I really love this video because I have hard clay soil, zone 9 so, it gets very hot Southern California). Currently planting a steep hillside that's approximately 400sq ft. This video has been invaluable as I REALLY don't want to grow ground cover in this area. Thank you for reminding me that I can use some of the perennials in your example - keep the butterflies and hummingbirds visiting my backyard!
Oh, you must mean a slope! That is so cool! You can terrace it a bit and plant grapes at the top, and certain kind of roses below, so beautiful!
Im So CA too. Bearded iris, buddleia. Lavender and the small rose Drift kind do fabulous! We added 2 mimosa trees for dappled shade on the big slope. The plants and wildlife flock there daily.
@@MissDeb-jq6nz it IS a slope -thank you 😊. So far I have a mess due to my indecision and "garden trials" This area gets blasted with full sun. So far, drift red roses and butterfly bush are my top faves. I'm removing everything else as it looks too chaotic. Thanks for the comment.
@@jillspady6450 your idea is wonderful. I already had the spreading red roses on the slope. Also, I recently planted a butterfly bush and the two together look AMAZING Those two jewel tones are incredible together!
Perhaps I will try lavender, rosemary and roses out front. I don't know much about Iris plants, but willing to learn as long as I get visits from colorful pollinators!
Thank you for sharing your garden ideas with me.
@@mamabear9509 find an iris group near you. They are sooooo easy. Plant them shallow, backs in the sun, don't over water, divide every 4 to 5 years.
And be sure to watch for early, mid and late bloomers to have spectacular beauty for up to 2 months, then it's time for the roses.
And don't forget salvia! And gladiolas!
Salvia is wonderful. Hummers, bees, long color. Can't beat them!
I love that P. Allen Smith has always been vocal about being organic. If only we could get commercial landscapers to do the same.
Another valuable video packed with useful information delivered with personality and humor. Thanks P. Allen Smith
Please keep your VLOGs coming! This one is so timely for me. Received my lavender from GHW yesterday and I'm planting them today. Going to try them in ground in a dry area. Lantana does beautifully for me and is worth replanting it each year since it's not hardy to my zone. And love, love, love the sun coleus. They performed great last year. Best quote, "I don't know if I'd look this good if I went through the winter outside." LOL
Rosanna Rosanna Lantana 🤣🤣🤣. You are dating yourself Allen. I hope I can make a trip back to Moss Mountain this year. Your gardens are so beautiful and they by far beat my local botanical gardens.
Trumpet vine is considered a noxious invasive plant in my area but the ruby throated hummingbirds love them and may have co-evolved in the Midwest with the trumpet vine and its range.
Your videos are some of the best on UA-cam 😁 Always informative with wonderful doses of comedy, thank you P. Allen Smith. Subscriber watching from Derby, UK.
I am a new gardener and I’m learning so much. You touched on something that I have just figured out. In some parts of the country perennials can be annuals. I think I’m in one of those areas in zone 7A. So many flowers and plants just come back every year.
I think this is the part of P. Allen Smith I like best. I love the companion planting ideas. Thank you for this informative video. 🌿
No love for flower snobs. That snobbery usually covers many topics.lol....you rock P
My Nanny had a Lantana in her front yard, she cut it back every year, because it came back on new wood. She had it for over 50 years old. It was huge and just gorgeous. Pink orange,yellows.
Here's an idea for a companion plants, I planted two Don Juan roses this will be their second year this coming spring, I have morning glories that I planted under the trellis as well they are white I think the white and red contrast will look awesome and I realize that morning glories can be an invasive plant but I will harvest the seeds before they fall , have a good gardening spring next year!
Love this when he said most of the plants are killed by OVER LOVE!
A friend of my son's ask me about my flowers, she says they're always so pretty, and if I had any advice. I sent her your video from today and told her that she needs to watch P Allen Smith. 😁
I am learning so much about perennials and color contrast. Thanks!
I love your "rants"!!!
I'm in Va. now, but grew up in Louisiana. Down south, Lantana is a perennial and can grow into a huge shrub. Definitely not a weed.
My mother used to call them ham and eggs plants.
Thriller, Filler & Spiller. Easy to remember!!
For us ranchers in Fl, its toxic to the cows,, I think that's why we are taught it is a weed,, but I love it in my garden..
Lantana a weed, it can ge a weed in my yard anytime. I will be putting all these flowers in my small raised bed gardens this year. I love salvia, its beautiful!
Love all the lillies
Wow...this is a video I needed! Thank you for your insights and encouragement to experiment. 😍
Wonderful and informative. Thank you for walking me through your gardening style.
😂 your commentary is awesome. Great video!
I have Mary Todd day lilies and lots of zinnias that I save seeds from every year. Love them! I've ordered 3 Lucious Bananarama lantanas. They are perennial here in Georgia.
I’m definitely going to do some companion planting in two large containers on my patio. I love this video conversation. I love daylilies because the beauty makes me feel like an accomplished gardener even though I’m more of an advanced beginner. I have a question about how to feed them throughout the year
You are right! I love my plants to death! Never had an indoor plant!
Don't know if it'd be possible, but would love a video about flower garden design/layout. Have a new house and flower beds and would love to know what considerations go into plant choice and placement. Either way, thanks for all the videos and knowledge :)
Jeri Landers The Storybook 'Creating a Cut flower garden' goes into a bit of detail in garden bed design. Would love to see more of planting schemes too.
I have a midnight blue salvia I have had it for 4 years and it has come back every year and I live in NW Ohio
You make me laugh just wonderful
Thank you for sharing this awesome video.🙂
great video, thank you
Zone 5 (Chicago) and my salvias come back every year.
I'm in Iowa zone 5. There are 2 types of salvia. Annual and perennial. I have both.
I am a zinnia lover and a day(ditch)lilly snob...😄
Hollyhocks look. So pretty by a barn
You have such a good personality and attitude!
I live in mid-southern north carolina, zone 8a- So it gets incredibly humid and hot here during the summer, and there's ton of red clay here- I was wondering what would be good perenials to help ward off mosquitos?
Xenpurgisnacht Thank you! Lemon grass, lavender, marigolds, rosemary and even garlic has been known to help with those pesky skeeters.
Choose Lavendula Intermedia. It’s hardier than true English Lavender which is Lavendula angustifolia.
Hello Mr. Smith, I absolutely love you channel and I look forward to learning a lot from you. My husband and I just bought a 5 acre and home around Louisville, Kentucky. I love so many different flowers and like you I'm trying to go with just perennials. I have so many catalogs and I am finding that I want and love all the colors of the color spectrum. Is there a rule of thumb that your not suppose to have that many different colors in your garden? Or is it o.k. to have the full spectrum. I really want a beautiful garden but I don't want it to look odd with all of the colors that I'm wanting. Should I stick to just 2 or 3 colors for my garden. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Also, how do you keep deer from eating all of your roses, lilies, and other flowers? Thank you
I have a camellia bush it had big huge pods this winter but they didn't bloom until now I do not understand why Todd's didn't burst out in the winter thought they always have please tell me if my tree is sick because I do not want to lose it I love it
Great videos. Subscribed
Very helpful
Well, I just found out why my peonies here in central Texas didn’t do much...I planted them too deep. Thanks for the encouragement to try things naysayers have discouraged me from trying. Do you think I can dig them up and try again? Or are they a lost cause? Planted last spring and they never emerged. 😭😭😭
I love to water plants! I think I love them too much:(
I recently bought 3 Jurassic Park Bearded Iris. Only one of the 3 bloomed. How can I tell if this type of iris will rebook?
I have knockout roses planted and I need to know what I can use to keep those mites from eating my roses leaves and killing them. I lost two this past year.
Hey Allen, I like the name Rosanna Lantana as my name is Rosa 😜
Hello P. Allen. This is K from Detroit Michigan. I love love love love your show. I am a new subscriber. Qestion. My husband wants to plant two small trees to make a state in front of our home. Any suggestions? Thank you. We love your show!
Do you have a video about hydrangeas how to take care of them like blue and pink?
Aliz Jack Yep! Plus some more tips. ua-cam.com/video/vozWBlIGjzU/v-deo.html
What can I grow around 6 we’ll spaced red knock out rose bushes. The base has become spiny and ugly. They are on a low knoll across from the entrance to my home. Thank you!
What is a good shade plant to plant under pine tree. I live st. Paul Minnesota.
Carlos Lantana...LOL!
😆
WHAT A GREAT SHOW--THANK YOU
I was wondering what happened if the
Thank you for the V-log. Could you recommend perennials that are good "bed fellows" with roses? Also, I heard the Nasturtium attracts aphids, which can be troublesome for roses and other plants. Is it best to plant Nasturtium separately or not at all when growing roses? Thanks, Marie Woodward, Columbia, CT (zone 6a)
If the nasturtiums attract the aphids they take them away from your roses.
The Nasturtium looks like Dollar weed.
Rosanna Roseannadana lantana😂
Daddy do you like ferns redwood sequioas evergreens spruce esplaier
I can't plant zinnias be cause my dog loves to eat them. 😂
Mammath Russian Sunflowers not all sunflowers are so great
I love you
What kind of perinatal would work the best in southeast Kansas? For shade and sun. Would love to come and tour your place.
Organic my arse!!
Thriller, filler, spiller is the greatest thing I’ve heard in years!
He has an excellent turn of phrase.
And to prune out the 3 D’s Dead, Damaged and Diseased. Also he didn’t mention but you want to prune out any branches that cross and rub against each other or inward towards the center; usually trees and shrubs.
You cracked me up with this one! You were extra spicy haha Thanks for so many helpful tips. I'm planning a huge new bed this year and need all the help I can get! 🌸😂
I love little STELLA!!! I have them everywhere in my gardens...
Me too, i just divided my Daylily and planted in 3 spots in the garden.
My salvia has returned every year since I planted them a few years ago in zone 7b.
That’s wonderful, I love mine as well and they have reseeded themselves and now I have extra plants to plant in my backyard 😀😀
We need more Q&A shows P Allen! Loved this show and always love perennials!
Do the Stella daylilies need to be deadheaded to make them re-bloom? I love daylilies too! My favorites...
No. But deadheading keeps them from going to seed and might give your more blooms because energy would be directed to blooms and not seed growth. I grow them.
Man!! I just want that house and all of those flowers..Omg so beautiful!! 💗💗💗
I am what they call "MESSY GARDENER". If I find an empty spot in my garden, I would stick a plant in there and I prefer perennial pollinating plants. When we built our home, my mother bought 2 Limelight hydrangeas. Every time they bloom, the flowers are so huge that they'd flop on top of the other plants. How can I fix that issue? Thanks in advance.
Tie it up- ( loosely). You can also get hoops - they have pointy ends that go into the soil & the hoops open up so you can support heavy branches.
@@Cenepk101 thank you! I will try that method
Congratulations, we have selected your question to be featured in an upcoming vlog, coming June 7th. As a thank you from us, we would like to send you a gift. Please email us at allenanswers@pallensmith.com and we will be in touch. Thanks!
My momma used to say that "A weed is only a weed if you don't want it in your flower bed! If you do want it,well then, its a strong grower or easy to grow or very hardy perenial!"
There are some salvia that are perenial i the N zone 5. where it can get 20 below for wks. . I can't name them off the top of my head. But I have one that came back this yr..
I have a pink lavender it is beautiful.
I live in NY. near the Great Lakes and I have many Peonies and never thought about areas that can't grow them. I planted mine 14 years ago and would not move south and leave them behind. However I understand how others might feel about their area not being suitable for them, since I want Crape Myrtles but it is a bit too cold for them here. By the way, I just subscribed.
Thank you! A very informative video. I love all flowers. I love perennial and annual combinations. I'm like a kid in a candy store come spring. I have so many ideas and you are right you never know until you try. Last year I planted marigold seeds in some cobalt blue containers in July ...I know very late but my idea was to have a display come fall and it worked! It was a beautiful combo the blue of the pot and the orange of the marigolds, although there weren't as big as the ones I had planted earlier they were still a beautiful display come fall.
Excellent video, full of great advice. Another plant attractive for hummingbirds is sweet peas; they keep coming every day. If I may add a tip for growing lavender in a humid climate, if you want to have them in the ground, plant them in a mound, so that water drains easily and the roots don't stagnate.
Great tip!
I planted nasturtiums last spring and got not a single one!
It's the best explaining of plants, I am in Zone 5 and have a lot of deer crossing thru my yard and munching
How about talking bout Hollyhock culture. It has been my passion but I’ve never successfully grown them. Thanks .👌
Nice long talk! How about lily of the valley?
Love it!
Love all your videos! I’ve learned soooo much about gardening! Thank you!
I adore your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
lavender ...”We’ve talked about this before”. ... like a teacher lol
Thanks for posting! Love your videos
My mother said that when she was little, she heard the ladies call the pink and yellow lantana, ham and eggs....😁
I love lantana!!! And, I love you and your videos!!!!
I have a question about hydrangeas. The hydrangeas that you get around Easter time with the coloured foil around the pot, can those be planted out in the garden?
Yes Indeed. As can your Easter lillies
Sharon Browne yes of course
Love your show! I live in North Alabama for the bearded Iris do you cut back the long stem after they stop blooming in the spring.
Great video very informative for a new allotment owner a few laughs thrown in as well. 😎
Thank you so very much for this wonderful and educational video!!! Gardening in zone 5.
How long after planting peonies tubers will I start see growth?
Reem Bedwany depend on when you plant them. In spring you should have foliage by summer. May not get blooms until the next year.
Hi from Winnipeg Canada! Zone 3 here🥶 my Salvia comes back every year. Mulched with a bit of compost , watered before freeze up in mid October , then fine bark mulch. I grow those lovely Lilies too. We get snow usually at the end of October so evergreens are important for winter interest.
you are such a good teacher. Thank you for using your gift to teach us!
lolol Rosanna-rosanna lantana ! I love it!! Here in southern arizona Lantana is like honeysuckle back east. Its got its own agenda and will grow regardless of what you do. I have sadly found a way to kill it thought... watering toooooo much. Having got it right with my 3rd plant this time, I have that gorgeous pink/lemon species in a 20 inch clay pot that will dry out faster than the plastic ones, and it has done very well. Thank you for this video Allen !
You have definitely opened my eye to being able to grow edible flowers for show and cooking with. The info you have been giving me , I know I can grow pretty much the same as you there in a zone 8, I am here in zone 7b (N.E. Tennessee) .Thank you 💖🙏
"...and you can see that I've absolutely lost my mind and have planted them everywhere" lol!!!!! I can 100% relate. I have a small yard in Fruita, CO and ive got the neighbors wondering about my sanity. They jokingly ask what im going to plant next 😅
Love all these plants !
I’m in south Mississippi, zone 8a, my lantana dies back but comes back every spring. It self-mulches when it gets cold and is in part-shade. I really should cut the dead limbs back in winter but it has gotten so large.
Just wanted people to know.
Honestly Rosanna Rosanna lantana sounds really cute though. 🤣
I love my beautiful lantana...comes back every year in a rounded corner of my flower bed...gorgeous every single time...butterflies love it.
Love salvias with zinnia and lantanas. Will have to find the hummingbird plant.
Lavender! Love your videos.
Didn’t Vincent van Gogh cut off his own ear?
I saw the beautiful pot with daisies and yellow Stella. I live in East Texas. I can no longer keep Shasta daisies alive. What am I doing wrong?
Hello P Allen why did iris not bloom this year. I have a couple hundred and maybe 10 bloomed. Should I don't vide and cut down to 6 inches or so
