Thank you for your garden knowledge and tour of your beautiful thriving garden that was helpful to me. Landscapers have been here clearing out our land as previous owners were not gardeners. So, all was removed except a Japanese Maple on the side of the house and I will plant underneath the beautiful specimen. A pond was removed and in it's place I will plant a hibiscus and seeing yours I am inspired.

This is my favorite video you have ever posted. Thank you so much for showing us the transition from spring to fall!! This is almost like a class for free!!! I’m so appreciative of seeing all of the progression and grow!! I will be referring to this video frequently! And I am very much in the market for a spirea. I have many photos on my phone of different varieties throughout the year so this year will be a year I decide on a spirea.I love this channel so much and I love you and George sharing with us!

I had 3 little limes and I absolutely hated them. They were 6ft (which was way too big for the spot I had them). And it rains here quite a bit so they always looked messy and droopy. After 3 years, I couldn’t take it anymore so I got rid of them. I would love to try the lamb’s ear. I love spirea but I think the candy corn is too bright for my manicured modern flower bed.

Thanks for gomphrena tip last year. I grew the Atomic Purple this year and loved them too! I already have seeds to grow them again this coming year! And I agree about the soaking. The first batch of seeds I planted without soaking never even sprouted, but the soaked grew perfectly. They are a winner for sure!

@HookedandRooted 6 ай бұрын

Hi Lisa! So glad you enjoyed them, and I agree about the soaking. That was my experience as well. The only ones I don't soak are the batch I do with winter sowing. Since the soil stays more moist in my winter sowing containers, I find that its enough to help break down the outer shell/casing on the seed for it germinate. 🌱

Living in middle Georgia, our hydrangeas go from white to goldy to brown and they do it fast. So they aren't pretty for a really long time as they are for you.

Steph, all these plants are so very beautiful. I was looking so forward to planting my first hibiscus and you decided for me which one. The Perfect Storm. I absolutely love this one. I kinda had already picked this one cause my youngest daughter name is Stormy. And to me she is perfect in every way also I'm going to plant me some of that variety of lambs ear. Deer resistant and rabbit also. We had 2 mama deers this early spring that 1 had twins the other 1 had triplets. O boy, then I read on Google that they cam get pregnant at 6 months old. So there you go. All 7 of them could have babies this spring. My husband and little mini miniature dashound loves them. My husband watches them every morning and every evening. My baby dog loves to bark at them, they are not scared of her. They just stand there and look at her, I think she wants them to play with her. It is so funny, until they start eating my flowers, I don't know what's going to happen this spring and summer. I'm Praying they will get scared of baby dog aka Pedgeeroo. She looks like a little kangaroo jumping out through the field after them deer.

I'm looking to add some lambs ear to my garden this year. Everyone says it spreads like mad so I'm thinking I can save some $$ and just get one. 😉

That sounds like a great plan Anna! And you can try dividing it right out of its nursery container so you can already start with a couple of smaller starts, and by the following year divide and transplant again. You'll have a bunch in no time. Enjoy!

Great list Steph! I currently grow the hydrangeas and trying my hand at the hibiscus which I planted late in the year. I’m placing CandyCorn Spirea on my 2024 list looking to replace Stella de Oro and thought this would add year round interest. Thanks

That is a great idea for a replacement of the stella d'oro daylilies. You'll get a much longer show with the spirea foliage. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Steph, so did you wintersow the gomphrena & did you soak the seeds when you wintersow too? I bought the purple & red ones , can't wait to see them! Yours are gorgeous!!!!

@HookedandRooted 5 ай бұрын

Hi Sandy, Thank you so much! I grew gomphrena by sowing it into soil in small pots, by direct sowing it into the soil after my last frost, and I also grew some with winter sowing. The ones grown with winter sowing do not need to be soaked ahead of time because the containers stay more moist. So that additional moisture will help break down the coating on the seed. However, if you will be sowing them direct, or into small pots with soil, yes, go ahead and soak them anywhere from 12-24 hours before planting/sowing them. Hope this helps. 🌱

This was fantastic Steph! Really helpful to see growth progress and changes during the season. Did you have to deadhead or shear the gomphrena for a second round of blooms? I love hydrangeas so if love to try them both!🌱

Hi there, I never had to do anything to the gomphrena. No deadheading, nothing, they just kept going. Great annual! Hydrangeas are so beautiful, and these varieties are great. Happy New Year! ✨🎆 🥰
