How I over-Winter Tropical Plants - October 2023
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2023
- I show my 'tropical' plant border in Summer and Autumn and discuss which ones can be left in the ground and which are frost tender.
My English Garden is near the coast in North-West England, 1/3 of an acre (including the house) Zone 9a with sandy soil.

Good explanation on the hardiness zones! It’s not the absolute lowest temperature ever recorded, just the average lowest. Thank you.
Thank you. Yes, I agree and I think that average lowest temperature is from the previous 20 years or so.
Hi , Paul !!!
Very beautiful !!!❤
Here we are in full bloom of plants 🌻🌼🌹🐝🐝🐝😄
Hi Patricia - what a great time of year when your plants are at their best. 🌸
@@paultsworld Oh , yeah !!!
🌻👍
Wow, what luck! Feeling under the weather and then I get a notification there is a new Paul T video!!! Happy Friday!
Thank you Frankie! Have a lovely weekend.
Earlier this year my brother gave a small Musa Basjoo hardy banana plant and it's still in the pot. I'll be overwintering it in my garage as next year it will be going in the ground here in zone 6b. Can't wait to see it grow! Thanks for sharing!
These bananas are exciting when they start to shoot up - I love seeing the new leaves head for the sky and start to unfurl. Good luck.
Thank you for steel drum music as well.
Glad you liked the music - I thought appropriate for the tropical vibe.
Здравствуйте, Пол! Какой чудесный у Вас сад! Каждый уголочек его неповторим и изменяется в течение года. А птичка малиновка просто Ваш лучший друг и собеседник!
У меня в Подмосковье тоже есть сад. Много роз. Но когда приходит зима,, обязательно укрываю своих красавиц. Температура падает до минус 30. Приходится трудиться, но это ради того, чтобы в следующем году наслаждаться цветением и благоуханием любимых роз.
Good morning - I am pleased you enjoy my garden…and my robin friend.
I am very impressed that you are able to grow beautiful roses even though you have harsh Winters.
Gorgeous!😍👍🏼👍🏼 I’m getting ready to put my cactus, succulents and some tropical plants inside of my house😅 Lots of work, but I love them🥰 I’m looking forward to see you on your next video!🫶🏼💚💚💚💚🌵🪴
I didn’t know you had all these cactus 🌵 and succulents - and tropicals 🏝️- fabulous! 👍🌴
Hello, my dear Paul! Oh, you cannot imagine hw beautiful is to enjoy the beauty of your garden in any season! And the fall season is one of the most beautiful for sure...
Your content is absolutely helpful and useful for the incoming cold season! Thanks for the tips! HUGS and happy weekend, my friend and my huge like to you, as always! Renata
Hello Renata, so pleased you enjoy the Autumn gardens and my video. I wonder if your Autumn has arrived yet?
Have a lovely weekend 🌸🌻
@@paultsworld Finally cllder weather has arrived, after a so warm beginning of Autumn!!
All the best and see you soon, my friend!! Renata
We had record warm temperatures for early October as well! Best wishes from England.
@@paultsworld Incredible....Happy week, Paul and see you soon!
🌸👍 🇮🇹
Hi Paul . I love these tropical plants in your garden they do well for you and you can add more tropical plants and plant them in protect place .Have anice day .🌴
I love the big-leaf look! Have a nice weekend Lina.
Hi Paul. Nice to see you. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Linda!
Hi Paul, lovely video. I am envious of you being able to leave your dahlias and cannas in the ground. Mine must come out and be stored over winter. But I don’t mind. Looking forward to seeing how you prepare your brugmansia for storing. 😊❤️
Hello Vicki, I remember you saying you had cannas - as you lift them I’m sure they grow taller quicker - it’s good when you have a known and practiced Autumn routine. 🌸👍
GREAT TO SEE YOUR GARDEN 🤗 THANKS PAUL FOR EXPLAINING THE ZONE SYSTEM 🧐💚💚💚
Thank you!! I find the zone system really interesting - we actually have our own system in Britain - mainly because virtually the whole of the UK falls into the USDA zones 7, 8, & 9
We used to mash bananas for butties but they didn't look like that! It's good to run through the years an seasons, quite a shock to see what had been - and isn't now. Today we have 'tall trees bending' gales, No central heating: TV and phone signals weak but I won't get high waves here! Thanks for some warmth Paul!
I am always shocked when I compare the Spring garden, which has lots of growth but is spartan, with the late Summer 'jungle' (which I like). Yes, what a day in Britain today!
Super 👍👍👍
🌸👍
Very educational video! Beautiful garden! I have 2 young trees monkey puzzle trees that are supposedly can only tolerate down to zone 7, I’m in zone 6b southeastern Pennsylvania Lancaster. I have one in ground since last year mid summer and it’s still alive. Last year’s winter was pretty brutal we were hit it with some sort of cyclone that dropped the temperature down to -16F which is more than a monkey puzzle tree can tolerate and normally our temperatures is down 10F on a normal early cold morning it’s still alive with some winter damage but still going strong.
Thank you - glad you liked the video. I do remember reading about that really cold spell you had over much of the States last Winter, that is so cold! I hope your tree survives - I suppose sometimes it depends if a thick blanket of snow has managed to insulate the roots.
Thank you for another tour so beautiful garden 👍😊🙏❤️
My pleasure 😊
Good Morning Paul, It is very interesting to see your tropical plants, it gives us all the confidence to plant some in our more frosty zones. I put a canna in to trial last year thanks to your videos and I just had to pause and run out to see how it was going... the slugs are eating it! (out to the shed I go to get the bait) MINUS 10 last winter? Wow, that is so much colder than your last few years. Lots of lovely crisp snow would have been quite novel. I love the Colocasia Pink China, I've never heard of it. It is beautiful. You could be a little bit more nurturing of the banana stems this winter!... you are a tough man! 😜😱 Although you might be quite mild this year, you just don't know. 🙂
Morning Margaret, my goodness - how big are your slugs to take on a canna?!
How has your canna done this last year?
It would be nice if we had one of our ‘usual’ mild Winters this year - especially after the cold of last Winter that took everyone in Britain by surprise.
hahaha not TOO big but it is the sheer number of slugs at the moment. My god these Australian slugs can eat!! It takes a long time for the canna to flower then we get frosts again. It may do better this year, it's going to be very warm. We don't normally get this warm before Christmas. Please may we have a tour of your perennials that you planted from plug stock before the end of Autumn or a back garden tour in general?
Sometimes in Britain the cannas flower really late in the season if we haven’t had a hot summer. I’ve been fortunate in that all the cannas have flowered every year. I suppose the long days up North helps.
I really must think about perennials more - I don’t have a ‘plan’ with them - some get cut back if I’m passing and others get to keep their foliage till a quick tidy up in early Spring. I’ll try and do another late Autumn tour but of course most things will be looking a bit tatty then lol!
Your video came just at the right time as I was thinking I'd like to be in a tropical climate right now! Hearing your music really cheered me up. Great to see such beautiful plants that are thriving in your lovely garden.
It actually feels warmer in the garden looking at these gorgeous leaves! Glad you liked the ‘tropical’ music Wendy.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🌸🌻👍
Hi Paul, I h only tried Cannas once. There never came back. I think the soil was to heavy for them. Love the music and sound effects 😊
I think you’re right Pauline - canna in a container - would that work? 👍🌻
Hi Paul, thank you for explaining the zone system. Love your tropical border. Looking forward to seeing your next video, I have a white Brugmansia . I tried to find a Charles Grimaldi like yours, unfortunately no luck 🙈 Have a nice weekend 🪴🍁
Hi Lil, white Brugmansia sounds spectacular - I wonder how you over winter it?
@@paultsworld I’m not sure Paul, I was waiting to see what you do haha. It’s going in my potting shed, fingers and toes crossed it’ll be fine.
I’m putting my container cannas in the garage on a shelf off the ground. It very rarely gets freezing in there although I do have some insulation to wrap round - and under the pot. Not lost one yet. 🤞
Are you going to take cuttings?
@@paultsworld yes I’ve taken some, they are in water hopefully get some roots soon. I’ll put bubble wrap around the pot.
Success guaranteed! 👍
❤
🌻👍
Nice you can leave tender plants in the ground. I'm in 7b, which has felt like 8a, there are some things I can leave, but I have noticed, they don't seem to come back as tall. My first frost is due in a few weeks, had to giggle at the gasp at black plants.
It will be interesting to see how well the banana pups do over Winter and next year - only my second Winter with bananas.
@@paultsworld
Always love a garden experiment.
Hi Paul, I don’t bring any of my plants inside. I just say to them “The best of British luck to you “ 😂😂
Some of the newer perennials will get covered in leaves /or mulch and a A frame if they are lucky 😂
My strawberry vanilla got it all. 💕
Great video, really enjoyed it. :)
Your plants will gang up on your pampered strawberry vanilla!
You are a hoot Sue - I love that “The best of British luck to you” I’ll try that with mine as they shiver away. 😆
@@paultsworld You are probably right 😩 I will have to do more to protect it, barbed wire comes to mind 😂 She must be protected at all costs 😂.
We have a trumpet vine that hasn’t produced one flower since we got it about 5 yrs ago.
I gave that a stern talking to and said “ if you don’t produce one flower next year, you are dead meat “ Too harsh ? Lol
Then I read it can take 3-5 years to produce flowers 😩.
We’ll see what happens next year. It’s always exciting to see what comes back after winter:)
Winter can certainly thin out the stock! Err…yes - sort of exciting 😆
@@paultsworld Only the strong will survive, especially here :)
😁👍
Hi Paul thanks for another informative video. Not only do we see beautiful plants in your garden ,we also learn how to care for them. I’m curious about the persicaria. Is it a bit of a thug or does it behave and contain itself to the spot you planted it in. I’m thinking of planting it if it is hardy in zone 4 here in Minneapolis Mn. Enjoy the rest of autumn.
Hi Douglas, good ‘ol Persicaria! I’ve just done some googling and I read it’s hardy to -4 f is that any good for your Winters?
I would say give it a go. Worse case scenario keep a bit in an outhouse or so in the winter - plant it out in your Spring and it will quickly do its thing and look great for you very quickly. Yes, it spreads but is easy to pull out. I like it - it’s not a Prima Donna! Good luck.
@@paultsworld Thanks for the info Paul. We can still reach -15f. or worse. I did see it at my local nursery but thought it was a ground cover. I think I’ll try it ,cover it with leaves and let the snow help insulate it. I’ll take your advice and pot some up and put it in a warm spot over winter just as insurance. Take care
You can cut it back to be more like ground cover - let me know how it goes. 👍
👍✨
🌸
Thank you for such an educational video! A few years ago I started leaving some of my dahlia tubers in the ground. It is a little bit risky but I am willing to take the risk because I do not have any expensive dahlias. I have been lucky so far. I live in zone 7b.
That’s interesting you have over-wintered dahlias in the ground in zone 7b - remind me what your soil is like - I think it’s loamy and well draining?
@@paultsworld It's bone dry, extremely poor, sandy and slightly acidic (I think). We no longer have real winters here; I remember it used to start snowing in November, even in late October, and the temperature went down to minus 10, 20, sometimes minus 30 degrees Celsius. We often couldn't open the gate in the morning because of the amount of snow that had fallen at night. The snow usually melted in late February or early March. Nowadays there's hardly any snow at all and the temperature is usually just a few degrees below/above zero. Dahlias wouldn't have stood a chance back then.
@@englishwithanerudite I can see now how your dahlias are OK in the ground with it being a dry soil. I wonder if now you are still in zone 7a. People round the world are talking of their area ‘moving up’ a zone. From 2012 to 2021 I was probably 9b but last Winter was a 9a maybe even an 8b! Lol good job it’s taken over at least a 20 year period - otherwise we’d be changing zones every Winter!
@@paultsworld You're right, I might have changed the zone. The lack of snow equals the lack of water in the soil in spring and the much lower level of ground water. All the old wells in private gardens are now completely dry here. The only plus of the situation is that I can save a bit on the heating.
As you say, the change in the snow levels and climate has ramifications all along the line. I am amazed that your Winters are getting so mild even in continental Europe far away from the coast. I remember you once saying that some of the birds are changing migration habits. We have blackcaps over winter in the garden now, when in the past they migrated to Africa for the Winter.
😀👋👌
Thank you 🌸
Thanks Paul for a very interesting video. My cannas are in pots 😢. I live in the North of France zone 9b oceanic, I think it would be wise to take them in if there are cold temperatures forecast. What do you think?
That's an interesting question Kim. As you know, all mine in the ground stay OK where they are. However all the ones in pots are cut down and go into the garage.
I did leave one big pot (barrel) with a glorious and massive musifolia - banana-leaf canna mostly outside and then I thought better of it half way through Winter and managed to roll it into the shed. I lost it! It went to mush. It was the heavy rain that did it in, not the cold. I should have given it a fighting chance by covering it with a tarpaulin to let it get - and stay - fairly dry.
If you can take them into an unheated place, then that would be safest - otherwise I would mulch and cover them to stop the rain and worst of the cold. They don't want to be bone dry - like dahlias - but I don't water mine in the garage - I just trust that the residual moisture will see them through - which it always has...so far.
@@paultsworld thanks Paul 😊
