My Top Annuals for 2025 and Special Announcement!

[@kelleywright486]

Ok. Who remembers looking through the Sears & Roebuck Christmas Wish Book as a kid and circling all the great toys you wanted? I have a feeling that looking at the Creekside website tomorrow will be the grown up version of that! 😄🎄🌺 As far as other lists, I would like to hear more recommendations for shade annuals.

[@mariay.279]

Feels like giving myself n my cousin gifts. Helping her with her garden, so buying for both.

[@GardeningwithJenny]

Topics: Hi Jenny! Would you cover a series of annuals that do well in sun to part shade so I can plan my front garden? Also if you would do a container garden that covers those lighting conditions that would be great. Also my first hydrangea I purchased was from you. Your shipping was amazing and the packaging allowed it to be delivered in prime condition! I look forward to ordering from you all again. Thank you Creekside Crew! ❤️😁

[@peggyriordan9857]

I would like to see shrubs and perennials for shade areas. These new annuals look fantastic!

[@HoustonKeith72]

Very fun video! I have new beds so looking forward to trying some of these next spring. I have roses that got eaten up by thrips this year. So frustrating. So I have a strong interest in plants that bring the good predator bugs like ladybugs, lacewings, and pirate bugs.

[@ARome-po9rd]

Agree, that would be very helpful and appreciated.

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

Annuals focusing on rabbit and deer! And, MOLES AND VOLES, UGH!

[@mavisjones4750]

Decisions, decisions for next year. I usually line the sidewalk from the driveway to the front door with Supertunia Jazzberry, but due to fixing some drainage issues from the downspouts, I now don't have as much planting space in that bed. So now trying to come up with a new look. Leaning toward doing the Tiara Pink combined with the Mini Me Chartreuse just to have a different look.

[@Tracymw99]

5:53 can the mini me chartreuse take hot west sun. I am assuming not since it’s shade or sun and I am in Oklahoma where it can get over 100 like where you live.

[@mariay.279]

Most excited over the drought tolerant / no fertilzing sun/ shade flowering kinds.

[@growwell8872]

Would love a video on tropical annuals used for high impact in both containers and beds!!

[@juliabinford6500]

Choices, choices… supertunias, sunpatiens, and begonias will be my top picks. That mini chartreuse coleus is calling my name. I have been so pleased with my Creekside annuals this year.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Mini Me Chartreuse is such a fantastic plant! We are so pleased to hear that your Creekside plants have done well for you this season ❤️

[@neldahargo5933]

i still appreciate the drone footage. don't know how much snow you receive but that would be a lovely image, too.

[@LNorris2001]

I would love to see a video on how to plan a monarch/butterfly bed ☺️

[@HeatherLeininger]

I finally planted the pink and purple annual salvias and they’re still going! I only have three pink salvias along the border of a bed and they basically filled in a whole 9 foot span. It’s worth a repeat next year for sure.

[@HeatherLeininger]

And the wicked witch coleus is a huge hit on the back deck boxes. Literally the only downside is that one plant kind of took over the 20” container. I either need to plant just that and underplant the pots with smaller containers or pinch the coleus back more than twice.

[@sharonbrunotte3972]

So excited!! As much as I would love all of the sun loving flowers, I have mostly full shade areas!! Is there a hydrangea that loves mostly shade?😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Absolutely! Most of your macrophylla hydrangeas prefer shadier conditions. Let’s Dance Blue Jangles is a personal favorite gardeningwithcreekside.com/products/lets-dance-blue-jangles-reblooming-hydrangea

[@basildestiny]

I am ready to place mine! I have too many saved to cart. 😅 But my garden and my mom’s gardens were amazing based on your recommendations. ❤

[@atticinspiredcrafter1238]

Love this review! I live in zone 5 east coast Nova Scotia Canada. Would love to hear the zoning on what you share. Awesome review!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

So glad you enjoyed it! All of the plants in this video are annuals so everyone can enjoy them. We recommend waiting until after your last frost date before adding them to your garden ☺️

[@lisakemmer6813]

I would love to see some videos on annuals that can be overwintered.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Fantastic. Great suggestions.

[@BloomCatBloom]

Definitely excited for that Dahlia 😍

[@reneeswallow2023]

So excited for gardening next year!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Me too!!

[@eileenchang2173]

I needed this dose of hope, that spring is around the corner! 🤣 My list is already long ! 🥰🇨🇦

[@andrewmiadavila6342]

You're amazing! I could listen to you all day... and I have on some occasions. Even my husband will get excited at times and dreams with me. Thank you for helping us dream together.

[@cece_marie]

Most excited for the Aromagica+Chartreuse coleus combo!✨ The hype is real! 🤩

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Same here! That combo will certainly have to make an appearance next year!

[@saralee848]

Flowering annuals for shade please!!

[@mrs.m4702]

Hi, Jenny❤. Thank you ready, set, go! Thanks, Jenny.

[@jaleinegreen7411]

Seeing all these gorgeous choices makes me feel like I’m a kid in a candy store!🌺🌸🌺

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You're not the only one!

[@JohnandNancyTselepis]

Wonderful ! A breath of spring in the deep fall. Thks.folks 👍

[@CynLynRin]

What plants give you a lot of flower power without needing much root space? When our deck was rebuilt, my only container option for my 'kitchen sink view' was a saddle-style rail planter from Gardner's Supply. They are quite shallow. Petunia work, but I don't love the sticky mess on my deck. This year, Lucious Citron Lantana was miserable until I moved it to a larger pot. Is there anything that can give height without needing much root space. Full sun, Zone 8a,

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

So exciting can't wait! More on shade gardens please!

[@melaniewhittington7857]

I would love information on tropical annuals for around a pool and then deer resistance annuals outside the fence. Thank you for all your beautiful information.

[@nancypatterson374]

So many beautiful choices, thank you Jenny! Happy Saturday ❤

[@donnacreekmore3699]

Thanks for the information about the plants. Love the drone footage!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Our pleasure!

[@r.trinkl4130]

Hello, could you please give recommandations on plants that are able to thrive on top of inground natural water lines (going to a well). I try for years to find plants for pots that don't care about that water line. Only morning glory and thunbergia look good so far. Thank you, your help is appreciated!!

[@SallysGardenSolutions]

Great stuff as always! 🌱

[@lisakallunki5042]

I decided for this last spring that I was going to spend the extra money to buy proven winners annuals instead of just regular annuals at my nursery. I was astounded at how well they performed! One plant gave me the growth of three regular plants! I am excited to try the Tiara pink next year

[@kellycornett6219]

Hooray! ❤❤😂😂😂😂. Had such good success with my plants this past spring from you. I’ve decided to return this year for my pre order. List is almost complete.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Wonderful! Thank you for supporting Creekside❣️

[@AlexandraKozub-tp7fe]

Thank you

[@DogWoodsFlowerFarm]

I would love a topic on plants that can tolerate the humidity, here in north Texas zone 8a

[@WSK9778]

Sure fire red are my favourite’s!

[@michaelmalone8742]

I was distracted by the pond in the background behind you. 🤣 I was imagining possibilities for the pond garden!!

[@mariay.279]

I wd like to see how you choose drips variations on the plants.

[@franbernhards7844]

I did this last year and it was fantastic!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you❣️

[@ellywitmer1584]

Wowwww I'm planning for my pots in the front, the backyard garden, it's so hard to puck 😊

[@nanminish8032]

Please cover shade perennial and annuals. Thank you.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Noted! There are some GORGEOUS options!

[@garysimon8359]

Hi Jenny! Mini me chartreuse coleus looks just like Ball Flora’s salsa verde coleus that I’ve been using in my pots for the last 2 summers. Is it more yellow, or is it developed by the same breeder/sharing genetics across brands? Either way they are both really colorful.

[@carolynschwartz3846]

I really want a vigorous cut flower garden but while I get sun, it’s really only 3-4 hours, then it’s dappled. I’d love to hear about cut flowers that would do well in that situation. I’m in zone 9a - central Texas. Thanks!

[@karenbarnes5517]

Hi 👋 Jenny

[@tammytimms7044]

Could someone post a picture of what the annuals look like when you get them? Just wondering about the size since they are in 4” containers.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Here are two videos that you can see what the space looked like when I planted it, and then what it looked like in the middle of the summer. Planting -kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqGch52narGeoa8si=kAoz7oG-5BmhXDOy Summer -kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIfZlnive8-poposi=1zm05hJl3Z7bglY4

[@AMFM_918]

Love the quiz at the end 😂

[@tinam9844]

Let's talk about flowering annuals that like more shade than 🌞

[@TammyGowdy]

Flowers that are rabbit resistant. Rabbits destroyed my hostas , pansies, and asters this year. 😢

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Fun & exciting.

[@pansyface00]

If I start putting plants in my cart on Sat will those plants still be in my cart on Sunday when the new intros appear on your website?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

All the inventory should be done in a few minutes, you can actually checkout today if the plants are in your cart

[@gaylagenecarder4343]

I’ve got a question about a plant that you put in the Sugnature Garden this year. Proud Berry Coral Berry. Did it work for you? I have always loved it and would love to add it to my zone 8a garden

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It's hanging in there! I wouldn't say it is "thriving", but it is growing. I hope to see lots of positive growth this coming year.

[@mariebretton3026]

Jazz Berry was a dud in my zone 6 in Kansas

[@lindahughes530]

❤️

[@AlexandraKozub-tp7fe]

I’m in Windsor Ontario cda

[@pansyface00]

You have a place that looks like rabbits and deer would be a big problem. Loved the annuals you talked about in this video but you didn’t mention deer or rabbit resistant.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

While we have deer that travel through the property they do not bother our plants. This is the first year I have had an issue with rabbits in 2 gardens at the house. While I did not focus on all of the plants' attributes in this video (that wasn't the main focus for today), we have covered pest resistant plants in the past. Perhaps we will revisit that topic in an upcoming video!

[@pansyface00]

@ great video. I’m making an order now. Buying most of the plants you mentioned. Do I have to wait til Sunday?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

@ don’t tell anyone but they are available now for pre-order 😉

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

I’m unsure why but I don’t get free shipping

[@jeaniemcdaris8276]

❤

[@cherylkaywood5868]

Please share plants that deer do not like. Unfortunately, the deer population is increasing and they are now consuming plants that they have previously left alone😢

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Have had a similar experience here in zone 7b. Started two years ago to remove many plants they had not touched in 15 years. Here are some that worked for me. Double Doozie Spirea, Pugster Blue butterfly bush, lantana (there is a pink perennial that grows about 4 x 3 here in zone 7b), allium, serendipity is great, but others are equally resistant, mountain mint, and dahlias for color are mostly reliable for not getting eaten. They won’t eat fern, or pachysandra. I also put in pancake arborvitae, a low growing evergreen which they don’t touch either. Another good one is Florida Sunshine which is made in a standard and dwarf. Gorgeous color year round. Iris survives as does any form of catmint. Walker’s low is 3 x 3, reliably but there are lots of other varieties now. Digging out beautiful healthy plants has been expensive and heartbreaking. But, not having to spray or cover, and not having them eaten is well worth it.

[@cherylkaywood5868]

@ Thank You!

[@karenkrebs4535]

Can you do an annuals that are drought tolerant and bug resistant… it’s costly to buy flowers and have to spend so much money on bug killers…. Thank you!
