You remind me so much of my aunt your eyes are a blue like hers it may sound stupid but I watch this and think of her as you talk. This plant was her favorite color. I'm feeling so emotional because tomorrow is the anniversary of her passing. So this is perfect timing

Laura, your eye for design and color amazes me. Even though I cannot grow most of what you plant (I'm in zone 9b), your videos are still inspiring me to step up my game for a beautiful landscape!

Just fast forward to 4:30 mark lol. Thats when she finally talks about the smoke bush

Thankyou for showing us there is beauty in small bushes and shrubs, as well as plants where foliage is the focus. Using these types of plants is a great way to help us get out of our plant comfort zone. Personally I tend to go for plants that have bright flowers and also flower all summer. Great video Take care.

Laura, your hair looks so pretty and healthy! Your little guy is making you glow!

I love going out into the garden after a rain! The colors are so vibrant!

Can't wait to get one of these little guys next year. Love your mix of colors.

What easy to care for plants can you show us for Florida lost all plants because of hurricane .. any advice would be great. Thank you and you look wonderful and say thank you to your hubby for digging those holes. Maybe he can continue to dig them for you after you have the baby😁

Love all the different colors and textures in that area. Gorgeous bush! 😍🍂🍁🌻😍

Was wondering how your asparagus was doing? Love sitting back and drinking a cup of coffee and watching your videos!

What a great color! Thanks for letting us know about this cultivar.

Learning so much from you Laura. Thank you for all you do!!

Always love your videos with shrubs, trees, and flowering plants. Great landscape design tips. Thanks for the great video!

Hello! Thanks for your videos, I just subscribed. I didn't know you were in Oregon, Zone 5! For some reason I thought you were in NC. Now I can follow your lead when I can because I'm in Illinois, Zone 5, too! Thanks again! 💖

I LOVE all the color in that area!!!

Fantastic Smokebush! Love the leaf shapes on them! Planted a Smoke Tree myself this year... Can’t wait to see it grow!

I bought this plant this week in sale 🙈 the space is not ready at all. Our outdoor enclosure for our indoor cats will arrive in 3 weeks and originally I wanted to plant around it in the spring but there were sooo Many plants I wanted... Around 12-15 plants + tulip bulbs 😂🙈 THANK YOU LAURA haha your excitement is contagious

I love smoke bushes!! It will be beautiful!!!

I always love and look forward to watching your videos. You both do a great job! 👍😍

I enjoyed this video because I am making a list of plants that will give me not only blooms, but pretty foliage in the fall. We are building a pergola in our backyard next spring and probably building a raised bed for flowers and plants. I also want to have a fire pit somewhere because I enjoy sitting outside in the fall and think the grandkids would enjoy roasting marshmallows. P.S. Can't believe that you're already six months along; you look great!

Hi Laura...your videos are excellent. ..so natural and real...very enjoyable. .ty...

I love that smoke Bush! Unique plants, first time I saw one was in Cottage Grove RV Resort, Cottage Grove, OR. They have gardens at that resort you can stroll through.

i love your cat so much. take care love you'r landscape!

Love smokebush trees/bush.

I was shocked when u said you are 6 months. I actually went looking for your tummy. Well, you take good care of yourself strong girl.

I'm in a zone 9A :'( ...... but I love seeing these type of dark purple red trees and bushes. ^^

What a pretty bush I think I will purchase one for my garden.

This will be the perfect shrub to replace the old, worn-out forsythia on the back corner of my house! Full sun and low water requirements, hoorah! Thanks!!!

I really like that Smoke Bush! Going to have to find one of those! Thanks! Oh, and your gardens are looking beautiful!

Beautiful! Love your videos!! Learning so much.☺

AS always LOVE your videos. Bennie

I'm getting one next spring - I had a big one at last house - I love the smoke bush - so bueautiful

The modren blush is a universal host for black spot so it will defoliate pretty severely during the summer. I'd recommend looking for a more resistant cultivar unless you want to spray/dust with fungicides often. (Unless it doesn't matter)

My mum always wanted a smokebush but the varieties available here are too big for our garden. Unfortunately I couldn't find any shop that sells the variety you planted here in Germany :c The spot you picked for it is gorgeous, though!

I love your willow! I have one, but yours always looks so glorious. I think that my willow isn’t getting enough water or too much sun. I was wondering how you take care of it! The smoke bush is so pretty.

Hi Laura, Love your videos. You mentioned several of your followers seemed to be using gravel or other things when planting bulbs. These ideas may be coming from Great Britain's Gardeners World TV show, You can find it on KZfaq. It's hosted by Monty Don who uses "grit" to plant everything. The soil is clay and it rains a great deal so to keep the bulbs and roots from rotting they have to assure a lot of drainage additives. I hope this helps. Keep up the great videos.

I've always wanted a Fat Albert blue spruce!!!

Hi I lived in tropical country don't be jelly 😂😂😂 Please do more succulents and cacti ❤❤❤

Oh, those plump rose hips. You must have lots of them. Have you ever made rose hip jelly? It has a mild, honey-like flavor. I'm so glad this smokebush is hardy for my zone 4 climate. I may have to find a spot for it. I love the "flowers."

I planted the Black smoke bush trees 25 ft. apart along my narrow lots for privacy . I'll cut them back after blooming because they get huge ! I need ideas for the foreground ? White buddlias , Boomerang's lilacs , spring bulbs will be in this fall . I have pink and lavender Tall Phlox to transplant along with the new lav/ blue pillar Rose of Sharon pillars at one end ×2 . I'm working hard to transform this bed by rerouting the overhead gutter draining to the edge of this bog to prevent over watering although the pillars tolerated it well in their first year .. I may need to transplant them on to drier soil 2 ft. away . Any ideas would be appreciated! Love learning from both of you ❤

Hey Laura, how about an update on how this plant looks now?

I need to make a list of plants to buy. You have so many plants I would like to try. Especially the smoke bush.

really pretty

Thanks for the recommendation on this. Can you provide an update on how this guy is doing in your garden? I've seen him in your tours, but I don't recall that you've mentioned an update. I've planted 2 in my garden so far this year! And I want more!!!!

The COuntry max near my town is charging 60$ for that plant. So beautiful

So beautiful! I love Weeping Willows too! Could you do a video on planting and care?!

I would love to see some pregnancy updates!

beautiful!!!

Such an enchanting plant! I may have to get one for my secret garden. I wonder if it would do well in a shade garden...

Nice vid as always ! CHeers from France

Love it's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your weeping willow doesn't look overwhelming. Is it a smaller variety? I have a small yard and would love one but afraid it'll be too big

Darn it! We miss out on all the fun stuff up here in Zone 3.

Does Aaron or you do any kind of edging around your flower garden? It looks so nice the way the grass goes up to your mulch.

Could you plant this variety at the foundation of the house since it is the small version?? Need something for an outset on our foundation that provides color besides green, thanksLove watching you and have learned a lot!!

Do you trim your weeping willow at the front? We planted one last year. Still quite small and cant wait for it to look a fraction as pretty as yours!

I need to look into this brown tubing with the holes. But the fear is the holes will clog.

Love this bush wonder if it will do well in Florida?

What about that blue spruce next to the weeping willow? Aren’t they going to compete for sun and water?

Loving all of the videos. Can you give advice what I should do with a space that has a septic and drain field? Thanks

Love watching your video's !! Where is that baby bump you hide it so well lol .. God bless you and your family thanks for sharing with us !!

Beautiful garden. I did something very similar and was just looking to smokebush to add some red /black next to fat Albert. How's is it looking now? Does it die down completely in winter? Zone 8a here

Hi Laura Great Vids an ideas OMG i live in ontario also its so awsome to see somone in our town doing awsome things!!! i also do vlogs an just had a question for you what do you use to keep your camera so steady ?

I love your videos I will miss them when you have your sweet baby! I shared one of your videos on fb and come to find out you go to church with my sister in law! How exciting so jealous she could go to your nursery! I would love to get your address to send you baby gift! I love to garden as well as crochet baby blankets!

I'm getting ready to plant one but as I revisit your video I was surprised to see that you didn't mention putting any fertilizer in. Did you not put fertilizer in or did you just forget to mention it?

Omg! Do you get to grow your own Christmas Trees?!

Planting a normal sized smokebush looks far better, can Easily be trimmed to any Size you like, they.make a beautiful structure in your garden in the right place....

Can you do a video with episcias!? Thank you for your videos!

I find it interesting that you planted water loving _Iris_ next to a giant water-loving _Salix_ . Do you water that garden often?

Good morning I wondering if you have any suggestions on trimming a large Blue Spruce it's getting wide and very tall I had it for years can my landscapers trim and shape it with no harm to it? Thanks😊

That's a really late transpant! Did it last the winter ?

Cool

Can we make a smokebush into a tree...how to prune it to make it into a tree form

I am living in zone 5. And would love to have a shrub that has great fragrance, changing color along the year and about 6' to 8' high for privacy. Can you recommend me one?

Hey I just planted some muscari in my garden and they have started growing. I'm just wondering if this will hurt there got next year?

I’m in zone 7b, what is the best time of year to plant these?

Where can a you get the bush?

I have a smoke bush.. and I just cut it back.. its small.. Are people just too lazy to prune?

🍁🍃🍂🌿🌾

Wouldnt it have smelled!?

Лаура,знаешь ли ты растение morinda?
