Your garden is so breathtaking. It has fared so well despite the excessive heat this season. I wish I didn't have to lift all my dahlias every year. I make sure they are placed in raised beds...where I can manipulate the soil medium. That clematis you showed in the early part of the video is lovely!
Thanks AJ! Certainly my dahlias are ‘safer’ in the ground as the first time I lifted them I didn’t manage to look after them properly. That clematis is flowering a bit later than usual which is nice.
OMG ...windy ...protect your Plants from Wind ( damage). Your garden looks stunning. Big variety of colours, textures,... a lot of work ...but a fantastic result. Congratulations. Here in Flanders there was a drought, soil was too hard to work in and too dry to plant anything or to get them established. I ve kept new plants in protected areas and the last weeks ....I could manage to plant them in the landscape. They seem to do well ...which makes me really happy. It was a challanging Summer. I think a new era of gardening has begun. We need to find drought tolerant and strong plants ... It s sad to cope with this limitations. greetings from Flanders Marcus
Hello Marcus, looks as though your Summer was similar to ours. It will indeed be interesting to see how the gardeners react to this last Summer and what changes we make. Some people are indeed looking towards a more Mediterranean style planting. Greetings to Flanders.
Hi Paul T. It all looks so lovely. I put in all the same color canna this year. Really have enjoyed them. Have to lift them here. I got them 1/2 price, not sure I will have time to mess with them. Have a grand son due any day. Our first frost will be soon here. I will enjoy seeing how yours fair left in the ground. Every garden is a Beauty to see. Loved the tour!
Hi Marti, glad you've done well with your cannas this year, I will learn a lot this Winter as it's the first time I have some in the ground. Congratulations on a new grandson!
Gorgeous garden! I was laughing with the intro of your video, because that's how I was a couple of weeks ago when the air knocked over my pots, and also it was my yellow Brugmansia. I already have mine in the garage, because at night is getting cold, but in the morning I put them outside because it’s still warm for this time of the season. Thank you so much for showing us your beautiful garden💚💚💚🪴🌵🍂🍁
Very interesting garden tour. Still lots of colour in Oct. Your tropicals did amazing. Lucky you being able to leave them in the ground over winter. Lovely selection of Cannas.
What a great tour of your back garden! I am a big fan of Cannas, so it was nice to see different varieties. I don't have any Dahlias, but seeing your "Moonfire" makes me want to try them.
Hello Paul, Wow your tropical bed has done really well. I am going to get some Dahlias after seeing all of yours especially the Bishop of Llandaff I just loved that one. Paul can you show us how you take your clematis cuttings, please. You seem to have a good success rate with your cuttings so would be interesting to see how you do them. Thanks for sharing your wonderful garden with us It is always the highlight of my day when I watch your videos.
Hi Joanna, that dahlia is a great choice! Yes - good idea - I’ll do a video on cuttings, but it’s too late in the year now so I’ll do it once the weather warms up enough for cuttings next year. I’m so pleased you enjoy my videos - makes my day when I hear that. Thank you. 🌸
I always look forward to your tours. I can’t grow anything tropical and don’t do dahlias because I’m in New England, zone 6b but you do have a fabulous garden.
Very nice Paul. Your cannas are exquisite. My friend just throws his banana plants under his house then plants them again in the spring. Zone 7a, they are gorgeous every year.
Thank you Theresa. That’s good to know what other experienced people do with their cannas each Winter. I’m looking forward to getting into a reliable yearly routine.
Oh my goodness, your garden is so stunning. Here in zone 4b we've already had a few frosts and may have our first snow of the season next week. Thankfully I have your channel to turn to when things here are frozen. Thank you so much for sharing your world with us. 🥀🌻💮
You certainly have a proper Winter Colleen. It will be interesting to see what ours is like this year. Our normal first frost is 2nd week of December but it’s all in the lap of the winds. I appreciate you watching and commenting. 🌸
A lovely look around indeed! Several years ago I had some Tropicana canna return in my client's zone 5 garden for two years. It was inadvertently left behind when I was doing my fall clean out of the annual beds. Imagine my surprise when it came up the first year! It was planted in a free draining, south facing garden that backed up to a concrete patio. I would venture to guess that it was a combination of a protected area and a milder winter those two years. Thanks for sharing Paul. I'm interested to see what comes up in your garden next year!
That is a nice surprise - and a micro-climate in part of their garden. A few Winters ago I left out, and forgot about, an aeonium that was in a pot - had ‘died’ and was just a stalk. In the Spring I was tidying up, going to throw it on the compost heap and noticed it had buds everywhere! It is by my front door right now as a mature multi-stemmed plant. It will be put in the porch next month as I don’t want to push my luck with it!
Totally agree with you on the faffing issue! My plants need to be tough and self sufficient. I will wrap my olive tree pot in bubble wrap, but that's it!
Wow! your tropical garden in it's first year, very rewarding! As you were talking cannas, I paused and raced out to see if my one and only first canna had spired, I tickled the mulch back and ....nothing, I am wondering if all this rain has rotted my rhizome! I cannot believe as an Australian I have to worry about my dahlias and new canna rotting, but here I am, IT WILL NOT STOP raining. My D. cafe au lait has spired, yay... soil is so cold, too. Earth worms are drowning now and we have another 100mm due this week. I am so glad your cannas were a huge success, very healthy specimens all of them. Cleopatra is a spectacular plant. Yes, no stress for you with your two frosts a year, lol !! ; )
Gosh - you certainly have gone through the mill with bad weather recently. Now I’m not very experienced with cannas but I think they are quite tough and aren’t as susceptible to rotting as dahlias can be. Good luck with them, maybe as soon as your soil warms up they’ll respond. I have to admit - I find being stress free is much easier said than done! Would be great if this Winter is like last year’s. 🏝
Haha, I did think you sounded more zen than the normal gardener worrying about overwintering new plants! Let's just hear you at the end of November!! Hehe. I reckon your cannas will be ok, your bananas on the other hand... excuse the pun...will need hessian undergarments (Blackadder reference) will need to be wrapped in hessian. I don't care if they only cost £7 Don't kill them 😫😱🤣 (just joking with you.)
We breed tough bananas over here 🤣. Of course I have absolutely no practical Winter experience with bananas yet - but I do read a lot lol. I’ve had a word with the musa basjoo and it is happy to have a go at a hessian free Winter. (Front garden philly is rolling her eyes) Red banana has already said “no way” So still deciding on that one - trying not to let the Zen mask slip quite yet. My October song is Que sera, sera 🎶. Not sure what December’s song is yet. 😱🌴
I don't know about a song, but Dad's Army in December "Don't panic, Don't panic!" springs to mind. I can't believe the English are growing quite a variety of tropical plants and my hardy ferns die every winter. Is there a sulk emoji? What about an UNFAIR button I can press? 🤣.
No worries, mate, she'll be right. .. I'll bet once your temperatures get going, your tropicals will look great and I'll be in 'December; don't panic Mr. Mannering mode' lol
Your garden is looking amazing Paul. I really like the Clematis Bill Mackenzie and the Dahlias. So pleased that your beautiful tropical plants have been such a success for you. They've grown so tall in such a short time haven't they?
Thank you Wendy. I am amazed at the cannas - I have watered the ones in pots every single day and given tomorite regularly but even so - they're great! The Bill Mackenzie has flowered beautifully this year - later than usual as well.
Really lovely, the cannas especially. I planted some dwarf yrs ago, they ended up about 6' tall. I have the red dragon, planted one by the pond, when I cut back what spilled over to the pond, it was loaded with roots. Hope you have a nice weekend.
@@paultsworld Indeed I was, I gave those away. The following year, they were even taller. We've had rain where I live from the end of Ian, some 5 - 6 days. Beautiful sunny day today, I had a project I've been waiting for rain. I had some deep holes to dig, it was pretty easy, thank goodness, I'm getting too old for some of my bright ideas.
That is so convenient for the tropical plants - not having frosts. All the talk in Britain between gardeners is how to over Winter the tender plants - and of course we never know what the Winter will be like.
Yes thank you Paul, I enjoyed your incredible display of Spring to Autumn; but awful to see the damage. I laughed at 'minimal' work, recalling your labours making and changing it all. We've had that wind for over a week: thrashing trees, rain battering everything. It's dark, can't see across the road, cloud sweeping across at ground level. Neighbour's tree sent conkers everywhere so I filled a pocket, will pot some. *New life on golden acer!
I know - ‘minimal work’ is all relative! Lol Yesterday I was busy digging out that potentilla in the front garden - didn’t feel very minimal at the time - a cup of tea did revive me though. Great that there are new leaves on the acer - new life is always fabulous to see. Weather wild here too! I have acorns sprouting round the garden - hadn’t even realised that my little oak had produced any - and no idea how it got them past the house round to the front garden.
@@paultsworld I think the tremendous heat and huge amounts of rain have produced all the new seeds etc., even my camellias have fruit. I refer you to the new border, the shed bed and how to make compost - with no oil in yr can!! lol
I enjoyed this video too! I live in zone 5 and of course I take in all the dahlias and cannas. Not complicated: dig up after first killing frost, cut off leaves, let dry upside down in garage then transfer to paper shopping bags and cardboard boxes and sprinkle with H20 monthly. Your Tropicanna looks completely different from mine! My foliage is much more brightly colored
Glad you enjoyed the video Lauren. Thank you for the good advice on indoor over-wintering. I have noticed Tropicanas vary greatly - maybe yours enjoy a hotter Summer so are brighter?
Beautiful garden, I do agree with you to not to get stress and just see what will happen. Very informative and thank you for naming them so we have an idea what to plant. New gardening friend here - regards - Glenda 😊
I long to have a great brugmansia like yours! Have you ever considered lifting out a paver and counter-sinking the pot to anchor it against wind? You could always put the paver back when you winter store the plant☺️
Actually that's a good idea. Some people have the brugmansia in a smallish pot with very large drainage holes. They then plant it in the ground in May and the roots grow through the holes. In late Autumn you then dig up the pot - cutting off all the roots on the outside of the pot - over winter, then repeat the following May. Because it has such a lovely canopy mine catches the wind so easily, so maybe I should do something similar!
You continue to inspire me (my husband now watches with me!). I was particularly interested in the banana’s and cannas as this year I bought both at reduced prices from garden centres - both I’ve put in pots and both are in my gazebo for the winter, the banana has grown so well and would guess will be too big for overwintering in there next year. Absolutely love watching your videos. 🏆
Hi Jill, great to hear you are now also enjoying bananas and cannas and have solved over-wintering for this year. I’ve really enjoyed their spectacular growth the Summer. I’m so pleased you like my videos. 🌻
Thank you again Paul. I envy you gardening in zone 9, I’m in East Yorkshire and zone 7 I believe, so pretty keen frosts plus wet weather! Not good for overwintering tender plants. Your garden is a delight, thankyou for sharing it.
Hi Stephen - I must say I do enjoy our (usually) mild Winters here - we can get a lot of rain though being on the West side of Britain. It can be colder in Yorkshire but what fabulous scenery and countryside you have!
Oh I love your garden tours Paul and now I really want a Grimaldi too, it’s magnificent, especially as a tree form. I’m going to look out for one but I’m not sure my FB Marketplace is going to be as good as yours 😊 and I need new cannas too, mine used to be ok left outside and I’m in zone 8. And dahlias, well worth £3.99. Moonfire is really pretty. Love your tropical border. I’ve just bought a tiny palm tree so I’m encouraged to hear you say it should be ok over winter. And yes, I must try bananas. You have given me some wonderful plant ideas for next year, I need to start a list 😊 and I want a stress free garden life like you too. Thanks for a wonderful tour in your garden 🥰
Hi Janette, I am so pleased you enjoyed the tour - seeing each other’s gardens really fires us up for next Spring! I really like the palm tree - my first one. Which palm tree did you get? I checked my notes and in fact the Grimaldi was from a Facebook group rather than local marketplace. Join the Facebook groups ‘Brugmansias R Us’ & ‘Brugmansia UK’ People will be offering rooted brugmansia cuttings in the Spring and will post. For cannas and all other tropicals I’ve used these guys: Turn it tropical Toucan Tropicals Grow Paradise These guys are members of the ‘Tropical’ Facebook groups such as: Uk Tropical plant growers’ & ‘Tropical jungle style gardening’ They contribute, advise & advertise on these groups so it’s great to hear what they have to say and to source plants. Happy, stress-free gardening, Paul
@@paultsworld ooh thank you, I will join those groups and hopefully find someone next Spring. My palm is called a chamaerops which is supposed to be one of the hardiest, doesn’t grow very big though, but it’s closely related to the Trachycarpus and mine is doing really well. So only a little one. But it’s still in its pot, I’m waiting for the last of my zinnias to fade as I think it’s going in their spot. I didn’t have much luck at all with annuals this year with all the heat. But I’m going to follow your lead and have less stress in my garden. Wishing you a wonderful weekend my friend 💕
That’s the same as my palm - yes, I believe it’s very hardy. Have a good stress-free weekend - think the weather should improve up here after the rain most of today. I might do some gardening - for a change! 🌸
Hi Paul. Your garden looks great. I'm going to buy some persicaria. Love the shape of the leaves. Do the foliage die back in winter.? We have had non stop rain this past week. God bless. 🇮🇪
Hi Catherine, it will be my first year with all these tropicals but I have read and am expecting the Persicaria leaves and stems to die right back and then grow again in the spring. I have seen your rain on the weather charts! I have had a good share of it as well - it’s pouring down right now 😃 all the best.
We have two main types of bees: bumble bees and honey bees. The ones you saw on the flowers are bumblebees- they are a wild bee. I do get honey bees that come from someone’s bee hive that they keep for honey. I don’t have any bee hives but a friend of mine has about 5 hives and he does collect the honey.
You can leave the Canna to overwinter in the ground if they don`t go soak wet, due to the rot. Cover it with mulch, and put a flat stone over it, to collect the heat of the winter sun, and a direct rain, wetness. I do this in Germany, which is colder than your area, also to my dahlias, etc. They survive, mostly, unless once when it was -20°c
bildik sıradan çiçeklerden değil bunlar bence özeller bahçenizde adını bilmediğim çiçeklerde var çoooook güzel eşiniz şanslı bence bahçe çiçeklik olmuş türkiyeden sevgiler selamlar😊
Thank you - I am glad you like the flowers and my garden. Greetings to Turkey Teşekkür ederim - Çiçekleri ve bahçemi beğenmenize sevindim. Türkiye'ye selamlar
Glad you liked the banana. It was very cheap (£10) to buy and I planted it (musa Basjoo) in May and it's been great all Summer and grown to 8 feet. Maybe your Summer is hotter than mine and would grow even faster. It's root hardy to -15C. I expect mine to die back to the ground and grow next year. If I protected it with straw it wouldn't even die back. Give it a go next year and see what happens!
@@paultsworld it is very interesting in our places, summer up to 35 degrees happens, we grow canna, but its rhizome is dug up for winter storage, probably bananas can also be grown))
I think the musa basjoo is left in the ground but people dig up and Winter store the other tender banana - the pretty red one and deal with it like a canna.
Paul, another lovely walk around your stunning gardens. It’s too bad you don’t have hummingbirds in the UK they would spend all their time in your garden. Yeah, I don’t like to be wet, cold or stressed either lol :)
@@paultsworld we love the hummingbirds they come to NH to breed, April-September. My son found a hummingbird nest by accident and was able to film them raising their two babies. He had to use his scope as they were up about 40ft in a tree, it was so cool to watch them. He put them all in UA-cam. You should of said that you don’t like being wet and cold either, that would of been funny. 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐🥀🪷
I usually take cuttings but didn’t this season - I did put my three big ones to over-Winter in the garage though. Now is a good time to get some cuttings - try Facebook marketplace and later in the Spring Aldi or Lidl sometimes have them.
Glad you liked my garden. That’s right - same Zone but zones only indicate that our average lowest temperatures in Winter are the same. As you say, the rest of the year it’s a totally different..
Hi Mike, total darkness is fine - my garage has no windows. I strip all the leaves off except any of the really small ones at the growing points. So basically it has no need for light.
Not quite gardening comment but I have to say it:) You are absolutely stunning and very very very charmant man.
That’s very nice of you Ariadna - thank you.
Your garden is so breathtaking. It has fared so well despite the excessive heat this season. I wish I didn't have to lift all my dahlias every year.

Hi , your garden very beautiful in october.The yellow clematic very nice l love it .Have anice day .
Thank you - the clematis has done so well this year and lovely to have late flowers.
You got an amazing and beautiful back garden. Lovely plants with colorful flowers. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that - it’s appreciated.

Very interesting garden tour. Still lots of colour in Oct. Your tropicals did amazing. Lucky you being able to leave them in the ground over winter. Lovely selection of Cannas.
Glad you liked the cannas. Hopefully the Winter will be ‘normal’ - but could also be harsh - so hoping for the best!
Just lovely
Thank you - makes my day.
Your garden is so beautiful.
Thank you for your nice comment.
I’m much colder than your area. I winter my banana trees inside until Spring when all frost is done.
Thank you for letting me know - I love to hear how everyone tackles Winter in their area.
@@Mary What basic plan can one have before trying to set up an allotment? I find it hard deciding whether to do a herb, vegetables or fruits farm.
What a great tour of your back garden! I am a big fan of Cannas, so it was nice to see different varieties. I don't have any Dahlias, but seeing your "Moonfire" makes me want to try them.
I went a bit crazy with cannas this year didn’t I Ellie? They really performed so I’m delighted. Moonfire is my favourite of all - yes, get one! 🌻
Cracking video that one.
Thank you - it’s appreciated.
Wonderful tour Paul 💕
Thanks Jasmine.🌸
Hi Paul!!! Wow, your garden is a paradise! The yellow Brugmansia flower is the real beauty!!! Thanks for showing your garden to us!!!

Cânele e foarte drăguț că și brugmanzia e superbă
Thank you Nina, the brugmansia really flowered well this Summer.
Mulțumesc Nina, brugmansia chiar a înflorit bine în această vară.
Your garden is gorgeous Paul, the yellow angel's trumpet so beautiful!
Thank you Alicia, I am delighted with it.
it has grown so well - from just a small cutting in the Spring. 🌻
Yes thank you Paul, I enjoyed your incredible display of Spring to Autumn; but awful to see the damage. I laughed at 'minimal' work, recalling your labours making and changing it all. We've had that wind for over a week: thrashing trees, rain battering everything. It's dark, can't see across the road, cloud sweeping across at ground level. Neighbour's tree sent conkers everywhere so I filled a pocket, will pot some. *New life on golden acer!
I know - ‘minimal work’ is all relative! Lol
Yesterday I was busy digging out that potentilla in the front garden - didn’t feel very minimal at the time - a cup of tea did revive me though.
Great that there are new leaves on the acer - new life is always fabulous to see.
Weather wild here too!
I have acorns sprouting round the garden - hadn’t even realised that my little oak had produced any - and no idea how it got them past the house round to the front garden.
@@paultsworld I think the tremendous heat and huge amounts of rain have produced all the new seeds etc., even my camellias have fruit.
I refer you to the new border, the shed bed and how to make compost - with no oil in yr can!! lol
Ha, ha - as you say, it’s getting towards compost making time. I’ll be better prepared - maybe!
Love that purplebanana
Spectacular isn’t it!
I enjoyed this video too! I live in zone 5 and of course I take in all the dahlias and cannas. Not complicated: dig up after first killing frost, cut off leaves, let dry upside down in garage then transfer to paper shopping bags and cardboard boxes and sprinkle with H20 monthly. Your Tropicanna looks completely different from mine! My foliage is much more brightly colored
Glad you enjoyed the video Lauren. Thank you for the good advice on indoor over-wintering. I have noticed Tropicanas vary greatly - maybe yours enjoy a hotter Summer so are brighter?
Beautiful garden, I do agree with you to not to get stress and just see what will happen. Very informative and thank you for naming them so we have an idea what to plant. New gardening friend here - regards - Glenda 😊
Hello Glenda, so nice you visited and enjoyed my channel. Thank you.
So glad to see you back Paul! Love your tours.
Thank you Teena, I really appreciate your encouraging words.
I long to have a great brugmansia like yours! Have you ever considered lifting out a paver and counter-sinking the pot to anchor it against wind? You could always put the paver back when you winter store the plant☺️
Actually that's a good idea. Some people have the brugmansia in a smallish pot with very large drainage holes. They then plant it in the ground in May and the roots grow through the holes. In late Autumn you then dig up the pot - cutting off all the roots on the outside of the pot - over winter, then repeat the following May. Because it has such a lovely canopy mine catches the wind so easily, so maybe I should do something similar!
You continue to inspire me (my husband now watches with me!). I was particularly interested in the banana’s and cannas as this year I bought both at reduced prices from garden centres - both I’ve put in pots and both are in my gazebo for the winter, the banana has grown so well and would guess will be too big for overwintering in there next year. Absolutely love watching your videos. 🏆
Hi Jill, great to hear you are now also enjoying bananas and cannas and have solved over-wintering for this year.
I’ve really enjoyed their spectacular growth the Summer.
I’m so pleased you like my videos. 🌻
Thank you again Paul. I envy you gardening in zone 9, I’m in East Yorkshire and zone 7 I believe, so pretty keen frosts plus wet weather! Not good for overwintering tender plants. Your garden is a delight, thankyou for sharing it.
Hi Stephen - I must say I do enjoy our (usually) mild Winters here - we can get a lot of rain though being on the West side of Britain. It can be colder in Yorkshire but what fabulous scenery and countryside you have!
Oh I love your garden tours Paul and now I really want a Grimaldi too, it’s magnificent, especially as a tree form. I’m going to look out for one but I’m not sure my FB Marketplace is going to be as good as yours 😊 and I need new cannas too, mine used to be ok left outside and I’m in zone 8. And dahlias, well worth £3.99. Moonfire is really pretty. Love your tropical border. I’ve just bought a tiny palm tree so I’m encouraged to hear you say it should be ok over winter. And yes, I must try bananas. You have given me some wonderful plant ideas for next year, I need to start a list 😊 and I want a stress free garden life like you too. Thanks for a wonderful tour in your garden 🥰
Hi Janette, I am so pleased you enjoyed the tour - seeing each other’s gardens really fires us up for next Spring! I really like the palm tree - my first one.
Which palm tree did you get?
I checked my notes and in fact the Grimaldi was from a Facebook group rather than local marketplace. Join the Facebook groups ‘Brugmansias R Us’ & ‘Brugmansia UK’
People will be offering rooted brugmansia cuttings in the Spring and will post.
For cannas and all other tropicals I’ve used these guys:
Turn it tropical
Toucan Tropicals
Grow Paradise
These guys are members of the ‘Tropical’ Facebook groups such as: Uk Tropical plant growers’ & ‘Tropical jungle style gardening’
They contribute, advise & advertise on these groups so it’s great to hear what they have to say and to source plants.
Happy, stress-free gardening, Paul
@@paultsworld ooh thank you, I will join those groups and hopefully find someone next Spring. My palm is called a chamaerops which is supposed to be one of the hardiest, doesn’t grow very big though, but it’s closely related to the Trachycarpus and mine is doing really well. So only a little one. But it’s still in its pot, I’m waiting for the last of my zinnias to fade as I think it’s going in their spot. I didn’t have much luck at all with annuals this year with all the heat. But I’m going to follow your lead and have less stress in my garden. Wishing you a wonderful weekend my friend 💕
That’s the same as my palm - yes, I believe it’s very hardy.
Have a good stress-free weekend - think the weather should improve up here after the rain most of today. I might do some gardening - for a change! 🌸
Muy hermoso su jardín
¡Gracias!
Love this tour, thank you
You’re welcome 🌻
Beautiful garden
Thank you.
Hi Paul I love your garden I wish I can visit your garden one day
So nice of you - glad you enjoyed my garden.
le jardin est encore très beau Paul !
Thank you Roger. C’est vrai - Je suis content que ça march toujour dans le jardin en Octobre.
Hi Paul. Your garden looks great. I'm going to buy some persicaria. Love the shape of the leaves. Do the foliage die back in winter.? We have had non stop rain this past week. God bless. 🇮🇪
Hi Catherine, it will be my first year with all these tropicals but I have read and am expecting the Persicaria leaves and stems to die right back and then grow again in the spring.
I have seen your rain on the weather charts! I have had a good share of it as well - it’s pouring down right now 😃 all the best.
Thank you Paul.
Beuatiful. I noticed many bees visit your garden. Did you provide any shelter for them to produce honey?
We have two main types of bees: bumble bees and honey bees.
The ones you saw on the flowers are bumblebees- they are a wild bee.
I do get honey bees that come from someone’s bee hive that they keep for honey. I don’t have any bee hives but a friend of mine has about 5 hives and he does collect the honey.
Thanks for the explanation. I enjoyed your video, cheers.
It looks great thanks for info
You’re most welcome. 🌻
You can leave the Canna to overwinter in the ground if they don`t go soak wet, due to the rot. Cover it with mulch, and put a flat stone over it, to collect the heat of the winter sun, and a direct rain, wetness. I do this in Germany, which is colder than your area, also to my dahlias, etc. They survive, mostly, unless once when it was -20°c
Thank you for the good ideas for over-Wintering - very interesting.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
bildik sıradan çiçeklerden değil bunlar bence özeller bahçenizde adını bilmediğim çiçeklerde var çoooook güzel eşiniz şanslı bence bahçe çiçeklik olmuş türkiyeden sevgiler selamlar😊
Thank you - I am glad you like the flowers and my garden. Greetings to Turkey
Teşekkür ederim - Çiçekleri ve bahçemi beğenmenize sevindim. Türkiye'ye selamlar
thank you
👍🌻
It's just amazing bananas in the garden!! I can only dream about it, I have a very harsh climate, it is sharply continental.
Glad you liked the banana. It was very cheap (£10) to buy and I planted it (musa Basjoo) in May and it's been great all Summer and grown to 8 feet. Maybe your Summer is hotter than mine and would grow even faster. It's root hardy to -15C. I expect mine to die back to the ground and grow next year. If I protected it with straw it wouldn't even die back. Give it a go next year and see what happens!
@@paultsworld it is very interesting in our places, summer up to 35 degrees happens, we grow canna, but its rhizome is dug up for winter storage, probably bananas can also be grown))
I think the musa basjoo is left in the ground but people dig up and Winter store the other tender banana - the pretty red one and deal with it like a canna.
I’d love to buy one of your rooted brugmansia cuttings if you were willing to sell any! A lovely video. Thank you
Glad you liked the video. I don’t send out cuttings but I hope you manage to source one in the Spring.
Paul, another lovely walk around your stunning gardens.
It’s too bad you don’t have hummingbirds in the UK they would spend all their time in your garden.
Yeah, I don’t like to be wet, cold or stressed either lol :)
Hummingbirds would indeed be delightful here Sue. When I said dahlias don’t like to be wet & cold I so nearly said - same as me! 😄🌸
@@paultsworld we love the hummingbirds they come to NH to breed, April-September. My son found a hummingbird nest by accident and was able to film them raising their two babies. He had to use his scope as they were up about 40ft in a tree, it was so cool to watch them. He put them all in UA-cam.
You should of said that you don’t like being wet and cold either, that would of been funny.
🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐🥀🪷
That must have been lovely to watch the hummingbirds raising young. I’d love to watch the video if you don’t mind sharing it. 🌸
@@paultsworld Tomorrow I will put a link to his UA-cam channel here,I can’t figure out how to do it from my phone. 😫

The angel trumpet is lovely. Did you take the cuttings? Are you selling any?
I usually take cuttings but didn’t this season - I did put my three big ones to over-Winter in the garage though.
Now is a good time to get some cuttings - try Facebook marketplace and later in the Spring Aldi or Lidl sometimes have them.
May we see your garage once you have placed your plants?
Absolutely - good idea.
I will be doing it once the temperatures drop overnight - maybe towards 0C - 3C
your gardens are so beautiful. i live in a 9a zone in SE Texas and our weather is so different than yours.
Glad you liked my garden.
That’s right - same Zone but zones only indicate that our average lowest temperatures in Winter are the same.
As you say, the rest of the year it’s a totally different..
Paulito!!!!!
Gracias Vickita 🌻
Hi Paul, does the brugmansia need light while in your garage or is total darkness ok? Thanks
Hi Mike, total darkness is fine - my garage has no windows. I strip all the leaves off except any of the really small ones at the growing points. So basically it has no need for light.
@@paultsworld Thanks for the reply Paul, I might get one and give it a go then! Thanks
If you haven’t got one yet I would recommend buying in May so it’s already over-Wintered.
😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🌻
You need to put rocks in the pot.
I think you’re right - I’ll also use a much bigger pot next year.
@@paultsworld they grow best in the ground because they can get 15-20 ft tall...I have 2 of them ...zone 10 US.
We get mid 30’s F here in the winter it never hurt them. But if wind is coming put big rocks or bricks in the pot to keep it from blowing over.
Wow, that is fabulous. Zone 10 - That's a great Winter climate for them and me!
🤗👍THANKS PAUL…FOR YOUR ENTHUSIAST TOUR OF THE LOVELY FALL GARDEN 🪴 💐🌺🪷🥀🎋ETC 💚💚💚
So nice - thank you for watching and your nice comment.
