Indeed! 😊

Thanks. It is great to hear you found this enjoyable. There's always so much to try to mention and include, that it often takes a little longer.... And of course, it has absolutely nothing to do with a natural passion for plants or "kissing the blarney stone" either!!!! We understand about how you've found some silvery plants don't like your rainy, cold, "gloomy" conditions. Several hail originally from Mediterranean climes, so it is tough to get them to stick around. BUT thankfully😉👏😁, some like the Willow (Salix 'Iceberg Alley') that we feature in this video, are derived from a species (Salix candida) that comes from cold, wet, northern parts of the US and Canada, so it should positively thrive in your 5b garden! Here's a link to another of our videos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eOCgiLSEmK_WcXk.html that will explain a lot more detail about its exciting features and origins. 😉👍

I have my front yard in white - pink - purple combo: arched 14 annabelle hydrangeas for live hedge, two liliac trees in the background, bearded irises, alliums, tree vanilla-strawberry hydrangea and annual white or purple baskets. It looks serene, elegant and beautiful.

Thank you. We are delighted to learn you are enjoying our efforts.

You are very welcome and good luck with your new planting endeavors. It is nice to know that we are helping you to imagine embarking upon new exciting projects. Don't forget to keep us all posted on your progress and (if you haven't already) please click the like icon on any of our videos that you consider worthy, because that helps other people find the information as well.😉👍

@@OverdevestNurseries Because of you I ordered a Deutzia Nikko yesterday. I live in Northeast Oklahoma zone 7 but today it’s zone 3 lol! Ice everywhere. I’ll be sharing your channel with my friends. Thank you again!

Wow, that's FANTASTIC! Take your time, do your research, call in and visit some of the many garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ that stock the plants (in flower and at their peak). Then make your own discerning selections, and in no time (we are sure), you'll be able to enjoy some of the many pleasures of having a gorgeous white, or white and silver garden, that we hope will bring you and your family many years of enchanting pleasure. Can we suggest that you go back and replay the video a couple of times again! Especially the later parts, because there's actually more than 37 outstanding (top performing) varieties that we've tested and trialed over the years, ones that we know do very well here in this region. Then scroll through the rest of our channel, because there's plenty of other good plants featured, that we couldn't include in this video because of duration, its already too long for most folk. And of course (if you haven't already), consider subscribing to our channel, because there's more videos (with even more good plants) coming! Thanks for sharing this exciting news!

Thanks, it is our pleasure. You should see the butterflies when all the coneflowers and buddleias are flowering in the nursery! Busy feeding on the nectar rich plants, they are easy to film and photograph, so it is fun to include little snippets like this.

Yep, David would tell you he hails (originally) from the "greatest wee place on earth" (Northern Ireland). You will be interested to know that our nursery is based in South Jersey (about an hour or so away from Cape May), and of course, we distribute our plants through a network of garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ that are positioned right across the whole of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region.

Thank you. We are pleased to hear you are finding our efforts helpful.

Thank you, it is our pleasure. The nice thing about garden plants is that they don't all have to be purchased at the same time! So compiling your wish list, and gradually whittling down the ones that appeal most as time goes on is what most of us do. It is good to subtly (and considerately) share it with loved ones and friends too! So that when holiday periods, birthdays, anniversaries etc. come around, they know what gifts to get. I know that often one of my biggest dilemmas is trying to decide, what to get someone? So having someone put together a list of things that they really want is really helpful.

Thanks for an interesting question. Like a lot of things in life, the reasons (we believe) are probably many and varied. It is interesting that here in the US, Panicle Hydrangeas have really caught on, and captured the imagination of the everyday home owners. Whereas in the UK (and several other European countries), this hasn't happened to the same extent! This is a little incomprehensible when we consider that British and other Europeans generally, are more "garden orientated", and the first real appreciation of their beautiful qualities happened in Belgium (with the de Belders), and then spread to England, the Netherlands and France. It may be that US gardeners are "ahead of the curve" with this strong (and growing) trend, one that still has to "take off" with their popularity blossoming in Britain and other European countries. On my UK travels in recent years, I think I am seeing more Panicle Hydrangeas turn up in garden centers, nurseries and plantings, and now with shorter, more compact, and earlier flowering selections that have stiff sturdy, wind resistant stems that can support the big heavy, rain sodden heads, you'd think that it is only a matter of time until their universal adoration explodes. Especially with your cooler summer nights and the probably that the pink and red coloring would be even more impressive in your climate. That brings me to my final thought, and that is that I suspect it is related to the differences in our respective climates. In our colder winters and hotter summers, the panicles excel and perform reliably well, almost everywhere. So that as people drive around here in steamy, hot summer days, and see these gleaming (cooling) icy white flowers standing out amongst the often drought challenged landscapes, they recognize that these plants are something that they want to have around their home too! In contrast, in your milder, lush and cooler summers, there's wider selection of plants and colors to view, so the panicles may not stand out as much, especially since their prevalence is not (yet) as often encountered. For our own part, it's exciting to be involved in trialing, picking out and telling people about the BEST NEW selections, then watching them flourish and bring enrichment and pleasure into the lives of everyday Americans. We can only hope (and watch with interest) to see if the Brits and other European home owners will want to enjoy the largely undiscovered attributes of these easy to grow and very beautiful garden shrubs. Thanks again for your interesting query.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply.

Yes, both of these are quite remarkable and very useful in a variety of ways. As you've probably noticed, we have both of them thriving out in full sun, but they will do equally well in shadier conditions too. They are easy to grow, tremendously versatile, and offer wonderful value, so that's why we are glad to be able to let you know about them. Thanks for spotting them.

You're very welcome. It is our pleasure. If you haven't already, can we ask you to kindly click the "like" button on any of our videos that you consider worth it, because that helps other people find the information too. And perhaps, some might consider subscribing to our channel as well.

Thank you. As you can see, we are very fond of white and silvery plants too. I dare say, several of them should be fine with you, but since we don't have any direct experience in your region, we would suggest that you check with local garden center experts. They will know exactly and probably be able to show you, the ones that thrive best.

Thanks for your question. I have never been to "Aussie land" so a good local expert at some of your best local garden centers will probably be more familiar with your conditions and ways to guide you. Here in the US, it is natural to see older florets on several varieties take on beige and brown shades, and some will become nicely burnished which can be quite ornamental. It depends a lot on the conditions and genetic background of individual selections, and that's why we do a lot of trialing and testing to compare how they all perform. To help we make sure to incorporate plenty of organic matter at planting time, mulch to conserve soil moisture, and maybe do some watering at their bases too, when things get hot and dry. Also, finding a spot with a little afternoon dappled or partial shade protection might help prevent the florets "frying" too. FYI, here's a link to another of the videos here on this channel that will help you see how to take cuttings: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pp-BftmiuLbQY6M.htmlsi=YgLiwRecc8jcDFqR. I am working here with a perennial but the principle for these hydrangeas is the same. I would just caution you that several several selections (especially the newer ones) are protected, so it is illegal to propagate them without permission from the introducer. We hope this helps.

Hi David i have been in touch with the mother earth nursery where I bought them from and she states that I can grow cuttings for my own garden but not for sale. The heat here went really up over 100deg and then we had a storm with a lot of rain. so I put a beach umbrella over the bush to keep it dry but I have had a problem with grasshoppers they where eating holes in the leaf,s so I used richgro and didnt think of chemicals wrong thing to do they are even more brown what do I do now I have a lot of flower buds on the rest of the plants Is there something else I should use. Best Regards Patricia Gilbert

Thanks for your inquiry,. This locator link: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ will let you see where all the garden centers that carry our plants are positioned.

That sounds strange, and it sounds like something else is going on beside the heavy pruning! That should not have effected them that way. The Swan is a nice (now older) variety and in its day was quite popular. As you've probably noticed in the video and elsewhere on this channel, during the last few years there's been an explosion of exciting, new selections, so maybe it is time to start doing your research here on this channel and picking out some new ones that appeal to your situation. Our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ are becoming fully stocked with lots of fresh new plants, so be sure to stop in and take a look…. Because that’s where you will discover all sorts of our beautiful, tried and true and cutting edge, top performing selections like David features here on our channel. Presumably you have subscribed to our channel. If you haven't yet, can we suggest you think about it, because we are posting new videos all the time, and once you are subscribed, each time we post a new video it will turn up automatically in your feed.

We are pleased to tell you that there are several garden centers that carry our plants within striking distance of Sayreville. Here's a link that will show you where they are all located: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ Later on this spring (as the weather improves), they will start stocking them, and then as early summer, and the rest of the gardening year unfolds, this will accelerate with regular weekly arrivals. So, it pays to stop in frequently because there will be new, nursery fresh, premium sized plants on display all the time. If there's anything in particular that you have your eye on, it might be good to contact the plant experts at your favorite places ahead of time, to see if they can ear mark them for you.

Aye, as David says .... from the "greatest wee place" 😉💚

@@OverdevestNurseries legend. Beautiful accent.

You're close, actually David is originally from Northern Ireland

Yes, that's true. David hails from Northern Ireland and his accent is over laden with some English and now American twists. It really comes to the fore when he gets excited...., which happens frequently with all the beautiful plants we have here in the nursery. Have you subscribed to our channel?
