another huge hit with the pollinators, and it’s really lovely to boot.
I'm definitely gonna do that Summer Jewel Pink Salvia next year, it's beautiful. And you're absolutely right, in your Q and A videos I'm not watching you while you talk, I'm definitely watching the lil buzzing metropolis behind you lol
Every year I collect and plant Marigolds, and Zinnia seeds. Though now I'm finding out that there are quite a few annuals that can root in water, from a cutting, before placing them in a pot to grow on.... Marigolds, Begonia, impatiens etc. I'm continuing to experiment with what can be started in water. Thank you Jim, and Stephanie for your videos. Great Work!!!
I cut the tops off my begonias and remove and buds and pop them in a prop tube, change the water every three days and after a month I had cuttings that took well when transplanted. I'm actually popping them in some hanging baskets today!
Will give marigolds and impatiens a try. But you could do it with many shade/part shade annuals! Nasturtium would be a nice one to try. I think that would even make a great houseplant.
Happy growing!!
@@RealBradMiller Thank you Brad. I do actually have some Nasturtiums growing in pots that I can take some cuttings from. I'll try them in water.
Huh! My Italian White Sunflowers did that too. The Finches did love those this year.
I love the Mignon Dahlia mix from Baker Creek.
Thursday Morning, cup of coffee and a Jim video! Great start to the day!
My tithonia is over 6 feet tall! Love the sunny area I planted it in.
Here in London, tried Gomphrena for the first time this year (had never even heard of it before). Was a bit slow to start, but once it hits it's stride these things are awesome. Mostly been pruning them to use for dried flowers, and have been happy to rebloom so far. Will try different colours next year. One of my favourite annuals is Helichrysum (stunning for dried flowers).
Here in central Texas during our crazy hot drought summer my top performers have been the vinca that seeded itself last year (I didn’t know that it did that so I was surprised) the Blackfoot daisy, the sparkling amethyst verbena and the lady in red salvia. With water restrictions here they got some water once a week and they just kept on going even during the weeks of 105-110 temps.
Summer jewels pick are my very favorite. The pollinators love them.
Love the tall Ageratum! Growing it in Michigan zone 5B. Adds a great pop of color and, best of all, it’s an annual that deer won’t eat!!🙌 Yahoo!!!
After we move, I am looking forward to trying Zinnias, Dahlias, and some of the others that are good for gulf coast zone 9b. Also I will be using ground cover, now that I know it won't take away from my other plants, thanks to you. I have learned something new with every video you share. Thank you Jim & Stephanie, I appreciate all you do and share. Also thank you for answering the questions I have asked. Ya'll are awesome!
Great video - I have to have my Coleus on my screened porch each year, Zinnias direct sown and Lantana and Vinca~
First year growing Ageratum and they are all knockouts! Also first year growing several colors of Profusion zinnias and a Gomphrena mix. However my favorite of all time are the vincas. I had bought a few plants on clearance 3 years ago and have been saving seeds and regrowing every year. I seem to have some new combinations that intermix but I love it. Another new one for me this year that I've already ordered seed to grow more next year are the Avant Garde Blue Laurentia. It has bloomed the most beautiful baby blue consistently all summer in the Georgia heat and humidity! I don't think gardens can have enough blue in them.
Did you direct sow, or start them inside? I love them, but don’t have anywhere inside to set up seeds.
(I mean the Ageratum)
About zinnias, so much texture and variation within one species of flowers! 👍
Yes, it is amazing how much breeders can change them over the years.
I did Chinese Aster from seed this year for the first time this year and love them. The deer pruned them a few times but they just kept coming back. Pretty pink variety planted next to blue horizon ageratum and a white dahlia. My favorite plant combo of the season. I’m adding profusion and Zaharia zinnia after seeing yours. Beautiful!
I love you! I have seen so many videos done by people whose yards looking way more neglected than mine. And I am a total beginner. I just bought my first house. You have a yard I would aspire to have someday. I’m going to see if you have more videos on how to collect the seeds at the end of the year. I spent so much money on flowers this year and made some really big mistakes. I hope you have more videos. This was my first one of yours.👍🏻👍🏻
I'm looking to plant Mexican Sunflower next year, great to see it performing so well.
Zone 6B in Kentucky here. I love Vinca and Calibrachoa.
Zinnias and coleus are probably my two main go-to’s. They are just long lasting workhorses and they make big impact. And bronze leaf fennel became a new fave recently, love those too. 🙂
Your garden is so beautiful! Really enjoyed the video. 😃
Thank you for sharing
Jim
you have a gorgeous yard
🌻🌼🌺🌿
I winter sowed that same pink salvia last year and it self sowed prolifically and I'm LOVING IT, but my favorite is a Sky Blue salvia. Maybe my most fav yet. About four feet tall, truly sky blue. Its beautiful!
I tried gomphrena, salvias, celosias & dahlias from seed this year. All have performed above and beyond expectations! I think I’d have to pick the dahlias in my garden. They have been blooming nonstop and I love the different colors plus pollinators are always enjoying them.
I love begonias! The SureFire Red and Pink are absolutely gorgeous. They grow 2’ tall or more and are very busy. The deer don’t eat them, which is a big problem here in central Texas. I get so many compliments every year - they are my go to annual.
I have fallen in love with Tourenia based off your garden. Outstanding bloomer that just keeps on doing it's thing through all conditions
I was so looking forward to this video after viewing yesterday’s video with the double raspberry zinnias. So many good ideas. Looking forward to the next perennial seed video!
Mandevillas are absolutely bulletproof. I tried to branch out with supertunias this year they filled in and looked incredible then all got fried or drowned I cant tell they all died. Next year sticking to more Vinca in this South Carolina climate. I want to grow many different kinds of Gomphrena next year its always my favorite. That Rasberry ripple Zinnia I want to try from seed its looks amazing.
I had vinca in a planter 3 seasons ago and they reseeded this year and last like CRAZY! It’s literally like a river of beautiful vinca in a bed I always plant annuals in anyway. So win, win! Have a great weekend everybody!!
I like Zeolites calendulas which are cream and bronze red flowers. Really hardy, tough and grow to 18-24 inches.
Of course it’s not the season for them, but I’ve got to have pansy’s & violas in the fall. Zone 7a, mine lasted until the end of June this year!
I would like to try the Italian sunflowers. I love how they branch, and bring finches.
Zinnias always perform well for me and every year I forget to plant some. I'm reminded when a handful come back the next year.
Thanks for showcasing these lovely annuals; I’m inspired to try some different varieties that I probably would not have otherwise. I love all the zinnias, vincas, Pentas, salvia, Angelonia, etc. I placed 2 seed orders last night and I’m most excited about the Raspberry Ripple zinnias, Summer Jewels (Lavender and Pink) salvia, and a Nicotiana Perfume mix! I wish it was late Feb/early Mar all over again so I could get these darlings started; guess I’ll have to be content to start some fall veggies instead. I have an unnamed mix of vincas planted out in a corner garden and they are so lovely spilling onto the sidewalks. I get lots of compliments from my neighbors. Another great video; thanks Steph and Jim! 💚
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Good info!
I tried the gomphrena recommended by you last year. I love them! Trying another color right now. I live in zone 9a so hopefully they will survive winter! Thank you for all your recommendations 💚
My 3 go to are giant zinnias, small and giant marigolds. Collected seed on them for past couple years so its interesting to see how mixed the flower types and colors have become. THIS year though my stars in the garden have been cannas, dahlias and nasturtiums which will be really starting to come in to there own and take off the next month or two with cooler temps. Also just regular 6 pack impatients have done amazing pushing 2by2 but thats partly for being on continues release fert and plenty of water
Beautiful collection Jim 🌸💕🌸
Have been doing the tropical look on our patios, and love Mandevillas, Cannas, Palms.
Great video! I too grow a lot of zinnia from seed. I also like coleus for the shaded areas and tried some rudbeckia this year as well.
It’s been a tough summer here in DFW, zone 8. My Vinca though have been amazing! I’ve learned a lot this year and will be planting differently, starting this fall. Thank you for your great videos!
I loved this video and thanks for sharing. I will be trying almost everything you showed except tithonia. I have only done zinnias, gomphrena, and angelonia from seed before, so looking forward to some new 'from seed' flowers. I typically let zinnias, gaillardia, gomphrena, 'snow on the mountain', and perilla come up where ever it wants to :)
French Marigolds and Zinnias! I haven’t bought seeds in 5 years!!! Many times they reseed themselves!!!
Scaevola, zinnia, different varieties of salvia ( loving ‘Wendy’s Wish’ this year) and cosmos.
I am in Zone 7b too, so I love to watch your videos for inspiration. A high annual performer for me is Denim and Lace Russian Sage. The bumblebees love it and it blooms all summer with little or no care. I also have enjoyed my Sure Fire Begonias. They bloom well in sun or shade and have beautiful foliage.
I do a lot of winter sowing here in 6A central Ohio, and some of my favorites from that are agrostemma, feverfew, annual coreopsis, snapdragons, and wild sweet William. I love dahlias and usually dig up the tubers after the stems blacken to overwinter inside, but plan to try leaving a lot of the tubers outside this year and see what comes back- quite a few usually do! I also start some seeds in my Aerogarden and absolutely love the lisianthus I’ve been able to grow in them. I always sow a lot of marigolds and zinnias, but this year was a little sparse in germination with those… possibly because our spring was cooler than usual until later in the season. Really enjoy your videos, thanks for all you do!
New gardener here, zone 9b! I got my first flower garden up in mid June, so far like you my pentas have been stunning and my angelonia. I tried super bells and they did not look good, my superbena died too but that might be new gardener luck. the supertunias are super bloomers, I will incorporate them every year I think!
Coleus is probably my favorite and I also love hard working lantana though it stays small here in Washington state. Zinnias and Cosmos are great too. I don't have space indoors for seed starting but tried cosmos seed in the ground this year for the first time and will try zinnia as well next year. I admit I spend too much $ on plants every year! Sure appreciate your wealth of knowledge and enjoy your videos - thanks so much!
pentas are my new favorite plant!
Tx for saying your zone up front.
Thanks Jim🌺💚🙃
Flashlight blue Lobelia x 🌺💮🌸🌷🙏😇🇦🇺🌷🌸💮🌺🕊️
Verbena is one of my favorite flowering annuals
This year my favorites have been Nigella (even though the blooms weren't the color they should have been) and Spider Flowers. Same story , should have been mixed colors but everything was all white! 😀 Still beautiful. I guess seeds can get mixed up. Flamingo Feather and Nicotiana. So easy to grow from seed and I saved a lot of money this way.
Hey Jim!! We go crazy over salvia in Richmond, VA. Our pollinators are just going crazy over them. Also, my delphinium has been a huge hummingbird favorite. The blooms hold on for ages, too.
My favorite annual for me this year has been Colossus Red Gold Bicolor Marigold, which really surprised me as I never grew them before here in 7b.
My favorites this year have been zinnias, vinca, and supertunia Vista bubblegum
I just bought summer jewels salvia seeds on your recommendation --red and pink! Profusion zinnias have been good for me (although this year the red variety just died off). The pollinators, however, definitely prefer the sunflowers 🙂 This is the first year I've grown ageratum (the short bedding type from a nursery) and I am loving both the color and continuous bloom. I'm going to look additional ageratums for next summer.
Very nice. Enjoyed it.
Cosmos and GIANT Mexican Sunflower. I had a Mexican Sunflower grow about 12' tall last year in my DFW Texas garden.
My top performer was bachelor buttons, probably because they flowered before the heat and drought hit.i was looking forward to my 1st cutting garden. Maybe next year because we're moving from 8b Central Texas to Greenville, SC which is still green.
I am fairly new to your channel and am enjoying it. I only subscribe to a few gardening channels - yours had mostly def made the list. I live in zone 8 (humid Georgia). In a recent video you mentioned that you didn’t care for Bermuda grass - actually I think you said it was the worst😂. What would you recommend instead?? I don’t have a large grass area but it’s prominent in the front. I love your lawn btw - is it more effort/work as Bermuda?? Thx!
My top performers so far this year in charlotte zone 7B were marigolds and sunpatiens!
I've always adored perennials but, thanks to a number if garden vloggers, have recently taken to several annuals. My fav, hands down, is Proven Winners' Truffula Pink gomphrena! I also really like a number of annual herbs & veggies--Dwarf Greek basil, several frilly-leaved kale varieties, & even the burgundy leaves of Bullsblood beets. 😊
I used the gomphrena this year and it's so beautiful! One tiny plant turned into almost a small bush
Lantana, coleus, purslane and impatiens in my zone 8a garden.
I am eager to grow ageratum and verbena bonariensis. Jim, this winter I would love to see your seed starting area again and more about how you manage space for starting all that you do from seed. I struggle once things need potting up and then they get stunted because they stay too long in small cells. I love growing from seed and want to continue to do as much as I can, but need a better strategy.
Im a big fan of ageratum and besides that and petunias I really love bidens.
Dusty Miller survived last year in charlotte. But we had no snow. So not quite the normal winter
I have a ton of white vinca down by the street. I didn’t plant any of it. It all come back on its own. I even moved some around I rarely water it and it is tough as nails. I’d say the gomphrena is pretty tough too. I’d like to try other colors.
I tried the Summer Jewel Salvia from your recommendation and I am hooked! love the bee's activities everyday. Wondering why you don't plant petunias?
I also planted them due to JP’s recommendation last year. They are lovely. Unfortunately the bunnies in my yard thought so too- but they seem to be making it…
Yellow 💛
My top performers in Georgia have been summer jewel salvia (bees are busy on these before 7am!) - red is a bit showier but all fantastic 😁 pentas, angelonia, and cuphea (a variety w/ pink blooms & yellow tips). Sweetheart purple sweet potato vine also great in my containers. I’d love the try the raspberry ripple zinnias next year. Do you seed those directly into the ground? If not, about how many plants fill that space?
Zinnias of various sorts and the tethonia!
Im searching for a go to annual here in my Pacific Northwest 8b part shade garden. So far, impatiens and vista bubblegum petunias are my best performers. I have a ton of herbs, ground cover, and perennials that go to flower for the pollinators. I’ve tried geraniums, zinnias, Russian sage, and gerbera daisies, but they didn’t do well.
Coleus, begonia, marigolds, and "big bounce" impatience for me every year.
Hi I'm in SC zone 8a I love torenia and coleus and caladiums and impatient
I am trying gomphrena this year and Zinnias. I cannot believe I have never used either one.
Single dahlias and zinnias for the monarch butterflies and bees . They seem to be their faves here. We have a dahlia breeder here called Dr HAMMETT and I noticed his grown from seed dahlias are shorter, bloomed like crazy and got no powdery mildew which all my other get. I will keep growing just for the pollinators. I have had mixed luck with zinnias - not a good year this year, but will keep using them. I also want to get more salvia and try penstemons. I plant mainly for pollinators too - its the best . 🦋🦋🦋 I am Down Under, not sure what zone maybe a 9 ? We had a very wet summer. We do not get as hot as u guys do in summer either.
Hey Jim and Steph, I have all the same plants in my garden with the exception of the Zinnias, I do have them, however, they are the giant ones (not sure the name tho)
Supertunias are my favorite, especially Bubble Gum.
Due to our predominant shade, I plant coleus, impatiens, begonias, caladiums, and black and blue salvia. I would like to try the pink salvia that you highlighted in your video. Any other suggestions for shade annuals? (Zone 7 coastal Virginia)
I planted vinca Tattoo Papaya from seed this year. The flower color is so unusual and so attractive, it would be favorite annual of the year...if they would only grow. They're stalled, and I don't know why.
Everything is a perennial in my zone 10b garden but these are probably annual for everyone else. 1. Nicatonia 2.Alyssum 3. Sweet Basil
I’m disappointed I’ve never collected or purchased seeds so I have to try growing anything from seed. This year, I’ve enjoyed Black & Blue Salvia, Truffula Pink Gomphrena and Purple Buddy Gomphrena, Zinnias, Angelonia, Sunpatiens, Bougainvillea, Verbena and Ruellia (zone 8A).
Hey Jim, what varieties would you suggest for new seed starters?
I planted some summer jewels red salvia this spring and they have been fantastic. The red color is showier than the white/pinks and mine are also constantly covered by bees. I'd expect them to reseed themselves without me having to plant again next year. Do yours not reseed themselves?
When you say you grew them by seed, are you talking about planting the seeds directly into the ground or a seed tray?
What is the reasoning behind
scattering rocks thru the garden? How do you hang your bird houses in the garden?
Zinnia, gomphrena, amaranth, sunflowers, and celosia.
zone 8b Florida, every time I've planted vincas into the landscape the ants build mounds around them. any suggestions on why or what to do?
