Gaura! I’m the planter chairwomen for our Garden Clubs downtown planters. I chose Gaura for the center, red Solina begonias for the fuller and licorice plant for the spiller. They are looking great! I’m surprised that nobody else had ever heard of Gaura. I love it!!!
When I had a garden, Guara was one of my favorite plants. Loved the white and in the breeze the stems of flowers looked like butterflys. If I wanted them to spread I would let the baby plants thrive. Thank you Cory for being You,, , an enjoyable,, knowledgeable and awesome man to listen to....
Hi Corey, I plant 2 yellow thumbergia on a trellis that’s behind a garden statue. It’s stunning every year and gets many compliments! Great info and new ideas! 🇨🇦👏🇨🇦
The Guara combo was my favorite as it's simplicity is stunning! Thank you for providing different options to those who do not have easy access to the bigger brand name nurseries and growers. Sharing you open and honest feedback about plant choices and recommendations has been refreshing. Hello from NJ 🪴
Hi Cory. I’m in SE MI and have the same orb. It’s best to place it into the container FIRST, adjust the bars for even spacing, place it firmly in the soil (pushing down) and THEN add the plants. Hope that helps. I learned that from someone who uses these all the time. Happy Planting 😀
Corey, than you so much for all tthe informaion you pack into each video. I is very practical and you have saved me money too. I do want to tell you a passion flower story. When I first moved to coasal North Carolina I first saw a gorgeous passion flower. It was so aggressive that it worked its way up the electric pole and onto the lines. The property owners were so proud of it - the electric company not so much. One day they pulled up in their truck, put up the bucket and removed he passion flower from the lines and the pole. While it was growing it was truly breathtaking.
I think I need to add guara to my shopping list. I'm focusing on pink, magenta, purple & white flowers for my pots. My Mom had a passion flower vine in Northern Iowa. It was beautiful on her deck. Then she overwinter it in their unheated basement where it went dormant. She had it for several years.
I just want to say Cory reads the comments and I truly appreciate it!Alot of garden channels don't!I read the comments and saw the one about the vines.So this goes to show he appreciates his audience.Beautiful plats and tips on them as always.Now Im on a hunt for some newbies in my garden!Thank you Cory!🕊️💚🌹
We really appreciate you making time for us during such a busy weekend. Your videos are so informative and fun too. I'm on the Isle of Bute in Scotland 🏴 and I've planted containers with petunias, veronica, bacopa and verbena using your advice and tips. Thank you so much❤
Thanks for the great tutorials on plant combos for our pots. Can't wait to pick up our annuals that Eli helped select and start figuring out our container plantings. I especially liked the trellis ideas.
Every time I see a passion flower I have to smile. Here in Mississippi they grow wild and are called maypop. We throw or step on the fruits because they "pop". My mom says you can eat the fruit after they turn yellow but I've never tried.
I have grown Gaura on and off for many years both in the garden and in pots, I love them. Yes, It does pay to check what you grow with them in a pot, last year I put ‘ Cherry pie ‘ with the deep pink dark leaved variety and they looked stunning for a week or two,but then one would die off then come back just as the other one de-flowered itself 😂 love both of them, though not together.❤
Really enjoyed this demo. Its spot on. It is almost time to fill the pots. I'll give the Gaura a try. I'm doing red, white and blue. It's my turn to do the family 4th of July!
Hi Corey, I'm pretty new to your channel. I'm enjoying your content, This is my 4th year growing plants. Yes petunias all can grow differently. I have a big 19 inch pot. My neighbor gave me a petunias with a X pattern just had one in the pot. Filled the whole pot then spilled over to the ground before I trimmed it. I'm zone 6 about 3 miles from lake Erie. I agree with you less plants in a pot are better. Yes there are so many haters out there, just think all of us who appreciate your information ❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your wonderful approach to gardening and planting containers! We appreciate you and your generosity to us regarding your vast knowledge of plants! 😊
I love the use of the wooden trellis's in a pot tied together at the top for vines! I plant the black eyed susan vine every year and they are so aggressive! I try to keep them trimmed but they always grow into bushes and surrounding plants!
I love your videos! I learn so much! Last year I made the mistake of putting two coconut apeal thunbergias in a pot. Big mistake! It took over the entire corner of the garden! 😆
😂😂😂😂 what did we just discuss yesterday about the stuffing of the pots 😂😂😂😂. I get it and i ❤ it. We can’t help it. You fine friend. Stuff on!! No judgement here. 😊😊
Thank you Corey for your wonderful gardening advice. I live in Ontario and really enjoy seeing you use the same type or variety plants that we can grow in my area.
Thank you im just doing my easi hanging baskets just put Seven million bells in one pot. Will put less in after seeing your video very informative from Smethwick Enland.
Hi Cory. You do an amazing job thx you One of my containers was pink gaura in middle 2 smaller snapdragons & 2 bidens Looks good so far My red white & blue was Blue & bloom salvia & red & white petunias
Thanks Corey, a great video and I quite like the more informal nature of it. Just going off to try and find Irish equivalent plants :) From Donegal Ireland
I have fond memories from Slieve League, Inishowen, and Kilcar! When I’m in Ireland, I’m surprised that many of the varieties that are developed in Europe aren’t easily available there, yet they’re common in Ireland. If you find new favorites, be sure to let me know.
Black eyed Susan vine can be a bully if you let her. I had two in a hanging basket last year. It got away from me and took over a winter 4’ corner of my patio. It’s hard to cut out of shrubs !!
I got one from my daughter and I didn't know much except a little research on growing and it took over half my plants in the area it was in glad it was my container garden area because I can imagine the mess you had I lost pots!Now we know at least 😊
Hello, I live in south central PA. I love the white Garua, but have trouble finding it. I also grow alot of plants myself ( just for me). Pink is available here. Any ideas?
I purchased some deep pink gaura 4 weeks ago for my 18" containers. I hadn't seen it before and was not familiar with it, but something kept drawing me back to it so I decided to take a chance with it. Mine came in 4" pots and only have one flower spike per plant. *How can I make them fuller without destroying the plant?* The containers are dark pink gaura, crimson coleus, dark pink geranium, dark pink green-leaf wax begonia, and variegated trailing vinca. I under-planted the pots leaving space for them to grow (fill in).
@@UpNorthGardenMI Corey, I was so excited -- my Gaura finally started branching out with multiple stems, and then a deer came last night and stripped all the buds and flowers off all the stems 😢 He ate all the tiger lily buds that were just about to open, and the daylily flowers which had just opened, and the canna lily leaves, and the calibrachoa. Got it all on the security camera. First time in the five years I have lived in my apartment that deer ate my flowers. Heartbroken. .... and the rabbits - eating all the sweet alyssum, lantana, Superbena verbena, dusty miller and argyranthemums, which I though were rabbit resistant. My petunias and upright vinca are holding up so far 😁
They like their roots shaded (I plant a sedum or perennial geranium in front of them to block the sun)… other than that, I haven’t had experience with other issues.
@@UpNorthGardenMI I’ve done that. I know larger flower are more susceptible. I will cut it back, remove mulch, add compost, add fresh mulch. I’ll let you know if it works.

I love gaura as well, and it’s a perennial for me in Texas.

I tried gaura for the first time this year! (Dallas) I hadn’t heard of it before.

It only took one time and that started making sense to me 😃
You've sold me on the Gaura... a white one like you planted is now on my list. It looks so pretty with the pink petunias.
Oh Cory, I just love you and your channel. You give us such great information and great ideas. Just keep making them❤
I love using Gaura in my planters. Thank you so much for all of your helpful tips. 🌹🌸🥀
I am so glad that I found your channel. I really enjoy your presentations and honest opinions about the plants you work with.

I am in zone 5 b and my Gaura all came back in perennial beds in 3 different light conditions. Both the pink shorter Gauras and the taller white ones.

Is that a resin planter that the gaura went into? It is a beautiful colour and the gaura is spectacular. Love all the containers. Thank you.
You are awesome! I live in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia!
I’m loving the videos as I’m in Hamilton ON zone 5b 🎉❤🌸🇨🇦💕🌱

Stunning! And I had gaura (spelling?) in my hands but put it down. 🤦🏽♀️. Thank you for the reassurance about the dragon breath❤️ Happy Mothers Day

I am really starting to love scaevolla. Thank-you for all your tips and tricks
Thank you, pot with gaura is absolutely beautiful❤️. I’ll copy that.
Thank you im just doing my easi hanging baskets just put Seven million bells in one pot. Will put less in after seeing your video very informative from Smethwick Enland.
It can also work to step down gradually. Next year try six and if that works, try five the next year.
You are one of the best garden bloggers. Wishing you lots of subscribers, motivation and success!!! ❤
I enjoy all the content with your experience and opinions! Keep it coming!
Hi Cory. You do an amazing job thx you
One of my containers was pink gaura in middle 2 smaller snapdragons & 2 bidens Looks good so far
My red white & blue was
Blue & bloom salvia & red & white petunias
I love sweet potato vines but have learned the hard way that they will take over if not trimmed back.
Gaura is so lovely in both planters and the landscape, and thanks for introducing me to passionflowers. It looks like a fun one to try.

@@UpNorthGardenMI Thanks Corey. It's pretty special up here.
Thanks for spending some time with us on this holiday.
You are so awesome!!!
I had lots of gaura about 25 years ago in my garden in a different house. Loved it.!
😃💚😃
I could watch your videos all day! I always leave with new ideas!

Your gaura should fill in… one month ago, the one I planted looked as you described. They grow best with lots of sun and consistent water.

Where do you get those? Round metal things
We ordered them at a garden show. I’m not sure who else sells them.
@@UpNorthGardenMI thanks anyway if you find them somewhere let me know. I have been looking for something like that
