Adding Winter Blooms! 🌷🌸🪻:: Planting Lilac Vine, Hellabores and Lupine in the February Garden!

Welcome Gardeners! I am KICKING myself for not buying the Purple Lilac Vine I saw blooming at the garden center a few weeks ago. I’m headed there today to hopefully pick one up along with a few more winter bloomers for a February garden! 🪻 Enjoy!

[@marleneegan-hm7lr]

This is so beautiful Janey. I’ve been meaning to tell you I love the music you play in your videos, always appropriate for the video content, sometimes playful and sometimes serene. Don’t change a thing.

[@jimwalker76]

Janey, plant a group one clematis with your Lilac Vine. You will get blooms from your Lilac Vine and blooms later from your Clematis.

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

This is a great idea❣️

[@jodyarnold7200]

Sitting here in Massachusetts watching the snow fall and watching you plant beautiful flowers just brought a little happiness to my morning. What a beautiful color combination.

[@gardenandjoy]

I love the Lilac vine. I've never seen it in Massachusetts have you seen anything similar?

[@empresskimberly4410]

Same here in NH. ❤

[@kellyoliver1943]

Same from the thumb 👍 of Michigan!!

[@ell-just42day]

I was enjoying the gorgeous oranges on her tree. Talk about color! ☺

[@I_Am_because_God_Is]

Same, stoughton ma

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

Janey, I love your idea about going monthly to a garden centre to see what is in bloom at that time of the year. 💚It would be wonderful to always have something flowering in the garden. I adore your choices of plants, and they all look so pretty together. 🌷😃

[@lisajelle714]

Love your idea of buying a “blooming plant of the month” and showing us your planting, placement, discussion of each one’s pros and cons!

[@GardenHappy]

I agree it’s a great idea. Wouldn’t that be fun to have a spot in our garden for every month?

[@carolkelly638]

Great idea thanks for sharing!

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

The purple vine is an Australian native, called the Happy Wander here in Oz, and is very hardy. It should flower for you through winter and spring in your climate. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers Bronwyn 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@patgalliart4716]

Your master gardeners presentation was very helpful and professional. Your gift for design carried over to graphics of your presentation.🌸

[@sharonguimaraes2244]

I like the idea of 12 little gardens of each month to plant from month- to- month around the yard in order and leave some room to check out each month each year to see if you find something else you love to add in future years.🎉 Jason, has been doing a great job doing the videos on his own, and is looking much more relaxed doing so.🎉. Congrats, Jason!😊🎉

[@patriciacole8773]

Great idea

[@AP_farm_agriculture]

I also hope that even though the world has changed to become more modern, I still like manual farming, it is a very nostalgic thing that gives us a wonderful feeling that expensive machines cannot touch. touchable

[@marybethgardener111]

I like that idea Janey! Every month go to the garden center for blooms!

[@AlysiaArreola-lm7ir]

I’ll never get over your orange trees. They’re so beautiful 🥹

[@AlysiaArreola-lm7ir]

..and will be so pretty when the purple vine spreads !

[@salimorton641]

I vote for a trellis for the lilac vine! So, pretty with all those winter blooming flowers! By the way Janey your hair looks so pretty down in the first part of the video. I can tell you are feeling better.

[@kater8730]

You have no idea how much you have brightened my day here in snowy Canada. I miss my garden so very much and seeing all your beautiful flowers brought happy tears to my eyes. I can't wait until I can plant and tend to my garden.

[@gracehSF]

I’m in California too and have primroses, anemones, violas, calendula, cyclamen, hellebores, and begonias all blooming. My magnolia has tons of buds and will bloom in a few weeks. These cool weather plants make such a difference in the winter.

[@user-zb5to6tx8x]

I’m glad you you remember we need color year around in our gardens. I live in cold climate and envy your climate. Good video hope foot is feeling better

[@mildyweinstein7853]

Janay, I have a purple lilac vine in my garden for about 15 years. When so little is blooming in the garden, it is in full bloom late January thru March. I love it. I have roses and other vines that bloom later in the season and the lilac is just pretty foliage.

[@lindathompson8100]

Loved the combination Janie, beautiful colors.

[@joycerichardson1810]

The hellebores are just gorgeous this year! I collect the "Winter Jewels" series that have so many colors in single and double-flowered forms. Very long lived plants that do not like being moved!

[@abeerali7834]

Great choice and finding what’s blooming that month is such a good idea 😊 thank you!

[@kfetter9046]

Oh my gosh Janey!! Those plants look so beautiful together! I think I am going to have to try some Hellebores, and I love your idea of checking out the garden center each month to see what is in bloom - genius! 🥰

[@jrgastelum7643]

Luv the vines, I installed 3 walls in between my 2 planters along one fence line. The color is so much fun in February! Bees galore!

[@lindaga820]

Love your selections ! Sooo jealous of your long growing season !! Love going with you to your garden center !! Thank you !!!

[@IAMJC39]

Oh my what an amazing garden center!!!

[@Ingridvieira310]

This combination is absolutely beautiful !! 🌸🍃

[@thewaywardirishican]

The Hellabores are awesome! My mom moved to Idaho from CA in nov. She’s a huge gardener and couldn’t take plants with her really so my sister and I got to have a free for All in her yard. The Hellabore has been through rain and freezing temps and even wind, then out of the darkness came these super beautiful white and greenish flowers! I had no idea because I’d gotten them from my mom! Well worth it to purchase!

[@patsyspatch4342]

I have a dedicated area under my Oak tree that have Hellebores, snowdrops, a Fatsia japonica, cyclamen and Erythronium. Right now it is in full bloom and I can see the beauty of it from all back windows in my house. This morning I just noticed the pulmonaria in front of all that beauty has started to bloom. Yep, it's great to have spring colour. Cheers the mood up no end, especially as it's pouring with rain all day today here in Worcestershire, U.K.

[@CristalMermaid]

I bought cyclamen of different shades of pink and pink polka dot plants and planted them in a pot in my front porch. I like the idea of refreshing it every month with whatever Is blooming ❤

[@user-ui7ib6wg9k]

Thank you , Lord that we have Camillas, cherry trees,Japanese magnolias all blooming now.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Beautiful combinations, Lots of great garden ideas. Thanks

[@dannettesavas3269]

Hey honey, when you’re digging with the auger, if you keep it running while you pull it out, it will bring all that dirt out and it comes out much easier

[@EastwickCottageGarden]

It is realistic thinking, not pessimistic! 😀

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Would you consider adding a couple more lilac vines to the wall!? I love Lenten Roses, especially the raspberry and purple varieties. The plants look amazing.

[@ralphchapman565]

Very beautiful soft color combination. You need a little seat so you can sit and enjoy it.

[@user-qo5jp7ur4s]

One of the things someone mentioned in my MG class.....visit the garden season often so you with have bloom through out the year.

[@avanoble2663]

I love that you can change your mind and it's fun to watch what you do with your plant and where you place it! I will excitedly look forward to what's in bloom every month!

[@wendymckee6627]

I always thought that way. But last year I planted so many winter things. And they have made me smile everyday since they have come up. Makes me happy.

[@hunterhall5012]

You’re probably in good shape with the Lenten Roses. In your zone I bet they bloom in January so you probably didn’t miss the boat on getting flowers every month

[@terriromero-dewald6652]

Look for Bergina’s!! Mine have been blooming since Christmas. They send up a short spike of pink flowers. The neighbors always comment that I’m the only house that has winter blooms! They like afternoon shade.

[@delighti]

Looks absolutely fantastic! Currently snowing here in MT and this is the content I need today.

[@christietitus193]

Oh to live in a warmer climate!!! I still have time before blooms here in zone 6b :) Nice to see it will be here before I know it! (love the music btw 😊)

[@bevjensen2278]

What gorgeous lupins! I've never seen that colour before. I don't think we have hellebores in northern Ontario, which is sad, because they're gorgeous. And love love love that lilac vine! The trellis is a great idea!

[@ptaylor6153]

The music you choose is beautiful to listen to as you plant in your garden. What a Great idea to visit the garden center every month to see what blooms at that time. Thank so much for your videos.

[@margaretabril2481]

Hi Janey, I noticed a lilac vine peeking over a fence on my way home the other day. It is so beautiful and I wondered what it was. Now I know. It is so pretty with the hellabores.

[@grandmothergoose]

The proper name for the lilac vine is Hardenbergia, it's also commonly known as False Sarsaparilla, or Purple Coral Pea. There are three species and several cultivars. I suspect the one you have is Hardenbergia violacea 'Happy Wanderer, which will climb if given something to climb on, but it can also be used as a great ground cover. In Australia we also have Hardenbergias that grow as shrubs, and we have different colours, from dark purple to light purple, white ones, and the occasional somewhat rare pick one.

[@InHisGardenCreations]

That is a great idea! I am curious why you aren’t using a starter fertilizer when you plant. I watch several other gardeners and it seems like the root stimulating fertilizer really makes a difference when planting or transplanting.

[@katiedavis5861]

I just got back from my local garden center. Unfortunately uts just not time uet for us but I did pick up some starter soil. Dreams for the future....

[@JoyfulJerseyGardening]

What a pretty little spot! You made great selections.

[@manonehlers3001]

A cute monthly sign to put by your monthly garden…..as a reminder what monthly garden it is….😊

[@eliev7844]

What a beautiful combination of flowers! Love it! Oh, and love the soundtrack on this video also. Greetings from England ❤

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Janie, I have a old fashion lilac bush, it came from my grandma's old home place. I've had it for many years and I have another kind of lilac bush. But this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of climbing lilac. So very beautiful. I'm glad you bought it and the helibores and lupine. They look so pretty together. Great video.❤

[@joycerichardson1810]

It's actually a hardenbergia "Happy Wanderer." Not a lilac (Syringa) at all...just lilac-colored and a vine. There's a small hardenbergia called "Mini Ha-Ha," a play on words with the "Happy Wanderer!"

[@judymckerrow6720]

Looks good Janey. ❄️🫠💚🙃

[@griselnunez4274]

Looks lovely. Enjoy

[@kaychaney6102]

Great idea for monthly interest! Thank you!

[@patsampson6990]

Great choices! I too like to have some color interest during the seasons!

[@courtneycullen6289]

Still too frosty for me outside (but SOON!), but I broke down last fall and started petunias and geraniums from seed and they are just beautiful spring reminders. I absolutely need flowering winter plants. NEED!

[@joycelynbell1434]

Central Florida 9B here. I think I'm going to take your advice and head to the garden center this afternoon... Thanks for sharing!

[@donnaterrell938]

Love the Lupines!!!

[@yamrector2]

Hi dear, the Lupins flower almost all year and they spread like crazy, which I don't care much to this point as I love it. They are a great companion of roses and at my garden they are quite tall. I live in Argentina, like zone 7 in USA. Great buy!

[@suekrebs3497]

I enjoyed your trip to the garden center and love your plant choices. I do have some large buds on my hellebores in southern Wisconsin. I also have some anemones still green that overwintered. When it was really cold, they had snow cover to protect. I just covered them with some green cedar and hope that they hang on into spring because our snow has melted. I do have lots of green inside under growlights--- lisianthus, violas, pansies, eucalyptus, iceland poppies, snapdragons, ranunculus, and anemones. Thanks again for this colorful and fun video!

[@pamulapowell3951]

Gorgeous. Awesome fun idea💐

[@janetvorenkamp3655]

What a great plant. I'm going to see if I can grow it in my zone. what a nice planting My helebores get huge and the neighborhood cats love my lupins.

[@barbarabranstetter1784]

Love the lilac vine💕💕

[@marybethgardener111]

wish I could grow that lilac vine. wow that is stunning.

[@renaeboonstra54]

So beautiful 🍃🍃❤️🍃🍃

[@HoyEnElJardin]

!Que hermosas plantas! Mi favorito es el lupine; yo quisiera tenerlo también en mi jardín pero no sé qué tan bien le vaya en mi zona 10b del Sur de California. También me encantó la música que utilizaste. ❤

[@botanykey]

Great color combo!

[@user-ev6fi5xu1f]

Janie you chose such lovely plants! I think those might be ice n roses hellebores❤

[@athomewithelisa]

The lupines are really easy to grow from seed to Janey, might be worth a try

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Everything is starting to bud up here in Virginia, Winter is not done yet, hope it all survives

[@TheMistakenGarden]

Such a great idea to buy things in bloom. I’m heading to my garden centre now lol

[@juliets_garden]

I love the color combo!

[@robinstokes3602]

Love all the color. Fills my heart with joy. We are covered in snow in PA.

[@Deb-xn6yr]

It's still cold here in Georgia, but soon I will run out in my garden !! from GA with love ❤

[@lindaga820]

In sw Pa. I SOOO ENVY her long growing season !!! So nice watching her at the garden center and seeing the beautiful colors !!

[@janettefisher256]

I would luv to have blooms all winter . Illinois

[@gramsthebuilder5388]

I bought a camellia for that same reason . It is Just now blooming and I am soooo Happy ! I have one of those primroses. I love the palm tree’s on the other side of the fence .

[@ThePieceFullGarden]

I was at our local garden center a few weeks ago and saw this gorgeous purple vine, I too passed it up. Then saw your video and realized that was the same plant! Maybe a little detour to the plant store today 😁 #Janey made me do it

[@amyflatten9114]

What a beautiful combination of plants! Love that purple lilac vine - thinking about how to work it into our sunny SC garden. 😊 May not work since we don’t have much shade. Thanks so much for sharing. It’s beautiful!! ❤

[@lavenderbutterfly2160]

You could juice alot of oranges put them in freezer bags flat and stack them in the freezer and anytime you want fresh orange juice you never have to buy it ever and you can dehydrate them also wedge them an freeze them and they taste fresh it last along time in the freezer and limes as well

[@grammasworld]

Check the trellis at Costco (when they come in). Inexpensive, sturdy. I do attach mine to my crappy fence with an eye screw and wire for a little stability but the weight is supported by the legs. You may not like the design but the hardenbergia will hide it in no time. Mine grows outside the window where I put my Christmas tree. Since I'm always a little sad when I take down the tree, the plant in bloom is a comfort.

[@tinah8065]

I love those colors together. Those viburnum were gorgeous too! And the blue primroses. I have a tough time figuring out which primrose would be perennial here (z5). I don’t think we can trust garden center plants to bloom the same time as they get them blooming here in our area. That would be fun though to have a garden patch for each month! We can get pretty blooming hellebores now, but can’t put them outside yet. The ones planted in the ground have just tiny bits of proof of life on just a couple.

[@grisespino5342]

Lupine 💜💛💖.

[@lesliehardin7963]

Underplant the lilac with clematis so when it’s not blooming, the clematis will be. I do this with my climbing roses and the look magnificent together. I’m in zone 8. Hot humid weather.

[@user-vx7kg1lu7v]

Janey I was hoping you'd choose lupine with the vine and lenten rose. Love that you named the area February garden. What's happening with the purple orange garden? So excited to see what you add to that color combo. Great designs Janey.

[@sgildeasg]

Maybe use CATTLE PANEL instead of trellis ❤

[@karysu51]

I agree that you are wise not to attach anything to that fence for all the reasons you pointed out and the cattle panel is a great alternatvive. Beautiful little vignette in that space.

[@segapena5033]

​@@karysu51I made a homemade free standing trellis using an 8'5' cattle panel and three 8ft long, 4x4 pressure treated fence posts. And I am not handy at all. What's nice is that although heavy I can still pick it up and move it if I don't like the spot. Cost about $150 in materials but much cheaper than paying hundreds of dollars for a 6ft trellis that isn't even free standing.

[@clairevickers8925]

ADD A CLEMATIS IN WITH YOUR LILAC VINE. THE LV WILL SUPPORT THE CLEMATIS GET A SUMMAER FLOWERING CLEMATIS WHICH GETS CUT BACK IN THE SPRING

[@ordiekelleher2641]

So pretty😊!

[@tlcgarden2300]

What a relaxing, calming video with the beautiful flowers and music! Loved it! ❤M

[@jeanbrewer576]

Hi Janey, I'm jealous, your planting beautiful flowers I'm setting here waiting for it to really warm up I am so getting antsy to get my hands in the dirt. It's just beautiful what you planned. Have a wonderful rest of the day, is it possible to make your videos longer? I love your channel, invited a friend to your channel. 🙂👋

[@kellyoliver1943]

I love the softness that your choices added to that dark spot in your garden! It's so much fun watching every little step and the impact it has!! Way to go, Janey and Jason!! 😊

[@Who_Else]

I don’t know how you left that camellia at the garden center! It was gorgeous. I think I would have needed it along with the lilac vine, hellebores, and lupine! 😂

[@user-on1ez8hi2j]

Love love hellebores. I have every kind the world offers and have always grown them. Some reseed which is wonderful. Love lupines too but I call them sucker plants bc I am a sucker for buying them when they dont grow well in our heat and humidity in SC. Lol.

[@joshuam0289]

Flowers In February lol I’m jealous 😢 We have a ways to go to even see sprouts in Michigan

[@darlenehickman220]

Beautiful

[@margaretl579]

My husband charts out what is blooming when and for how long in our garden. He wants year round blooms. He includes trees in his count.

[@NalaniNgoon]

Osmanthus, you’ve gotta get an Osmanthus fragrans, they have the most wonderful apricot smelling bloom. It’s an evergreen shrub/tree… not the most exciting to look at, but worth the fragrance. You can tuck it away somewhere and you’ll be able to smell it from far away. I was introduced to it while in a horticulture class at UCDavis, so it will definitely work for you.

[@irispresley3182]

Beautiful lilac vines, I am getting ready to plant roses ❤. Thanks for sharing.

[@mypreciousgarden]

It is worth it indeed, for us and for wildlife ! :) Bees are slowly waking up and need food ! I love what you chose, and the lupin's colour is gorgeous :)

[@kimgurley472]

Great idea!!!!!

[@angelamatthews3658]

Janey great idea! Why didn't I think of that😂....once all this snow melts I'll go bloom shopping...so glad you found the blooms you wanted and I don't think your fence is ugly.... everything is looking great!

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

😂 I brought home some bees when I bought some flowering shrubs❣️ luckily the garden center is close to my house because the bees didn’t mind the car ride.😂❤

[@robinbennett881]

Hellebores are on my list to add to my garden. For us anything breaking through the snow is exciting.
