Perennials 2 | Companion Planting | Q&A: Garden Home Vlog (2019) 4K

[@mamabear9509]

I really love this video because I have hard clay soil, zone 9 so, it gets very hot Southern California). Currently planting a steep hillside that's approximately 400sq ft. This video has been invaluable as I REALLY don't want to grow ground cover in this area. Thank you for reminding me that I can use some of the perennials in your example - keep the butterflies and hummingbirds visiting my backyard!

[@MissDeb-jq6nz]

Oh, you must mean a slope! That is so cool! You can terrace it a bit and plant grapes at the top, and certain kind of roses below, so beautiful!

[@jillspady6450]

Im So CA too. Bearded iris, buddleia. Lavender and the small rose Drift kind do fabulous! We added 2 mimosa trees for dappled shade on the big slope. The plants and wildlife flock there daily.

[@mamabear9509]

@@MissDeb-jq6nz it IS a slope -thank you 😊. So far I have a mess due to my indecision and "garden trials" This area gets blasted with full sun. So far, drift red roses and butterfly bush are my top faves. I'm removing everything else as it looks too chaotic. Thanks for the comment.

[@mamabear9509]

@@jillspady6450 your idea is wonderful. I already had the spreading red roses on the slope. Also, I recently planted a butterfly bush and the two together look AMAZING Those two jewel tones are incredible together! Perhaps I will try lavender, rosemary and roses out front. I don't know much about Iris plants, but willing to learn as long as I get visits from colorful pollinators! Thank you for sharing your garden ideas with me.

[@jillspady6450]

@@mamabear9509 find an iris group near you. They are sooooo easy. Plant them shallow, backs in the sun, don't over water, divide every 4 to 5 years. And be sure to watch for early, mid and late bloomers to have spectacular beauty for up to 2 months, then it's time for the roses. And don't forget salvia! And gladiolas! Salvia is wonderful. Hummers, bees, long color. Can't beat them!

[@gardener5857]

I love that P. Allen Smith has always been vocal about being organic. If only we could get commercial landscapers to do the same.

[@wapartist]

Thriller, filler, spiller is the greatest thing I’ve heard in years!

[@MDkid1]

He has an excellent turn of phrase.

[@tinaknutsen]

And to prune out the 3 D’s Dead, Damaged and Diseased. Also he didn’t mention but you want to prune out any branches that cross and rub against each other or inward towards the center; usually trees and shrubs.

[@scottydogism]

My Nanny had a Lantana in her front yard, she cut it back every year, because it came back on new wood. She had it for over 50 years old. It was huge and just gorgeous. Pink orange,yellows.

[@kittywoo8453]

I love this guy! Today was my first time I saw his vlog and I don't watch pbs except when Downton Abbey was on, but I will absolutely watch this fella! I learned more about gardens, both flower and vegetables gardens today then in years. He is easy to understand and his voice is easy on the ears!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

We need more Q&A shows P Allen! Loved this show and always love perennials!

[@SuperOhsarah]

you are such a good teacher. Thank you for using your gift to teach us!

[@mlstar1695]

CARLOS SANTANA IS A LIVING LEGEND !!! HE IS THE GREATEST MAN ON EARTH !!! I LISTEN TO HIM EVERY NIGHT I WORK !

[@BlissfulKitchen]

Your videos are some of the best on KZbin 😁 Always informative with wonderful doses of comedy, thank you P. Allen Smith. Subscriber watching from Derby, UK.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Another valuable video packed with useful information delivered with personality and humor. Thanks P. Allen Smith

[@kathystewart6091]

My daylilies and Sylvia's came back every year in Northern Illinois.

[@dellahayden4705]

I love little STELLA!!! I have them everywhere in my gardens...

[@dahlialady4131]

Me too, i just divided my Daylily and planted in 3 spots in the garden.

[@kathycondello75]

Hi from Winnipeg Canada! Zone 3 here🥶 my Salvia comes back every year. Mulched with a bit of compost , watered before freeze up in mid October , then fine bark mulch. I grow those lovely Lilies too. We get snow usually at the end of October so evergreens are important for winter interest.

[@serenababy6358]

"...and you can see that I've absolutely lost my mind and have planted them everywhere" lol!!!!! I can 100% relate. I have a small yard in Fruita, CO and ive got the neighbors wondering about my sanity. They jokingly ask what im going to plant next 😅

[@stevebrucken1944]

Here's an idea for a companion plants, I planted two Don Juan roses this will be their second year this coming spring, I have morning glories that I planted under the trellis as well they are white I think the white and red contrast will look awesome and I realize that morning glories can be an invasive plant but I will harvest the seeds before they fall , have a good gardening spring next year!

[@sureshpatel3225]

You are the most knowledgeable man

[@EMSpdx]

Hello! I remember watching P Allen Smith on PBS as a little girl with my mom as she transformed our backyard in Brooklyn. Now I am watching these shows in quarantine on YT as I transform my side yard and back yard ! Thank you for this wonderful advice on perrenials! Love from Portland OR!

[@31alaana]

Love this when he said most of the plants are killed by OVER LOVE!

[@rorohiker882]

I am a new gardener and I’m learning so much. You touched on something that I have just figured out. In some parts of the country perennials can be annuals. I think I’m in one of those areas in zone 7A. So many flowers and plants just come back every year.

[@BonnieBlue2A]

Rosanna Rosanna Lantana 🤣🤣🤣. You are dating yourself Allen. I hope I can make a trip back to Moss Mountain this year. Your gardens are so beautiful and they by far beat my local botanical gardens. Trumpet vine is considered a noxious invasive plant in my area but the ruby throated hummingbirds love them and may have co-evolved in the Midwest with the trumpet vine and its range.

[@conversecone9687]

We live in central SC and discovered the cigar plant last summer. As you said the hummingbirds love it! For the winter the man who helps us in the yard removed it from the pot and "buried" it about 3 or 4 inches beneath the surface of the ground. I rescued it in early Spring and guess what, it survived and is growing beautifully back in the large pot!

[@SometimeAgo65]

Man!! I just want that house and all of those flowers..Omg so beautiful!! 💗💗💗

[@shealafredrick4122]

No love for flower snobs. That snobbery usually covers many topics.lol....you rock P

[@susieq8008]

I love my beautiful lantana...comes back every year in a rounded corner of my flower bed...gorgeous every single time...butterflies love it.

[@row1landr]

My mother said that when she was little, she heard the ladies call the pink and yellow lantana, ham and eggs....😁 I love lantana!!! And, I love you and your videos!!!!

[@DianaPrince-m3j]

lolol Rosanna-rosanna lantana ! I love it!! Here in southern arizona Lantana is like honeysuckle back east. Its got its own agenda and will grow regardless of what you do. I have sadly found a way to kill it thought... watering toooooo much. Having got it right with my 3rd plant this time, I have that gorgeous pink/lemon species in a 20 inch clay pot that will dry out faster than the plastic ones, and it has done very well. Thank you for this video Allen !

[@LibertyScott-x6i]

Love salvias with zinnia and lantanas. Will have to find the hummingbird plant. Lavender! Love your videos.

[@Tara-sf7uu]

My momma used to say that "A weed is only a weed if you don't want it in your flower bed! If you do want it,well then, its a strong grower or easy to grow or very hardy perenial!"

[@Neldidellavittoria]

Excellent video, full of great advice. Another plant attractive for hummingbirds is sweet peas; they keep coming every day. If I may add a tip for growing lavender in a humid climate, if you want to have them in the ground, plant them in a mound, so that water drains easily and the roots don't stagnate.

[@PAllenSmith]

Great tip!

[@NinaGail]

Buttermilk for soaking seeds! Who knew!

[@barbpoage4935]

Please keep your VLOGs coming! This one is so timely for me. Received my lavender from GHW yesterday and I'm planting them today. Going to try them in ground in a dry area. Lantana does beautifully for me and is worth replanting it each year since it's not hardy to my zone. And love, love, love the sun coleus. They performed great last year. Best quote, "I don't know if I'd look this good if I went through the winter outside." LOL

[@christinasgarden3304]

I love perennials and volunteer in the perennial garden of our local botanic garden. I am keeping an eye on my in-ground, yellow lantana because I am not sure if it survived the snow and freeze of 2021 in North Texas. I also had purple lantana in a pot, which I lost.

[@PK-bh1ww]

There are some salvia that are perenial i the N zone 5. where it can get 20 below for wks. . I can't name them off the top of my head. But I have one that came back this yr..

[@mayhampson4896]

Hello, love your videos , I look at your videos in Bristol England UK.have enjoyed gardening for years , Plant anything in my garden , as I love plants, am lucky growing most plants, my garden makes me feel happy and free.getting difficult but will continue for as long as I can eighty six years .Wish I had this Lovey hobby years. ago.yours Edna

[@Lulu-ue2lj]

Awesome video. I truly like all the information and inspiration coming from PAS. I would love to see a longer video on a topic because you are one of the best. Thank you.

[@kidkerouac]

Don't know if it'd be possible, but would love a video about flower garden design/layout. Have a new house and flower beds and would love to know what considerations go into plant choice and placement. Either way, thanks for all the videos and knowledge :)

[@nalandarobson4493]

Jeri Landers The Storybook 'Creating a Cut flower garden' goes into a bit of detail in garden bed design. Would love to see more of planting schemes too.

[@jolyndaj]

I think this is the part of P. Allen Smith I like best. I love the companion planting ideas. Thank you for this informative video. 🌿

[@karenknecht5217]

I love watching your shows... they could be longer and that would be great!! I watch different shows and I think yours is my favorite! I’ve learned a lot!! Thank you!

[@beverlysmithciszkowski5037]

It's the best explaining of plants, I am in Zone 5 and have a lot of deer crossing thru my yard and munching

[@row1landr]

I love your "rants"!!! I'm in Va. now, but grew up in Louisiana. Down south, Lantana is a perennial and can grow into a huge shrub. Definitely not a weed. My mother used to call them ham and eggs plants.

[@No-Joking]

I love daylilies. Never seen a double form before and they will definitely feature in my garden. As for zinnias, they are super pretty. Grew them last year and will always grow them now.

[@rafa106900]

I am learning so much about perennials and color contrast. Thanks!

[@mentabil8]

I really like your attitude about experimentation. I never snub growing anything, I'm just cautious. Living in zone 6, I guess I've let myself be too careful; because I hate to see a plant struggle to death. I have been successful with plants that were recommended for warmer zones, and they've flourished. You've inspired me to be more experimental. How I miss living in the south, all the same!

[@boomersoutdoors8898]

Love all your videos! I’ve learned soooo much about gardening! Thank you!

[@ncflowergirl1446]

Oh my! Thank you! I was looking for something to go with my peachies pick stokes aster and I have two Miss Huff waiting to be planted somewhere. 😍 Perfect Thank You! Also for helping me in my duh phase with my hydrangea that rarely blooms.

This was great. I am trying to learn how to plant my first perennial garden and found your show. I can’t wait to tell all my friends about your show and to watch more. Thank you.

[@PAllenSmith]

Patrcia White yes! Please do. We did a multi-part series on perennials one my Vlog. We’re also sponsored by one of the largest growers of perennials www.gilberthwild.com. Go check them out. They always have great deals running.

[@wingingitsemiretiredlife2981]

Thank you! A very informative video. I love all flowers. I love perennial and annual combinations. I'm like a kid in a candy store come spring. I have so many ideas and you are right you never know until you try. Last year I planted marigold seeds in some cobalt blue containers in July ...I know very late but my idea was to have a display come fall and it worked! It was a beautiful combo the blue of the pot and the orange of the marigolds, although there weren't as big as the ones I had planted earlier they were still a beautiful display come fall.

[@TonyaD_]

I’m going to. Plant those around my little fountain

[@blueskies6475]

You are right! I love my plants to death! Never had an indoor plant!

[@maxinemcclurd1288]

I've enjoyed this video so much.I'm in zone 7 and plant only perennials that are tough.To my delight my pineapple saliva has made a come back! My heirloom southern roses are blooming and to my great shock my David Austin English rose is starting to bloom(I did a ton of amendment to the soil and am giving it partial shade)and my bare root trumpet vine is alive!My hummingbirds will be so happy as well as I.I have taken the attitude that only plants happy here in the southern Appalachians with our difficult clay soil will be in my garden.

[@jillspady6450]

A tip i use for my 60 Austins.... do a deep water for amazing results. Put the tip of the hose at the base of the bush. Turn it on, barely a trickle, where you can almost not tell waters coming out. Now leave the hose there and on For at least a day, 2 is better. Move to the next rose. The waters directs their roots deeper where it's cooler and the water is. Ive given this advice to my rose grower neighbors. You'll be amazed!

[@patricianunez4025]

All this time I thought you were in England 😂 Loved seeing over views of your fabulous property. I'm in southern Indiana and building my number of perrenials in my organic, no dig, cottage garden that has no grass to mow any more. Love your program ❤️💕💗 Ms Pat

I live in NY. near the Great Lakes and I have many Peonies and never thought about areas that can't grow them. I planted mine 14 years ago and would not move south and leave them behind. However I understand how others might feel about their area not being suitable for them, since I want Crape Myrtles but it is a bit too cold for them here. By the way, I just subscribed.
