🤔 I didn't have plans to plan anything but this video show makes me want to
I just planted an Abelia. I think it was kaleidoscope. I’ve heard they’re deer resistant, fingers crossed! They went to town on my roses this year and they look pitiful.
I love my Spireas!! I've had two for a while now, and they are solid performers. Lovely shape, nice blooms (2x a year), and withstood this year's drought situation just fine with minimal irrigation. Verbena was added to my garden this year and is a solid performer despite the heat! Even in the Fall, it is still in bloom!
Good information, Erin. Thank you. 😊💖🦋🕊
Planting a couple Show Off Starlet Forsythia that I picked up from Lowes for $7 each. I couldn’t pass them up. They look to be about full size, with buds from the bottom to the tip of every stem!
Since lilacs bloom on old wood, how will you keep the deer from eating that growth and keeping the plant from blooming? That's my problem anyway. Or will it be another thing you have to keep spraying?
I like the CranRazz, looks cool, I'll check out Bloomables. I went to our local nursery to look for shrubs, didn't find what I wanted, but of course came home with some perennials. My new favorite is the Wintergreen with beautiful red berries. Not sure why it's so expensive, but luckily all on sale. :0
Shrubs are my fav! So far this fall planted a red twig dogwood and a rhododendron. Going to the garden center tomorrow to see what else they have.
I love 💕 spireas, especially the newer ones like Candy Corn from PW , always looks great in my zone 5, when everything is sticks I Spring , the spirea comes out with this beautiful reddish color
Thanks for the watering advice. I've always wondered about fall planting.
I'm planting Winterberry "Red Sprite" for it's beautiful red berries in fall and winter. You do need a male pollinator, "Jim Dandy" planted somewhere in your yard as well.
Just transplanted a Boomerang Lilac and have a beautiful unknown variety of hydrangea paniculata from a bargain bin that's prospered for years and have new plants that came up from seed from it last year-each already two feet tall. Looking forward to finding a good spot for them. Thanks for sharing three shrubs that I am intrigued with to try.🪴💜
Wow! A great list to consider! Keep that information coming!
Ty for this! I have 3 very small flowerbeds that I would normally just plant a bunch of annuals in, but I'm wanting to actually design them, but they'll only comfortably fit 2-3 shrubs in & since I don't have a lot of experience with shrubs I've just been in analysis paralysis!
You can totally push it with a spirea to part sun. Mine is tucked next to a shed, 10 years now part sun however, it has not gotten any taller than 20" in height. (Zone 6b, Go Huskies!)
Love your vudeosy
How far is this from Winter Wisconsin? I would love to visit
I am planting a summer wine ninebark.
I have a dwarf butterfly bush & spirea… agree they are all great plants & worth a go! I've just planted (this Fall) Montauk daisies & in the process of planting my tete a tete daffodil bulbs. I'm also a ton of transplanting and shifting things around. I like doing it now, because of the cooler temps and I can actually see things like liatris & coneflowers…if I wait to Spring to transplant it's very much a guessing game (unless I kept markers up through the winter).
Thank you for your comment on "stomping" a plant in. Really irritates me to see this being done. I do it the way you do.
