Hi Garden friends! Hope you enjoyed this video. Tell me, do you have a favorite from this list? and are you planning on adding any of these these plants this season? When most people think of spring they think of blooming bulbs like daffodils & tulips. I wanted to compose a list of other beautiful plants that will give you spring color if planting bulbs isn't your thing. Can you tell I'm getting really excited for spring? hope you are too! Its almost here friends! Thanks for watching - Steph 🌱

Your garden/yard/home is so beautiful! I loved how you showed the plants in various stages of growth & seasons. There aren't many posts that show these various stages of growth. It's so helpful - especially because each stage is shown in your garden in its actual location & not stock photos. I really enjoyed watching this - it was very helpful & inspiring. Thank you for being so generous! Take care & happy spring! Afellow 6b (now 7a 🤔) gardner. 🤗🙋♀️

Thank you so very much for your kind words Linda! I really appreciate it. It video took me a really long time to put together and edit this video, gathering all my footage etc. It makes me so happy to read that you noticed this was mostly all footage from my garden💚 Yes, my zone 6b has also changed to a 7a. But I'm still going to garden as if I'm in a 6 since our weather here in Massachusetts varies so much and we can experience pretty quick and drastic temp changes. 30 days until spring! Thank you so much for watching, an for your comment. Have a great week! 🥰

I love them all and have several on your list. I bought a chocolate brown Baptisia at Home Depot last year - it was beautiful but when I planted it - it deteriorated quickly - I really don't know why. It wasn't the spot - it was full sun, but maybe too much sun - the foliage got straggly and it just didn't look good.. I have one Astilbe plant that I won't know if it's going to make it until it grows back - it may be in too much sun as well -but still is in the only somewhat shady spot in my yard. I won't have a shade garden for a few years until a few trees grow up. Well - enough of my garden struggles - another season is upon us!!
@HookedandRooted10 ай бұрын
Hi Robyn! Ohh the brown baptisia is beautiful. I'm so sorry yours didn't survive. Sometimes plants are just unhealthy for some reason. It might not have been anything you did. If its still in the ground, its possible it comes back this year? It could have been just a bit of planting shock. Fingers crossed for you! The astilbe that is in more sun, as long as you provide it more water, it should do ok. They prefer more shade, but I have seen some in some sunnier gardens and they seem to do ok. Similar to bleeding hearts. They are listed as a shade/part shade plant, but I have a neighbor who has a giant one in the full sun that looks really happy. Spring is almost here!! woohoo 💚🌱

I planted some scabious "Blue Butterfly" this last year and you are right, it just keeps blooming. I am trying another variety, "Fama" this year. As long as you give bearded iris full sun and good drainage there is no stopping them. My daughter bought a house in Somerville MA and the backyard was paved long ago. Nonetheless, there was some iris foliage pushing up through the cracks, the remnants of some even longer ago garden. We pulled them out in our general weeding process and threw them in a pile. Several days later I said to my daughter, why don't we just try planting these in the new flower bed? Sure enough they have thrived and multiplied and put on a super show in the spring.

We added Doronicum orientale Little Leo in some of our spaces to have flowers that bloom really really early in the spring ---- whether these flowers actually bloom with the tulips I will let you know. These flowers are not huge (but the species, the flowers are larger), and not some gorgeous peachy pink --- but what I do appreciate is its shade tolerance, its early and long bloom time and its semi-evergreen foliage. BTW What we love about amsonia (like String Theory), is that it can be leveraged like a grass, in terms of its wispiness in wind, and that after its stunning fall foliage fades, like a grass it lasts in the garden in terms of structure -- at least through early winter....

Hi Christi, I don't do anything too it. I let the foliage die back, and then I wait until spring. If there's anything to clean up I will then. I've had mine for about 3 years now, and its self seeded a couple of babies. So even if it turns out to be a short lived perennial, I let the seedlings grow so there will be "back up plants". I would say to divide it at year 3 to keep the plant going. Its a beautiful foliage plant, and has such pretty blooms in very early spring. Hope this helps.

Excellent. I just purchased a hellebore in full bloom and believe it came from a greenhouse. I live in mid Michigan now zone 6a...when would be a good time to take it outside and plant? We can get frosts into mid May. I am wanting to establish a hellebore garden. How much sun can these plants take? Do you fertilize your hellebores?
@HookedandRooted10 ай бұрын
Hi there! If the hellebore where in full bloom in zone 6, they likely came from a greenhouse. I'm in zone 6 and mine are still in bud form. I would recommend acclimating them by taking them outside a few hours at a time in a protected location for a couple of weeks and then planting them out once they have been ok outside for a full day. We are so close to spring, I would probably just keep them in a basement or garage where its cooler first, then in a couple weeks start acclimating them so that your planting them out closer to end of March. Hellebore do well planted under deciduous trees or places where they get sun during the late fall and winter months, and then shade in the late spring and summer months. Hope this helps.

When is the best time to plant for Spring- I am located in Kentucky zone 6?
@HookedandRooted10 ай бұрын
Hi there! Once the ground starts to thaw, and the temps get warmer in Spring. If purchased at a nursery where the plants were growing outside, its likely they have been hardened off and can be planted out once the the weather allows. However, most greenhouse grown plants will be ahead of schedule as they are growing in a warm environment. As such, those plants would need to be acclimated/hardened off first. This means just bringing them out into the cold a few hours at a time over the course of a week or two to get them used to outdoor temps before you plant them out in the garden. It will depend greatly on which plants. If you don't see them growing in anyone's garden around you yet, then its too soon to plant them out. Its a bit tough to give a direct answer as its very dependent on the plant and whether your buying a nursery plant/greenhouse plant, or bare root plant etc. Hope this helps 🌱

What are the names of the creeping phlox you have? I specifically am looking for the one you have with your armeria 😍
