Planting up my SHADY Front Entrance Containers (Zone 5b)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- Today, I'm potting up my front entrance containers. All of the plants I'm using are great for shady to part/shade spots but the most exciting bit is that I grew most of them from seed - we're talking coleus, lobelia and impatiens!
Happy gardening!

Hi Margaret, those Rex Begonias are gorgeous! Wow! Your front porch display is beautiful.
Thank you!
You are welcome. My plant shopping list just got longer. 😊 I know it’s only mid-June, but I’m already wondering if they could be overwintered in the house or a warmish basement or garage?
@@joettedignanweir6893 I would definitely give it try! If the temperature doesn't get too cold (i.e. below 10C/50F), they may do just fine in a garage with a window. In my case, I need to bring them inside - the basement is perfect because it stays at 18C/65F all winter. I had good success overwintering the burgundy edged one in the video but the other two I had last year, not so much, but I'm planning on trying again with all of them this year :)
Love the display! Can’t wait to see when it grows out! I love coleus and ordered one of the same one you have!
Thank you! Coleus are amazing, aren't they? And there are just so many gorgeous ones out there to choose from!
the rex begonias, wow. My gryphon from seed died unfortunately, am jealous of yours!
Oh - that's too bad! It's definitely a finicky one to grow - we'll see how it does over summer.
