Hi everyone. Susie here from Minnesota, zone 4b taking you on a tour of my flower containers. I started most of these plants from seed, which I bought from swallowtailgardenseeds.com. Most are looking great and some needed a cutback in July. Sorry about the Cicadas, but I had done an earlier tour and the footage was flipped sideways and wasn't able to be saved. They are just extremely loud in the afternoon and evening. Hope you enjoy and can hear me with all the buzzing.

Susie I was the one who asked you about the mahogany splendor. Mine is just one shoot in the ground growing straight up. No side shoots. 6 ft tall. Funny looking. The ones in the pots filled out better, but I will definitely be pinching them back next year and only growing them in pots. I ordered a bunch of geranium and petunia seeds because I found this year that I grew a ton of neat flowers then still went out and spent a bunch of money on the staples(geraniums and petunias)! You definitely inspired me with the ones you grew this year! Sorry you had trouble with your garden tour video. 😢. I was just thinking I hope she puts out a new tour soon!

When I grew Mahogany Splendor in the ground, I also had 1 shoot, but it only grew to maybe 2 feet tall. It was pathetic looking. I will be placing a seed order soon. I have so many ideas for next year. Thanks for watching

I’m on my 3rd year of growing Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus from seed and just love the colors it gives! In trying to improve my methods and placement, I wanted to share what I do to keep it from looking like one shoot and more like a bush. Pinching the shoots when there are enough true leaves definitely helps it bush more-along with transplanting them in a pot with potting soil. I calculate a single “bush” by putting 5 seedlings together in a 6” diameter X 6.5” deep container and space the seedlings evenly around the edge. When it gets big enough (12”-24”), I plant several containers 12” apart (16” on center) to create a nice swath. I have 5 containers planted this year and plan to do more next year😊. Also, I placed them in an area where they get both morning and evening sun lighting up that gorgeous color from different angles 😍. They do like a lot of water, so low spots in the yard help too.

Wow! Just beautiful! Your coleus are all stunning! I saved seeds from my marigolds, zinnias and nasturtiums last year and I'm so happy I did. We got rid of our pool this year, so I gained a new garden space. It would have cost a fortune to buy plants, so I just got out my seeds and went to town!

@floralnhardy7332 10 ай бұрын

I bet your new garden space looks great. That was a great idea. Plant prices are getting to be outrageous. Thanks for watching.

Looks fantastic! You have inspired me to try to overwinter some coleus and take cuttings.

Oh man, that grasshopper was the size of a humming bird!! Beautiful gardens, looks like things are adapting to the tree situation 😀

@floralnhardy7332 10 ай бұрын

The grasshoppers are huge this year. Most of my plants are doing good. I only have 1 Hosta that didn't make it this year, so far. Thanks for watching.

Just gorgeous! Susie, I missed the name of the beautiful caladium in the front garden bed. Can you let me know? I would love to try that one next year in a container. It is so eye catching!!!

@floralnhardy7332 10 ай бұрын

The Caladium is called Red Flash. I get my caladium corms from floridaboyscaladiums.com. I had a few issues this year, but I will continue to order from there. Thanks for watching.

I also am not very happy with mail order lately. At least the last two years or so anyway. I order plants expecting them to be what I ordered and when they bloom it’s totally NOT what I ordered. SO FRUSTRATING! Companies just want to fill orders sending whatever to do so and it’s really putting me off of ordering from them again. 🌺💚🙃

@floralnhardy7332 10 ай бұрын

I had so many issues this year with online ordering, that the only company I still order from is Great Garden Plants. I just don't order shrubs. Too tiny. Thanks for watching.

@wesleyhackney 10 ай бұрын

How did you get those red caladiums planted with the Coleous to get so big. That’s smazing

@floralnhardy7332 10 ай бұрын

I just plant the caladium corms close together and eventually they all start to grow taller. I do select taller varieties with bigger leaves. Thanks for watching.
