i love that you are the voice of these plants for what they want and need. You make me laugh too! Listening to you is always a peaceful time in my house. Thank you for making these videos.
So nice of you... thanks for watching!
I will never drive by a planting of Karl Foerster switch grass again without thinking of you, Roy Diblik!
I guess that's a good thing! thanks for watching!
Love this video as well. Hope more and more people can understand and enjoy it.
thanks for watching!
Love your shows and love the way you speak up for the plants! Learned heaps from your way of looking at plants and now I actually feel confident enough to plan and start developing a shade garden using a carex matrix. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Very kind of you...I know you can do it! thanks for watching!
Sunday morning "church", communing with Roy and plants! Wonderful!
You have inspired me to try, for the third time, to plant me front part sun/shade slopping front yard. Thank you.
Thank you for showing us how your mind works in choosing plants to be next to each other and considering the growth rates over the years. You are a very helpful teacher and I really appreciate you. And now I can allow my son-in-law to have some Karl Foerster grasses in his new garden after all!
I have watched Northwind Perennial Garden from day 1 grow into magnificent gardens of inspiration! I am loving your u tube educational presentations! Thank you!
After Rockford’s Bell Bowl disaster this month ~ Roy’s UA-cam classes help re-motivate my goals in preservation. Glenview’s Airfield prairie
I would love to learn what the resort did not do to care for the garden you installed, and then, what your team did to properly care for it.
I have been gardening for over 50 years, and I do “ listen” to what each plant tells me about its growth and its needs. Without a large area to plant patterns, I must be content with planting every new plant I find and finding how it relates to the surrounding plants while creating beauty.
Coreopsis verticillara Zagreb and Golden Showers thrived in my garden for over 20 years, and I finally removed almost all of it in order to try something new in that spot. In order to keep a long bloom period, I would painstakingly deadhead EACH tiny flower throughout the summer😆
These presentations are like taking a Masters degree in a particular type of horticulture. Many thanks for the care you put in to them.
If only it were possible to find any of the plants you talk about near to my home in Upstate NY. Even the few real nurseries seem to grow and carry, only the usual “ big box stores” selection of plants.
The resort maintenance crew didn't have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the planting to care for it properly. Some plants were allowed to reseed and take over. Watch for a video that recommends several resources for perennials coming out soon.
I’m blown away by your understanding of plants. There are those of us who plant and very few who garden. I feel like I’m in a college class that I don’t really understand yet, but determined to grasp a portion of. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge. I took notes and can’t wait for spring to arrive.
Wonderful! thanks for watching!
Loved this Roy! I hope someday soon you can make a comprehensive book on more plants you’ve had experience with since your last! Your first one is a bible to me
Great idea! thanks for watching!
I learn so much from you! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Roy I loved this so much. My calamagrostis are so grateful for your words of support. ❤ I have such a love hate relationship with Phlox, I have Eva Cullum and she’s just so brassy I mean, she really leans hard on that trumpet magenta, and the powdery mildew. 😅 But her foliage is beautiful in the spring, and kind of special in the mix, and she’s a leading lady come July. I think I’ll be moving her to the creek bank this summer. Thank you for recommending blue fortune.
wonderful! thanks for watching!
I am a new devotee Roy thank you for opening this world to me; all the while right under my nose. I love the approach of really learning plants. This will take some time. In the meanwhile, I have a question for a newly made garden bed. We brought in 55 yards of screened top soil last fall to fill a very low area of the yard. I have many pieces of an Amsonia hubrichtii I moved from another bed, I love the texture and movement of this, so unusual for a shrub. Here are my thoughts, since you mentioned the Geum ‘Prairie Smoke’ how it will run until it bumps into the roots of another plant and then move and run in another direction, essentially filling in and keeping the weeds down and what a beauty. I will require seeds for so many required plants on a budget. I’m partnering it with a few continus Winecraft black shrubs as they like the alkaline soil conditions here. I also have a geranium ‘Kaya’ to be partnered on n the mix. The Prairie Smoke and Kaya will top out at about 12 inches tall. I really want the specie Achillea ‘Millefolium’. I found seeds for this at American Meadows. The plant description stated anywhere from 12 to 36 inches tall. Bless them for their warning about their ability to take over an entire meadow in a mere 2-3 years if widely sown. I do not want just millefolium. I am listening to you Roy. Do you think the Prairie Smoke and Kaya can hold their own against the millefolium if I give them a year’s head start? Or I could weigh how MUCH I want the millefolium and just keep thinning it, and this is not quite in the vein of your ideas though. I appreciate your weigh in. Thank you for your wonderful insights and kind manner. Much love from Mid Michigan, Lynn
Every plant pattern you use is appropriate and beautiful, however, they work well for large open areas. Most home gardeners have beds or borders of limited length and depth and so the numbers of plants you use in a 6x5 area, need to tie in with plantings within a small overall garden space. Very few of us can plant many of each plant before we run out of space. Since most home gardeners want color from end of May thru end September, I find that I use annuals to tie the perennials together, and use flowering shrubs as my main backdrop.
Your videos give everyone interested in gardening so much to think about and incorporate into the coming season’s joyful gardening. 👍
Great comment. I'm planning out a foundation planting ~5' x 25' right now and am trying to take found information and translate it into what I envision. Hard to know what will give consistent seasonal interest, but I think Roy is right in saying we shouldn't fear experimentation. No such thing as a mistake, only lessons.
Brilliant! My note pad is full!! Thanks Roy.
wonderful! thanks for watching!
Great combinations and information, thanks! I did buy several Sesleria plants 2 years ago, very nice grass. Gillenia is a plant I will try this year, i have quite a bit of woodland area. Looking forward to your upcoming Yerkes video!
wonderful! thanks for watching!
Hi Roy, I would love to use the 'Blue Paradise' Phlox but I have two concerns: one is the potential for spider mite and the other is grazing deer. I would appreciate your thoughts on these. Thanks. I am so grateful to have the deeper dive on the plants.
People are out there embarrassing their poor stachys in front of their friends 😭😂
Loved this, Roy. Referred here from Impatient Gardener. Have spent summers in Williams Bay past 20y, love your work in Fontana and by Coffee Mill!
Would these combinations work under a very large, old maple that is limbed up and gets plenty of afternoon light, maybe starting 8 ft from trunk? It’s a boundary line, would love to block view of neighbors. Need to see about amending soul, adding compost, I presume. Thanks!
Maples typically have large leaves and cast dense shadow so it would have to be your judgement about how much light is available. Most of the plants discussed in this video ask for at least partial sun. thanks for watching!
Thank you! Great information! I hope you have more if these 'deep dives'. One question will the prairie drop seed reseed easily? I had a sea oat grass, it was beautiful but it reseeded everywhere.
drop seed does not reseed very much...unlikely you'll have an issue with it. thanks for watching!
@@RoyDiblik thanks!
I hope you're right that the era of wood mulch is over. So many clients think that their gardens look "tidy" when mulch fills the empty spaces without realizing that all the empty space is there because of the repeated mulching! Some "landscapers" start mulching plantings in March as soon as there's a warm day - I'm in Z6 - which promptly suffocates the crowns of many perennials. When a plant is all alone in a sea of wood mulch it is begging for some buddies.
so true... thanks for watching!
I would like to ask a favor. Could you provide clarification as to why, when thinking deeply about the plants, you're not including the insect and bird ecosystem they are a part of? I appreciate your design sense but wish you would address the ecosystem of the plants and how they can support an ecosystem. We can do all of it, create beautiful gardens with straight native species (that support what insects and birds thrive on) especially when we're curious and want to understand the deeper story of plants and the ecosystem we are negatively impacting. Thank you!
I do consider those issues. However, I know I am not an expert on the topic/s so I rely on collaboration with those who are, like Gerould Wilhelm, who I have done several UA-cam shows with. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
