I look forward to waking up early Saturday mornings to attend summer school with Laura! Coffee- Dirt- Fertilizer Sniffff..... Yumm☕️
Hello very nice video, I 'm going to show my mother n law how to watch your channel, she was 95 this March,if she's not out gardening, she's quilting,I love learning from her and I share a little knowledge, I learned most,starting with my Grandfather.I'm sure she will enjoy your channel, thank you
Good morning. Wish you a happy life from lebanon 🇱🇧
I recieved Big Root Geranium (a purple variety, zone 7a) from a friend decades ago and it has served me well as a ground cover. It spreads easily and I just rip off a piece, plant it in a new location, and it takes off. Even ripped out a section, threw the pieces in a pile, forgot to discard, and by the time I noticed, they were growing. Decided to leave the pile over the winter and it came back in the spring! Love them!
Hardy geraniums are a great perennial for the landscape and a nice addition to your beautiful gardens.
You know me, anything with blue flowers is okay with me!💚💚💚
Shocking that even Laura has weeds!!🤪 That was pretty good size too! You made a lot of people smile with that today!
Thanks for helping me to “get over” my preconceived bias against these plants. We have a wild form of these that are a weed in our Virginia garden and I think that this has soured me against even trying the improved varieties. You’ve convinced me- I’m going to plant a drift and see what they can do.
The one I had is too tall, I wanted something shorter in that spot, I did cut it back this week, am thinking of moving it though
Nothing wrong with planting native plants. Less likely to get diseases too since they are native to that area.
thank you for this most interesting video. I love to plant things in my garden that have the same name as my family members (Lily, Starr, Jessica, Sharon, etc.). My youngest grand-daughter is named Mavis and I just knew I would never, ever find something to plant in her honor. Thanks to your video I now know the perfect plant for her !!!! who knew ??? I can't wait to find 'em, get 'em ordered and in the ground. Your growing garden is looking absolutely stunning - you, Aaron, Benjamin and the whole crew are doing a fabulous job, and I'm grateful you have chosen to share it all with us. Have a great weekend !!!
I like the focus on a single plant and its varieties. The information is invaluable to those of us with smaller spots when choosing plants. You have also broadened my plant horizons. Believe me, we enjoy how much you share with us. So enlightening and your personality makes each presentation so delightful!
Laura, I give you such credit for the names of plants that you can remember. I love it. Love the roses.
I am completely infatuated with Rozanne, the petal colour is just spectacular. I can’t walk past without crooning over them and telling them how gorgeous they are 🥰
Russell is definitely a supervisor....laying down on the job for a nap!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed weekend
You too!!!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ I am in awe 🫢 of the grass edges. Such a sharp line. I have grass envy 💚Aaron has outdone himself! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I'm so glad you are featuring Hardy Geraniums! These are one of my top plants in my garden! They are no fuss and add so much beauty. They are a not-so-well-known plant that I've relied on for years!!! They have been around for a while, as my neighbor shared some with me over 35 years ago, and I still have some from that original plant. I have both the blue and the pink varieties. They are disease resistant as well, at least in New England, 6B. Right now, they are growing up into my baby's breath and it looks so beautiful!!! You can't go wrong with Hardy Geraniums!!
Good morning, have a beautiful day! 🎉❤
Russell is a star
Been having these perennial geraniums for years now, love them. The Johnson Blue’s name is asked regularly because it’s such a happy and long lasting bloomer. Love how the evergreens give year round interest. Combine the non evergreen ones with a spring bulb and you have full season interest there too. Highly recommend if you’ve never tried them, to do so.
Gotta love those hard working plants that make up the backbone of our gardens. No matter the gardeners expertise, these plants perform so quietly and steadily that they can sometimes be overlooked for the showstoppers. Thanks for highlighting them. 👍
It’s certainly a joy for me to watch you develop these areas also!
When I saw that peach yarrow I was like “heyyy… I don’t remember that during the recent tour??” lol… actually, going to go re-watch the recent tour because I’m curious about what you have planted just before the yellow yarrow you and Benjamin planted.
it feels like the world is crumbling around us but you & your family & your gardens & this channel ease my anxiety and angst. I am grateful for you. Thank you 🙏🏼♥️
It must be the most joyful thing to be able to work in all your gardens everyday! Makes me happy to live vicariously through you and these videos. :o)
isn't that the truth, especially when you have a short growing season and the weather is cold and rainy for one of the three month :(
Morning Everyone 🌸💕🌸
This was a good one. New plant choices-something different! I’m so tired of petunias: perennials as so interesting. Dig deep in your knowledge and research and show us more👍
I am a “perennial” planter (prefer these to annuals) but I can not find Hardy Geraniums in any of our garden centers/nurseries/big box stores! I researched and found that some are zoned for my area (9A) but, alas no one carries them! I have changed a lot of things in my landscape after getting “hooked” on Garden Answer, but some things just can’t be done in our hot, humid environment here in sunny northeast Florida! Enjoy your weekend GA fans! 🌴🌞🌸
I am in zone 8a, coastal NC and I didn’t think these could survive here. I really hope to find some that can withstand the heat and humidity also!
Jenny from Creekside nursery is in the south and may have some videos on plants more suited to those zones?
Thank u for sharing all the variety to be found in hardy geraniums. I had no idea ♥️
I have perennial geraniums throughout my yard. A small clump was given to me 18-20 years ago by a neighbor who grows it in her Brittany garden. It's been thriving everywhere (N,E, W exposures) with no fertilizing and even lasted 3.5 years on rainwater. I love it and so easy to pull up and give away or plant in other ground cover situations. Just stick a piece in the ground and water consistently. I'm in Zone 6 I believe, Paris France suburbs. Mine has dark pink flowers and is winter hardy. Just some cleanup pulling older branches out and larger, old leaves in early Spring! Thanks for showcasing this great little plant!
Good morning! 🌻🐝
I love rozanne, here in the uk it blooms all summer until autumn. Great value for money 🤩🌺
I absolutely love alll of your roses. Especially the white ones tucked in. I’ve told my son every time I watch you I wanna buy more flowers. He’s 3 and he says no more flowers mama 😂
So this is the result of knowledge...vision...desire...inspiration...on and on...
Ms. Laura...you are an absolutely AMAZING young woman.
Delightful to follow your hard work in developing your space.
Thankyou for sharing!
I have a bunch of Rozanne in my garden, and I've never even deadheaded any of it but it still blooms reliably from June through November in my area (Zone 6, MA). I've had to replace a handful over the years but most of them have held up beautifully - and I just love the blooms, it's a gorgeous flower. (Easy to press, too - holds its color even when dried!)
One of my favorite plants!
Can you tell me where you have it planted? Full sun?
@@stephanieturney6292 most are in part sun part shade, but I have some in places that get 6+ hrs and they thrive.
I love Rozanne. I have her in full sun here in zone 8b & she is doing fine.
I have Rozanne underneath an arbor that has an akebia vine on it. It gets morning sun but is in shade from noon on. It still does really well. I, too, have never pruned mine, and it keeps blooming until late fall (I'm in zone 5b, IL).
I love hardy geraniums. I buy them often in the hot summer when I should be finished buying for the year but I need that "fix". (I know y'all know what I'm talking about.) I tuck them in where I don't really need anything more but why not. They never disappoint. Thanks for the info about the different varieties. I feel so smart after I watch your videos.
Oh my the way your planting out you'll soon have those bare patches filled!Looking good !👊👊👏👏👍
Russell is just so gosh darn cute!! Love how the new garden is progressively coming along gorgeously!! Hope to see some Paul projects apart of Garden Answer's videos in the future.
& where would one see those? (Just curious) 😊♥️
Um, is he an employee apart from GA?
@@dianequist835 Paul? I mean does he have a channel or somewhere to see his projects?
@@staceyallard2692 to my knowledge, no. In fact he's been known to be a little camera shy.
I think that’s a typo. I think it should read “ a part of GA videos” 😊
Laura talking to Russell - too funny! Made me laugh out loud. Okay Russell watcha gonna do?
that cat loves you, he is always close by
I would love to see when you cut these back. I have hardy geraniums and have never cut them back. Love your channel!
Thank you so much for such an in-depth narrative on hardy geraniums. I’ve only been exposed to the varieties that the big box stores provide. Quite an impressive plant.
Good morning from Delaware, GA friends.
How fun! How do you not get overwhelmed about the large garden areas you need to develop? How do you plan out which ways you want to go? Do you decide by what’s available to plant or think farther ahead?
Laura thanks for the early Saturday video!!! I've just started to get into geraniums last season and they really are garden workhorses. I will also add many more in the garden along with asters so I can extend the seasonal interest! Thanks for the inspiration!!😎🌿
I’ve had a few varieties of geraniums, both ground cover and tall ones. I don’t think I bought any of them but were gifted them from friends. It’s such a hardy plant that it bounced right back after I had to roll my gorilla cart over it multiple times. It does spread slowly but isn’t hard to control. I find it does respect plants close by but it will grow around them. What I think is the most value is the lovely foliage which is unique.
This has been so motivating!! And the loop is looking so awesome!!! Oh oh!! That little empty spot could use bunny tail grass! Poor btg was taking root in your gator!🤗😆❤❤🌸🌸🌸
I have some hardy geraniums that have been coming back for 15 years. I planted them in with spring bulbs. So, when the spring flowers are finishing, these grow up and start blooming. A bonus is the hyacinth stalks support the geraniums.
What timing! I recently watched a video of yours in which you mentioned hardy geraniums and about a week ago, I found some at Lowe's of all places. They aren't any of the varieties you mentioned, but they are a variety zoned down to my zone of 4 here in NY. I planted 3 in front of some new "Quick Fire" hydrangeas which are all in a bed alongside my patio. I "discovered" the newer varieities of hydrangeas from you after growing up looking at hydrangeas as the "old ladies' plants that flop over. Here I am now a 66-year old "old lady" (LOL) planting hydrangeas which do NOT flop and loving them! I have discovered SO many types of plants from you and lucked out finding your channel in 2020 right after I got a patio put in and was then able to start creating flower beds and turn the front and back areas of my house in to wonderful spaces. Yet again, your videos encouraged me to try another new plant which I didn't know about or had preconceived ideas about.
You Are an Amazing Inspiration Laura! 👏 Congratulations! 👏
Thank you for highlighting these plants.. Hardy geraniums have been a "go to" for me for years now. Johnson Blue is one of favorites.
Lovely, lovely, lovely, Laura. So nice that you have such a large area to fill in. It enables you to give us all so much information about so many different varieties of plants as well as design. You provide such great information for gardeners. Thank you. 🥰🦋🕊
I have to laugh at the shock she experienced from that huge weed! 🤣😂🤣 “How dare you grow in my garden!” I can imagine her saying that. Too funny.
Oh my word, Russell! You are adorable! He just loves you, Laura :)
I live in central NY State. I am a beginning gardener. I depend on people for advice. Three weeks ago, feeling bad about not putting any flowers on my parent's grave this year, I went to a local nursery to see what I could find. One of the staff suggested I could pot a hardy geranium (Rozanne) and take it to the cemetery. In a few weeks, when it got too cold, I could bring it home and plant it in the garden in the front of my house, clip it off short, and it would survive the winter. I picked the healthiest looking plant I could find, around 1 foot in diameter. It had a couple leaves with black spots. I asked the owner of the nursery if the spots were frost damage. (We had a unusually cold (30 degree) weather a couple weeks beforehand. The owner told me the spots were normal on this species this time of year, and I should just clip off those leaves. She suggested I add some perlite to my potting mix. . The plant was expensive - $17 I bought some new potting soil $13 and the only bag of perlite I could find $25 I cleaned and disinfected the pot carefully before transplanting the geranium. I watered it and took it to the cemetery. Two days later I went to the cemetery and found it completely covered with black spots. Most of the blooms had fallen, and the plant was almost dead. The temperatures had not fallen below 62 deg F. I am so mad. I believe that nursery owner knew that plant was diseased. I'm sure this is a fungus. I brought the plant into my home to keep it out of the rain thinking this might help it recover. I have been applying neem oil, hoping that will kill the fungus, but so far no luck. Is there anything I can do to save this plant? Would the roots survive if I planted this weakened plant in the garden? Do I risk infecting the rest of the plants in my garden (daffodil bulbs and chives)?
“Roseanne Roseannadanna” is all I kept hearing in my head throughout the whole video 😂 Love the geraniums, I need to get blue/purple variety to grow wild here in Washington zone 8b, they grew wild in Alaska where I grew up and I miss seeing them around!
I love Roxanne, here in the uk it flowers until autumn! Such value for money with the length of time they bloom 🤩🌺
Good morning! We have several wild geraniums here, a low more thigh canapé but a neon pink bloom is everywhere! It’s so beautiful and blooms almost all summer. We have lambs ear wild growing in the same time beside them. 😍
🤩
What zone are in located in?
@@Gin0827 Sweden! In the island Gotland, we have the mildest climate in Sweden, hardly any snow, rarely below-5C, often 0C in winter, between +20-+35C in summer. Cold springs and mild autumns. Island of limestone and wild roses. Even fig trees grows here!
Oh I need some white wands Veronica in my life! 🤍🤍🤍
Can’t wait to start gardening again 🥹💚
lol Russel makes an appearance in every video. What a friendy nice cat
Hi Laura, it's always a pleasure to see your videos :) Why don't you put some geraniums Rozanne before in your garden? You missed something :) I grow this until more than 10 years now, and they are awesome! Every garden(er) need a Rozanne :) They bloom from the beginning of June to November, sometimes December if the weather is not too cold ( i live in the north of France: zone 8b and i apologize for my approximative english :( ). You don't have to do something to get these blooms, no cut back. Geranium maccrorhyzum is like more a semi evergreen, it grows well on shade to part sun, and it grows quickly but it don't flower a second time even if you cut it back :) So i'm exited to see your next videos because you have a beautiful garden, and you share so much. Bye.
I've been waiting for a hardy geranium video for soooo long, this was perfect! Thank you!
Hi Laura! Those geraniums are really pretty. I had a hardy geranium in 2 different pots, but they quit blooming so I threw them away. Also, I didn't like the smell. I'm hoping to find a scented hardy geranium. Thank you so much for sharing!
Try geranium Maderense, it covers about 4/5 foot across and about 4 foot high, fabulous bright pink flowers and lasts well.
Geranium Rozanne is my favourite perennial. Just add some drifts off lady's mantle and heuchera. Those are my faves.
YAY!! So happy to see this title!
Since watching your "15 Perrenials Every Garden Should Have" video (over and over), I've been wanting to put in hardy geraniums! As a beginner, you are my main source for gardening information and I hadn't been able to find info out there that is so comprehensive and EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you!!!
I came across your channel about a few weeks ago. Absolutely love watching your videos, and seeing everything your adding to your property. Absolutely beautiful. I get excited when you guys go tree shopping lol. Cheers from your neighbour to the north.
If you have time, go back and watch the videos when they moved in (also her Highlight channel). The changes are remarkable!
@@wilmasgarden3098 will do! Thanks for letting me know.
Start my day watching your video and ending my day watching your videos. So inspiring. Thank you!
Love the updates!!! My garden needs some geraniums, anything that’s hardy is my kind of flower 👍
I love Russell! AND your videos!
Thanks for tips! Beautiful flowers! Like your cat.. so cute!
I planted my first hardy geraniums this year and they're gorgeous...I need more! 🌱
I never knew about hardy geraniums until I saw them in one of your videos last year. I planted some around the patio area outside our basement doors, and I must admit it’s an area I tend to forget about because I don’t see it all the time. Every once in a while I’ll be down there and look out the window and there they are, performing their little hearts out without any care or notion from me! I think to myself, “go, you little beauties!” You’re correct, they are a beautiful, no fuss plant! Thank you for opening my eyes to them!
Good morning!!
Love, love, love Rozanne. We underplanted a row of 16 white panicle hydrangeas with Rozanne, and it performed vigorously in our Western WA, zone 7a garden. They bloomed continuously from May to October, and we even had to pull it out of the hydrangeas regularly because it was so vigorous it would grow up into them. The combination of white hydrangeas and blue/lavender geraniums was stunning.
I have Geranium “Dreamland” (a pale pink) under my Little Quickfire hydrangea, and I LOVE the way it comes up through the shrub. 😍
Laura you are so much help to me to be interested in new plantings. Never heard of Yellow my Darling echinacea.
I have some and love them. I had them in a semi shady place. Since I moved to a bit sunnier place and they are thriving. I love to combine them with Hakone grasses. Mine seem to be spreading too.
I learned a lot from your gardening and i also have read an article about leaf-blowers-lawn-mowers-and-fertilizer and how-lawns-contribute to climate change...
love geraniums! have you ever tried geranium phaeum? i have 'raven', which has beautiful leaf markings, and really great for shady locations. digging dog nursery has a whole bunch, including the difficult to find 'sambor'. claus dalby just showed a variety in his shady garden tour
Good morning Laura , while I loved the video and the planting of the hardy geraniums, all I could hear was Benjamin and I planted this, this, and this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved when you were putting together the fountain how interested he was in helping with that project. Hope your weekend is great. Hugs from N.C..❤️
I’ve got 4 varieties of hardy geranium in my yard. I think you would love the leaves on my most recent acquisition: the Mourning Widow cranesbill geranium. It produces almost burgundy flowers in late May to early June. The leaves, however, are the reason I had to grab it! They are the familiar shape of a hardy geranium in green with a chocolate chevron pattern. Very Striking! So, the plant is gorgeous when blooming but also of interest when not in flower. My hardy geraniums do well in part sun, but do not like full shade!
Good morning 🌱☕
I simply love the Rozanne geranium. I planted some next to my PW Little Limelight hydrangeas and my Happy Returns daylilies and let the geraniums grow up and through them. The colours play well against each other, and these geraniums bloom non-stop throughout the summer. I’m in zone 5 (Ontario, Canada) and have used them in full sun to partial shade. They always perform very well! Sometimes too well, and I have to shear them back into a more manageable shape, not that I’m complaining about that :)
I've been wanting to add hardy geraniums to my garden, so this information is really useful. Thank you. Everything in your space is so looking so beautiful.
Always a special treat to see what you're doing each day. I always thought that geraniums needed more shade than sun; so this was an eye opener for me. Thanks 💜💜
Compost is a useful mulch for sure
Am I the only one who didn’t know ‘fire resistant’ was a way to classify and describe plants…??? That’s pretty cool and I like when you guys add cool facts like that about all the wonderful plants!
Thanks for sharing this. I am planting my first this year. They'll be a lovely addition. 😊
Love these so much. I grow them on my balcony! Ballerina is my favourite. Super hardy and comes back every year even with our winters.
Thank you for these videos. I can’t get enough of them!
All the plants are so beautiful together, I love the red leaf shrubs.
I love hardy geraniums! I planted a couple of “biokovo” this year. I think they are a bit stressed by the record precipitation we’ve had this year, but they are lovely especially because the leaves have a citrusy scent that I can notice from a few feet away.
I have some, too, and really love them. Working anywhere near them in the garden, I can always catch a whiff of their perfume!
I planted a couple of these two years ago and now have a really nice patch. They make a nice little ground cover, but are well behaved enough to have in the flower bed. Bees love the blooms!
Those look very pretty!Laura can you do an update or a tour of your mom's butterfly garden?🦋🌻
Thank you for all the excellent information and motivation!! You are a natural in front of the camera. Love Russel too!
It’s just a joy to sit and have my coffee in morning and see what you guys are doing around your garden! Everything is just coming together so beautifully!
That tall weed offended Laura so much that she just snatched it out one-handed with root n all with no problem whatsoever while I'm over here working up a whole bucket of sweat trying to pull out weeds half that size with both my hands 🤦♀️🤣
😂😂😂
So fun to see your garden expanding! It is truly growing in to a beautiful place!
Love each and every one of your videos. It’s the first thing I check every morning! I’ve learned so much from you - thank you so much!
perfect timing! i was cutting back my rozanne's today, lol... i love them.. i have geraniums (all types) everywhere.. the pelargonium are great in pots and i have a mixed tapestry of geraniums: hardy and pelargonium, in a small curving bed around our inground spa... so easy to take care of, all are perennial for me here in zone 10b, and easy peasy to take care of.. i do have to treat for budworm but otherwise, just occasional deadheading and cutting back and they are beautiful... i love some of the varieties you showed us here today, will have to look for the ones i don't have! these areas are filling in beautifully!!! love watching you plant and watching things grow! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤
Thanks so much for another totally enjoyable video. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of gardening is appreciated.
Everything is looking so beautiful 🤩
These were beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I love seeing your progress day by day and week by week. You, Aaron, and the kids are doing a phenomenal job.
