this video is awesome! I feel like you red my mind! I just did my first container of perennials- I mixed catmint, purple heuchera, and dianthus- I'm in a zone 6. Fingers crossed! Thank you for all of your informative videos!
, I am going to try to overwinter serval things this year. Honeysuckles, hydrangea, and pug butterfly bush. Just potting them up in a zone 5-6 🙏😬... late starts but thanks for your suggestions !
Nice tips! I've got a pair of boxwoods that summer on my patio and winter healed in to my veggie garden. Always wondered if they'd survive on the patio all winter (zone 5). They are in kinda smallish plastic pots up in metal urns, so I worry that they'll freeze. Then again, the soil freezes when they're in the ground, too, so what's the difference? Maybe I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
Firts year in portland here, its gonna be our second winter and we are moving just now to a new apartment second floor with a nice balcony and I am just looking for easy care winter plants for balconys. thanks
Awesome! Though I'm laughing at the thought of 25F (-4C) being cold! We're typically at a -25 C here in the winter (-13F) though it gets colder...surprising that Ottawa is also a 5a zone.
You would trim according to the instructions for each type of hydrangea, most say to not prune until spring. Then care for them the same way, and they would need to be two zones hardier than your planting area, and even then there is no promise. Sudden temperature drops, extreme amounts of rain followed by very cold weather...it is hard to winter a plant outdoors in a container.
That's a tough question, best to this question at your local garden center. Is there a Calloway's Nursery near you? They have an awesome staff and received quite a few of our plants recently.
I’m wondering the same about my pomegranate tree. I also live in NJ. I feel like we can possibly put it in our garages because the trees need light for photosynthesis but if they are dormant or even without any leaves, I doubt they need much light. Really not sure tho!
I love her videos❤️🌹🌸🌼💐🌷🌺🌻 she’s so easy to listen to and I don’t feel overwhelmed as a beginning gardener
So surprised eastern Oregon is zone 5. Thanks for all the excellent gardening information your videos provide.
They are in an area that has very dry conditions too. Thanks for watching!
Love how the cat is just chilling on the dusting of snow. My cat wouldn't even watch it snow. She ran. Born in san diego.
Yep great learning video right there ... thanks Laura I've learnt a few good tips 👍🏼🌿🌸🕊
Love the video and all your recommendations thanks ❤

Very well done. Thank you.
Love these tips! Thank you
Great video. Never considered zonage. 🤔
Quite helpful thank you
Anything else to help freeze-thaw cycles for tulips in raised bed aside from mulch on top in zone 6 Mid Ohio?
We wish we could offer advice on that, but our grower staff is not familiar with that process...
Thank you!
You're welcome!

Dom Dee , I am in Toronto and I’m in zone 6 but in the US it’s classified as zone lower, so would be a 5 for me.
Thanks
Thank you
awesome video. thank you.
Thanks for the video. How do you take care of potted hydrangeas during winter

what plants can i start in window boxes that will withstand winter in texas???

I have a little gem magnolia in a pot I live in NJ and I’m so worried my little tree, I can keep this in the garage with NO light at all?
