My most impressive shrub right now is the Little Henry sweetspire. It looks amazing!
I planted the blue eyed grass last year after you recommended it – so pretty and long-blooming. Love it! Thanks!
Lovely video J&S! Please could you teach us how long we can cut perennial plants (how many times) before we leave them to flower for the season?
Thank you.
Nice spring garden developments. I moved from Raleigh to Pensacola FL in May 2019 to zone 9A so I now do more tropical gardening but still enjoy seeing your place and sometimes miss some of the plants you can grow in that zone and the 4 seasons and fall colors
Hi Jim. Your garden looks super lush & colorful! Everyone can relate to Steph’s story… especially these big box stores throwing out plants all the time. It’s kind of sad but I ended up getting a creeping phlox last Spring that Home Depot was discarding & you should see it in my garden today.
Still missing two hastas 🤷🏻♀️
7b north Atlanta. My 25yr old camellia japonica looks dead, but there are a few tiny leaves peeping out from the interior. It’s right at the front of the house. Save or replace?
7b north Atlanta suburb. Encore azaleas took a hit, bloomed a little, but will need a hard prune because they look leggy. Old mophead azalea leafing out vigorously from the bottom; no blooms. Courtyard elevated potted heuchera was the star of the show this spring and is still blooming! My potted violas did well, too, on same courtyard. Maybe the flagstones provided some warmth?
Looking good!
Jim, I live in VA and have called nurseries from Richmond to Roanoke. None have this mock orange. I am willing to drive to NC for it. Where did you purchase yours????
Your garden is lovely! Thanks for showing us all that is blooming and growing. Stephany, love the peony and the story behind it! (I collect vintage/antique Singer sewing machines, and when my son came to visit recently, he brought me a machine he had picked up at an estate sale. Love our boys!) My garden is being planted basically from ground zero, and I have always wanted peonies. What is blooming in my garden? Red buckeye is still blooming. I have a mystery plant that I think will turn out to be an ilicium, but am looking every day to see what kind of flower it makes to help me identify it (hoping it is a native). I was so diligent last year about not getting poison ivy (we had a half acre of it), but this year I got into it big time, although it was only the vine I was trying to cut off of a tree, and I just forgot that it was poison ivy. Well, It's all over me now! Not fun! Headed today to the nursery to pick out yaupon holly, inkberry holly, and carissa holly to replace the foundation plants lost in the December deep freeze. Thank you again for the wonderful videos and information!
Steph, after graduating from NCState my daughter moved to Denver..on a visit, I collected seeds from her echinacea, started some seeds and planted here in my Raleigh garden. I think of her every time I pass these little cuties !🥰
Super garden❤❤❤
Love seeing your garden! Ours has exploded!
Bearded, Siberian, wall and Dutch Iris are all blooming. Loads of peonies, salvia, dianthus, mock orange, viburnum, red twig dogwood, encore azaleas, wisteria, euphorbia, Columbine, honeysuckle, roses, huercheras, and annuals of course. The hostas, yarrow, penstamen and bee balm are budding up well. The Lenten roses are still looking great. Just planted dalias for the first time, and put out petunias. Added baptisia, plumbago, new salvia and more that I’m looking forward to in the future.
Amazing.. Thanks for sharing this informative video
Take this as constructive criticism. Although you are very knowledgable with you plants in your area being a nursery owner, you seem not to have a very visual garden design that emphasizes the plants in your garden. If you don't acquire a design in your space plants look thrown together, chaotic to the eye and never fully appreciated for its special beauty. If space is a concern choose the plants you love the most and down size. Tips from a garden designer.
How cold did it get there in December?
At the 15:28 mark, what is that plant right in front of you with the reddish/orange tinge to it?
I live in Wichita, KS, zone 6B. I had a beautiful spring show. However, now my garden is transitioning from spring to summer. I have alliums in bloom. I have some violas and some pansies. I also have some annuals I bought. I am waiting on my seeding to start taking off. All in all things are looking good.
Your garden is such a vibrant place! I love it. I live on Cape Cod, just 7a. We did not have the December freeze, and had a very mild winter. I enjoyed a wonderful gardening winter. Then in February we had about 4-6 hours where the temps zoomed down to way below zero and then shot back up to the 40’s. My hydrangeas predictably were hit hard and I only have growth from the bottom. The surprise has been the loss of quite a few of my roses, most I have had for at least 10 years. And one butterfly bush. And I am not alone. It is the talk of the Cape!
I have a peony that someone gave me, found in a compost heap! It took a couple of years to bloom, but has five blooms this year.
I usually have a gap at this point in my yard. I have a few rhododendron starting to bloom, lovely German iris, a fringe tree, Honesty is just finishing up.
I value some of the later blooming azalea that extends that very strong color in the garden. I have a few of these in bloom.
I have a garden carved out of the woods in Hillsborough, NC. We are usually just a bit behind you in Raleigh.
I am just staring to set out some annuals. Only catmint, Walkers Low, is blooming now along with a few snapdragon among my perennials.
Oh I love the peony and the story behind it.
I have had that exact one for many years now.
They are my favorite flower because of their beauty, longevity, and little care needed.
There is a cemetery near me with peonies at a grave stone, and those peonies are 70 yrs old.
I have blue-eyed grass everywhere. Is it a native plant of the south? (I'm SC 8a) I love it too. I also have the yellow version growing everywhere, and then occasionally, I see white ones. They all are just growing naturally, I haven't planted any of it.
I loved seeing you Steph! Your peony is absolutely gorgeous!
Yay! 🫶🏻🥰💃🏻💘
I live just east of Raleigh! So good to listen to someone who knows the area. I want to plant a couple of things in an area under some trees. How do I do that or what do I use to tackle roots I run into?
I’m in zone 9b Central Valley. I just purchased some hostas and learned last night earwigs will devour hostas ..please give advice on how to keep them alive…I did spray the inside and outside of the hostas and put bio advanced tree shrub around the base of the hostas.
