I just came back from a trip to Lowe's and did not put a single plant on my cart. I consider that a major accomplishment…for me. I'm easily lured by beautiful blooms. 🌼❇️🌸❇️
Instead, I picked up mulch, paver sand and a dozen bricks, and a gallon of paint 😱 for my 30+ year old shutters.
Today is a rainy day so I'm ready to work tomorrow with this much-appreciated softer ground.
I am so attracted by those ultraviolet phlox! Maybe even the bee balm if they stay in clumps. I'm digging up some that have become a bit thuggish and share with neighbors.
Jenny please tell me how to keep my geraniums alive while being gone for a week. I am in Piedmont area of NC. Are getting watered twice daily to stay pretty. Should I put pots in a shade area or put them into garage?
What does it mean that lesser catmint is being discontinued? Does that mean we will not be able to get it anywhere? I love that plant so much!
Speaking of perennials… I'm planning on doing a short hedge with frost proof gardenias to hide my ugly chain link fence. What would you suggest to plant in front of them? I'm thinking of planting the area with pastels for a moon garden effect. (zone 7b)
Hi 👋 Jenny 🌸🌺❤️👏🏻
Thanks, Jenny, Jerry, and Creekside team♥️!
Jenny, have you ever heard of the hydrangea called”Lady in Red?” It begins blooming around this time in the eyelet format. I bought it last year at a nursery that has closed.
Thanks for the awesome format!
Love your top!!! Super cute!!!
Thank you
OMG OMG OMG Jenny, I am dying!! Your shirt with the puffer (fish) sleeves is to die for. 😍😍😍😍
Hello glad I found ur channel . I have saw we’re hydrangeas are bad for dogs what’s ur take on that ? Please reply.
Thank you Jenny! I love hearing about all the plant information and actually seeing them. I always learn something new.
Love the ezscapes; I’m always struggling with putting together combinations. Love your details of the plants.
Gorgeous collection Jenny 🍃🌸🍃
Have two sedums which I have come to adore because of me not having to do one darn thing for them to thrive. And, on top of that, they spread readily and can be dug and replanted or given to friends. Autumn Joy, and oldie but goodie. The only thing I do is cut them in half around late April, early May, here in Virginia, to keep them from flopping open from the middle because of the heavy heads. You can replant the cuttings, too, but I have too many little seedlings to worry about the cuttings. Then there is John Creech sedum. This is a ground cover sedum that thrives on the edge of a bed, against a small stone edge, and is now three years old. It has roots like iron, and holds back the dirt and mulch that is on a pretty steep incline. Gets sporadic water, and has the daintiest look to its leaves. This is the third ground cover I have tried here and the only one that has taken to the spot like a champ. Full sun. I am digging up the parts that have grown into the daisies to give to a neighbor. Never thought I would find a ground cover that would thrive in such an inhospitable area. Well worth the investment for 12 plants to stretch across about 20 feet. The ground is entirely covered and it is falling over the stone edge, looking just lovely.
Such valuable advice. Everything you mentioned, everything, are plants to invest in. They are easy to grow, put in the right spot, are colorful and eye catching, and that can be transplanted when divided, in a very short time. I find perennials to be getting more and more expensive, so plants that can be divided in three years really give me many plants for the price of one. Again, I have found that the right spot and correct watering makes all the difference. But, your information is so meaningful to we gardeners. Takes so much of the guesswork out of buying.
Everything looks great! 💛
I love the Nursery Tours especially when u take it to the Pines because I’m always hoping for a glimpse of the Drinking Gourd Hosta 😍😍😍
Do you have to deadhead the daisies?
Keep going Jenny ,i get lost with you ,love watching you ,NZ ,your plants 👍👍
a southern person saying “bless his heart” makes me chuckle cuz i’m from NJ but I know enough southern people to know what that means 😅😂 beautiful perennials. The chartreuse on the loose is something I should try.
Wish, I lived near you !!
This is one of the most informative videos ever! Thanks!
What a terrific tour of the garden. Extremely informative & discovered new plants. Lesser Catmint, Spreading Yew, Florida Sunshine & Drops of Jupiter. Thx. cgzone8
Thank you for the tour! Fantastic plants and great information on all the varieties!
The plants all look awesome loved the video
Love videos like this. Lots of great info. Thank you !❤
I found some phenomenal lavender at my local nursery and snatched up two solely because you had such success with them in your garden. I can't wait to see how they do!
Thank you for the tour, you have such wonderful energy and enthusiasm, very lovely!!
I tried the phenomenal lavender did not come back, I have tried every one and I’m done with them
Loved this tour. Picked up a Blue Muffin Viburnum yesterday. It has a beautiful form. Already got it in the ground.
I've been growing New Hampshire Purple geranium for about 14 years. It's an excellent low maintenance plant with a really nice shape and is very long blooming. On the other hand I think I've killed about 16 lavender plants, including Phenomenal in my life. I've found that even in the hottest driest spot in my garden, Virginia clay soil (even amended) and our amount of rainfall will reliably kill every kind of lavender plant within about 3 years. I'm trying it in pots this year, but boy is it tough to grow here! Jenny, if you can get that lavender to survive past 3 years, you're my hero!
Jenny and Jerry thank you so much for this program! My pollinators garden 2nd year is so beautiful thanks to you. Such great information. Missed Brenna today.

The sterile Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta Montrose White is the only recommended variety. All other should be avoided.
Russian Sage eh? I do have dry spots where things keep dying.
🌞🌴FL here & interested in those heat lovers!
Wonderful, I would love to visit your nursery. I'm in Oklahoma, I wish there was a place like yours here. There was in San Antonio, you could take your measurment tell them your desired results and they would fix you right up. Great video.
Good guide.plants.jeff

Yay! Perennials! I only need a few more but…. 😂 I’ll take ‘em all! ❤🎉
I’ve learned that when growth is red, some bug or animal will chew it.
