I think all gardeners go a little crazy in January! I am at the top of the zones for a ninebark, but I purchased Tiny Wine Physocarpus after seeing it at P. Allen Smith's home in Arkansas several years ago. It does much better in a pot and stays pretty small. Mine declined after I planted it in the ground, and I finally dug it up and put it back in a pot this spring. It has a few foliage sprigs, so maybe I can revive it. I put my amaryllis outside every summer and lift them in the fall. Last year, I pulled them out of the put in mid-November and placed the bare bulbs in a pot in my windowless storage room off my garage. Of course, I forgot about them until I noticed bloom stalks on these bare bulbs about 3 weeks ago. At that time, I potted them up and have enjoyed the blooms indoors. I think you can lift them sooner (August?) if you want to replant them for Christmas bloom. I prefer my amaryllis to bloom in January and February after all the Christmas decorations are packed up .
I love when my amaryllis bloom after Christmas too! Good to know about the tiny wine doing well in a container!
Wanted to try keeping my amaryllis bulbs. Now I have the info. Thanks.
Glad to help!
I put mine in the garden after they bloomed inside 2022. They are currently blooming in the garden now. I’ve decided to just enjoy them outside.
I might do that!
🎵 In West Philadelphia, born and raised, on playground where I spent most of my days 🎵
Now I'm going to be singing that all day! Lol.
Love pulmonaria and lamium! I'm year two at working on a woodland garden and those two plants along with huechara seem to be my theme. Can't wait for a shade garden update.
😂😂😂 love myself some Fresh Prince of Belaire!
That’s a great container. Great idea putting them all together. Glad you mentioned not to overwater. Specially in non porous containers like terracotta. They will rot.
🌷🌷🌷
The unboxing was hysterical 😂.
🌷🌷🌷
Florida loves Amaryllis in the ground! I have literally hundreds I brought from my mother’s. I may dig some up in the fall and try them. Thanks for the idea🌷
That is awesome!
Hi Amanda and good day to all in the community from Canada :) you made me chuckle as I too forgot I had ordered some plants from a Canadian grower that I had ordered last fall :) Also, can I just say that I truly admire your garden book…mine wants to be like yours when it grows up 😂
My garden book is currently in its early twenties … motivated but a little scattered by the new experiences 😂
I have wanted the Pink A Blue Pulmonaria for a long time too! Love that plant! Still have never seen it in garden centers in North Texas. I did, however, find Pink Chablis Lamium just this past Saturday at Calloway's Little Elm in case any of your local viewers would like to buy it! PW plants are also on sale at Calloway's until tomorrow, so it would be 20% off! For your Amaryllis, they will LOVE being outside during spring and summer! I actually did an experiment and planted mine in the ground last spring, and it thrived during spring and summer, and it survived the winter in a sheltered location and is blooming prolifically right now!!
I might try leaving some amaryllis outside during the winter and see how they do! Now I need to go to Calloways!
I keep looking at my amaryllis everyday thinking I need to do something with them. We'll see if I ever do lol
So many other things going on!
Loved your plant selections from Garden Crossings! Thanks for the Amaryllis tips getting ready to try this too 😊
You are so welcome!
Good luck with the amaryllis, can't wait to see the results!
Thank you!
I LOVE alstromeria!
Same!!! I am so excited to add it to my garden!
The lull in gardening over the winter is probably what tricked you into making such a large purchase! I also have planted dicentra this year, but I got bare roots. I hope yours thrives once it's in the ground!
I grew two from bare roots as well! They both did well and I gave one away to a friend and still need to plant the other.
Good ideas
Glad you like them!
I'm so excited that you are experimenting with over summering the amaryllis. I am as well (in GA zone 8b) and like you, have no where to put them that is cool when its time for dormancy. It gave me encouragement to hear your plan. I hope we are both successful. 😊
Awesome! I’ll be sure to post about my process!
Love the plants you purchased from PW 😍 looking forward to see how they grow in the landscape
Me too!!
So enjoy watching your down to earth videos! I can at least identify with your style of gardening rather than some over the top types where professionals come in and do all the grunt work.😂😂 I being the "grunt" have to rely on this Ole body to do the digging, trimming and watering so thank you.
Thanks so much! I spend time on my heating pad every night because of my grunt work 😂😂😂
I just looked at my amaryllis this morning and was going to ask when you were going to work with yours. Perfect timing!
Maybe you have some notes in your January part of your journal to jog your memory on the new plants. I use most of those in shade, so possibly you were thinking of your shade garden.
I've started to step away from online ordering, but I will if it's a plant I can't seem to get here, like you did with the alstroemeria.
And of course I did not write anything down 🤦♀️
Wow, you’re totally reading my mind! I was just thinking I needed a refresher on trying to save amaryllis. Then you opened your new plants and there’s my Alstromeria and Pink a Blue which I bought last year and loved so much I ordered more of this year. (Not sure the Alstroemeria will come back in my zone 6b but I couldn’t resist.). Then you pulled out El Niño and you blew my mind. Mine should arrive soon and I’m scrambling to figure out where to put it. Thank You!!
We are on the same page with plants!!!!
I did this last year with my Amaryllis bulbs and I actually got some blooms in the summer and all the bulbs beefed up and did bloom. I also did it with two that were covered in the wax and grew all new roots and bloomed. Good Luck
Thanks!
Your video on amaryllis came at the right moment. I have some bulbs looking sad on my dinning room table, but didn’t know how to revitalize them.
Yay!
I have bought from Proven Winners for 3-4 years now. Each year I try to cut back on my order size; as I find more and more selection at my local Garden Centers. I do however order a few plants that I can't live without and I stress that the delivery needs to be timely as I've seen some orders take over 7+ days and that's pretty hard on the plants. This year I got Bit of Honey, False sunflower. Prairie Winds Lemon Squeeze. Drops of Jupiter oregano. Firefly Peach Sky yarrow. El Brighto Coleus. Superbena Sparkling Amethyst. Diamon Snow Euphorbia and Lemon Coral sedum. These plants just add to the selection that I can find locally or that I start from seed. I'm a huge fan of Proven Winners, they are great performers in the garden or containers. It's just that shipping that can take a toll on the young plants. Good luck in the garden, I can tell you've been super busy this year!! 💚🤍
Shipping is so hard on plants! I know companies are working on new ideas so you just have to take the online ordering with a grain of salt. Yes, typically Proven Winners plants are good performers!
My tiny wine ninebark has done great in zone 7b New Mexico. I think if you give it enough water and some afternoon shade it will do fine for you. I bought it for foliage accents in arrangements but I learned you sacrifice the beautiful vase shape of the bush if you prune it, and I LOVE its graceful shape.
Good to know!
It was back in January when we were not doing a lot gardening (Gardeners math 😁😁)
Agreed 😂
Good morning!
Good morning!
These are unusual finds so that’s probably why you ordered them! Love Garden Crossings, they also have a great UA-cam channel. I ordered from them last year and was so happy with the quality. Btw, Menagarie rose farm is having 50% off bare roots!
I love watching the Garden Crossings channel! So much great info!
I also forget what I have ordered in winter. I've had a tiny wine ninebark for 3 years. I'm in 7b (Md/Dc) and it has done beautifully in full sun. Last year I tried bringing 2 amaryllis back. One made it and one didn't. The one that made it was enormous and has put out several bulblets. This year I am going to try 6. I also had trouble pulling them out of containers and have plenty of dead leaves. Last year I forgot to fertilize so I need to remember this year. You're right they are ridiculously expensive. Goodluck with yours. Love the container.
I would be thrilled if 50% of my amaryllis made it!
I’m in zone 8B and my friend here has amaryllis that are about to bloom. She was telling me about them just yesterday. However, I have several planted throughout my gardens just like she does and mine have never bloomed. Mine have pretty foliage but that’s all. 💁🏻♀️
They might be planted too deep or might not receive enough sun.
I’m also guilty of impulse buying sometimes you get that rush of buying something that gets you so excited and forget how much you actually spent 😂 it’s all worth it especially if you can’t find elsewhere. I have a huge collection of amaryllis they do well in containers mine have side shoots so they keep multiplying I’m zone 9b/10 so I keep mine outside and come back with a new flower every year I have tried letting them go into dormancy and got a second bloom in a year it’s too bad they only bloom once or twice a year when not in bloom I tuck them away somewhere in the garden not to visible and show them off when in bloom ❤
So true! Especially in January, I want all of the plants!
I have used.
Romance gardens and plant addicthey both do a great job in shipping. But the pricing is better at romance gardens. Both are easy and nice to work with. And I also found my romance garden.Plants were a little bigger than the plant addict period good luck with your gardening
Thanks for sharing, I’ll go look those up!
Hey Amanda! 👋🏼 Loved seeing the new plants you ordered! I bought a PW Summer Wine Ninebark last year on clearance from Lowe’s and also plan on putting mine in a container soon. Very much looking forward to the beautiful wine foliage and spring blooms! 🪴 I’m sure you’ll love your Tiny Wine. Question…where did you buy the troughs you have in your backyard?
Yay! I’m excited to try it now! The troughs are from Tractor Supply.
@@shesamadgardener Looking forward to seeing your Ninebark grow as well. Thanks…I’ll check out the troughs at Tractor Supply! 😊
Hi Amanda, loved your honesty "Why did I buy these plants?" That was funny, we've all been caught up in the moment of irrational thinking. . . Just had a shipment arrive from another vender that was hung up waiting for Calif Ag Dept. to release. It was 13 days on the road for my poor qt sz plants! I think they will make it but what a setback for them.
Oh no! I hope they make it!!!
Alstroemeria also known as the inca lily is one of my favorite flowers here in South Africa. It needs hardly no attention and just gives and gives. Important to dead head to get more flowers. Dead head by pulling the stem right from the bottom. Do not cut flowers on the stem just pull from the bottom. Amazingly hardy against frost even black frost. divide when the plant is a few years old. I tried with young plants and they battled for a long time. I have the tiger lily which is the same as yours and a beautiful yellow one. Be careful when you buy from the nursery as you get a short and long stem variety. Much love Amanda
This is amazing information Janet! Thank you so much!
Pulmonaria is one of my favorite shade plants. I have one that is waking up.. about 2 inches out of the ground now and at least 5 years old. I divided it and now have 4 more to plant up. It’s such a lovely plant when it blooms and then the foliage gets to show off for the rest of the season. Mine does tend to get powdery mildew toward end of season.. but then most of my garden does.. Im 5b/6a coastal southern maine. I watched for the amaryllis😊 I kinda fell in love with them this past winter and got 5 varieties that are so far doing there post bloom thing. I want to plant them out this year and grow them on!
I would love if my pulmonaria did as well as yours!
@@shesamadgardener I hope so too! They also smell lovely! They are one of my earlier bloomers. I adore the multicolored flowers!
Yes, I'm wanting a Chitalpa!! Also, wouldn't the zoning info on the ninebark mean that it just might not get enough cold hours to bloom? Good luck with the Amaryllis. Still trying to get mine to rebloom.
Good point! That could be the issue as well! I’ll report back on how it does!

Fascinating video. I have watched Jenny on Garden Crossings for a long time. They just recently started their online plant shipping. Which makes sense since they are growers. Fun to hear your experience with your order you received. Can’t wait to see the results. ☺️
Yes, I should check her out and see what their pricing looks like!
@@shesamadgardener I thought that is who you ordered from? Also I know it’s a hassle but I would let them and the shipping company know what the plants looked like. 🥴
@@shesamadgardener Jenny is with Gardening with Creekside in Dallas, SC. Heidi is with Garden Crossings.
❤❤❤❤❤goodmorning amanda..ccoffe☕
Good morning!
I agree about ordering online plants...mine from PW direct werent even still in pots...a hot mess
Yeah, it’s so hit or miss!
❤
🌷🌷🌷

🌷🌷🌷
I’m very curious about the chitalpa here in DFW. I hope it thrives for you so I can get one. It is a cross between a catalpa and a desert willow. I put in a desert willow last year because I love the blooms.
I’m hoping it does well … it looks like I can shape it over time which should be cool too.
Love your apron. Pls share.
Thanks! It’s from TEMU.
Apparently, I ordered bleeding heart bare roots. I have a vague memory of ordering them when you started your bare roots. I just got a shipment notification.😂
😂😂😂 yay!
I planted alot of expensive amaryllis bulbs. I recently moved all outside too. Im hoping to try to see if i can use again
Fingers crossed!
Great video! My sister-in-law had put her Amarilis outside a couple years ago and they had beautiful blooms this spring, so I tried it too, but it’s on the east side of the house in an area that does get some water. The leaves get so big and beautiful but now I’m wondering if I should move it somewhere else?
As long as the leaves look healthy, I’d wait to see if they bloom. If they don’t bloom this year, then you can move them.
Well that’s funny. I ordered a new hydrangea from Proven Winters that isn’t available at garden centers yet. And I just got a notice that it shipped. I forgot all about it.😮😮
It’s funny how the purchase seemed so important at the time and then we just forget 🤔
Are you sure you weren’t celebrating New Year’s when you placed that order? 😂 I get Amaryllis every Christmas and then plant them in the spring and leave them. They keep returning and multiplying. Im zone 7B.
That is definitely a possibility 😜
Side comment….bought my first ever rose. 😍 It is a cutting from Walmart. I potted it up. Now how do I harden it off?
It should go outside pretty easily … start it in the shade and gradually move it to more sun each day.
? When you bring in the amaryllis in, do you remove them from the soil? I can't wait to see if the other plants do well, especially the alstromeria⚾️
I’m going to leave them in the container most likely but I think you could remove them as well. Maybe I’ll try both and film the experiment!
You sound like me on those prices girl lol
😂😂😂
Maybe see what the
Prices are at Gardening at Creekside
Good idea!
😁😁😁😁 thank you for the information. I have a beautiful white one I’m just going to plant in the yard. I know it will not bloom during the holidays but since it’s white I’m excited to see how it looks during its natural blooming time. But I’ll try to force my red ones next year.
Wonderful!
Oh my “free plants” will arrive in early June. 😂😂
😂😂😂
I too had a gift card! I have 2 new hibicus, marshmallow moon and watermelon ruffles, and a oh so easy peach colored rose bush!
Could the more expensive plants been on sale and that’s why you purchased them?
Maybe 🤷♀️
I ordered a few plants from Proven Winners last year and they arrived in horrible shape and were delivered upside down as well. I ordered the quart sizes and they were broken and I had no choice but yo cut them way back. I ordered two different phlox, and two bee balms. Only one bee balm survived and I was very dissatisfied with what I got for the high prices I paid. I will never order directly from PW again.
Yeah, ordering plants online is very hit or miss because sure of the shipping process.
Did you try contacting PW? I think if you showed the CS rep a picture of the plants, they might’ve replaced them.
Did you check your bank statement. Maybe a PW freebee?????
Nah, I paid full price for these!
👒 👒👒👒
🌷🌷🌷
We plant our amaryllis outside..stay out year round. Zone 9a, south central Georgia. Our plants then bloom in the spring.
Wonderful!
❤
🌷🌷🌷
The physocarpus may need more hours of cold during dormancy than we get in zone 8A.
You might be right! I’m hoping being in a pot will allow it to be cooler than being in the ground.
❤
🌷🌷🌷
One great thing about Zone 9 gardening….amaryllis get planted into the landscape in late winter. They flourish and rebloom each year. I have to divide them up every four years or so.
That’s awesome! Hope mine do that too!
Watch your videos as part of my morning routine. Thank you for what you do, and love the dry humor today!! 😆
Aww I’m so glad!
Got a great idea for my amaryllis bulbs, thanks 🙂
Yay!
I love love love alstroemerias! my daughter does too! they last sooo long in a vase. :D
I’m so excited to grow it!
