High-Performing Annuals That Are Thriving In Late July

[@jordanyeager9220]

1:21 omg! Jenny you weren't lying about that sweet potato vine masking the flower shed. Absolutely stunning! ❤🌿

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I knew it would cover the wall; it just took a minute. That plant is a beautiful beast! 😂

[@bethdavis8441]

I love how Jenny is so real and tells us those annuals that forgive you for ignoring them for a bit. Very helpful. I couldn't help but notice her glorious climbing rose. Even though not in bloom not a hint of black spot on it. Please do a video on how you prevent blackspot and care for your roses. This time of year I grieve at how many of my roses are struggling due to that disease (and I'm in a less humid environment than NC). Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us!

[@HoustonKeith72]

Agreed. Give us the real tea!! Keeps our expectations in checks so we don't beat ourselves when the going gets rough.

[@sharoncoon5439]

I agree . Jenny is such a knowledgeable lady and I enjoy watching her.

[@valhallamcgaughey3720]

Towards the beginning she showed some gorgeous flowers with more blooms than my yard has ever seen and said, “they’re on the struggle bus.” My jaw dropped.

[@rethablair6902]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@doreen9838]

Brenna enjoying her best life being in the beautiful gardens with you!!!!!!!

[@jodyeickhoff2237]

Your gardens are all so lush and bursting with color! This has been an odd season for plants! Some do great some not so much. Your beds are beautiful! Don’t be so hard on yourself. You have done the work of 6 people this season what with the flood and signature garden and signature experience plus all your regular garden chores. Everything looks fabulous!!!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

So nice of you, thank you❣️

[@mrs.m4702]

Hello, Jenny❤🌸! Awesome content and so much truth in the garden spoken in this video!! Have I told you lately that I love ya! I’m sporting some of the same “rock stars” in my garden! Through your precious and wide range of wisdom in the garden, this has been one of my most enjoyable seasons thus far! Thank you again, friend❤.

[@stellapacheco6797]

Love your sense of humor and your down to earth personality!

[@denvertom7627]

Take care and feel better soon.

[@marlenagilbert9488]

Caladiums in Columbia MD perform just spectacular! i have them in pots together with petunias matching colors, spectacular!

[@robinbirdd3]

Oh my! ❤the double impatient and diamond frost together 😍😍😍😍

[@HoustonKeith72]

Jenny, my southern friend, you crack me up. I hear ya! And I don't have all you have going on. My little patch in Houston has seen a hurricane and hot humid summer and mosquitos and blackspot and thrips, etc. I just have to let some things be at this stage in the season. This boy is ready for fall planting! Your garden looks beautiful as always. You make me laugh!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Bring on October!!!! 🍁

[@renapunte6591]

Everything is looking good . And my lantana has been taking its good old time taking off this season also. Zone 7a. Hot and humid VA. 🌻

[@donnanowik7955]

I did a double-take when the silver falls on the front porch came into view...my brain saw 2 small alien beings wearing camo and standing guard at your house. This hot summer has fried my brain! 😅 Feel better soon, Jenny!

[@cece_marie]

The privacy berm annuals are absolutely dreamy this year! I love the lantana mounds, perfect spacing and a pollinator's dream. 🥰🦋 🐝

[@nancypatterson374]

The berm is looking so pretty,Jenny! With my critters Lantana never fails me and most come back for me. I feel your pain, with the rain comes the fire ants. Over night they pop up everywhere and THEY HURT! Have a blessed Saturday ❤

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Another great vedio & extremely helpful. Love seeing how their doing med season. Helps pick fir next year. Loving the white begonia out back, live how they make a sweet border with the pink angalonia. Thank you again.

[@HoustonKeith72]

The privacy berm is looks gorgeous!

[@keoweedesigner5995]

Actually Jenny, overall your gardens are looking great given our weather extremes this Summer. My garden looks exhausted! The plants which were thriving the best this season became breakfast for deer. (I am happy to report my Fairytrail Bride Hydrangea from Creekside is showing lots of new growth following the deer abuse) I have decided the first week of August to do a thorough garden clean up. I will take out all the annuals, cut back shrubs and perrenials, give them some fertilizer and hope for a new flush that will last until our first frost. I think you have taught us well when your garden does not bring you joy to change it! Hopefully your wisdom applied to my garden will result in a gorgeous vision by early Autumn ❤

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

A blinger her today in Indiana then we are going to have some rainy days. Jenny, I have tried some new food Organic Plant Magic on some heavy feeders to see how they will do. I would love a sweet potato vine but they will not grow in 6B. The Niagra Falls Grass is doing great and would like to purchase vertigo grass,love the plum color & shape. Your begonias,lamb's ears,caladiums lantana & salvia are beautiful. Like the sunflowers as well. Sorry about that fire ant mound you hit. Hope your ankle will feel better soon! Take good care!

[@wtillett243]

Wonderful! Stuck in the house because of rain. Love this!

[@deeleo2495]

I just love how you provide updates on your plantings throughout the summer. I have two large containers on my deck (full sun) with Diamond Frost Euphorbia in the back, a Cherry Cordial Surefire Begonia in the center and purple/blue Scaevola in the front. The Euphorbia started taking over early on so I cut it back a bit. I'll admit I was worried this combo wasn't going to work but the past week or so the begonias have really grown and became the star. It now looks exactly how I envisioned. I have some Viking XL Red on Chocolate and Pink on Chocolate planted in containers and they are so beautiful! I also have added caladiums both in containers and in the ground. One of the caladiums has gotten bigger than my astilbe! My Angelonia is thriving as well. We actually moved some into a new location a few weeks ago and it did not really miss a beat. I really like how those annuals do not require alot of maintenance.

[@evalindell2757]

It is helpful for me even in Sweden. Next Year I will put the annuals that can handle the heat in my green house! I have had a problem to find plants that will thrive in that hot and humid conditions. But now I know 🙏 Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪🇺🇸

[@susanharvey7733]

Good to see the tougher late summer plants. Got to try begonias next year!👍

[@rebeccawoods4488]

What beautiful gardens, Jenny! And I love your attitude! 😊Yes, the lantana is a rockstar for us, too, in VA, though it started really slowly like you were describing. Last year we had a begonia in a large container near the front door, and it was absolutely spectacular. Next year, we might plant them in mass like you did. So beautiful!

[@janettefisher256]

Luv the pink begonias, so pretty 💕💚🏡

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jenny. 🌺💚🙃

[@theresaburg5881]

Wow what a difference 3 months makes. I looked back at your video (transforming a boring space-because not sure if I can add a link to your video where you planted everything) to remind myself of what it looked like. WOW.

[@socorromolina-sm9vy]

Jenny the caladiums & sweet potato vine are enormous & beautiful!🤩 😍 Those 2are my favorites!😊 poor dear, i feel your pain about 🔥 ants! I was attacked once in Puerto Rico & i almost died😢

[@denisefaust1290]

I love how you planted the berm this year. Everything is gorgeous!

[@laurelcomeaux4723]

Loving that berm bed!

[@user-Lauriloveslife]

Your begonia's are so huge and beautiful , also Your caladiiums are beautiful too, one of my favorites!!

[@englandlane]

I love Mexican Wedding Cookies for Christmas, also known as so many other names. My mother used to make them each Christmas. 6, 8

[@shirleyvastine9328]

My first year growing begonias, Double Up Red, and it with not be the last! Mine are in pots and are so full and barely need care. They sometimes need water, even after rain, because they're so full the water can hardly get in the pot!!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Jenny ☕️Those climbing sweet potato vines are incredible and look fantastic! I wish those grasses we’re perennials😉 Up here in Boston, we too have the bunnies 🐰 and a lot of them this year. Cute but so destructive! Garden beds are looking great. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶

[@brookemontes3816]

Thank you for your recent mentioning of just working on your soil rather than fertilizing. I love it! Also, just last night for fun I was documenting my high performers for my garden this year as far as annuals and ones I have given more than one chance in different locations that I should probably rethink. Also figuring out now where the best place to source them! Beacon impatients surprisingly are thriving and so inexpensive! White impatients in a shady area is magnificent!

[@jennifershray4962]

It's Lemon Tart and I love it. I have 2 single plants in the ground and the look the same as 3 closing planted lantana together.

[@pcrice-lr2dn]

Thank you Jenny……for being Real and Honest…..and if don’t work out it goes.I think we are all tired,we have had less than inch of rain in 2 months,I am tired of watering,fertilizer and fighting rabbits,and this week a ground hog came to visit,neither I had had to battle with before, the ground hog favorite thing was pink cashmere and okra I had a lot of the verbena 😢😢😢 People may hate me but I AM SO READY FOR FALL these over 90 degrees,humidity,and creatures are my last nerve,I need all to give me all the Grace by the dump truck 🌿🍃

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

I love all your annual plants they are so gorgeous!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you so much!

[@lisahostetler7053]

I hear you on those awful fire ants! Southerner here as well. Try a bit of lavender essential oil on those bites, it's amazing! I discovered this and use it for my kiddos. It stops the pain and they disappear by the next day.

[@suekuly4723]

I always learn something from your videos. Thank you so much. The privacy berm is so pretty this year. Nailed it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@OakParkGardener]

OK I need those double up begonias in my life. They're going on next year's wish list now. Thanks for showing us how they're doing.

[@socorromolina-sm9vy]

If they're not performing then they're getting evicted! Love the humor😂 its one of the reasons i enjoy your channel!!😄

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you❣️

[@jennsmith4832]

Good morning Jenny, I usually watch on tv so don't get to leave comments, just want to say how pretty you looked for your special event evening. Are your guest all nursery owners or do any back yard gardeners get to go? Thank you

[@peggy-sue-60]

Love the frogs on your front porch

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

They were a Christmas present from my mama ❤️

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

Looking at this video i will be changing some annuals for next year!thanks Jenny for all of your input on this!

[@Rita70.]

Yep, I planted 10 PW Lucious Pinkberry Blend Lantanas in May and they sat and sat and saaaaat until about a week ago and they are finally starting to jump up. No idea why they were so late this year. Arkansas 7a.

[@kristinaNC]

Oh wow...the angelonia REALLY benefitted from the cutback and alllll this rain we've been getting.

[@LindaGoDawgsGA]

Yes, all my flowers need sun, they are lack luster waiting on the sunshine.

[@juliabinford6500]

Those petunias didn’t look bad on the video, lol! For ant or mosquito bites, hydrocolloid patches (like mighty patch) are so soothing. They keep down itch, and help it heal without you unconsciously scratching them. The ones for acne are just fine and they even come in larger rectangles. They don’t have medicine in them, it just soothes. I heard this from a dermatologist on KZbin, I tried it, and now I tell everyone:)

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Jenny🌺 . Your garden looks stunning with these pretty flowers and you arranged them beautifully in ground and in the containers . Jenny why you dont't add bougainvilleas to you garden , you have space and the view of them is amazing . Have a fantastic day .🌺🌻🌺

[@nancylafferty8362]

Very helpful thank you!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You're welcome!

[@jla110661]

Your struggling annuals look better than mine have all year. Insects insects insects

[@tomiarocci4328]

I think Jenny got a cold from the air plane.✈️

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You’re correct - but I got it from Jerry the day before we left for Michigan 🤨

[@karenpentz4160]

The rabbits have decimated my diamond frost, blue my mind evolvulus, and pentas. Down to nubs. They are now working on my Pink Chablis Lamium. This has been an awful rabbit year here in Winston Salem

[@rebeccanisley8709]

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Our GSD apparently is no threat to our rabbits as their population is continuing to grow 🤨

[@matttandy]

Hello! We’re in NC too, what kind of lawn grass do you have?

[@NonnieTD]

What kind of Lambs Ear is planted by the Double Up Pink Begonias? They and the begonias are beautiful! Thank you for the information.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It is Stachys Helen Von Stein

[@melaniewhittington7857]

Thank you all this information. I have a question about the black fungus or whatever on my crepe myrtle. It is awful. I live in central Ms. Any suggestions as to what to spray?

[@pinktiptoes7491]

How do you keep the deer out? My sweet potatoes vines and hydrangeas are chewed up!

[@carolbiggs4693]

My Lantana is just getting going ? I’m in Georgia everything this year has been a struggle. High heat no rain till now & it’s raining every day for weeks 🤪

[@cindycole9910]

How do you get rid of the fire ants?

[@figaro19781025]

What’s the name of the pink butterfly bushes next to the sunflowers?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

The big one is a Pink Cascade II 💗

[@robinbirdd3]

What way does your front porch face? Ty ahead of time. I'm from Dallas -ft. Worth Texas zone 8a/b

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Almost perfectly Northwest - the front gets about 3 hours of late afternoon sun.

[@Gardenmimi1950]

So sorry about the fire ants

[@cynthiaborden4209]

Lol, Summer isn't over until September 21st😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Don’t remind me 🥵. Hurry up fall!!!!

[@evalindell2757]

Is caladiums anuals? I thought they were perennials but can’t handle frost and cold weather?? 🤔

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Unless you live in South Florida, they are annuals.

[@evalindell2757]

@@GardeningwithCreekside Though I recognized them! I had them here in Sweden for many years in pots. Brought in the pots when it got colder and stored them, pots and all, indoor for winter. But the year we moved to a new place I got ill and all my tender plants got frosted when the elektricity didn’t work in the guest house, the storage place, one night with low temperatures. Now when I have seen the ones you have I want to have them again. Thank You for answering 🙏 Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@donnaleekarlson7015]

Fire ants are awful. A bunch of them climb on you and then one shouts BITE and they all attack at once. You can't get them all off quick enough!

[@dorindajenkins7825]

I agree if it looks 🙃out they go!, May I say you need more diversity ! You sound tired take a break for your! Jerry needs to spoil you asap!
