I just took 2 pages of notes! Thanks so much, Jim.
Great channel!
Hello sir your aadres your contery riply
I was just searching tall and narrow shrubs! Thanks!
Hey Jim, what's the plant to the left of the boxleaf euonymus at 5:28?
Wow. I just binge watched all the videos on Foundation Plants! Thank You! 🤩
Chose trellised climbing rose with Potentilla in front of it on one side, trellised Clematis with Potentilla in front of it because house is tiny rancher with wide, low eves. Great information on the needs of each plant. Zone 6 in Northwest means we can't grow a lot of these, unfortunately. Gorgeous and large selection for us-thank you so much!
This series on foundation plants is brilliant. Thank you Jim!
Jim what’s been your experience with sky pencil Holly. If I plant a group inevitably will lose up to 25% in a few years. Zone 7a here. It appears just random death. Your point about water movement could be it.
We planted an Oakland on the corner of our house
Which one is best that takes full sun, grows about 4-6’, rabbits or gophers don’t eat!
What is the plant next to the box leaf called? Not the sky pencil, but the other one.
Are any of these native to NC?
Jim, my problem is front of the house planting is total shade. Can you please help? My pro advised me to plant holly ( her first choice was Yew, but they are poisonous, so no.)
I regularly watch your videos, but this one never did, very beautiful evergreen plants to me, how if I plant in containers for my Deck, full sun till 4 pm?
That opening music sound like Stevie Wonder's Superstition
Soft touch are great shrubs. Only problem I have is mites that infest 3-4 of 9 shrubs and take out small branches of the shrub and will continue without treatment. I frequently treat with bayers Insectides.
I have recently specified Mood Ring on a project and am very excited to see it do it’s thing!
I just love your videos, thanks for all you do.
Always appreciate that you are sharing your knowledge with us…I learn something new every time I watch your videos 🙂 I am now looking for some junipers for the corner of my new deck
Sadly most of these things won’t grow in my zone.
I have been in the industry for over 30 years. I love what you are presenting. They are good, dependable plants. Nicely done!
You are so right about the Nellie Stevens holly! They are planted all over Oklahoma as foundation plants and when we had a hard freeze for days a few years ago, they all died. Our house was 3 years old so we dug one up but it was difficult to move! All over town they look bad. They are prickly.
Thank you! Very informative and internet search time saver! I live in corner lot home in zone 8 and have been wondering what to plant for foundation and corners. I was completely baffled and overwhelmed with choices. This was my parents home and my Mom had a beautiful flower garden with rose bushes as a fence around the whole property. She had a green thumb. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep it up as my parents caregiver when they became elderly, especially at home hospice when they became terminal with debilitating illness. At that point, I didn't care about the garden. My parents were my priority and especially spending our last moments together making them comfortable as much as possible. Now that they are with the Lord, I want to honor them and one healing way for me is having a beautiful garden again in their former home where I now live. God bless you Mom and Dad! Miss you and love you very much! 😇🥰🙏🐾🌹
Vervollständigen Sie das Bild mit grünen Blumen. Es gibt grüne Blumen
Finally got myself a mood ring podocarpus! So happy I found one. Could not find Roman Candle anywhere or I would have got one of those too lol
Could you put a list of your plants?
I want to plant all of them. Let's get crazy with it.
We have different versions of the word “narrow”. That blue point juniper gets to be 6-8’ wide!
Yes, @ArbitraryLifestyle, Jim’s videos are very educational, and no-nonsense. I often feel like I should take notes watching his videos. Very helpful in gardening with all levels of experience, especially for beginners. I learn something every time and very often I watch them more than once. Tks Jim for sharing your knowledge and gems in gardening!
I'm in bladen county and my favorite tree form that I have fond is the Laura patella
Would soft serve false cypress be good as a full sun corner foundation plant for 6B?
Thank you so much
Can these tolerate shade ? I'm struggling to find shade ones
Thank you. Great info!
Thank you beautiful and very informative!
