@@GeorgesJungleGarden yeh I've been going through most of your videos over the last few days. As someone who is pretty much a novice gardener I've picked up some nice tips so thanks for that! Just wondered, does that spot get sun in the summer or is it in shade all year? I just ask as that whole topic around full sun/shade confuses me a tad. The border I want to fill up, with these sort of plants, is north facing so gets very little sun in winter but gets quite abit in the summer.
@GeorgesJungleGarden7 ай бұрын
Thanks, I'm pleased you've got something out of them. This area has the fence to the south and the small wall to west so most of the plants don't see a lot of direct sunlight outside of mid-summer. Personally I think most plants can grow well in bright areas which are either semi-shaded or only see sun for part of the day / year. When it comes to proper dark, gloomy shade which restricts brightness significantly then you have to be a bit more selective with plant choices but there's a lot of plants which will cope with the conditions you describe just fine and I wouldn't worry too much. Everything in this little border would work for you no problem and in fact most of my garden is actually shaded by the larger trees next door.

I just recently discovered your channel and am watching it for tropical garden ideas. This spring I'm going to go for the tropical look by starting out with a hardy banana plants. I have already grown ferns, elephant ears, caladiums, and hardy hibiscus. Have you ever heard of the 'voodoo lily' or Dracunculus vulgaris? I have watched several tropical garden channels but no one mentions this plant. It's very exotic in appearance but can withstand temperatures below zero F. The drawback of this lily is that it smells like rotting flesh and will die back midway through the summer.
@GeorgesJungleGarden2 жыл бұрын
Hi and thank you! It sounds like you've got a great mix of plants. I grow the 'voodoo lily' yes, just one plant, and the leaves are unusual as well as the flowers. They do die back early but I probably planted mine too close to the Gunnera so it gets completely overshadowed! Well worth growing though and good luck with your spring garden plans!

George , could I please ask you some advise on heucheras , I grow many colours , very successfully , and have done division and multiplied them all except the yellow / gold ones , I have had a couple for many years now , and they slowly got smaller and are struggling , they are in a soil which has plenty of compost mixed in and I feed them regularly each spring and summer ,, and I’ve checked the roots for vine weevil and they are clear of them so I can’t understand why all the other colours thrive in the same conditions and the yellow/ gold ones struggle , . Ps , I even protect the yellow ones from frost with a pot stuffed with fleece as a cover for them . What is it I’m doing wrong or is it the plant . Thankyou in advance , hope you can give me an answer .
@GeorgesJungleGarden3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sylvie, I'm probably not qualified to give you a definite answer. Vine weevil is what I would have said originally but it could be as you suspect that some plants are just weaker than others. The red and green ones seem to bulk up well quite easily. I actually had some yellow-ish ones in our old garden that never did especially well, moved them to the back of a border at the new garden and even though they've not had any specific care they're grown so much better. Maybe being in more shade has helped, maybe it's a richer soil but I suspect it's as simple as more consistent moisture in their new location. None of mine get any protection, I leave them to it. Sorry I can't help massively but I'm probably say it's either the plants at fault (not your care) or that the yellow ones aren't as tolerant of a drier soil potentially...

@GeorgesJungleGarden3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes, they're not hugely wide and get going upwards soon enough. Like a lot of Trachycarpus they're quite easy going so sun or partial shade is absolutely fine, this spot won't receive too much direct sun but equally it's not in full shade and as the plant gets taller it'll get more light. If you google pics you'll see they keep growing taller like a Fortunei, I don't know an ultimate height but they sometimes look a bit strange when they're very tall as they still have the small leaves! They tend to start off slow, grow faster as they're trunking then slow down again in maturity.
