I have Heart Throb in a pot and she is lovely! Creeping Charlie was made for this hydrangea if you take look at the flowers....match made in heaven! I'm in Zone 8b Tallahassee and she melts so I keep her in dappled sunlight. I'm lusting after Southern Livings new Gardenia selections! I would love to have a Miss Figgy!
I love the idea of a hot pink flower with the Senecio, maybe a calibrachoa variety? I think something even taller than the mint wouldn't take away from the structure and the hot pink would illuminate that pretty green foliage.
I get the sand and water, hope you didn't bury the 🐸 lol! I see the Southern Garden ads, happy to know some will do in zone 5(b) .. Thanks! I have plants in some containers, but my Garage is so dam Cold, so can't work! Thanks for all your Info, girl! 😉💚
Oooooo yes silvery leaves and light purple flowers underneath... maybe Lamium - Purple Dragon? If parked in part shade that would be perfect! Ground cover and once established doesn't need much watering. I think I'm gonna do that myself lol... beautiful new plants Erin cant wait to see how they do for you :)
Thanks for sharing. Firstly did the tiny frog stay in your rose ( which I love) . Second love your pot that your used for your hydrangea. Thirdly I have always loved Silver Falls, so I’d have to go with it, but I look forward to see your pick in it’s full glory. 👍❤️😊
I am so into that silvery grey color. I use this color combo over and over again in my tiny garden. But, change is good, stretch the muscle... love them all. Red, too?!! Brave girl.
The mint is nice, but I would have went with the Silver Falls. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful education you provide. It has helped me so much! ☺☺❤.
Oh man I love that senecio! I would do Diamond snow euphorbia around the base with Purple Heart tradescantia (ALL TIME FAVE) 💜 trailing out and down. Silver and purple in the garden is my JAM and here in Phoenix it makes everything seem a little less tragic and baked when the temps get ridiculous. Another succulent trailer that would look great with it is rainbow variegated elephant food. Awesome video, Erin! 💜
Gorgeous plant selections. I love that you are experimenting with red-toned plants in your landscape. That hydrangea and container are a perfect match!😍
Love your combo with the mint. Think it will fill in nice.I would add just a little colored annuals in between the mint.Possibilities always endless in gardening ! Love the ground cover rose.💜 Pam >
I’m a veggie Gardner but from watching you I have a flower order coming and I have the same seed collection storage you have. The little photo storage totes are excellent for seeds. I got one for seeds and one for photos and ended up using both for seeds. I’m Ontario Canada zone 5
Love all the plants you bought! The rose is gorgeous and so is the hydrangea. I live in zone five also....Illinois....and even though it says that those hydrangeas bloom on both old and new wood....I have rarely been successful getting them to rebloom for me after winter here. Love the succulent and the mint planted with it.
Thank the Lord I found a zone 5 gardener! I’m only on year 2 with this flower garden thing and it’s tough to learn the specifics when you’re in a different zone
I'm planting more than 30 roses in zone 5a this year - the one I have a crush on right now is Monrovia's RED (underline, exclamation point) Grace n Grit - lineage is old and new - so part knock out for extreme hardiness and zone 4 combined with older rose Mme Verbelen (a beautiful zone 6b that would never make it here). I can't tell you HOW RED and just strikingly luscious this rose is - moderate height. This year I'm pairing deep reds with light blues - my favorite color combination. Hard to describe, have to see. Warmest regards Jennie
Yellow would be great with it! I was thinking Gold Dust Mercardonia would have been really good with it because it stays low but gets covered in yellow.
I like the bright green with the Senecio, the only other thing I might have done is Lemon Coral Sedum or even a dusty rose colored something. The cute little frog definitely stole the show though! My sister recently had one hanging out within the petals of one of her tosses recently 😍
Thank you for identifying the zone you’re in. I live in Boise Idaho which used to be zone 6 but now seems to be zone 5 probably 5B like you. I love watching UA-cam gardening videos but if they don’t tell me the zone they’re in it doesn’t mean a lot to me and your channel does so thank you. We’ve been having a terrible heat wave and I’ve been covering my whole vegetable garden with unneeded curtain panels and long pieces of muslin from my quilting stash. I use bamboo stakes and long curtain rods with binder clips to hold the fabric up over the plants. It’s been quite an experience but I haven’t lost anything and I’ve actually been eating squash and tomatoes and peas and broccoli and cabbage and a few strawberries. My eggplants are doing great. Boise Idaho is high altitude so the sun is intense. I took out my whole backyard lawn to make a lasagna garden. I love it.
I do try to be better about that (although my zone is always in the description box), because I sometimes forget that people may be just finding my channel for the first time.
I love tree frogs. I bought some water plants last year and along came some hitch hikers, trees frog eggs, they hatched out in my pond and we feed them gold fish food while they were maturing. That was so much fun!💚🙃
I like the idea of a ground cover for the Senecio, it will look stunning. I love Euphorbia (have it everywhere in my garden and containers), but may get lost in the white pot. Dorotheanthus might look nice as well...but may be too trailing for this centerpiece.
Since senecio is a drought tolerant plant, I’d plant something with similar watering needs. I’d pair it with Baby Blue Eyes, which has beautiful blue flowers and is low growing with succulent like stems.
Hey Erin ,Love all the plants ,yes the mint works around that last plant👍🏼The rose plant looks great in your landscape.Good choice of putting hydrangea in container ,Mine is in a whiskey barrel container it fills out nicely 👍🏼 look forward to seeing how there doing
I love your channel I, too, am in Wisconsin. My question is: could you plant the Senecio along the side foundation of a house? Along with the Rose? I'm taking out hostas (neighbor took out shade tree) and am looking for a carefree foundation situation.
Erin I think you’re absolutely right Senecio Skyscaper is a focal plant. I liked your accent plants adding “Purple Sweet Potato Vine as an option. Great video!
I Love the mint too!!!! That’s exactly what I would have picked. The others looked good too, but the mint really ‘pops’. The color in the mint really compliments the color of the succulent. Great choice!👍❤️👍
It looks great! Another idea would’ve been to do the three mint a tidge closer together on one side, and then one dichondra Silver Falls off on the other side! So fun to see all of the combinations you had ideas for!!
Thank you so much for mentioning the difference of the sun in the South, I lived in the south for 15 years and didn't know that it has tropical sun until a year before I relocated to the north 😬 . I'm in zone 5 and you are the one I follow.
I absolutely love the Senecio with the Corsican mint! I NEED to get those plants for my pot. Only I don't have another pot so I NEED to get a pot, too! 😄❤
@@TheImpatientGardener you got the right one! I see a trip to Target in my near future! But I wonder where I could get the Senecio. I have never seen one even though I live in North Alabama.
I love flowers in containers, the only thing I don’t like is they dry out way too fast. Hopefully next year I can figure out a watering system for my container plants. It’s going to require a lot of thinking on my part to be able to get drip to them,so it’s a next year project 💚🙃
Oooh, under the Senecio, how about a Tradescantia Pallida with it’s lovely purple leaves or a yellow Japanese sedum like Ogon or even a wooly thyme of some sort... so many possibilities!!
Oh I was looking at a fig the other day at the nursery but didn't commit, wasn't to sure for my zone 5 garden, hummmmm I might have to go back and grab one!!!!
I love the mint but I also loved the Euphorbia with it but now I see how that euphorbia while it gets big it won’t trail over the side like the mint and it would get bushy and sort of compete!! My euphorbia took over my geraniums and you couldn’t see them last year!! I love your choice but I do think petunias need too much water to be with it especially here in Alabama!! The euphorbia is my favorite!! My dahlias already have buds that I left in ground from last year!! You are the one that has me hooked on them!! Praying all my new ones that I spent a fortune on do as good!!
That Hydrangea is so pretty, really love that color. I think Erigeron Profusion would look nice with the Senecia, also love the idea of Artemisia, it's foliage would be amazing with it, not to mention the scent, which I love.
Hmmm...a frilly dusty Miller and Superbells (since they like less water.) Maybe something with dark purple foliage? The color of the mint does look nice with the new growth at the top.
Blue daze ..evolveus would be nice under sennicia... got to find this here on gulf coast hoping I can find a few...!! Can’t believe I’m watching u in Wisconsin and I see Sandy soil lol that’s all I have and have to so amend the soil!! So funny to see you with Southern living plants there!! Thanks so much for sharing this info will be on the hunt for these!!! My blue daze comes back every year it’s so easy and love the color and texture!!! Fyi blue daze drought tolerant once established!
I love those roses I have them in salmon color and I just love them ,I live in Florida zone 10,they do great here!!I just love your channel,I’ve been a subscriber for a long time ,I never miss any of your videos!!😀
Oh I have some sedum (wish I could remember the name!) that is kinda chartreuse with soft round petals and slightly drapes over the edge of my pots. Love that new plant!
The little frog is adorable 🌿🌿🌿
👍👍👍
I agree!! I loved the frog!!!
My brother is on Long Island and he has been very successful with figs planted in his garden! He’s zone 7a. Love your channel!
Congrats on pairing up with Southern Living! It will be good for them to have some Zone 5 representation on UA-cam.
I loved the look with the diamond frost euphorbia but not in a white pot. If you have a darker pot that combo is great. How fun!
I have Heart Throb in a pot and she is lovely! Creeping Charlie was made for this hydrangea if you take look at the flowers....match made in heaven! I'm in Zone 8b Tallahassee and she melts so I keep her in dappled sunlight. I'm lusting after Southern Livings new Gardenia selections! I would love to have a Miss Figgy!
I love the idea of a hot pink flower with the Senecio, maybe a calibrachoa variety? I think something even taller than the mint wouldn't take away from the structure and the hot pink would illuminate that pretty green foliage.
I really like that rose also love your little toad ...you might make him a toad house out of a small pot to put next to the rose. 💗
I get the sand and water, hope you didn't bury the 🐸 lol! I see the Southern Garden ads, happy to know some will do in zone 5(b) .. Thanks! I have plants in some containers, but my Garage is so dam Cold, so can't work! Thanks for all your Info, girl! 😉💚

Ground cover and once established doesn't need much watering. I think I'm gonna do that myself lol... beautiful new plants Erin cant wait to see how they do for you :)
My first thought was blue lobelia, but love the mint carpet. 💚
All combinations are beautiful but I would do it w euphorbia and purple petunias!! Everyother, all the way around the pot 🌻🌺🌷🌹
Ohhhh the little frog!
The plants are beautiful too -
Liked them all my favorite was the rose and hydrangea which are my favorite!
I’d go with black mondo grass next to the senecio. Maybe the mint with that too
Ooh ... good one!
That would be great!
Thanks for sharing. Firstly did the tiny frog stay in your rose ( which I love) . Second love your pot that your used for your hydrangea. Thirdly I have always loved Silver Falls, so I’d have to go with it, but I look forward to see your pick in it’s full glory. 👍❤️😊
I am so into that silvery grey color. I use this color combo over and over again in my tiny garden. But, change is good, stretch the muscle... love them all. Red, too?!! Brave girl.
My first thought for your final pot was a deep blue or purple lobelia. Love the choice of the low mint thought.
Lol I thought you were gonna hug that succulent for a second there! So cute, your love for plants!
The mint is nice, but I would have went with the Silver Falls. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful education you provide. It has helped me so much! ☺☺❤.
I think a diamond frost euphorbia would be another great combo
Oh, that Senecio! Underplanted with an orangey/ coral color would be glorious. I’m off to do some research 🧐 thanks, Erin.
Oh man I love that senecio! I would do Diamond snow euphorbia around the base with Purple Heart tradescantia (ALL TIME FAVE) 💜 trailing out and down.

Another succulent trailer that would look great with it is rainbow variegated elephant food. Awesome video, Erin! 💜
I like the Senecia the way you have it. You could add some smaller pots of colorful annuals to sit with it to make an unique grouping 🌺🌼
The Corsican mint is what I like💚🙃
Gorgeous plant selections. I love that you are experimenting with red-toned plants in your landscape. That hydrangea and container are a perfect match!😍
I would use campanula carpatica with the blue flowers to spread over the sides. Repeat flowers for ages. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love it.
Love your combo with the mint. Think it will fill in nice.I would add just a little colored annuals in between the mint.Possibilities always endless in gardening ! Love the ground cover rose.💜 Pam >
The mint is pretty now that I see planted in the white container. Either the first or the last choice would be beautiful ❤️
The mint does look good ~ I liked the dichondra too. That hydrangea! 🤩
I loved the euphorbia with the senecio 💚💚
I the Little Miss Figgy!! I like the idea of putting this in a pot. As always thanks for all the information!
I like the mint with the pot it gives a ultra modern ook.
I really like the mint! I think I would add 3 superbells Double Orchid to add more softness. Great video ☺️
How cute was that frog!!
I think you need at least two more of those ground cover roses.
One on each side - to form a drift.
I like the mint, but I probably would have done the euphorbia. It's so magical
All beautiful plants! You give me so many ideas and I have so little space. lol
I’m a veggie Gardner but from watching you I have a flower order coming and I have the same seed collection storage you have. The little photo storage totes are excellent for seeds. I got one for seeds and one for photos and ended up using both for seeds. I’m Ontario Canada zone 5
I like the Silver Falls plant.
Thanks for always introducing us to new plants and ideas...can't to see how they all look as they settle in!
Really love that last plant - gotta do the three of them in a long metal planter with something over the edge - amazing Erin!!!
Yes! Wouldn’t that be great?
Love all the plants you bought! The rose is gorgeous and so is the hydrangea. I live in zone five also....Illinois....and even though it says that those hydrangeas bloom on both old and new wood....I have rarely been successful getting them to rebloom for me after winter here. Love the succulent and the mint planted with it.
I would use something small and purple leaved, like Heuchera Coral Bells.
Thank the Lord I found a zone 5 gardener! I’m only on year 2 with this flower garden thing and it’s tough to learn the specifics when you’re in a different zone
Oh my, the rose would be great at the end of my driveway. A few on each side.
That Senecia looks great in the white pot! Love, love, love it!
I think that white pot would look very pretty draped with white sweet alyssum.
I'm planting more than 30 roses in zone 5a this year - the one I have a crush on right now is Monrovia's RED (underline, exclamation point) Grace n Grit - lineage is old and new - so part knock out for extreme hardiness and zone 4 combined with older rose Mme Verbelen (a beautiful zone 6b that would never make it here).

I love that senecio..I like what you did but I think I'd also add a few dichondra silver falls in between!!
No question, I would choose the dichondra silver falls (which I’m in love with) for the drama. I would probably keep it trimmed and thinned.
I love the hydrangea in that gorgeous pot!
Since I love color, I would like to see it paired with yellow bidens or something airy.
Yellow would be great with it! I was thinking Gold Dust Mercardonia would have been really good with it because it stays low but gets covered in yellow.
I agree, bidens would be perfect! I was thinking Campfire bidens but a yellow would be great too!
I like the bright green with the Senecio, the only other thing I might have done is Lemon Coral Sedum or even a dusty rose colored something. The cute little frog definitely stole the show though! My sister recently had one hanging out within the petals of one of her tosses recently 😍

Love the Senecia! I think adding some Lithodora Grace Ward would be beautiful surrounding the bottom of the Senecia.
I like the idea of a ground cover for the Senecio, it will look stunning. I love Euphorbia (have it everywhere in my garden and containers), but may get lost in the white pot. Dorotheanthus might look nice as well...but may be too trailing for this centerpiece.

Sponsored by Amazon… 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’d try it with silver falls but I love the combo you chose as well!

Yes 🥰🥰

Love them all! I like how you planted them, no changes needed. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.
I like all of those with that plant. If i had choose i would pick the 2nd plant u held up with it. 😊
I absolutely love the Senecio with the Corsican mint! I NEED to get those plants for my pot. Only I don't have another pot so I NEED to get a pot, too! 😄❤
I went out and got that pot (Target) specifically for that Senecio too. I needed just the right thing for it! :)
@@TheImpatientGardener you got the right one! I see a trip to Target in my near future! But I wonder where I could get the Senecio. I have never seen one even though I live in North Alabama.
Oh my word, the Corsican mint contrast with color and size of foliage. With the senecio ... Dreamy! And the scent as you walk by and rub the mint! 🤩
I love flowers in containers, the only thing I don’t like is they dry out way too fast. Hopefully next year I can figure out a watering system for my container plants. It’s going to require a lot of thinking on my part to be able to get drip to them,so it’s a next year project 💚🙃
Gotta get one of those hydrangeas! Love the smaller ones in containers 😊💚👩🏼🌾
I am in Tx zone 8a. I need that ground cover rose in my life right now! Love your last container keep it simple!
Euphorbia!!
Love all the new plants!
I would probably underplant the succulent with thyme.
So cool to see you using some Southern Living plants in your zone!
Oooh, under the Senecio, how about a Tradescantia Pallida with it’s lovely purple leaves or a yellow Japanese sedum like Ogon or even a wooly thyme of some sort... so many possibilities!!
i have a gray todd,my husband and he is just like that.
Oh I was looking at a fig the other day at the nursery but didn't commit, wasn't to sure for my zone 5 garden, hummmmm I might have to go back and grab one!!!!

My dahlias already have buds that I left in ground from last year!! You are the one that has me hooked on them!! Praying all my new ones that I spent a fortune on do as good!!
Personally I love the dicondra silverfalls with the senicio. I love the hydrangea as well, such an unusual color!
Forgive my spelling of Dichondra! 🙄
That Hydrangea is so pretty, really love that color. I think Erigeron Profusion would look nice with the Senecia, also love the idea of Artemisia, it's foliage would be amazing with it, not to mention the scent, which I love.
Hmmm...a frilly dusty Miller and Superbells (since they like less water.) Maybe something with dark purple foliage? The color of the mint does look nice with the new growth at the top.

I like what you put with the Senecio, but I'm thinking I would pair it with the Euphorbia. They all look great!
I'd do the Silver Falls, love the frog hope he's happy! If he stays put give us an update!
Cool unusual plants!
Lemon coral Sedum would drape that Senecio so nicely.
That Miss Figgy fig, OMG!!! I’d pair Supertunia Priscilla with that senecio.
I would do a purple wavy petunia or bordeaux supertunia love the purple and silver theme.
I like the mint. Covers the soil but won’t steal the emphasis from senecio
The mint is going to look very nice. Initially I was drawn to the dicondra. Blue my mind evolvulus would be cool too.
I love the ground cover rose!
Beautiful! I would maybe do an Irish moss But there is no bad choice !
the rose is beautiful!! all are beautiful really!
I love love that combo of senecio, mint and white pot. Perfection.
I would use some pinkish color superbells.
Ooo I love contrast so I’d probably use something with reddish foliage. Maybe a trailing sedum 😻
I love those roses I have them in salmon color and I just love them ,I live in Florida zone 10,they do great here!!I just love your channel,I’ve been a subscriber for a long time ,I never miss any of your videos!!😀
I’ve never seen that senecio plant I really like it
Oh I have some sedum (wish I could remember the name!) that is kinda chartreuse with soft round petals and slightly drapes over the edge of my pots.
Love that new plant!
