White Blooming Annuals for Our Moon Garden! 🌿🌘✨// Garden Answer

[@kathleenwhite9741]

As I understand it, moon garden flower colors are any pale colored blooms that will look white-ish in the dark, so I think you got it girl! Can't wait to see how it turns out!!! 😀💕👍

[@melaniek072895]

Its your Moon Garden so you can do whatever you want. Anything u do looks amazing anyways, I know it will be beautiful 🤍

[@Bamboo4U2]

Aaaand, of the more than 150 moons in our solar system, I can tell you not all of them are white so she never did specify *WHICH* moon she was going for. 😁🌜🌑🌒🌓🌔🌗

[@verawallace9055]

@@Bamboo4U2 always the teacher, but she changed her mind lol , and I need to get some white in my garden, too much purple, yellow and pink

[@dianed805]

Does anyone else want to see those tables behind? Maybe a quick greenhouse tour because it looks gorgeous and I can't wander around my local garden centre like I usually do this time of year. Love your channel and all your hard work! Thank you.

I wasn't the only one eyeing the plants behind her then! 😊

[@dianed805]

@@amandajpuryer8286 nope lol I so miss hanging out at the garden centre surrounded by beautiful well cared for/happy plants and wanted to jump through the screen and just sit in her greenhouse. Creepy I know but I promise I would've dead headed while I was there 😂

That supertunia latte looks like a night sky! If that doesn’t fit in a moon garden I don’t know what does.

I love that one, and I have not seen it anywhere in my gardening centers. I also may have a coffee addiction, so....

[@natalialopes719]

I do not think white is boring. White is is and always has been my favorite color. I've had people tell me it's boring but I just love it. I have a lot of white inside and outside my house

[@neldahargo29]

dichondra worked so well for me, I put a hat on top of the pot and a pair of sunglasses jut under the hat and hung it near the front door as a Halloween ghost.

[@bening77]

Hello ,yeay how are you

[@marilynruggeberg]

You are so Cute. I didn't know there were "Rules" for a Moon Garden. It is your Garden, you make the Rules. I also ordered the "Latte" petunias. I am going to use them in hanging baskets by my patio. And of course Russell had to make his "Appearance" 🥰.

[@mariafolch8067]

🌿 I guess she can do whatever she wants. However, she is trying to stay within the guidelines. Gardening Know How says: Moon gardening at night is a great way to enjoy white or light-colored, night blooming plants, in addition to those that release their intoxicating aromas in the evening. White flowers and light-colored foliage reflect the moonlight. Not only are these a beautiful sight to behold, or smell, but these night gardens also attract important pollinators, such as moths and bats. Keep reading for ideas for a moon garden.

@Marilyn Ruggerberg: where do you order plants from? Thanks.

[@-sstevens5444]

Given that the lure of your vlog is to see new ideas... I really like the way you want to try new plants. "If it doesn't work..." excellent try again. Also. Filling in until the perennials are decided is the best advice. Thanks for being here, for helping gardens around the world. ❤😎

[@Kerrin77JIH]

Laura, here’s what I think about rules in the garden: throw them out, thrown them WAY out! Gardens are a personal representation of us! That’s the only rule we should follow. Otherwise, why do we work so hard? We love the process and we need to love the result. Everything you two do is beautiful. Carry on. 💝💝💝

[@Edu_Kate]

And besides, they're annuals (most of them).

[@sarahhay6101]

I agree, gardening is an art form. We are each our own artists.

[@kellisteele3640]

Jezi H I 💯 agree!!

[@CC-ci8gn]

Question, You do plan to give us a night tour of your moon garden? 😍 Maybe even a picture from a window at night? Pretty please. 😊

[@Bamboo4U2]

Ha ha ha. i just (very indiscreetely) dropped the same *hint* at her about a nighttime tour. GMTA!

[@verawallace9055]

Am sure she will , she wouldn't do that to us lol

[@My_slow_story]

So happy for the moon garden! I have started my white themed garden 3 years ago and coming up nicely; lots of white peonies, viburnum, white flowering prunus, silver leafed hosta, white flowering wild strawberries, azalea and plenty of ferns and hydrangeas :)

[@minervas_garden19]

All of the plants you showed are perfect for a moon garden! It’s great to have varieties shades of whites, textural silvers and pretty centers. And with all the lovely color you have throughout the rest of the garden, it’s so calming to see this wonderfully classic white garden! I’m also excited about the white pumpkins, the blue pumpkins and the white eggplant! Loving it so much!!

[@Nicole-ge4vg]

That's the beauty. It's YOUR moon garden. You do any shade of white you want, with and center you want. So excited to follow your version. Rules, smules.

[@tdwatki]

Ok, right out of the gate, that spread of plants on the table is gorgeous!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

This garden is going to be so interesting and I’m looking so forward to seeing it in it’s full glory! 🤍

[@CC-ci8gn]

I love how you mix informal (white waternelon 😍) within a formal garden. You always impress me with how you bend the rules to suit your own desires. Though I looked up 'moon garden definition' and you are following every method, so your'e not bending them as much as you think. It's a joy to come into your yard every day and see what creative things you will do next.

[@CYRiPKK1]

I don’t know who’s policing your planting choices. It’s your garden, your creative space. We are here for you; your knowledge and creativity. Those are all beautiful plants, excited to see how it blends with the vine crops.

[@katherinecornette5315]

While I love color in my garden there is something sophisticated and magical about whites & silvers especially how they catch different light. This will NOT be boring! Can't wait to see how you combine these!

[@majorzipf8947]

Few things make me more hopeful and excited for the future like gardening; in my own space as well as watching yours. For years you dreamt of having your all white garden and now we get to see the process of you turning it into something magical. It's the most satisfying, fulfilling thing and I thank you. Also, I have a couple of the African daisies this year and I find that their blooms aren't thick enough to really bury the spent blooms. They stay very visible and I find myself deadheading them every couple days.

[@leslieholstein9077]

Love white blooms, especially with black flowers. Can’t wait to see how your garden turns out!! Love the Supertinia Lattes for a Moon Garden!!!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Great plant selection there. I love seeing you channel your inner Vita Sackville-West. It’s all coming together!

[@loda9510]

Oh these plants are some kind of pretty. I know you will create a beautiful moon garden. White is so pure and will be gorgeous. Even in the greenhouse I could hear the wind and see the arborvitaes swaying in the wind behind you. Look forward to seeing what you create!

[@sherryo.6600]

This is YOUR moon garden & you can do YOUR RULES. 🌜 It can have subtle variances in the blooms and still be perfect. I think the colored centers of the blooms just add slight highlights and shadows which will give more dimension to the completed vista. 👀 I can't wait for updates. It's so exciting to watch the progress! I'm sure it's going to be a place of serenity offering a refuge from the stressful times. Thank you for sharing so much inspiration with us. Your work is so appreciated. 💖

[@MousyLeigh]

I LOVE these. White flowers bring so much brightness to a garden

[@KML-rw1iq]

Beautiful plant choices - can't wait to see how you use them in that space! This is tendered with the utmost respect, Laura. I love how precise you are with your word choices, and how clearly you can describe your thought processes with plants and in the garden, so I thought you might want to be reminded that things happen "by" accident, rather than "on". (As in "she put the poison ON the table BY accident. It's not a grammar thing, just a logic one. :D) If not, and that's just the way you say it where you are, carry on! No correction or criticism implied. I admire and respect how you listen to and consider comments but don't always agree or change your mind about how you approach things - that's so refreshing. Thanks for all you share with us.

[@gardencookeat22]

Thank you! I'm redoing my front yard, st Augustine had died years ago.i am planning a lot of low lying coverage with white blooms. You introduced me to new varieties and ideas!!!

[@melness6621]

White makes a garden look ethereal..love it.

[@shelmmii9425]

When I see pink or red or purple its very beautiful, but they don't have the soft elegance and kind of sophistication that white blooms have. They almost look like the jewels of flower gardens. They bring a coolness to the eyes during a hot day. They're so beautiful. Especially white roses.

[@christinasanders2742]

Laura...I love white and silver flowers. It's so cool to walk in a garden when the moon is full and see them glowing in the moonlight. I am surprised you left out scavula. It is such an amazing plant. I have two urns planted with white scavula and they are already huge! Proven Winners plants of course!

I love white gardens. They are beautiful on sunny days, cloudy days and at night. It doesn't matter if the flowers have other colors on them as long as predominately white they are beautiful. I like variegated vines, shrubs, grasses too. White or light colored structures are also nice.

[@brookebenham6830]

We got down to 37 here in northern Missouri and we had just bought a bunch of plants. We were able to follow your suggestion to "hill in" our plants since we didn't have time to properly plant them and all of them look great! Thank you so much for all your education!

aaaah!! I really can't wait to see the moon garden full and complete 😍 it's going to look so pretty!!!

[@helenhoutchen]

What I have read about moon gardens state yellow flowers are often used with white, as well as silver leafed plants, and fragrant ones. The goal is to have a garden that can be enjoyed at night. I wouldnt worry about keeping it all white. You will be viewing it during the day as well. It is going to be glorious! You are awesome! I can hardly wait to see it completed.

[@dawndawn6946]

I’ve always wanted a moon garden. When we bought our home ten years ago, I started planning a little moon garden. I thought to myself, I can do this-a little garden outside our master bedroom windows. Everything I knew about gardening was challenged in this zone. Anyway, still no moon garden, and then I see YOUR moon garden. It’s HUGE! Now I have a moon garden complex.😜 Mine will be too small! LOL Thank you for the inspiration and all the knowledge you share. I finally, FINALLY have the confidence to solidify plans and start my own moon garden. Thanks for all you and Aaron do!💗

[@jaclyndepre5557]

Love that Latte Supertunia. I think it will be such a dramatic little addition to your Moon Garden

[@Madeen1982]

The idea of a moon garden is amazing, but the black and white one could also be really great!

Laura, as far as I know there are no Moom Garden Police. You do you! Whatever you choose for your Moon Garden will be great! 💚💚

[@andreasprickman6255]

I have been excited to plant the Supertunia Vista Snowdrift even though we just had another frost! I always go for super bright colors but I’m really drawn to white flowers now. Your videos and flower choices have really inspired me to mix it up!

[@Bamboo4U2]

Yulia, over at her channel (YGarden), has lots of cleome in her garden. If you like that plant, you should check out some of her tours from past summers (if you haven't already).

[@LB-vl3qn]

Rules in a moon garden? Pshaw! All those textures together on the table looks so interesting. I have a weakness for white blooms and blue foliage because of the calm they bring to a garden. Not even the boldest white flower could be considered obnoxious, and they look cool and crisp even in 100-degree heat. You have chosen well, my dear. The whole west side is just going to glow this summer. This, and the planned rose garden are the projects I'm most excited about on your property. Btw, for cleome, say klee-oh-mee. Now, run to house to avoid getting blown into the next county. I could hear the wind battering the cold frame the whole time. ~ Lisa

[@kathyj8294]

White flowers look outstanding against a dark mulch - love all the whites💕

[@laurelking9640]

The silver bullet reminds me of the Dusty Miller plant I have in my garden. When we moved here I didn’t know what it was and it was a woody old plant, so I tried to cut it out of my garden. It came back so beautiful, I’m so glad I didn’t kill it. My garden is shaping up nicely now!! Thanks for sharing you knowledge of gardening. You are great!!😀

[@HappyCats17]

I am definitely in the "nothing but white flowers are kind of boring " camp, BUT, they bring a serene beauty that no other color can match. No other color could stand alone as the only color in a garden. White flowers are magical, and I can't wait to see the moon garden come to life! I have a small patch of a moon garden, but I confess to having a few blue blues and some pale lavender flowers in mine. The pale lavender shades ( mostly petunias) glow at twilight. Maybe mine is more of a twilight garden? Or perhaps un jardin pour l’heure bleue?

[@vintage_hippie7305]

Moon gardens are my favorite!! They're so elegant and peaceful to look at.

[@tinatidwell3396]

I love a moon garden. I love the way the white plants just glow in the moonlight, there is something magical about it. You mentioned a black and white garden, I have been curious as to what plants you would choose for that. It sounds very interesting. I've never heard of it before.

[@janejohnson6411]

I can't wait until you plant these in your moon garden. Who knew there were so many different varieties and textures of white, I love them all and the accent plants are beautiful.

I just planted up a small planter on my back deck and let me tell you...they are beautiful! I will be purchasing another couple white specimens to put in my front gardens as well. Thanks for the inspiration as usual Laura! PS...a video on amending soil with gypsum would be SUPER appreciated!!

[@kelseroo1]

I am loving all the moon garden content! My favorite video series so far. Have you thought about planting lambs ear in the moon garden? The silvery foliage would look amazing, and it is such an easy perennial too.

[@vanessajohnson1944]

I have a woodland, somewhat shady area and think the white blooms would brighten it up very nicely. I like trying some of these annuals to see how they do. I could add in many colorful perennials over the coming years as the 'yarden' progresses. Thanks for this video!

[@simoneb.1179]

I just planted some white endless flirtation underneath my Japanese maple tree. It looks very nice but I had to wait like a week before I could actually plant them. When I bought them my garden center told me to wait until the freezing temperature was done. I hope they will be fine now. Love all the different white plants you showed us. I just enjoy your channel :) thanks

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

The video was great I think the white is beautiful so calming and peaceful looking and it is your garden to do what you like!

[@nspector]

Laura, I would LOVE for you to do a whole video about which annuals, and perennials too, can take more cold and which need to wait for warmer temps to be planted. I ordered from PW for the first time this year, a big order (for me!), and mostly annuals which I have very little experience with. It arrived on April 22, which meant it was supposed to be OK to go in the ground then. But it really wasn't because we've had this crazy cold (I'm in Connecticut). So......I scrambled to cover them. Some are doing OK; some are not. I'd LOVE to learn more about which plants really need to wait.

[@theresaglass1831]

So Laura once you get your moon garden to a certain point of bloom and you have your first warm moon lit night. You need to do a moon-lit night stroll video with music. That would be awesome! Aaron let your creative juices flow. 😉👌

[@cindyswain6613]

They are all very beautiful ❤️. You make your own house rules and do what you want. I don't think everything has to be white. The white plants just pop and I think can be interspersed with other plants to have night interest in any flower bed. Great videos. Thank you 😊.

[@cupcakebeautiful]

Could we get a greenhouse tour please? It looks so full and exciting

[@_nicole__]

I had never heard of a moon garden until I watched one of your videos last year. It inspired me to plant up a grouping of containers at a gate with many of the plants you show here & I absolutely loved it. I picked up many of the same plants this year & plan to do something similar in other spots as well. 💚

Oh Laura-I just LOVE what you have done with the Moon Garden area! Before I had ever heard the term a few years back I planted a small all white blossoms area and a container as well because I loved the white and deep green combination. It was lovely, little did I know about Moon 🌙 Gardens, though I learned so much more after that summer. Some people think why would anyone want white blossoms after winters of white snow everywhere. I think you hit on it

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

when you said freshness! So continue experimenting please. Love that you share your process!!!!

[@TheMasonTee]

Hey Laura! Would you consider doing a beginners guide video on starting pumpkins and other similar vine crops from seed? I would love to grow some this year, and I’ve always been amazed at how you so casually tuck them in to the best spots in your garden in previous videos! Thank you (and Aaron) for putting out daily doses of inspiration for us amateurs!

[@jessicavanwagenen7776]

Hi Laura! It has happened-I have become obsessed with your channel! I haven’t had the best luck with finding some of the beautiful plants you show everyday.

The way they age if one of the main reasons I don't always like white flowers. Azaleas are the worst, but white roses can look pretty awful as they age, too.
