August Garden Tour. Late Summer Perrenials in Bloom. Its Been Hot! Some Things Are Burning Up! 2022

[@barbbirdyard]

I don’t really tidy up my yard too much with the cone flowers, sunflowers and flowers that provides seeds for the birds in the winter.

[@HookedandRooted]

I leave many up also, and cleanup up some of the other things

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Everyone! Post production edit! The variety of allium I show which I accidentally called "Amethyst Bubbles Allium" is actually called "Lavender Bubbles Allium".

[@simplybloom]

You do an amazing job at remembering all the varieties steph! Im just like “that’s an allium, that’s a hibiscus” and don’t even mention the variety because I can never remember!

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

Steph is that the one I commented about? I totally butchered the name lol but I want to get some !!

[@HookedandRooted]

@@clivesconundrumgarden yes that's the one! LOL there's so many varieties out, millennium, lavender bubbles, serendipity, summer beauty. They are beautiful perrenial, late summer blooming 😍 💕

[@HookedandRooted]

@@simplybloom thank you Maya! I can't remember why I walked into a room sometimes, but have a plant encyclopedia in my brain 🤣

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

@@HookedandRooted awesome, thanks Steph!!

[@itkahsramal4983]

Lovely garden. I have two Allium Millennium's and I tell you if you want bee's in your garden get these. It will be busy with baby bee's all day long. It's beautiful to watch because they're so cute and they don't even bother me they're working on those plants.

[@cindyhewatt3406]

Your garden is gorgeous, I am watching it the second time 😁

[@oladecie_garden]

So beautiful garden! Love hibiscus🌺

[@Biblejournalwithme]

I love the hot pink. It adds pop of color to the garden and makes the other colors pop as well.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Lisa! It really is so pretty! I always go back in forth about hot pink or light pink! Oh the struggles of loving ALL the plants! Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@TonyaA7]

Just beautiful. Them Hybiscus are amazing.

[@GardeningSpirit]

SO pretty!!! and so well kept! I don't know what it is about those white coneflowers but I am such a sucker for them everytime when I see them at the garden center! Even though the rabbits devour them and they don't all come back for me.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much!! I also love the white coneflowers. Why don't they cime back for you? Is it your soil, or your climate? I regularly spray my flowers with invisible fence deer and rabbit repellent. It's really stinky, but helps keep pests mostly away.

[@GardeningSpirit]

@@HookedandRooted yes! just started using liquid fence this yr. so far so good! I'm not 100% sure why they didn't come back, I assumed the rabbits got them early enough & kept them from growing back. I have 3 plants left out of what was 7.

[@margievaughan2456]

Such beautiful gardens , love the hibiscus & panicle hydrangeas. They have such a beautiful presence

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Margie! Thank you so much! I love them also 💚

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Looks absolutely gorgeous Steph 💕 and I’m so glad your getting some rain 🌸💕🌸

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jasmine! Thank you so much!! I'm so grateful for the little bit of rain we received 🙏💚

[@lizmerritt2148]

Beautiful as always! Love the pink roses in the front

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much!! I always think I want to remove them, until the look beautiful and then I change my mind. Thanks for watching 🌱

[@michellefrance1165]

Stunning everything looks amazing!! I am going to try the cool flowers method this Fall wish me luck 😅 really love the gomphrena and have to get me a candy corn spirea! I started pulling out more daylillies this weekend ugh so many 😩

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Michelle! Thank you so much!! Oh how fun! I've been hearing alot about the cool flower method over the last couple months. Good luck!! And yes everyone needs a candy corn spirea ❤️🧡💛

[@newarkgardener6187]

I pulled out a lot of my day lilies. I don't think you can ever get them all.

Amazing looking garden, lots of creation in it. Greetings from Australia 🌞

[@3menandalady273]

Yay for rain!! loved that anemone! I am looking to add some to my garden also. The hibiscus are so pretty. Thanks for sharing. I love how relaxing your tours are.

[@HookedandRooted]

I was so excited to get some rain FINALLY! 🌧 anenome and the perrenial hibiscus are great late summer plants. Thanks for watching! 🌱

[@carolrose4784]

Beautiful landscapes and I love your colors and choices of plants…

[@rosailincarter]

I would love it if you did a tour of your evergreens with names. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Rosailin! That is coming! I have that on the schedule for sometime this month. Stay tuned. And thank you 😊

[@pamd1861]

Gorgeous Steph! all the hibiscus are such a pop of beauty everything blends together really well. the pen hill dahlia is totally amazing I have that one as well. thanks for the wonderful tour.😊🌺

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Pam, Thank you much! And thanks for watching 🌱

[@sunflowerstatelifestylellc]

Your garden is amazing 👏 😍. My bobo is crispy as well but my other panicles are fine. I feel like this season has been hotter than the last too.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Thanks for the tour. The variety is spectacular and the color combinations lovely. Nice to see choices I am thinking about.

[@mariar2183]

Your garden is looking beautiful 😍, thanks for sharing 💕

[@kaystinebrink1220]

Getting rid of my daylily next year. They just look terrible by mid August. I'm replacing them with a plant which looks good in late summer.

[@HookedandRooted]

Yeah I'm getting there also with the daylilies. Coneflowers are a good option for mid summer, and autumn joy sedum for late summer. Thanks for watching!

[@TheGardeningMe]

I would say your gardens are looking phenomenally well especially considering the drought this year! I think you have convinced me to add a hardy hibiscus to my border. The hard part is going to be choosing which one!

[@bonniehelms6798]

You will love the panicle hydrangeas in place of the roses.

[@ivyandroses25]

Beautiful!! In the section with the 3 knockout roses I would just take the middle one out first and put a large pannicle hydrangea in its place, then I would move that rose into the driveway bed in that empty spot near the blue evergreen. You could always move the 2 others later if you wanted. That way you can see which you like better!

[@HookedandRooted]

Great suggestion Ivy! Thank you!!

[@evemarkus]

Love the hibiscus! So glad I found your channel.😊

[@Bambisgf77]

Just found your channel tonight & binging your vids! Great content, thanks for all the information. I would really like to see a vid on maintenance like fertilizer & bug control. I am constantly battling little black ants bent on eating the roots of my plants.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Frank! Thank you so much! Yes very long blooming! 🌱

[@kathyh.4691]

Just breathtakingly beautiful! I'm so jealous of your huge garden, living in a townhouse community that doesn't give much room for all the varieties I'd love to have, but I'm getting many ideas for a couple of shrubs and containers for when the heat in South Florida subsides a bit in October! Thanks for all the great info you provide!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Kathy! Thank you so much. I'm glad you were able to get some ideas. I have a vid about shrubs, and a few are Dwarf or petit varieties. They are great to incorporate into smaller garden spaces. Thanks for watching!

[@lisacheney1869]

Beautiful! I have many coneflower plants and flocks of finches in my gardens. They love to eat the seeds on the coneflower heads (and rubeckia, sunflower, and cosmo flowers, among others.) They almost look like butterflies going from plant to plant, but are heavier and so they sometimes bend and break the stems. I don't mind, though, since my garden is habitat for birds, bees butterflies, and other wildlife.

[@1958constance]

Beautiful

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much!! 🌱

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

Awesome tour Steph !! The gardens look fantastic!! We've definitely noticed with our crazy weather that some plants love it and others, not so much. I'm thinking that why you always get somethings that are fabulous:)!!
Hope you guys are great!!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@Cmallon81]

Beautiful! I am planning on removing my knockout roses this fall and replacing them with hydrangeas as well. I wish I would have known how bad the thorns were on the knockouts before I planted them. So much worse than other roses I have planted in the past. I don’t like pruning them for that reason and subsequently are susceptible to mildew in the Virginia summer.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Erin! I know I have a love/hate relationship with Rose's. They are alot of work to keep happy & healthy in my garden. I know eventually I will replace them with hydrangeas. It might not be until next fall (2023) since I'm trying to determine if I should replace them with little limes or my bobo hydrangeas that I can move from my driveway bed. One more season with the Bobo drift will tell me if this was just an exceptionally hot and dry summer which caused them to crisp up or if they need more shade. If the latter, I'll bring them to the front border to replace the knockouts.

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I don’t mind the thorns but certainly understand ! Mine were bothered by Japanese beetles and little green caterpillars this year.

[@janyearly3883]

First time watching! Beautiful flower beds!

[@karenadams5400]

[@juliahelland6488]

Beautiful beds! ❣️ I'm in zone 4b and enjoy seeing plants I can grow too. I was wondering the name of the evergreen behind the candy corn spread is?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Julia! I have 2 candy corn spirea. Behind one, I have a weeping Blue Atlas Cedar. Behind the other, I have some kind of Topiary Juniper that was bought as a topiary, and I've tried to maintain its shape. Hope this helps.

This video is a feast for my eyes! 🤩 So good 🤤

[@Dessyluvs]

Beautiful white hibiscus, how did you divide it?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, Thank you!! It was so easy!! In the Spring when it broke dormancy, and the green new growth started to emerge, I dug it up carefully and split it in half at a spot that wouldn't harm the root ball and I could make a pretty clean break.

[@Dessyluvs]

@@HookedandRooted ​ @Hooked and Rooted thank you so much, i really appreciate it. have a great weekend

[@catherinelogan6299]

The black you see on the White Swan cones looks like sunflower moth damage. The cones become mushy. We've had the moths here in Massachusetts for several years. If it is the result of the moths egg laying throw out the blossoms and spray uninfected cones with Spinisad. Next year you can spray early in the season .

[@robertasweeney8842]

What a beautiful way to start the day! My neighbor has a Japanese maple like yours. It has overgrown its space and now blocking a window! How can it be pruned if at all? Thanks for your input!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Roberta! Yes they can be pruned. I would wait until it cools off in the fall. Thanks for watching 🌱

[@marylynnhaynes7558]

Your garden looks great for this late in August! How old is your Quickfire hydrangea by the shed? Love the summer blooming alliums. I want to add some in my garden.

[@ivettesantana4319]

I got the same Peruvian daffodil at home depot 2 years ago and not one leaf. I am wondering if the squirrels got it or the clay soil swallowed it. Love how you explain all your garden plans

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Ivette. Yes I got green foliage on my peruvian daffodil, but no blooms. I'm hopeful maybe they show up this year. We'll have to see.

[@amyhoff1501]

Have you ever split your millenniums? I have a drift of three and would like more, awesome 👏 tour Steph ( my daughters name is Stefanie with an f )

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Amy! Oh I love that with an F. I have split the allium! I started with 2 and one of them was larger than the other so I split it and now I have a group of 3. Incredibly easy to split. Wait til fall. Or if you buy a new one, split it right out of the nursery container when you buy it. It will be a little smaller the first year, but by year 2 it almost doubles in size.

[@mifraharmughan1260]

Hi Steph, how did you divide your Luna Hibiscus. I had no idea you could do that

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! It was so easy!! In the Spring when it broke dormancy, and the green new growth started to emerge, I dug it up carefully and split it in half at a spot that wouldn't harm the root ball and I could make a pretty clean break.

[@mifraharmughan1260]

@@HookedandRooted thanks will definitely try this also any idea why this season my endless summer hydrangeas have very small head of flowers ☹️.

[@francesca4966]

Votre jardin est super propre et bien entretenu, comme le mien. Je me demande parfois si ce n’est pas trop propre, mais nos jardins reflètent nos caractères 😅. Méticuleuses. A la place des roses je mettrais de hydrangeas blancs, c’est plus moderne. Moi non plus je n’aime pas les Hemerocalles car le feuillage vieillit mal.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you Francesca! I do like a tidy garden. In fact I was walking around this evening making a list of garden chores I need to get after this week. I agree, I do enjoy hydrangeas more than roses these days. While roses are beautiful, they aren't nice to me lol. The daylilies have overstayed their welcome. I may only keep a couple and the rest are going. Thanks for watching, and for your comment.

Thanks for your lovely garden tour! I’m in zone 6b too, in Mass. I’m very new to gardening. This year, I too got two zephrine roses and kept on either side of my garage, but not kept any trellis yet. Where did you get the trellis from and how tall is that? Could you please let me know? Thanks in advance!

[@vijayalakshmimahendran6534]

Thanks much for your quick reply. I really appreciate! By the way, I love your established pink double knockouts but as a newbie to gardening I really wonder how difficult it is to remove those and replace them with different plants. I wish they stay there as they are brightening up that place. All the very best for your gardening ventures 🥰👍🏼

[@BCBRENDA]

Beautiful garden!! New to your channel! Have u thought about switching out some of your knick out roses with a few of your hydrangeas by the driveway? Just a thought.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! I absolutely have, I actually mentioned that in one of my recent videos. My knock out Rose's are looking beautiful at the moment so of course i don't want to move them now. But eventually in the next couple of years, I'm going to swap out things that require some maintenance like deadheading (ie. Roses) for things like flowering/multi season interest shrubs like hydrangeas. Thank you for subscribing, and for your comment 🌱

[@Petalsandstamens]

Hi Steph thank you for sharing your videos. Can I ask why you have terracotta pots on stakes?

[@funstuff6041]

Stunning garden. I want to grow white perennial hibiscus and gomphrena. How many gomphrena plants did you put in ground? Does it spread? Does white hibiscus bloom all summer? Is this hibiscus deer resistant?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! The Luna White hibiscus is perrenial, and comes back each year. It blooms for 2-3 weeks in the late summer. Not deer resistant in my garden. I have timo spray it will repellent when i notice it budding up. As for the gomphrena, I used a whole pack of seeds. I have about 3 plants in each window box, and a whole hedge of it along my front walkway. Those i planted a seed every 8-10 inches.

[@cass77788]

such a cute garden, small but still cute as can be. The queen lime is BLUSH, not blotch....lol silly goose😆😆you said your grasses were dry from lack of water do you not have an inground sprinkler in your garden? i have that hibiscus, they do very well. did you pinch your cosmos to double your blooms?? that may be why they are as you say "scraggly" lol

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, thank you. We do have inground irrigation but couldn't use it as it could dry up our well. As for pinching, yes I did both Cosmos and zinnias. And actually the variety was queen lime Blush. They make both blotch, and Blush. I must have called it incorrectly 😊

[@karenlehn2351]

Are you ever affected by the pesky Japanese Beetles! We have tried it all to get rid of them.We just go on patrol a few times a day knocking the beetles off from rose,leaves into a soapy water mix,then toss in garbage when dead.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Karen!! Yes! They were on my hibiscus a bit this year. I also found them on my Rose's. I had one rose in particular that they were very attracted too, it was a sunny yellow knockout Rose. I removed it last year and this year I had less beetles, but still had some. Mostly I just picked them off and squished them. But going out early with a container of soapy water to dunk them in is helpful also.

[@chloek.5076]

Hi Steph, is you double play candy corn in full sun? Mine are in full morning sun but I found a lot of lower branches are all brown and dried out. It’s their 1st year. I water them 2 times daily. They are pushing out new growth but old leaves are dried out. Yours look beautiful. Any tips?

[@ivettesantana4319]

Are those special cosmos you put in planters because mine grow to 7 feet so am thinking you have a different variety or does the pot keep the height under control?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Ivette, Yes they were a shorter variety. I tried daydream, and a princess white variety.

[@khinekhine613]

How do you control Japanese beetles? They are chewing up my rose of Sharon and roses.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi, I have some too. I just pick them off and squish them. Another option is to go out with a container of soapy water (dish soap and water), and go collect as many as you can. They are pretty short lived, but annoying to deal with for those few weeks.

Do you dead head the double pink knock out roses? I am new to gardening. I have that same plant, The tag on it says no need ro dead head? Should I still do it?
