Mid-June Garden Tour. What plants can handle this heat?!

The heat has been hard on some plants with temperatures reaching 100 degrees recently. Some plants thrive in that heat and some just couldn’t handle it. The salvias I cut back are starting to rebloom, the coneflowers are still looking beautiful and the tall phlox has hit their peak. I even have some roses making a comeback 😃

Oh my gosh...same here with the deluge all winter and early spring and now we can't get a drop and we are in a heat wave. Ugh, so hard on the plants and my well! Pretty garden!! We have a lot of the same plants 😊. I'm in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

I am in Southwestern Kentucky. My poor lamium got fried. And I was so excited about it too. 😢 Thank you for your comment ❤️

So glad you said that about your clematis, mine look terrible plus I was wanting to get a new trellis. But was debating whether it would hurt them to cut back now. I may have to do it.

Well… the rabbits sure chopped mine back to the ground. And the poor clematis hadn’t had time to really get rooted in. So, I imagine you can cut yours back and it will sprout new growth. There are three “pruning types” of clematis. So be sure and check your variety and see what it says about pruning. You may have to sacrifice some blooms but it may be worth it to get a new trellis and rejuvenate your plant

Beautiful natural looking garden and containers, Its a pollinators dream. We have had a rainy summer so far this year in Ireland and we watered the flowerbeds for the first time this year last Saturday.

Those buzzers don’t work. You have to use steel stakes and drive them in the ground where they dig and they will not come back. You can buy them at Lowe’s. They work great for me and have had no more problems with moles.

What do you do when they dig EVERYWHERE!!?? Haha. I will definitely check them out. Great suggestion! Thank you❤️

I love the plants you have in your gardens! Does your tree form rose of sharon regrow the stems you remove from the main trunk or is forming it once-and-done? How did your dark leafed astilbe fair after transplanting? My upcoming 10 day forecast is high nineties with "feels like" temps in the 105 - 9's. This is hotter than it has ever been. Voles (small, tailless and so cute) are vegetarians! I had one in my garden and it tunnels and chews on roots. I probably still do have one or two but I don't see much damage but I do see the odd exit hole. Chipmonks also tunnel underground and create the same sort of exit hole. Has your guardian angel hosta arrived, yet?

@letsgrow260 14 күн бұрын

Yes! My Guardian Angel hosta arrived and looks so healthy! I haven’t planted it yet. Been so so hot. Not sure about the astilbe you are referring to. I transplanted a Boom Choco Latta geranium. Should have waited cause we had 100 degree day right after. Poor thing. It wilted pretty bad. The Rose of Sharon will put out some lower branches as you tree form it, however I just cut them off and force it to grow from the top. Now the top of that one I showed in this video is so full, it stopped growing any branches down below. It’s only been in that garden for 2 seasons now. They grow pretty fast. And I may have voles AND moles. Voles are awful and will eat our soybeans in the fields. I have never seen a chipmunk here. As always.. thank you for your thoughtful comment ❤️

@@letsgrow260 Yes it was the geranium I was referencing with the wrong name! I nearly killed my Laced Up Elderberry by trying to transplant it after it wouldn't grow an inch after 3 years. It was still just 12 inches tall. I dug down a shovel's depth but couldn't get it to budge - it had an amazing tap root - It was planted right beside my internet cable and I didn't want to dig any further so I just grabbed it and yanked, breaking the tap root at about the 10 inch length. It went into immediate shock and the leaves were hanging like limp lettuce against the stalk. I watered it twice a day for several days and eventually I went out one morning and it was in perfect condition again. It also began growing a whole foot that year and again last year. This is the third year since transplanting and it is 4 feet tall now and bloomed for the first time. Sometimes a plant just won't let you kill it no matter how hard you try! Lol

@@patbryan602 it just needed some root pruning that you so effectively provided haha!! My geranium is looking better😃. I think it’s going to be ok😁
