[@robturvey9156]

All are wonderful plants but I can’t imagine my garden without geranium Rozanne. Lovely colour and flowers for months and months.

[@Mistersgoodgirl]

Same. Never stops from late spring to the first hard frost.

[@misses-xtwice]

Oh my! Right!! I just stumbled onto her last year!! Bought two more back in April..

[@Mistersgoodgirl]

@@misses-xtwice in my last house I alternated them in the border with candytuft. As those were going out the geraniums were coming in. In our current home, I’m lining all the beds with the cranebill variety. They are a light blush color. But this time I’m putting them in to grow together and be a solid border. Now I can stop buying begonias each year. I spend a fortune on those.

[@janeelliott6772]

Totally agree.

[@nicoles5852]

Me too. I love it and have planted it everywhere.

[@aiai-j7i]

I am so grateful for your channel. Each video is just a mini-horticulture course! Thank you from Chicago 😊

[@francesca4966]

je pense comme vous. C’est clair, informatif. Merci de France

[@5262janna]

Your videos are so great and practical topics I always need.

[@Hayley-sl9lm]

That is an interesting point about how double-flowered varieties might offer a bit of a shelter bonus for certain insects. I think just making sure you offer a variety of flowers, with some important natives included in the mix for your area, is important. I think a lot of ornamental growers are now becoming more aware of how much people care about pollinators, and I think that will lead to more ornamental varieties being developed that consider pollinators as well as aesthetic considerations. As someone who grows professionally, observations that you have about how different varieties may benefit pollinators are really invaluable, thanks for sharing!

[@sunitashastry5270]

Wonderful video. You showed not only some good varieties for long flowering but also how to deadhead. In some cases I have been doing it wrong. Your mentioning about the fertilizing was also v helpful as I use manure more than I should. Now I know that. Thank you.

[@evahaynes4438]

GREAT information. I have been dead heading those flowers all WRONG. THANKS❤

[@anndaley4001]

So grateful for your really informative programme. I learnt a lot as you gave so much more than the usual 'pretty pictures'

[@christopherhills1609]

One of the longest flowerers for me is salvia Royal Bumble. Here in mild Cornwall it will flower from late spring and then well into late autumn

[@Mistersgoodgirl]

Don’t have to cut it back to get it to rebloom?

[@clematis1212]

Totally tangerine geum is one of my absolute favorite plants. But in my location in New York, instead of continual blooming, I get one huge display in the spring that lasts for quite a while but then it’s done for the year. I love this plant because it’s very impressive and full, divides easily, is pest free, and helps keeps weeds down through the season because it covers a nice amount of soil. ❤

[@cshieldsie9920]

Same for me in NJ. I wish it bloomed all summer!!

[@Marly51]

I have just found your channel and am learning so much! I have a Campanula (not sure of the variety) in full flower at present... one stem broke off during recent heavy rain, so I cut it in half and popped it into a single stem vase - it has produced 8 large, beautiful lilac coloured bellflowers so far and even the lower half of the leafy stem is now producing flower buds! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge! ❤️😊

[@margaretsims4344]

Great video Rosie. Gives me more ideas for yet more new plants! I planted a Geum last year (not totally tangerine) and have had some self seeded pop up. However the flowers are very insignificant and tiny, so I have been weeding them out.

[@Vimby233]

Thank you for the information about the Verbena ‘Bampton’. A fabulous, airy and very ‘giving’ plant (seedlings everywhere!) Mine are getting a little leggy and opening up in the middle so I will be giving them a haircut later today!

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

Thank you… I always enjoy your videos, so informative and beautiful to watch.

[@MagicalMukhina]

Absolutely love this video Rosy - both informative and entertaining - my favourite you have done so far. Maybe you could do one advising which plants won't re bloom - as I struggle sometimes knowing which ones won't. Thanks.

[@nicoles5852]

Thanks Rosy for this excellent advice on cutting back and where to cut back.

[@catherineslavin7324]

Perfect! Thanks for the extremely useful information.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

The penstemon deadheading tip is gold! It’s the only flower besides my salvia that the deer have not eaten.❤

[@scallywags12]

Great tips and thanks!

[@kimmybooth]

Oooooh …. I ❤️ that persicaria 🍃 Thank You Rosy x I propagated my geum totally tangerine after I enrolled in your propagation masterclass, probably a bit late in the season, but it’s doing just fine 😜 my geum was flowering in March 😮

[@margaretchiodo-keller4495]

Very useful and informative video. I learned alot about this range of flowers. Thank you.

[@kiwiopklompen]

Brilliant - thanks so much for this. I bought a Coreopsis - just the one and now i have dozens - they’re amazing and the bees adore them! Such a fun happy plant. I had no idea this plant would be so amazing. Some of my salvias are also incredibly long flowering - as is Achillea.

[@RosyHardyGardening]

Coreopsis are a firm favorite - they really are a long bloomer!

[@sharonhawes1592]

Love you channel- thank you for this episode. I live in South Africa- in a winter rainfall area with very hot summers. I will be visiting the UK soon and would love to get seeds of all the plants in your video- please advise where I can purchase them online and have them delivered to my family in Buckingham shire.

[@reddoggy5403]

I was watching Alexandra's middle sized gardening channel & seen you on there.. ✨ Needless to say I Love your channel Rosy, consider me a subscriber ❤

[@RosyHardyGardening]

Alexandra's channel is fantastic and she has been very good to us. Glad to have you here

[@annakozlowski4837]

First time subscriber from across the pond zone 5. Love the in info ❤I just ordered Percicaria 🎉Thank You😊

[@IreneBuchan-c9m]

Dear Rosie love your information on all the different flowers and what to do with them 😊. I live in Aberdeenshire and wonder if you could possibly tell us how hardy a plant is and whether it can tolerate,say down to minus 10 - 15 degrees 😊. Can’t wait for your next video

[@JohnandNancyTselepis]

Hi Rosie.. Really interesting selections,and we find the 🐰s here do not like the hairy- stemmed ones...bonus ! 😊. Our 3 penstemons grew well for us even in this late spring/summer's 40°+ C. unusual temps.here in 5a Zone. Still bloom reliably after we prune as per your video. Some plants are hard to find in the centres. Maybe they are not consistent sellers. Wrote these down,in case we get lucky. Looking forward to your next video 👍.

[@valeriecooper8152]

Great suggestions !

[@jomassey4207]

It's the dead of winter here in NZ, but coreopsis, garnet penstemon, yarrow, cape fuschia and the blue daisy ( forgotten name) as well as my mutabilis roses are all flowering. I do have early yellow and white irises and a few bright yellow daffodils already flowering. My geums are growing well and preparing for a good show as soon as the temperatures increase. I'm cold stratifying astrantia seeds atm, but I'm wondering if I left it too late. Does anyone have any ideas about how long the seeds will take to start sprouting??? Thanks, Jo😊

[@Kay-qt2id]

No but good luck , I love astranta but feel Melbourne may get to dry and warm for it. Maybe do an AI search?

[@foulapaix1915]

Unfortunately they r not found in our garden centres in Canada

[@pieragerrard9787]

Fabulous informative video. Love it! ❤

[@cambbrown6205]

Thank you. Very thorough, I learned a lot. I love Savia Caradonna along with Geranium Rozanne in a sunny border but would like something else that is sun loving and flowers for a long time. Any suggestions. I have wondered about geum totally tangerine. I have an orange berry pyracantha on the wall behind the bed.

[@Kay-qt2id]

Fabulous content thank you from Melbourne Australia

[@1tuinman]

I love these types of long flowering perennials, you didn't mention the preferable soil types for that fabulous Penstemon , would they do well on clay? Thanks!

[@dragonflysutra3232]

I would say so as I have some in my garden although I have improved the soil with grit and compost.

[@brendahayes3365]

Excellent video Rosy! Always interesting and educational 👍 Brenda 🇨🇦ZN4

[@hawkeye-m-9e]

Woke!?

[@PamHaines-j8r]

Thankyou Rosey

[@calderwood-qg7vh]

You cant beat Erodium manescavii , flowers from late April to Early November, Hardy Osteospermums flower from May to the first hard frost.

[@rachelchudley1527]

Thank you !

[@stefanbonat1628]

How long does it take for geums to create new blooms after cutting off the stalk? I deadheaded my geums (princess Juliana and geum coccineum) as you recommended but until now no new blooms appeared.

[@calderwood-qg7vh]

I should have added Linaria Peachy to my list and stated that Geum Marmalade is a winner.

[@clairerobinson2006]

Persicaria Virginia is has an invasive nature in my area of NW USA and not recommended for this reason. Pretty but I’m still battling after removing more than 5 years ago.

[@clairerobinson2006]

Sorry, I meant NE USA

[@rosyhardy18]

@@clairerobinson2006this is why we do say we grow in the uk. Not all our garden plants are suitable for other countries. Hope you get on top of the Persicaria by persisting 👍

[@Ann-bm5qg]

I can’t find these plants. I can find coreopsis grandiflora sunrise not sunray.

[@evelynrogers7145]

Thanks so much

[@transmogrify2dog]

Thank you. My geum totally tangerine and scarlet tempest both flowered a tonne from early spring till mid-July and then suddenly stopped. They have 6 hours of SE England afternoon sun in moist soil. I have deadheaded the stems down to the ground. They have only been in the flower beds one year. Do they need feeding or trimming to encourage more blooms? There is new growth from the crown but it is all leaves. Soil too fertile??

[@luzvigerminal558]

I love campanula lactiflora, mine is a bit taller it reach nearly 6 feet are they normal?

[@Bexyboo88]

Hi Rosy, I have seen in our local garden centre a beautiful silvery foliage plant - Convolvulus Cneorum (silver bush) which I really liked but saw on the plant label is has bindweed-like flowers that are white with yellow centres, which I don't actually like or would want - I would like it just for the shimmery silvery leaves, or if the flowers were pure white or white & pink, that would be ok (yellow doesn't fit with my planting theme). Is there any other plant similar to this without the flowers? Or would it be best to just cut all the flowers off when they come (which when I went back there yesterday, some were in flower now).

[@floand12345]

How do you get the plants to bloom in such small pots? I propagate a lot of plants and also grow most of everything in containers, but it seems that for me the plants always struggle to develop to maturity and bloom in pots.

[@LindaOsier]

I can’t grow Penstemon due to my clay I assume. I love them. Is there anything I can do. Are they fussy?

[@Rustanator2]

Your bracelet is very loud. Tha k you for sharing the flower information.

[@rellimarual]

Here (zone 5B) coreopsis is an annual

[@RosyHardyGardening]

Oh interesting, our research indicated hardy to zone 4 for Coreopsis grandiflora - using gardenia. When doing these we can only trust what these sites say as we do not use the American zones commercially in the UK for our stock

[@LauraMiller-ly2cm]

@@RosyHardyGardening Maybe it's just the grandiflora variety? I'm not familiar with that one, but I grow a lot of the others, and they're definitely annuals

[@RosyHardyGardening]

Yes his may be the reason. Our primary advice to everyone in climates different to ours in UK is check with the local growers. As helpful as the internet is, local nurseries will always be the best experts for your specific location

[@brendahayes3365]

I’m in Zone 4 and Coreopsis -“Tickseed’ grows here as a Perennial, but needs protection of mulch or snow. Brenda🇨🇦

[@LauraMiller-ly2cm]

@@brendahayes3365 fascinating! I have never had it come back, despite mulch and other perennials coming back!

Does deer eat these flowers

[@marciasemon669]

Rosy where can I buy these plants or seeds?

[@milkshake3350]

At a garden centre or online.

[@RosyHardyGardening]

If you are in the UK our shop will have some of the varieties available (depending on stock levels) link is in the description of the video underneath the plant list

[@dianamengel9059]

I wish you could include USA zones

[@RosyHardyGardening]

Hi, they are the number range next to each plant name as it appears on screen and they are noted in the description

[@rosyhardy18]

Always in the information

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Campanula lactiflora is great, but it takes 3 years to get its adult size unfortunately. Other campanulas like pyramidalis only take 2 years to reach the same height.

[@jammosu6498]

Persicaria is very invasive. I’ve been trying to get rid of it for years

[@jenn976]

“Var” stands for “variety.”

[@NN-fz4pd]

Can you please use the common names? It’s hard to understand otherwise.

[@pendlera2959]

Just because double flowers occur in the wild doesn't mean they're good. Lots of harmful traits occur in the wild; genetics aren't goal-oriented. Some insects may benefit from double flowers, but if the extra petals block out the majority of insects, then we need to ensure we're planting plenty of other plants they can eat from.

[@mang4260]

Your thumbnail picture is a fake copy / paste / edit with the months indicated. There is absolutely no difference between the flowers, in space. It's impossible to have the exact same angle, curve, size, balance... Between pictures of flowers taken months appart. Just the wind would change the direction, there is absolutely no changes inbetween.

[@RosyHardyGardening]

Hi, the concept of the thumbnail is the same picture on purpose. We are not trying to hide thats the exact same picture on both sides, its meant to be like that. If you plant Totally Tangerine specifically it flowers for an astonishing amount of time. We've actually undersold it because it can make it to November still flowering in UK conditions, buy it from another supplier and see for yourself

[@Marly51]

I have just found your channel and am learning so much! I have a Campanula (not sure of the variety) in full flower at present... one stem broke off during recent heavy rain, so I cut it in half and popped it into a single stem vase - it has produced 8 large, beautiful lilac coloured bellflowers so far and even the lower half of the leafy stem is now producing flower buds!
