Hi y’all and welcome to 2024 I am recovering from a little bit of cold so I haven’t shot any content over the past week like I normally would as we start designing our Gardens into 2024 um this is the time of year that I’m getting back ready to start Garden

At least preparation wise and I know a lot of you are um so I’ve been going through books I’ve ordered some I’ve had for quite a while and I’m looking through them again I’ve been going through like seed cataloges or online and looking at some seeds I might want

To start I’m not starting a ton this year but I am going to start some vegetables and a few cut flowers and then just generally some Cut Flower books on how to arrange tools needed U specific varieties that are great but when I was doing this process over the

Past couple weeks uh I also started redesigning the front garden bed and I’ll take you along that process here in the next video or so but I realize I never provided you with a 2023 summer garden tour at the last half house I shot it it was the day we moved out it

Was a little rainy and drizzly and I wasn’t sure how the footage came out and I ended up looking at that yesterday and decided it was good enough that I wanted to put it out and go ahead and get started in 2024 with the summer 2023 Garden Tour it

Allowed me to look back up the varieties I had in my garden what I want to repeat here what I want to do differently and overall just got me excited about the opportunities this new space is going to provide me so I hope you enjoy and talk

To you soon good morning y’all it’s moving day and I want to show you the garden one last time before we get all moved out uh the movers will be here in less than an hour so this Garden Tour may be a little faster typically mine

Are about an hour for the big summer garden tour but we’re going to start on this bed that I redesigned this spring if you don’t know who I am welcome to my channel my name’s Matthew and I Garden in Southwest Ohio zone 6 I’m originally from Alabama and transplanted up here in

2016 for work so we’ll just get started on the garden this bed um was designed in January December of last year and I planted all of these annuals in the space previously here there was a big uh green Spruce that we had removed last October and all of these pagonas and Sun

Patients have filled in really nicely we have some tiny Arbor VY here and then in the middle is surrounded by Le stance can do hydrangeas by Proven Winners these are a newer variety used to be called Let’s Dance can can and they changed the name um a year or so ago and

They are reblooming really nicely for me you can see the older blooms here have faded these new ones are coming on and in the center right here is a red Obelisk Beach which has really nice beautiful uh burgundy leaves in the spring when it emerges it’s turned a

Little more green right now it does get a little more shades so that might be a reason but I think it looks really striking here together with all of these beautiful annuals that are blooming right now we’re going to continue down the north side of the house I’m going to

Tell you where these locations are so if you want to plant these things in your garden you’ll get an indication of the light that they’re getting on my home this is an incredible hydrangea hedge that was planted about 5 years ago now uh 5 years and some months and in

Between here we have emerald green aror VY these do really well they are staked um we had a severe th storm that came through this morning so they’re a little droopy this morning but they’re dried enough now that they’re kind of papery and you can use them for Arrangements if

You would like it’s sprinkling a little bit but we’re going to carry on for right now we got a few perennials in here this is pigsqueak also called Virginia pig sque is kind of the common name some ferns in here I think that’s called called lady in red got a boxwood

Tucked in here and there in between right in front of these ferns uh some caraxes and then over here we have a Summer Wine nine bark on standard surrounded by some tater tot Arbor VY now you’ll see a lot of tater tot Arbor V in my garden when I planted

Them two years ago the sizing on them by Proven Winners was about 1 to 2 feet tall and wide so this would have been a nice hedge they’ve increased they’ve since increased set sizing and it could get larger so spacing these like I have may not be the best choice but it’s just

Going to depend on your Zone in your growing conditions how large those get but this summer y n bark blooms white in the very early spring and has this beautiful dark foliage the rest of the season we’re going to take a look at the rest of the front right now while we’re

Around the front so you can get a whole view of this space I really really love all of these anals they’ve done incredibly well they’ve actually started blooming more the sun patients I was having a bit of a lull in them but it’s been really warm here recently and they have certainly

Enjoyed all of the heat here we have an annual container that is looking really pitiful from the storm it was gorgeous yesterday before it stormed but we have some new Proven Winners per annuals in here uh one super tunia Vista jasberry which isn’t new but there’s a yellow one

Called uh super tunia saffron Finch which is it’s really gorgeous this is an IPA or sweet potato vine called solar power uh black um Diamond Frost Euphoria uh orange Cana or a tropical Coral looking Cana in there and I think that’s about all that’s left in this container we did have some

Uh dondra Silver Falls in here but everything else kind of out competed and I think it’s kind of withered away down here at the bottom we have some Endless Summer Hy ranges these are um Bloom struck and you can see the blooms are pink in my soil conditions they have

High alkaline soil I did put some soil acidifier down on these uh they’re a little purple they’re not completely pink so it’s kind of hard to bring the PH down here because we also have hard water but they’re looking pretty good and reblooming really well for me this

Is a new one out this year that you may see in garden centers called pop star as well by Endless Summer the blooms on it are really really gorgeous there stays really tiny a foot to 2T tall and wide I think uh if I remember correctly and it’s just really really beautiful all

This nice foliage here so there’s a little river of those that go kind of around here with some more in the background those are more of the bloom struck we have a proven winners puffer fish hydrangea back there and all of these hostas here that were G gathered

From Facebook Marketplace 5 to six years ago from tiny little uh one divided starts there I think I got them $3 a piece and you can see how beautiful they are in this space right now so we continue around here we have some more Hy ranges these are tough

Stuff Aha and they stay pretty small 1 and 1 half to 2T tall and wide as well uh they’re kind of in a lull they got some new blooms under there but they’re still just a really beautiful color right here and a nice pop along the border this is a great edging hydrangea

For a border uh you can of course these get Eastern facing Sun so we’re on the north side of the house now and they tend to love this condition so they get Morning Sun uh through maybe lunch or so and then they’re protected from the hot afternoon sun and they’ve done really

Well and love the spot quite a bit this this container has been a bit of a bust this year um the actual dondra Silver Falls is looking really good but the plants themselves have not done great in this container so I’ve got to figure out a better solution for this uh

It doesn’t look too bad right now of course we had the rain so all the annual containers look pretty rough but I will probably use different plants in this next year in this space we have a lot of the Tropical Sun patients which are really nice pop of color under the shade of

This Sweet Bay Magnolia we have right here got some ferns here these are ghost ferns um that are really beautiful and under here you’ll see that they are more hydranges these are tiny tough stuff and they bloomed out on the bottom here they’ll probably continue blooming throughout the season but they get a

Little more shade than I think they like and so they don’t bloom or repeat Bloom very well for me but they do reliably Bloom and our Zone uh even over the tough winter we had so if you have a cold Zone uh that you are having trouble with hydrange is blooming I’ve heard

These do really good in colder parts of the country they just need a little more sun I think to be happy well guess must still be under here this is little visions and pink that’s bloomed out and some Huka here along the pathway uh I

Always forget the name of this one but I really like it because the leaves are orange kind of when they emerge they turn a little green later just really beautiful and striking there’s a Carrick in here called Feather Falls along with some purple hooka along with some black

Lori upy right around in here these containers because the storm are also looking really rough but this plant is Cherry drops uh colus it is a 2024 Proven Winners perennial but it’s not it’s finally dropping a little bit now that it’s got so big but I think it’s

Because it’s flopping um rather than just intentionally dropping if you’re familiar with chocolate drop it grows down quite a bit and actually drops so this one before this week and before all this rain we had wasn’t dropping so much still kind of beautiful but uh it

Is a monster you can see there’s one plant in this container and both one here and one there and is completely taken over this container this is a sweet potato vine by Proven Winners it’s also new called red h it’s been really beautiful here on the corners of these

Planters this is Bermuda Beach super tunia which is looking rough from the rain as well but a beautiful pinky coral color we got some Imperial blue uh verbina here more of that saffron fch yellow which is really gorgeous and I think that’s about it in these containers right now there is a

Diamond Frost Euphoria poking through here so I guess I planted one of those and it could not catch up with this colus I’ve really loved how this bed has aged over the years it’s looking really really beautiful we have a hedge of hi coat lavender which is done really well

For me I typically wait and prune it or cut it back until spring last year I cut it back about halfway because it tends to trap a lot of leaves over winter and then I cut it back more in Spring and then we had a really tough winter and I

Did have some of them die out a little bit the plants are all still lie but some of the root or the top crown of the plant died so I don’t know that I would recommend pruning it in winter so it’s been here five six years it was one of

The earliest things I added to the garden and because I had that experience with it I would wait until prun it until spring we have a butterfly bush here that’s looking really good I don’t remember the name of it this would be one of the pugster series it stays

Really small and it is really loving this spot right here this is East Southeastern facing so the sun kind of goes over here and goes on the south side of the house but it’s doing really well there this year last year we had some die off or in this over winter we

Had some die off and it was cut back severely but it’s bounced back really nicely I filled in with some anuls here these are Bonas obviously and some Iris Millennium alium this is a uh ornamental oregano called Drops of Jupiter and it’s really beautiful flopped a little bit because of this

Rain but n typically it’s standing very upright nice chartreuse pop of color here in this perennial border more Millennium alium and then we have a really beautiful new hydrangea called tiny quick fire stays relatively small it’s a panicula it’s already bloomed started blooming super early along with my Annabel type hydrangeas or the

Arborescent and now it’s turning a little bit pink early as well uh and it’s almost kind of blooming out and it’ll start continue to rebloom throughout the summer you could probably give it a sheer if you want but I like to let the blooms age in place we have

Some hakana cloa this is all gold I believe in this area so they’re liking under this Japanese maple uh they’re protected a little bit these over here that are getting a little more sun are burning quite a bit not terribly but this is also their first year in the

Ground so we have a little Trio of boxwood here this is a Green Mountain and green velvet combo I think one of them’s green velvet I think it’s the one that’s slightly bigger here but these are Green Mountain intended to be pruned and pretty tight spheres then we have

Some sun patients and these have done gloriously on the South Side like that right there is one plant and it was planted from a little plug uh about the middle of May and you can see how much they have loved the space uh there is a

Little bit of drip irigation in this bed it’s not as substantial as some of my other beds just because it’s been reworked over the years and this bed does get a little more sprinkler spray overspray than some of the others uh but they’re doing really well you can see

Them there too this is Autumn Joy Sedum and it has really loved this location since we removed the blue spruce here last year so there was a blue spruce in this location shaded out and took up all of this bed right here that you can see this Sunjoy Autumn Sedum or Autumn this

Autumn Joy Sedum was not getting enough Sun previously but since it has been moved and it can get sun nearly all day except in the late evening it’s really really loved it got some Arbor here this is fire chief that I planted this spring dotted in here and I really love that

Nice different color that it adds to the landscape uh it’s striking with the contrast and these dollas that I have this is purple illusion then we have some of the newest still be by Proven Winners called Dark Side of the Moon and they have really beautiful pink blooms

They’re all bloomed out for right now obviously it’s heading into summer so that the still bees are uh blooms are fading and those could be cut off but they also make nice winter interest so I leave them all season until spring down here at the bottom I get a

Lot of questions about this grass this is just a lopy um so it’s also called a monkey grass this what I we always called it back home we have some a lot of annuals in here to feel space this is a brackens brown Beauty Magnolia and you

Can see how beautiful the back of those leaves are uh that nice brown color and they can be cut on or pulled off the tree and used to make wreaths or an Arrangements uh and has grown quite a bit just this spring it was planted from

A container and you can see how much growth it’s put on if you go back in my videos I think we got this planted late March and you can see how small it was then lots of annuals in here as I mentioned this is blue suede shoe Salvia

These are looking really good these are starting to come out of a lull that they had not sure what was going on but they’re finally picking up here um you can see even the impatience or the sun patience on this side of the Magnolia are doing good and these over here were

Struggling a bit so not sure maybe some nitrogen issues from where that tree was at uh there is drip here so it’s not a watering issue I don’t think but uh really beautiful combination of plantings here these are bubble bath aliums uh they’re nice cuz they’re a little bigger than Millennium the heads

On them 2 to 3 in I think so they look more like annuals you would plant or aliums you would plant from bulbs for spring blooming but they’re perennials so they come back each year have nice grassy alium foliage that’s really nice texture in your garden uh pretty rabbit

And deer resistant because it is an alium so it’s an onion and we’ll just continue on this way we got some Back in Black Sedum here which is looking really beautiful there’s also a striking set down there uh another Arbor VI y this is Little Giant this big one kind of behind this

Grass I really love these these have been in my garden I just transplanted on the spring but they’ve been in my garden one of the first things that I planted probably five at least 5 years ago and they have been perfect I moved them because I redesigned they were on

The front of the house and I redesigned that garden bed space and I didn’t these didn’t fit into the garden design uh but they’ve been really strong performers for me in my garden and all our tend to do really well in my zone and garden I think this is shyen Sky grass really

Beautiful uh this is also the best year I think it’s ever had since we got out the blue spruce everything in this bed that’s surrounding it has done incredibly well there’s a viburnum called Brandy Wine back there that has beautiful berries on it um they haven’t changed colors yet but it just finished

Blooming and those can turn blue and purple which is really nice got got some Yuki cherry blossom dsia this is a dsia if you’re not familiar is a hranger relative uh but it blooms very early spring and then it’s just kind of a texture of nice low ground cover type

Foliage uh the rest of the season this is a Anis Magic Ball Arbor so that nice chartreuse kind of pop of color here it’s a nice combination against the Back in Black Sedum there that’s just really striking I just really love that sedum we’ got some St John’s wart in here this

Is a Monrovia variety I’m not familiar exactly with the name I can’t remember this one right here is also a Monrovia variety and this is an Endless Summer variety called Cobalt and blue and it’s blooming so it’ll get some little blooms on it as well but it has a nice blue

Type foliage almost like a rosemary or a lavender but really nice combination around these annuals this is a yila I really love wias and our Zone they’re a nice aelia alternative but you can get some that have really interesting foliage like this one’s called Midnight Sun emerges

Green in the spring but you can see the green leaves inside but as the leaves hit Sun they take on all these different colors red being the primary one but you can see orange and yellow in there as well as the leaves transition to this darker red color really really beautiful

This is a blue Kazo Spa um you can see how blue the foliage is and also a nice color contrast against this Back in Black Sedum really striking as well some vated Iris and then this is a yila as well called check mark Trilogy it’s completely bloomed out for the season

Cuz yila Bloom like I said kind as an aelia alternative in our zone so early spring and I cut it back quite a bit um I may have cut it back spring I can’t remember I think I cut it back late last year but it’s bushed out really nicely

And become much more Fuller since I did that uh last year got some Yaro in here this bed has no drip to it and gets pretty dry so the Yaro is kind of Aging out a little bit we have some more Back in Black Sedum up front this bed needs

To be reworked these are pin cushion flowers and they’re really beautiful but I had so many of them I kind of stuck them in between these rows of Yaro and black and Back in Black Sedum and now they look incredibly weedy to me so I would remove those and put them

Elsewhere in the garden if there’s an open space but otherwise this is a really nice uh beautiful bed with uh Sedum and Yaro this is looking a little wild just inside the gate here we’ve got the boscabel rose by David Austin which is reblooming quite nicely here uh this

Hydrangea which I’ve mentioned in videos before is one of my favorite it kind of turns a little ombre really gorgeous striking color I planted it from like a 4in container I think or a 3/4 gallon container that I ordered from Proven Winners and it is really really lovely

And it’s called zenin doll and they no longer produce it so you can’t find it you might be able to find it online someone that still has one stuck around but it grows really well for me and the Aging blooms are almost purple it’s it’s kind of incredible I’ve never seen

Another hydrange you like it but so if you see it online I would recommend you grab it uh we did have a lot of rain you see how upright the stems are standing so they are pretty strong and it’s done really well for me in this location in

The south facing this eonia is called lovely Loi and I really love it it is really lovely look how beautiful and pink this Bloom is they got a little water on them but they’re almost like straw flowers they’re really um rough the petals are real roughly and I think they would do really

Wonderful in arrangements for quite a while if you needed them too too so this is a bobo hydrel one of my favorites really floriferous this one I grew uh from a tiny tiny container as well so it’s been here several years and looking good right now flopping a little bit

Because of the rain bow don’t have the strongest stems but they do have a ton of blooms and that’s what you buy them for down here at the bottom my new favorite cars I’ve showed you already in the garden since I’ve been shooting this tour is Feather Falls it just gets

Really large blows really nicely in the wind but it’s really striking for contrast against nearly any other plant because of its white variegation the vegetable garden is looking pretty wild right now we’ve got the dollas that are still blooming their heads off I put some more of that solar

Power ipomea sweet potato vine in here for a nice pop of color uh and then we’ll transition over here we’ve got some more boxwood hedging that I started from 4 French containers a couple years ago So eventually those will grow up and be a nice little hedge that will look

Similar to this one this one’s just now starting to become a hedge uh it’ll be another year or so before it’s fully in that hedge form but it can be pruned nice and tight to a um nice border here along the vegetable garden I did add um Clover to this vegetable garden space

Last year and you’ve probably followed Along on that J Journey if if you’re not new to my channel and I have really loved it it suppressed weeds really nicely uh in this area and that’s what I wanted it for was a weed suppressant uh you can see there’s still a few grasses

Making their way through here but I come back and cut it a few times a year with a mower or the weed eater and it grows right back and looks really nice we have lots of peppers that I need to come pick uh from the garden before I leave

It but they’re looking really good good they really love this location cuz it’s Southwest facing kind of here on the corner of the house and these are my metal rais garden beds that I L so much that have done really really well this year now that I’ve had them on drip

Irrigation we’ll continue down this border this border I started last spring um I started the actual flower bed the fall of 2021 after the fence was put in but I started planing in heavily in this bed in the spring of 2022 so it’s just over a year old uh this is a

Lemon Squeeze grass by Proven Winners really striking and looks really nice this year I had to plant it from a 4in container cuz I haven’t been able to find it locally yet and another one of those Midnight Sun weila in front of it so you can see that color contrast also

Really nicely here in the Border we got some cat’s pajamas NEPA which are looking kind of rough this time of year could use some cut back this is the little Galaxy agapanthus that pren Winners came out with which is one of the first agapanthus Hardy in zone 6 so

It will come back for you year after year but it’s nice and short it’s not one of those hugely tall agapanthus and you can see it’s blooming right now perfectly at the end of July really nice this is perfect profusion Salvia it’s been cut back once this year

And you can see it’s reblooming pretty well salvas have never done incredibly well in my garden I’m not completely sure why but this one has re bloomed and it’s actually going out of Bloom for its second time so it’s looking pretty good this is a pi uh I think it’s called

Canary brilliant so it has yellow flowers it’s an Ito or ETO peny we have a blue chiffon Rose of sheren you can see what those blooms look like there isn’t that nice coming down the perennial border is some eonia or cone flour called White Perfection you can see how perfect those

Blooms are whoever picked this name did a really really good job at it they’re highly petal but really striking pointy perfect blooms all over the plant you can see they emerge with a little more of a green center here and they turn a little more yellow as they continue to open

Up the Cherry Choco Latte hibiscus is looking rough from the rain this morning as well but it is also blooming it’s head off right now uh during almost summerific week for K and winter so these Bloom of course they emerged pretty late mine got started a little earlier but it’s still blooming about

The exact same time as usual in the garden as it did last year if you’re in the lower States years may have already bloomed out but here in Southwest Ohio they’re just getting started so they’re kind of progress up the country in the hotter zones because they emerge sooner and then they’ll

Bloom out and be done for the season but I do like the foliage on this one it’s kind of dark there are some darker varieties but it’s a nice contrast in your perennial border of course got some Serendipity aliums down here which are looking really great this year really

Impressed with that variety and this Yaro which is soaking wet and I wish it was more beautiful for you for this tour is Peter Cotton Tail maybe you can see here but this Yaro is kind of like a fat baby’s breath as best you can explain it

And it just looks really really nice in a perennial border and great in cuting it’s like a baby breath alternative for flower arrangements uh really really nice plant there this is a red obsidian banana and it is an annual in our Zone you could

Dig it up if you wanted to and take it in the basement I’m typically not committed to those type of things in the garden or that committed anyway but it’s a really nice striking uh texture here right in the corner of this perennial bed behind it we have a rose called rise

Up lilac days it’s a climbing rose by Proven Winners you can see it’s still reblooming this was planted from a 4in container when I planted this border a year and a half ago or so probably no it would have been just a year and a couple

Months ago and you can see how vigorous this Rose is and it looks also really great we do have a little bit of insect damage but otherwise really incredible performer definitely winter uh this is the only one of the rise up series that I have right now but I know that series

Is definitely a winner based on what I’m seeing so far I have a bed with some blueberries in here uh the blueberries are all gone I picked a couple of them there’s also some strawberries down here but the birds may have had a feast on the rest this is a calantha called

Marlet and it has blue flowers over here we have a calam called it’s just a species variety so it’s just calantha uh and it has white flowers and this is a rockar performer for my garden blooms nearly all summer looks like this since it started blooming a few weeks ago and it will

Continue like this and I’ll cut it down in the late fall uh and then it’ll come right back in the spring and solidly perform for you and this area we have some more of that white Perfection eona which if you don’t have this one in your garden

Certainly SE out it is a nice dramatic pop of white around anything else in your garden we have some roses these are uh Italian ice I think this one has a really nice red foliage on it now that it’s starting to regrow a little bit uh

This is a boxwood topiary this is just Green Mountains trimmed into a sphere we have some more boxwood down here and these hydrangeas in the center are called we white they’re a nice short arborescent hydrangea that have done pretty well in my garden you can see they’re bulking up these

Were planted from 4in containers uh and you can see there’s also lots of weeds in this bed cuz we’ve been really busy with moving and I have not been able to get out here and weed like I typically would before my annual big Garden Tour this flocks is called opal Ence I really

Really love this flocks pink uh reblooming it does produce smaller blooms when it starts re blooming but the initial blooms are pretty large and really really nice and beautiful this is one of proven Winner’s new reminiscent series of roses reminiscent white um and it’s really nice even though this Rose is wet so

I’ve told you if you’ve been following along I had a rose in my garden called um what was the name of it I can’t remember but it was a white David Austin uh Rose and it looked awful when it got hit with water it turned brown

And mushy this one even though we had rain yesterday and we’ve had rain today looks still really white and that’s kind of impressive so I’ve kind of avoided white roses since I had the issue with the David Austin one but this is really really nice and striking here

This is a weila as well you can see why I like weila lots of different foliage colors so even though they may bloom in Spring you may or may not buy them for their blooms but you can get some really nice striking texture and fully on the garden uh for color regardless more

Feather Falls grass you can see I’ve tucked those everywhere because I love them this bed is full of Oso easy double pink roses and they I never got around to pruning them back so they could rebloom better they don’t need to be pruned to rebloom but they would

Obviously if they were fed and encouraged to rebloom by pruning but you can see what the color are there they’re nice uh Pink and they do they are double they are are landscape row so um and they got tons of blooms on them that to re Bloom but I would just

Encourage you to come through if you have time and cut them back give them a little feeding and then they’ll do much better a little more hedge of tater tot Arbor down here on the bottom this is the same ones I’ve showed you earlier I have them all over the garden because I

Really love them they’re similar to that green Little Giant that I showed you little giant gets 3 to 4T tall these were originally supposed to get one to two wers to sense changed it so they may be end up becoming a similar size to the Little Giant and a similar look as well

This is a little prenal border here we have some Sedum here this is I think it’s called Margarita um it’s by teranova nurseries it’s really interesting looking the flower heads are a little different than other sedums which is really striking more of the Serendipity alium down here

Um this is a birch leaf spy which looking kind of rough but I had it in containers for years and got it planted out and I think it’s finally getting an established root system to look nicer this is another one of the pugster Butterflies bushes of the series this

One’s white uh really nice these eona which I think I passed by up there are called one in a melon and they’re outside of their normal Bloom period but I’ve showed you in videos over the past several weeks these eonia they have massive bloom so you can see how big the

Cone is opening up there and they’re looking a little ragged and the heat we’ve had but a really really nice one if you can get your hands on it or order online if your local Garden Center doesn’t carry them really really striking eona here we have more of the

Serendipity alium you could tell I love aliums in my garden both for the texture and the blooms uh and they’re just a Workhorse if you don’t have them definitely consider adding them uh they are an onion so they don’t produce like an oniony smell unless you’re digging

Around in them though so don’t be concerned that you are just going to smell like onions they’re a nice rabbit deterrent uh and rabbits won’t Feast on them hopefully rabbit resistant animals will eat anything if they’re hungry enough here is a winecraft black smoke bush uh looking really beautiful you can

See the earlier foliage from the season has turned really dark purple uh the new foliage that emerges is a little more burgundy but still really really striking there’s a limelight hydrangea that I planted here several years ago looking a little floppy from the thunderstorm limelights don’t have the

Strongest stems um but they are one of the older ones they actually is an improvement called Limelight Prime that I’ll show you in a moment that’s supposed to have stronger stems but mine’s not as old so it’s still not developed a really robro Str stem structure but they’re just now starting

To come into bloom line light is the daddy of the hydrangeas the pulas really large blooms that fade to Pink in our Zone it depends kind of on what zone you’re in or what area of the country some areas get too hot and they may just

Brown out ours tend to turn a little pink as we head into Falls so you can see they emerge a little green then they turn white and then they’ll age to Pink these are Millennium aliums these have been in the ground probably longer than

A lot of the others in my garden so you can see how full they are really love them and here we have a proud Berry Coral Berry shrub which is one of my favorite the leaves kind of look like eucalyptus uh a little bit you can see

Them growing along the stem here they’re nice blue color uh but they produce these gorgeous pink berries and you can actually see the berries starting to be produced here so they have these tiny like kind of like insignificant flowers that are pollinated you can see there’s a bee hovering around here now

Pollinating all of these flowers and it has a huge Berry set and fall that can be used to um they look gorgeous for quite a while in Arrangements I’ve used them for those purposes but really nice shrub here and it grows really really well on arzone you cut them down about

12 in to the ground in Spring remove all the old Limbs and then they flush back this big every year this is the blue shadow father Gilla uh really gorgeous shrub you don’t plant it for its blooms or anything it’s planted primarily for its foliage it has this powdery blue

Foliage it did rain on it but you can see back here what the foliage typically looks like uh and really nice striking contrast for your garden on the bottom here we have some Huka some Carrick some cat mint I’m not sure the variety of this one it’s a larger one and then we

Have a hydrange called Pinky Winky and it’s looking really really good this year so the blooms on this one are not quite as big but you can see how big the Bloom on this Pinky Winky is going to be this is going to be a good year for the

Pinky winkies we’ve had a lot of rain but look at that huge huge blooms down here at the bottom there’s a hook called Red Rover which has done incredibly well in our Zone even in full sun so very very beautiful hooka uh that typically are part shade

Plants if we move down here we’ve got some Spas I think this one’s called Big Bang I’m not sure it has really big blooms on it over here we have one called candy corn which is getting probably a little more shade than it would like right now uh

These hydrange just have gotten really really large and then we have more of that white Perfection eona which I stuck everywhere cuz it is just a beautiful pop of color we come around here we’ve got some golden ticket privet which is a beautiful privet by Proven Winners turns

Really striking in the sunlight so you can see the ends of the foliage there nicely tipped in yellow we got one more of those little giant arbori that I transplanted that’s doing really well here and then this red Bud’s really gorgeous it’s called um Rising Sun and right now it doesn’t look

Great in the middle of summer but in Spring and fall it looks really wonderful all the foliage emerges yellow or dark orange so you can see all the new growth here is darker orange and then it changes to yellow and then it changes to Green so in the spring it’s

Really striking and in the fall right now when it’s it’s the hottest part of the season so it’s not putting on a ton of growth but as the season progresses it’ll continue to put more growth on and all that new growth is that color which is really really nice here we have

Another blue chiffon Rose of Sharon that’s looking really great some more of those one in a melon cone flowers and this is Limelight Prime which is the Improvement on limelight that’s supposed to have stronger stems now like I said this one’s still relatively small so it’s kind of floppy especially in the

Rain that we had today but as this one develops you can see these stems are actually really strong on regular Li like this one would probably be falling over but you can see how strong that stem is there so as this one continues to develop it’ll have stronger stems of

Course prune uh by a third in the spring for stem uh thickness and then your hydrange will stand much more upright as it develops heading down this way this is another limel Prime we have more of the proud Berry coralberry which I kind of just tucked in between these Oaks here

These are an oak called uh kindred spirit and they only get three to five foot tall or three to five foot wide and 20 to 30t tall nice privacy screening tree or a specimen tree to add to your garden they do produce acorns so you can see the tiny little acorns being

Developed there but a really nice accent tree for your garden we have an Arctic Sun Dog Wood here that’s filling up the space finally starting to grow and put on some growth I had to plant it from a 4in contain container cuz I couldn’t find it locally uh but looking really

Good now around the patio we have a hedge of Bobo hydrangea which are looking are starting to look really good they’ll continue to produce blooms it’s one of the most floriferous hydranges which I’ve told you several times on my channel and I really love a hedge of these like I said

They don’t have the strongest stem so you can see the little flopping that they’re doing here but underplanted there some more of that Red Rover Rover HRA which has made an excellent uh border for me in the fall it looks like fallen leaves which is really really nice when everything else is turning

Orange and yellow in the garden and then we have these Lim lights on standard which just means tree form here on the corner of the patio and these look really incredible this year really large really striking underplanted by a boxwood uh sphere here that needs to be pruned on

To get it back in that sphere shape some more Bobo hydrangea and this is a Sunjoy Barberry it’s the upright yellow one I think it’s called yellow Tower golden Tower something like that from Proven Winners and then we have a Nandina over here this is red Obsession or just

Obsession Nandina and it changes this nice yellow foliage or red foliage there as it emerges and ages a little bit to more of the green moving along to the last part of the garden tour uh this is a repetition of the same things in the bed I just showed you so limelight hydrangea

Boxwood sphere and we got some various perennials in here with this beautiful Henry Fountain this is called the Grand Regal tier people always ask I really love this Fountain it’s a nice squatty Fountain it definitely looks bigger online than it does when it arrives but

It’s a nice size to tuck into the garden has a beautiful sound Clow pretty well uh then we have some boom chakola uh geraniums here which get way larger than I expected them to some GMS down here and some Salvia this is called back to the fuchsia if you’re wondering um it has

Really beautiful flowers and spring it’s not the best rebloomer for me but I really like it for its spring color and I’ll pop a picture on the screen of what this area looks like because a Salvia and the GMS Bloom at the same time and it’s really striking and that y’all is
