Jim, after 6 months of trolling the internet for a Pearls of Perfume Mock Orange, I finally got one! It's about 1 foot tall right now but full of buds and blooms already! Thank you for the plant recommendations! I feel like these online retailers should give you a promo code for all the plants you help sell.😅
Jim, I enjoy all of your videos on your channel. Your presentation is full of great information on all of your videos. I’m sick of videos where the minute they start you have a guy who isn’t qualified at all, has a hat on backwards,tattoos, sleeveless shirts and loud introductory music which continues through the whole video, jumping from scene to scene and not telling you anything. You are the opposite. Well informed and knowledgeable and you take just the right amount of time to explain the topic of your video. Not too long but not too short and really believable. I’m a fan now.
The irises are going crazy over here. I have some that have 4-5 feet flower stalks with blooms every 9 inches. I’ve never seen them so big. I stopped fertilizing them all together and they’ve never been happier. The perennial salvia leafed out and I didn’t even realize because the irises were hiding them. I also had a holding area from last year that I’m working on getting things moved around. I got a tree hydrangea last year and it only grew maybe a foot. Now it’s three feet tall and leafed out. It’s so funny how these plants wake up and jump to go. I just love it.
OMG!! I have to remind myself I cannot afford all these new plants Jim and Steph film, but I usually make a list and check if I can find a super good deal. Thanks Jim and Steph always great to see how things come together in your garden; as well as, why you are placing it where you are moving it.
They introduce us to Plants that we can look out for, but I can usually only find about half of them and maybe one or two are actually at a decent price. Lol
Those orange rockets are INCREDIBLE in full sun. It’s one of the few (maybe only) perennials that I have more than one of, and may get a couple more so that I can have one in each garden room. They glow red!!!!
I've managed to break the rules and got one to shift from surviving to thriving in 10a swfl.....it's finally starting to put on some growth after almost 3 years in the ground and the foliage caught my eye the other day....what a beauty. Unfortunately the other 2 I planted haven't done so good....one died within 5 months, and the other is still just surviving.
I have one of the orange rocket barberries, too. In addition to being one of the main focal points in my front entrance bed with the bright red/orange color, they are super hardy and come back reliably each year. I am in a zone 4b, and other barberries always tend to lose big branches each year that I have to come by and prune out. It's nice to have a barberry that I don't have to do that with. The only downside to this plant is the snow can weigh down the branches in the winter. However, it's easy enough to come by and knock the snow off every once in a while.
You asked what looking good in my /our garden right now ? Looking out my back door my eyes look directly at my beautiful Orange Flame Japanese Maple I got from Mr Maple it started out around 5 years ago in a 1 gal pot little more than a seedling and today it is stunning bright green chartreuse leaves with orange tips and it stands around 10 feet tall upright . I absolutely love it , it is one of 3 beautiful maples I bought from Mr Maple
From my breakfast table I can see out to my “secret garden” entrance and the well-spaced pops of red/orange light up my morning. An unknown red Japanese maple, orange rocket barberry, and tamukeyama Japanese maple ❤🧡❤️
Thank you for sharing all the plants that I would never have dreamed of. Thanks to your amazing videos I can now walk through a garden or garden center and identify plants readily.
Viburnums, viburnums, viburnums. They are putting on the best ever budding bonanza and will be flush with blooms in just a week or so. These are Blue muffin, summer snowflake and popcorn. Lucky Charm boxwood is going on my list. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jim for sharing your newly planted gems! I feel so much better that you have plants that having been in their nursury containers for a while. I still have Olive trees to plant but they are waiting on a raised bed garden area that we are planning and they are suppose to flank the 4 corners of that garden. You asked what is new in my garden...Astilbe, Butterfly Sage, and milkweed! Can't wait to see what they do. I did want to share a lesson learned this year. I planted Hostas last year and did not mark where they were planted and so they disappeared in the winter. I am going to place name markers this year so I don't mistakenly plant over them...which I did.😂
I planted a row of 3 forever Goldy thuja plicatas around three years ago, here in central Ohio now zone 6A, and they have been fantastic! Slowly growing taller but not wider, and gorgeous yellow color year round. They anchor my front curb bed beautifully!
Your intro on this video is a cornucopia of foliage color! 👍 Right now, my peonies are stealing the show in my front garden bed. The wood chip mulch I added there 1-1/2 years ago has accelerated their blooming.
If you're looking to plant aucuba, try finding a neighbor and asking if you can get a cutting from theirs. It roots very easily without stimulants. If the lower limbs contact the ground for long enough they just start putting out roots. I was surprised to see how expensive it was considering it's so easy to propagate.
My Japanese sawtooth acuba is finally getting a lot of growth. I planted spring of 2022 & it just stared at me this long! lol Finally it’s growing along! And my Hostas are looking like superstars! Ya’lls garden is absolutely charming!!
Mr. Putnam the Heritage better boxwood wood be a good choice for a replacement of the Hick's yews I pruned during our consultation over a week ago, all I have to tell my wife is "It's Jim's fault" 😄
Hey Jim, thanks for the update on the foundation plantings and ideas for specimen plants to add (I'm so excited about that variegated osmanthus--will be keeping an eye out for that in the next couple of years!). I wondered if you all actively pushed your spring bulb foliage over (sort of horizontal) as the later-spring and bulb-cover plants fill in? I had noticed bulb foliage laying over a bit near where your trio of Silver Caress mahonia went in, and wondered if you all did that on purpose? I love my daffodils, and am very dedicated to letting the foliage yellow, but I'd love to see less of it (!) as new things start to bloom that are a bit less tall! Thanks.
Can't comment on that particular plicata. But of different arborvitaes I've planted. I've only found thuja orientalis does extremely well in a Texas 8b almost 9 given the extreme heat. I've got one golden Arborvitae(orientalis) right in full sun and it just shrugs off the heat. And has been putting on a good foot of growth, each a year. It was a bit of an unusual pick up that I found 2 years ago and haven't seen available locally since.
I love your videos and I’m so excited to have found your channel - a local plantsman putting out this much content is just delightful. Do you have any local nurseries in the Raleigh area you like? I know big bloomers and PDN but I’m always looking for new places to visit. Thanks.
Another great one--thanks, Jim and Stephany! Got a question that can hopefully make it to an upcoming Q&A: Any drawbacks to planting a new tree right where an old one was just taken out? We recently had a very mature oak cut down and its stump was ground up down to between 6 and 8" below the soil surface. We've got a Tamukeyama maple in a 1.5 gal pot that we purchased recently and are wondering if that spot is a viable option, considering the soil there now has quite a bit of sawdust in it. Appreciate any info on this! North AL, zone 7b.
Hi Jim thanks for your videos and answers. You are definitely in top 5 favorite Garden channels. I live in Upstate NY zone 6a. Our pennoies stay all the way till fall. But by mid to late summer they have the white stuff on the leaves. Should I leave them are cut them back? I usually cut them around Fall when we get our first frost with the Hosta.
Very interested in the lucky charms boxwood. Please update in the future as to availability:) I love that you have so many interesting conifers. I can grow most of them, here in the Pacific Northwest zone 8b. One thing I’m struggling with are hydrangeas. Nobody seems to talk about which ones are finicky. I’m just doing trial and error, by planting different kinds. I’m limited to smaller versions, so maybe they are more difficult than large ones, as well. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Does the Orange Rocket Barberry have a problem with hiding deer ticks as other barberries have been found to do? I have a lot of deer and a lot of ticks and don’t want to create a problem. Thanks.
I was wondering if you could please tell me what variety of dwarf barberry that is in front of the lucky charm boxwood? I enjoy watching yalls videos. I'm working on designing my front landscape in front of the house. I planted little lime lights last year and been trying to decide what to put in front of them. I'll welcome any ideas and suggestions 😊 I'm a zone 7a. Middle Tn area.
Great question! Hopefully someone else with more experience will chime in, or Jim adds it to the list for Sunday Q&A! I'm not sure what the cause of witch's brooms on conifers is, but the cause of the ones on roses is a virus. So while the unusual short, dense growth pattern is the same, the cause may be different.
@@georgelowellohhdgg63nnd96 he does use a scuffle hoe for weeds that are starting to come up. But his main thing is to keep the ground covered, either with ground cover or mulch.
Jim and Steph, I really wish you'd help me get interest in the Phlox I found in a landscape dump. It's in full bloom now, bubble gum pink, 18-24" tall, fragrant and locally super aggressive. It's a truly industrial Phlox. Semi-evergreen, long bloom. It's suitable for a sunny bank and will out compete grass. I'm going to see if someone else can email a picture, my email is unusable.

Who else is pumped for the late May / June garden?

Wow! the variation of color in your garden is gorgeous!! So very nice!
Wow the back drop when you start the video...gorgeous!
Jim would you say you are a plant hoarder? LOL. 😂. The garden looks fabulous!!!

I dont see a group of 3 mahonia.....I see 3 drifts of one😂 Love seeing y'all's garden move towards an equilibrium, it looks great

I just used your link to plants by mail and ordered 2 Bigfoot Cleyera and a Carolina Midnight Loropetalum. Getting that green fence started!
awesome!

Can you suggest a narrow shrub that gets about 8’-10’ tall for mostly shade. May get a couple hours of hot afternoon Sun. North Texas zone 8b. Thanks.
What’s the width of the trench/ditch shovel you use?? 😊
Jim & Stephany: Is it Sherwin Wms, UPLAND? Or, Benjamin Moore's BLUE HEATHER?
Let me know if I ever get it right????
Is the witches’ bloom on Knock Out Roses the same as the witches’ brooms that you are talking about on these plants?

Do the barberries you use in the south have thorns? The invasive ones we have up north have the nastiest thorns.
Hey Jim do you know what those purple salvia's are in the lot behind you at 5:20 ? I think they're a native cause I see them everywhere
What variety of lorapetalem is behind that lucky charm boxwood?
Purple daydream
Do you put anything under your beds to prevent weeds like landscape fabric? If landscape fabric, do you recommend any suppliers? Thanks!
He does not. He actually discourages people using it in garden beds.
@@anitahadley2871 Does he scrape the ground before putting mulch down - what is his bed prep to control weeds? Thanks.

Hello
Have you ever had to deal with bagworms? All of our arborvitea got them. To much to deal with
my wood chips just sit there for years. smh trying to get my sooil better. i got a soil problem when the hydrangeas dont come back
That's a bummer! Have you done a soil test?
I moved a peony don't care too much for it , now a new one is sprouting at the old spot
A GROUP OF THREE?
Jim and Steph, I really wish you'd help me get interest in the Phlox I found in a landscape dump. It's in full bloom now, bubble gum pink, 18-24" tall, fragrant and locally super aggressive.
