Blue Flowers for Beautiful Garden

[@springsunshine8944]

Love the different blues just such a likeable color. Blue iris is one of my favorite .

I too live in Houston Texas. I am a crazy plant lover. I am new to this continent. Could anyone suggest any Houston /,Texas based organization or groups where I can join to explore plant life ?

[@jemmaleofitz1152]

Hi Ana's Parise, I'm from Odessa, Tx. On Facebook there is a Garden Answer groupies page. They are constantly posting photos of their gardens/plants. They also ask questions & try to answer those questions. As far as groups in your area, I would Google. Welcome to Texas.

In Houston after you thaw out go to a large plant nursery and ask the manager about the different organizations not to far from where you are in Houston to learn about your zone which I believe is zone 9.

Proven Winners, Thank you for this information. I have been gardening for years and this is the best video on blue flowers. Laura is the best!!!

[@noracoolen2167]

Love blue flowers mixed with pink and white

[@kittenkorleone2918]

I put in my Blue Chiffon Rose of Sharon in early spring last year and was so impressed with the color and length of bloom. It's been packed in snow all winter and it's just beginning to melt. Finally! I'm so looking forward to see what it'll do for me this season.

[@louisewilson4603]

Love blue flowers. I have planted blue poppies from seed and they grew the first year but the seeds and plants did not the second year. I even bought a small plant at the nursery and it did not do well. My other poppies do great. I think it is a delicate plant like the california poppy. Both seem to be hit or miss. Thanks for your info. I now have another list for shopping. I hope the garden centers are able to open up this year. Hope you have a nice day with your loving family.

Delphinium "diamonds blue" is a new SUPER blue strain. It's a must have!

Texas Bluebonnets are beautiful! They bloom early spring. They spread like crazy, so it’s best to have plenty of room for them. They grow to 6”-12” tall. I love driving the highways in Texas in the early spring and seeing the beautiful flowers along the roadside and in fields for as far as you can see.

[@MyMartinaG]

I grow blue poppy in Sweden. Germination is fairly straigthforward from my experience. Make sure to use peat in your sowing mix and sprinkle the seeds on top without pressing them into the soil, but instead make sure they have good contact with the soil by giving them a spray with a spray bottle. Keep them at about 17-18 degrees Celsius untill they germinate. Once germination has started, keep them at the same temperature during the day but much lower at night (preferable under 10C like a refrigerator). When planting them in your garden, they want a spot that is always a little moist but never soaking wet and be aware they dry out quickly. Part shade is preferred as they do not really like the hot mid day sun. Love your channel btw. Keep up the good work and good luck with the new garden!

[@roseannekinney6942]

Balloon flowers are my husband's favorite blue flower. With just a little care they can bloom all summer long.

[@portlandval55]

This year I bought more Proven Winners plants than any other grower. This because of Laura results and what I’ve experienced because she taught me how to grow annuals !! Love everything. Go Laura.

Blue adds a pop of colour to your garden layout! Thanks for this info

[@elleg.2177]

Thank you Laura, I love splashes if blue in my mostly purple and yellow flowering garden. Especially lobelia, which survives as a short lived perennial in our mild winters here in Melbourne’s west if given a little extra care and shade in the hotter months. Thus, I always grow them in pots. I also love Ceanothus blue pacific. Short flowering season but stunning and thrives in our alkaline soil. Also, Felicia amelloides, looks delicate but is quite tough and long flowering. Look forward to all your videos!

[@patriciast.claire7138]

Flax is pretty simple to grow. The blue was very pretty, and in my opinion couldn't be mistaken for purple. I was told it is a perennial, however, unless it was reseeded every yr., it didn't come back.

[@chloebrown1399]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been desperately seeking out a blue variety for my daughter, who has autism. All she wants are blue flowers outside her bedroom window. Heading down to the garden center to see if they will order me something that will work!

[@fannieallen6005]

I really love blue flowers because you don't see them a lot in people's yards or gardens.

[@diversegardener392]

Hi Laura, from frozen San Antonio Texas bluebonnets are a wild flower and do not need hardly any watering during blooming even before that. Their seeds naturally spread when the pods dry out and they pop and spread on top of the soil. Germination takes place Throughout the summer and fall. In late Winter and early Spring they grow to Bloom in Spring. They do not spread like wildfire so they are very manageable. They look gorgeous with Indian paintbrush here in Texas. I hope this helps.

[@thezeeyez7151]

Hi, would Bluebonnets be a good back plant choice? I'm here in Texas and I need something that grows on a back row, requires little attention and can withstand heat & sunlight. Tfs❤️

[@diversegardener392]

@@thezeeyez7151 well they only grow about 12" and are good for borders. Unless you plant something smaller in front of them. God luck!😊

Love these videos. I've been gardening about 4 decades now...or maybe a bit more...in all kinds of soil and climate [but nothing above zone 6]. I live in south eastern Ontario, Canada. I have also worked in a couple of garden centres/nurseries over the years, and I am considered a garden nerd. But I've learned one can always learn more, and I really like the informativeness [is that a word?] of these videos and they are just a pleasure to watch [especially when I can't garden, like today...too wet and rainy.

[@missthang4770]

Laura that was a wonderfully informative video, as usual. Thank you. I've grown borage both in my veggie and ornamental gardens for years as they are quite a bee magnet. What I've noticed is that the blue flowers actually "fade" to pink so get a really interesting display.

[@stephaniebriggs1296]

Bluebonnets are prolific here in Texas. Large drifts fill the medians of many roadways where people enjoy having pictures taken. I have them in my garden. LOVE them. They show off every spring and I have even seen them bloom again in fall. Wildseed Farm in Fredericksburg, TX carries the seed by the pound in good years. They self seed and spread nicely throughout the garden. They seem to like tucking themselves against stones and other hard structures.

[@harrykersey9086]

I live in N. Georgia now and am just discovering the gazillions of wild flowers and bulbs I've never seen or watched grow and show off lol the iris here are stellar !

[@MickeyMacks1]

Great list! I would add: Virginia Bluebells (spring bulb), Allium azureum (summer bulb), 'Rozanne' cranesbill geranium, chaste tree (actually a vitex shrub), and 'Blue Muffin' arrowhead viburnum (for its ornamental blue berries in the fall. I can highly recommend Delphinium 'Blue Butterfly' for its blue colour, even though it's not a reliable perennial for me in Zone 6. Worth growing anyway, the flowers look like vivid blue wizard hats!

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

The bluebonnets grow by the highways in Texas. Sometimes there are traffic jams as people park and take pictures of whole fields carpeted in bluebonnets. Farmers like them. They are nitrogen fixers. Just don't pick them because they are protected by state law.

[@gayleritter1199]

Laura, I don’t know if you can grow these but Lithadora is a perennial and is a gorgeous bright blue ground cover. I get so excited when I see them start to bloom because they are the first and then I know spring is around the corner. Sorry, I wrote this b4 you covered this in your vid.

I live in coastal Alaska. The Himalayan Blue poppy does well here. It needs a cool climate and the blue color is gorgeous! Just wish they had a longer bloom time. I’m planning to winter sow some of the seeds.

[@carolsmith7951]

Larkspur is a beautiful delicate blue in our Nashville TN area. Blooms for a long time and spreads beautifully and I love a drift of them. Easy to transplant and give to friends also.

I love blue flowers! Delphiniums are my all time favorite. I sometimes struggle with growing them in humid hot NC. But I think they are gorgeous ❤️

[@melanierust7129]

I love how they produce their flowers on the stalks. How do you think they would do in Houston hot weather? You said you have trouble growing them in the humidity, in what way? No blooms, stay small, ??

[@Mustangmom2k]

Delphiniums are my favorite, too, (tied for 1st place with hydrangea), but I also have trouble with delphiniums here in hot, humid VA (zone7). I think last season was my 6th attempt using 3 plants, which actually survived the summer. Now in Spring, I see that 2 of them are coming back, which is a first for me, and one is not. I don't think they like humidity. I have tried them in different spots around my gardens with zero success in them coming back in Spring--until this year. I put them in a part sun location and that seemed to help. Fingers crossed that they don't perish this summer. On the other hand, I have the most gorgeous, huge, blue hydrangeas that are no problem at all. I don't do anything but water them and they're fabulous!

Laura, you're timing on this video is spot on. I've been researching images galore as I'm trying for a very particular color scheme in this year's garden and really don't want any funny surprises do to goofy labels/color names. I'll never understand why flower colors aren't more accurately reflected among so many different vendors and varieties. It's a very peculiar thing!

Blue daze is another very blue flower. It is an annual, low growing and spreading. Very pretty cascading in a basket or pot. They grow well in warm climates. I am in zone 7a. My favorite flower color is blue and I think because they are so rare.

[@lenabrustad305]

The blue himalayan poppies prefer colder climates and moist air. They perform really well in my garden here in North of Norway. They are really easy to winter sow as they like the cold to geminate. They also prefer slight acidic soil.

I rescued a hydrangea that was given in small pot to a friend when she was sick. She was going to throw it out, because it was so sad and dried up. I always believe in another chance, so took it home and planted it. It is now so big and healthy! It will bloom this year for the first time. I do have to watch because in a townhouse the gardeners tend to kill things. I've lost my 3rd Hosta this year...

[@alpinereid5265]

I am currently growing Himalayan Blue Poppies from seed. They have sprouted -- took about 12 days -- I expected them to take longer. They are the tiniest of sprouts -- maybe an 1/8th of an inch tall on day 19. I'm excited to see if they make it. I have no trouble growing pansy from seed either, both purchased seed and hand gathered seed yet, I seem to have absolutely no luck germinating Delphinium! I had just 2 seeds mature into plants last year from a full packet of seeds, one of which the slugs made a meal of. This year, still no luck. Not sure what the trick is to them but I will persevere! LOL That's the fun of gardening, isn't it? the challenge!
