- This video shows the border I made, using ideas from the New Wave Perennial Planting Movement, also known as Prairie Planting and epitomised by Piet Oudolf.
I discuss my experience and what I have found to be the pros and cons of this style of planting.

Beautiful combinations! It takes a lot of hard work and a good eye to make a garden bed look so natural and effortless.
Thank you
Such a beautiful border Rachel, all of the plants are so beautiful and I really LOVE the Schizostylis, those flowers are so beautiful and the colour is so gorgeous on them too, gorgeous border and video and all those wonderful plants swaying in the breeze look like they are 'waving' at me on the screen :-) Thanks so much for sharing the beauty and have a FAB Wednesday today XXXXX
Great video, lovely to see first year results and issues. I've only just discovered prairie style and want to integrate it into my new garden.
Best of luck!
amazing prairie plants. thats me. mine peaked in July. now full of little bluestem, goldenrod and New England asters
+Bret Furgason Sounds lovely, Bret.
That was a really interesting, informative and helpful video. Thanks a million!
I am very happy you found it so. Thank you fro watching.
I remember when this book was published and I was excited by many of the design ideas it contained. Interesting to hear and see your experience with applying them. I have always wondered how weed seeds know to germinate amongst plants with similar foliage like you commented on here about grasses and achillea.
Re; weeds. I suppose it has evolved by selection from browsing animals. If they tend to leave certain plants alone, then the weeds that resemble those plants also don't get eaten. I would guess that the seeds somehow sense, chemically?, when they are near specific plants thus being 'safe' to germinate and grow there.
+John OBrien I think you are right, John. I read somewhere too that the weeds have further evolved due to gardeners' intervention. So if we always remove the ones that are easily identifiable, we favour those that masquerade as ornamentals. I don't know how true this is but it is an annoying phenomenon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
as usual wonderful
i like and trust by your experience
+mohannad al madanie We all learn from each other. Thanks for watching.

+Zoraja Musilis Thank you, Bogdanka. I would like a night of sun too :)

+Giovanni Orchids Killer You are most welcome, Giovanni.
Your landscape is so beautiful!
+Dabid Garcia Thank you.
Gorgeous garden, I love that grass with wispy look it's very pretty,And floaty, I used to do a lot of gardening but now through disability thats no longer possible, And hubby is hopeless at it, I asked him once to trim the lower dead twigs off 2 conifer trees And when I saw them he had cut everything off up to approx 5ft and shaped it into a ball, they looked like 2 giant pom poms on a stick, and they never grew back, The neighbours thought it was very funny. Love the flowers that cascade on to the lawn. :)))
+Rosemary457 Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations, Rosemary :)
Interesting comments and a fair assessment of the style, esp. re smaller gardens.
+Vincent Dunne Thank you, Vincent.
💕💕woe very beautifull your planting good garden💕💕
Thanks so much. Such a lovely comment :)
Lovely, we mixed our Dahlias and spring bulbs, herbs, and edibles into our new wave style wild garden surprisingly works well.
Sounds interesting 😊
we go native. usually in areas, for less mowing,less watering, wildlife and trying to undo the invasive massacre that has become normal. (0;
really stunning, I love it. why is it called "new wave?" the juxtaposition with the dahlias is really gorgeous.
+annaiskicking You are right about it being a juxtaposition with the dahlias, Anna, but it's not too jarring, I think. Not sure why it's called 'new wave'. Hmmm, must google that!
That was a beautiful fall garden. I wonder if some earlier blooming annuals would help earlier in the spring?
+Gardening With Puppies Thank you for watching. Just checked out your channel and subbed.
+Gardening at Douentza PS I love your 'garden addict' video. So funny :D
Thanks. Every once in awhile the crazy person who lives inside me rears her ugly head. Thank you for subbing. I appreciate it.
May I ask the name of the red flowering plant? Thank you for sharing . Happy growing!
It is Schizostylis coccinea, a very easy plant, in this part of the world anyway.
Thank you for your support. It is much appreciated.
I have just started a new area of "New Wave Prairie P,lanting" (something tells me I may have overplanted..time will tell). Did you ever follow up with another video a year or two later than this just to see how the bed progressed?
Good luck with your new planting. No, this is the only video I made about this.
Thanks. Fingers crossed. I just love PO's plantings but whether it works at home time will tell. I know for sure I have overplanted (I always do!).
Piet isn't German btw..but Dutch ...never tell a person from the Netherlands that he or she is German ...would be telling an Irish that he or she is English ... 😉😉😉😉
Hi there. I never said Piet was German in the video. But he follows the German style of planting. I know he is Dutch. I lived in Holland for a while myself 😉 Thanks for watching.
German? Piet Oudolf is Dutch
Ik heb nooit gezegd dat Piet Oudolf Duits was in de video. Hij volgt de Duitse stijl van planten.
@@GardeningatDouentza The lady in the video was speaking and not in Dutch, so who are you :-)
@@jetsebutenpost Ik ben de vrouw in de video. Ik heb een tijdje in Nederland gewoond, dus ik weet hoe snel Nederlanders zijn om uit te leggen dat ze geen Duitser zijn 😉
Hate to say it, not my cup of tea. No new wave for me
