[@snaggybeans]

I appreciate you sharing zone 4 compatible plants!!! I can't say that enough-- I was so sad before I found you, as I was not finding anybody who seemed as knowledgeable and talented that would talk about plants that would work in my zone!! Please continue to share information about a wide range of zones

[@drobi0001]

Thank you Laura🙏After watching this video, I bought 2 little Henry shrubs and tucked them in my garden 🌺 😍You have helped me so much to revamp my garden 🌸 I love to watch your videos and learn new ways to improve my garden 🙏Stars and Moon hydrangeas next on my list 😍🌺

[@hollyhocks7360]

Thank you for some great ideas. It is so useful when you show us what the plants look like in summer and the autumn.

[@jessicaf316]

Fall is my favorite season but it is always sad when all of my plants are finished blooming. These are wonderful suggestions- Thank You!

[@nancyavery8134]

Great that you now show a lot more shrubs and what the flowers look like on them. I have a black Lace Elderberry and never knew how to prune it. Thanks!

[@priscillasegina7366]

Thanks Laura, great ideas! Fall is my favorite season and I love anything that will bring those colors to my Mississippi garden. Been watching you for about 8 months and I've learned so much. Your home is amazing!

[@dwohio8283]

It would be a great time to rewatch this one.

[@courtneytautges4997]

I can’t get enough of your videos, you have taught me SO much and gave me the courage to embark on my first perennial landscaping! Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge with us! But that blooper at the end really got me. You are so sweet and endearing! Much love from Wisconsin! 🌻🌻🌻

[@brp1817]

OMG! I had not seen this video. Love this selection, what great additions to my garden. Thank you! Love your videos, I have learned so much from you. I could never thank you enough. Sending many blessings your way🌻

[@patriciarusso1148]

Thanks for sharing what to plant in your border that is colorful during Fall. I'll try to find the ginger wine ninebark because of the shrubs dark pinkish red blooms. Garden centers don't seem to have the shrubs etc. that they once did but eventually I will find what is needed. I learn so much from watching your videos and you're an expert with how to care for everything that grows in the garden! Really appreciated!😍

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Those hydrangeas are beautiful and I love the stacked star flowers, so pretty. Thank you so much for sharing Laura!🌸Love your videos

THANK YOU for showing a plant I can actually plant in my zone!!! (9a) And a hydrangea at that!! I'm giddy!

[@pamketron]

I just planted a Lil Henry. Thanks for all the great info on shrubs.

[@trisha86]

Loved this video!! The funnies at the end are gold! Great job! Would be very cool if you could do a winter interest video. Side note: The grass is looking wonderful Aaron, good work!

[@babakaryansk]

[@heinkristen1]

Kodiak Red Diervilla has got to go on my list!! Thanks for sharing!

[@denisek5208]

What great ideas! I now want to visit my local Nursery

[@crittergirl3647]

Have often used Ninebarks as the height in container planters, leaving them full or thinning significantly, depending on the design. In zone 5 spots protected by overhangs, etc, they have survived multiple winters before needing to be transplanted into the landscape due to size.

[@christinepoverello7273]

I bought an oak leaf hydrangea today because of this video! And then while I was there I found that our garden centre stocked a limited number of proven winners plants! 😮 I'm from south Africa so this is strange lol They have the diamond frost euphorbias, I want to get some 🙂

[@innerlight10]

Gorgeous flowers when they bloom!

[@wendycummings1340]

Love your videos! They inspire me very much! I just fell in love with the ninebark! It's a must have fore next year!

[@lynncampbell5606]

Thank you. The smaller plants would be great for my yard.

[@suziedemarco9935]

Such interesting shrubs...you always inspire me!

[@smorgan7245]

Gorgeous choices! Y'all are so cute with the outtakes at the end 🤣

[@hhoversonhh]

Looking for bushes I can use in the lawn. In the sun zone 6. The first hydrangea looks like it might work. I love the one with red flowers that bloom late summer too. Thankyou Laura and Aaron!

[@cherrose100]

O.m.gosh so many pretty plants ... I'm running out of room lol 😂👍🏼🕊

[@BlaBla-pf8mf]

In winter, when you have less to do in the garden, you should do a bloopers video.

[@jman3254]

Oak leafed hydrangeas are native to my area, here in northern Florida, but only in certain specific locations. There is a state park in a next door town called Torreya State Park. This is where the oak leafed hydrangeas grow nearest to my town, as well as some evergreen trees that are the park's namesake. That park is the only place in the state of Florida where they grow as far as I can remember. And they only grow in one other small section of the US, as well as a couple of other rare places in the world. The Florida ones have been plagued with some type of slow-acting disease for decades, and most of the trees, which are few, don't grow well at all, and will eventually die. The University of Florida in Gainesville has researched and studied and tried various methods over the last several decades to try and save these rare native trees, but to no avail. They are sometimes called the gopher wood tree, and some think that the ones near the middle east/Africa area were what Noah used to build the ark, but who really knows. And yes, getting back to the oak leafed hydrangeas, the native ones that you can buy occasionally at nurseries near where I live, as well as the more exotic types that are mentioned on this video, are really nice plants to use in the landscape. Thanks

[@elbmcook]

Thanks for all of the great info.

[@leannrobinsonjohnson3487]

Hey Laura, I've been watching you for some time and finally got inspired enough to get busy with my own project. Landscaping my front and back yard. Huge task but im up for the challenge. I realize your a busy gal and you don't have a lot of time for one on one conversations. That said im just gonna send questions, maybe pics of things im nit sure of or wanting to try to see if im doing it right. Any comments or suggestions would be much aporecisted.

[@jrf3742]

Great videos, plus I like that you added the zones and sun demands

[@nicolechew1029]

Loved this video!! Can you possibly do a video about flowering evergreen shrubs?? I'm so stuck on my evergreen choice for my garden! Love you guys and thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

[@marestar64]

Great info on smaller showey shrubs. Tfs!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I have wondered about plants that would enhance the fall experience. Thank you! Great suggestions.

[@KayNolte]

Thank you for this. I always enjoy your videos

[@lougarou16]

Love these shrubs but I’m a zone 3 so hard to find in our area but those plants where beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThorKipperberg]

Louise Duhaime ,zone 3,is a tough zone ..im in zone 3-6..depends on the Norwegian coastal winters. But I usually try to find trees,bushes,and shrubs that are close to my zone.now I have a few Zone 7 plants that actually thrives too,but they get some frost damage from time to time,or as I call it natural pruning..haha.. no its not easy to pin down the right plants for a certain plant always. But have in mind ,you can have several zones in your garden,depending on the topography,sheltered areas,wind etc.. so even if a plant is good for a certain zone it can go both ways,just because its been planted on the wrong spot,or had wrong soil etc

[@lougarou16]

Thor Kipperberg thanks for the info I really appreciate it

[@patricaromboletti8658]

ninebark zones: 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b

[@Abdallino]

Well I got the answer through your description..... You clever Laura

[@debbiemann1265]

[@KZ-xj4tt]

Love these shrubs. Thanks for laugh you two. 😁

[@nancydee6106]

[@cmsbeth]

Hey Laura! How about a video on invasive species. People in Kentucky use bamboo for privacy and then are devastated when it takes over their yards!

[@bcombs31]

Would you consider doing a segment on five great plants to plant for weddings for your daughters. What can I plant now so that I eventually can use them in bouquets and decor for my daughter's weddings

[@Attikisses]

Very helpful, thank you

[@alliecatnz]

Great advice on plant positions and future pruning expectations!

[@eyetech1975]

Love this. Thank you Laura

[@jacobharbour9138]

Could you do a video on how to plan a backyard garden? Do you draw it out? Pinterest it? What types of gardens are there? How do I know what's best for me? I'm new to gardening and have dreams of having a beautiful garden. But have no idea where to start. We're moving to a new home with a blank backyard. A fresh canvas.

[@brynkimura6738]

Beautiful plants! This was very helpful. Thanks!

[@SR98889]

Can you please do a couple videos focused on zone 3? We like fall interest too! 😊

[@patricaromboletti8658]

I look up the last shrub and here are the zones: 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b

[@taylormelnyk2005]

I agree haha

[@margaretpervier8357]

Love your suggestions! ❤️😊

[@saundrabadger8949]

Love these videos so much!

[@snturner10]

Thank You!

[@neverlostforwords]

the most important tip for growing oakleaf hydrangeas is to put them in a place where they can be allowed to grow to full size so that you never have to prune them, because most people who prune them end up cutting off the following season's buds.

[@lynetteledoux2845]

Really nice, I’d not heard of four of the five ... and do have oak leaf hydrangeas, but not the Gatsby variety (that now I need!).

[@analivingston7590]

Hello I live in Argentina where can be quite hot in summer, if I plant under trees I gather I should add acid soil all around, how deep should be . Thank you very much for your help... by the way yourgarden is lovely!!!!

[@candledancer2]

Just removed a forsythia that wasn't performing well and replaced with a ginger wine nine bark. Excited to see how it does. I've been trying to find a spot for an oakleaf hydrangea.

[@MrDennis1152]

I love your videos, I just got into this game, long time garden lover, first time home owner, so it's been about 4 years now and i'm liking what i'm doing but I saw, room for improvement and ideas, so I found you! I also found many others, but i like you so, ok can you do a zone 3 fall color? some of those fall covers were beatiful but zone 4 so im a fraid!

[@QuyenNguyen-ui5wg]

thank you for sharing it ! love all 😍

[@deepaks5118]

Hi try using yuki cherry blosoms as hedges somewhere in your garden it may be great try it out ....

[@regenir71]

I'm going to get everyone of them. Love them all.

[@caitlyns9587]

These are all pretty but im in a zone 3 so can’t plant most of these :( you should do a video on your favorite shrubs and perennials that are good for zone 2-8 for those of us in northern climates

[@andisplayboy101]

Love your blooper at the end! What was the zone for the last shrub?

[@lindajackson7310]

Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing enjoying your plants thanks for sharing lindaj j ☮️ ❤️💯 💯

[@Eb0lii]

I love your channel!! You give great tips! A question.. I live in the netherlands, its around 15degrees overday with most of the time rain in fall. Can I plant any new plants in my garden around this time of year? Would the plant survive it through winter?

[@ThorKipperberg]

Ebru Canak hi there,yes but don't wait to long.the winter is just around the corner.. if you decide to plant now,be sure to give the plant enough protection around the rootball,soil,leaves etc. Since its fall,it wont grow much now,but if the winter is mild in your area it should be enough time for the plant to develope roots,if not its better to wait to plant either dormant plants in January/February,and let them be until spring.or just plant as usual in April/May..it's always a gamble to plant anything in late fall,due to sudden drops in temperature or sudden frost spells,that could potentially be harmful or kill the plants you put out. As long as the temp keeps mild and almost summery,you can plant out what you got.

[@barbarawall6349]

Could you add more shade loving plants? I so enjoy your channel.

[@teresasue5255]

You didn’t say the mature size of the Ginger Wine Ninebark bush. I love this. Thanks for the suggestions but now I will have a hard time choosing.

[@sharoncooper4223]

Laura, Thanks so much for your videos, I really enjoy them! Just one question, how large does the ninebark become when mature? Thank you! Sharon

[@gardenanswer]

Here's a link to all the info on the ninebark! :) goo.gl/4kL7gW

[@chrystalsabin4091]

Great ideas

[@beseggg]

Laura pleeeeease have a go at another layered bulb pot! I want to know how to protect outdoor pots from frost and I saw that your first trial inspired by Monty Don failed because of a cold snap. I want to have a pot with tulips, daffodils and crocus but I want to know the best ways to insulate an outdoor pot. Or just do a video on tulip planting because I need my bulb fix! :)

[@ThorKipperberg]

beseggg there are several ways to insulate a pot from tge elements.. to plant normal winter hardy flowering bulbs,you really don't need much protection,exept from rain and wet weather. Rain and frost is a huge bulb killer in many cases ,especially if it rains for several days/weeks and then it freeze over. Before it has dried up. So here is a few tips from me.1. Plant the bulbs in a container/pot and dig the whole thing with bulbs and all down in the ground,and leave it there until early spring.2 set the container,inside a garage or other frost free enviroment,under a roof,or near a wall so its not being harmed by the elements. 3 cover your container with an old blanket or make a box of Styrofoam,fill the box with leaves around your pot. 4.plant your bulbs inside,in the pot/container,and set it cold,wait until february/march and give it water and let the bulbs start inside once they have started to grow set the whole thing ouside but a little bit protected,dont overwater! Bulbs are not hard to grow in containers,but they need some care,fertilizer and some occasional watering.

[@beseggg]

how did i miss your awesome reply! i turned my balcony into a sun room so no rain or extreme cold, planted the pot with the same fertilizer that laura uses and some beautiful bulbs, covered it with a blanket and i'm forgetting it till my birthday on 8th of march :)

[@anconnally]

If the Gatsby Hydrangea and Yuki are related to each other, does that mean I could plant them together to get the variety of color? Or would that mean they are competing for the same resources?

Hi Laura I have a question...my grandma had a shrub Bush in her yard, she always called it an old fashioned shrub Bush, I dont know if that's the correct name I haven't been able to come across it any where It was about 6 to 8 feet tall as I remember and probably 5 or 6 ft wide and the leaves deep green and would turn a deep burgundy in fall it also got a flower which looked like a crimson spider shape lol only way I can describe it She would put them in sashay bags to put in her dresser drawers Please Laura if you know or can find out what the name of it is I would love to get one Thank you I love your videos your very talented and knowledgeable 😀👍❤

[@angelaowens1075]

These are beautiful. However I have a question about Rose of Sharon. Do their Roots mess with your septic lines?

[@latikasuryavanshi8449]

Love it!

[@maryellenbrenton9804]

Would any of the plants mentioned make a nice screen wall for privacy? I have a new home on 3 acres of open yard with full sun. I live in zone 6. I would love to plant some easy to maintain, pest resistant, sturdy schrubs that will be in full sun, clay and sandy soil. Also, deer resistant. Thanks

[@letis9541]

You should make a video about privacy srubs for zone 8.

[@Abdallino]

I'm just started to follow you, are you living from gardening or it's a hobby ? I would love to make gardens my profession but I'm still learning
