Perennials I'm Adding to the Garden in 2024 (Proven Winners) | The Southerner's Northern Garden

[@gailcarter7855]

Hi Matt, I am your sort of neighbor, I live in Kettering. I planted sweet romance lavender two years ago and they are amazing! Look forward to seeing your progress on your new home.

[@Mymar5]

You are so methodical and I love it. It’s been really fun to watch you build your gardens in your new home. Love to see your sweet Margo.

[@helenparsons6533]

I love your plant choices! Your pretty little puppy is so sweet!

[@dovinhgardenfarm]

Đẹp quá, khu vườn mơ ước của nhiều người.

[@marysmith9361]

That computer image is gorgeous! I love pastels in the garden. Can't wait to see it finished. Your girls are cuties, are they sisters? Down here in Ga, the weather is freezing cold with temps in the 20's. Feels like I'm back in New England!

[@SouthernersGarden]

They’re full sisters from separate litters. :)

[@kshields273]

Thank you for showing the name of the plant along with the photo of the plant. That makes it easy for me to take a screenshot of the plants I like!

[@erikas974]

Mathew I only hope I can have some or similar plants here in Australia. I am slowly doing up my garden and my dream to have lots if colours and blooming something all the time. That is my goal. Thank you for all the photoes and names I did a screen dump so I can go to the local nursery and find them. 👍😊🫂🐨🦘

[@tracytracyWM]

I love this Photoshop landscape planning. I wish proven winners had an app that did this and linked to the plant/care specs.

[@SouthernersGarden]

They actually have a lot of great design items on their website to provide plant pairing, plant recommendations, etc based on colors you select as well as types of plants that may fit your growing conditions. I just go a bit beyond that. Maybe I’ll do a video on Proven Winners design options on their website because some of them are buried.

[@jomassey4207]

Yarrow can be divided easily. I have lilac and white yarrow and it looks pretty around roses or any perenial flowers. Also white swan echinacea is a lovely white perenial which is drought tolerant and again, it can be divided and grows very upright and smart. Have you thought about any ground covers to suppress weeds? I use alot of lamium, blue flowering ajuga and port wine (dusky pink and deeper pink coloured leaves). They are great under roses to supress weeds and retain water. Loving your choices so far....so much to look forward to. Exciting to plan and watch.

[@lisajelle714]

Enjoyed hearing about your planned plantings very much! You do a great job of interspersing pictures of the plants, giving the basic info, and your personal experiences with the plants. And Margo is a total sweetie! Looking forward to seeing your garden vision come to fruition in the coming months!

[@lindajarvis4919]

Good choice of flowers. I’m partial to peach. Cute doggy.

[@heathers1677]

LOL I thought I was the only one who designed garden beds this way. Looks great!

[@LuckyEucalyptusTree-]

Lovely 🌹

[@sydneykasmar]

Really enjoyed you sharing the perennials your adding to your garden this year. Great information on their growing needs.

[@elizabethwalters8790]

Thank you for another great video… Mathew. So informative…need to shop …again!!!! Also, a big THANK YOU for the Heirloom coupon ☺️🌹 Can’t wait to see the progression of your new garden in 24 and over future years 💚💚💚

[@elizabethwalters8790]

Just purchased burgundy iceberg from heirloom…have wanted this for a while….your coupon made it happen…. THANK YOU for a great gift this weekend ☺️👍🌹💚

[@yolandiels]

Thank you for this! Plant names, pictures and all the information. I just love your videos, style of planting and the pace at which you explain things. It's a joy to watch and greatly appreciated. 🌿💚🌿💚🌿

[@HoosierDaddy_]

Yes. These kind of videos kill the winter blues! I'm in Indy so I'm dealing with this super cold thing right now. You have very good similar taste in these plants. Very good design!

[@asianangie7209]

Loved the video!!! Your chair looks beautiful and very comfy. Puppy has a sweet face!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Matthew! Your choice of plants are awesome. It was fun seeing Margo, too. I'm looking forward to seeing your other plans, and then the planting this Spring. Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you for the code for Heirloom Roses!

[@jugnoothelight8662]

nice video thanks for sharing

[@camicri4263]

Hi Mathew, good to see you! Absolutely love the flowers that you are planing to grow! Margo is so good! Blessings!

[@sherriewellman2421]

Thank you so much. I took lots of notes! Love your beautiful furry friend too!

[@sarahchristine546]

I love daydreaming and planning about the garden with you! Thank you (and Margo) for sharing and bringing us on your journey. I find it particularly interesting to see what you choose bc it’s rare someone gets a complete “redo” on starting a garden.

[@KimatRevAcres]

Thank you great perennial choices adding a few to my garden plans. Margo you’re super cute!

[@paulapeeler3157]

Margo is so cute. This is the first time I've seen your sweet fur baby

[@bonniemontroy4040]

Your excitment for spring is contagious, youv given me so much garden inspiration. By the way I heard you voice doing the ad for heirloom Rose's made me perk up sure enough, it w was you 😊

[@lananicolas160]

Thanks for sharing Margo

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Love this video, Matthew. I have missed your videos! Thanks for the video. Margo is gorgeous! Happy New Year!

[@bettefreddy352]

What a wonderful selection of plants. I dug up 3 garden beds this fall and now you have given me so any choices to add back into these empty spaces. Thank you.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Mathew, as I said you Sir are dangerous to my budget, I wrote down 95% of those plants to add to my garden. 😱🥶❄️🌲💚🙃

[@terrihart2133]

Congratulations on being the ambassador for heirloom Roses. I know your garden will be fabulous. P.S. I am loving me some Margot.❤

[@joannejensen4369]

Great selection 🤗🇨🇦

[@soniasmith6115]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and providing us with your awesome gardening content. Appreciate you!

[@LULC0759]

In SW Ohio we had sub zero weather week of Christmas ‘22…. I thought I would lose much of my newly planted (Oct & Nov) gardens. Thankfully they made it.

[@kathytaylor9798]

Thank you for this video. We are going through a cold spell in western Pennsylvania. I really enjoyed seeing some beautiful plants and working on my shopping list for spring.

[@shirleyvastine9328]

Thank you for the inspiration for Spring, my fingers are frozen as I type this. My non- purple perennial game needs to be amped up this year, and rotation of bloom times. Getting older, with achy body parts, I'm trying to wean of annuals amap. The red huecherrela is now on my list to find, among others here. Thanks for your hard work!!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Awe Margo is beautiful!!! 🥶❄️🌲💚🙃

[@christileach4644]

Sweet Margot girl! Thanks for sharing, Matthew - we’re moving in about a month and I’ve been planning the gardens. This is so helpful to me, and beyond that - I love seeing what gig have planned. ❤ xo

[@barbarabranstetter1784]

I love your plan for the front bed, it’s going to be fabulous!

[@TheRootedPotagerGardener]

Looking forward to watch you build this new garden, and thanks for the heirloom roses coupon! I bought 3 this past summer after hearing you mention them in an earlier video. Very impressed with how they arrived and performed for being babies. One of the climbers, Awakening, grew to about 10 ft. tall and had 3-4 blooms after only being planted in August! It's in a part shade situation which this rose is labeled as shade tolerant. Definitely recommend them!🌹

[@SouthernersGarden]

Wow! That’s so cool! I’ll have to check out that variety.

[@lailafreemansmith3603]

Hey there… do you remember which climber you ordered? I’ve been wanting to try

[@tinaroller1741]

Great choices, Matthew!! Thank you for the inspiration 💚

[@kimberlydavis5960]

Great video. I’m in your same zone but in MA so this is very helpful. Would love to see a video of how you use Illustrator to create your plan.

[@PeggyMills]

Hello, Margo! I love your choices, Matthew. I added back in black sedum and opalescent phlox last year. I’m adding the peach sky yarrow as well this year. Going to try it near my At Last rose. I’m also adding purple rooster monarda, little Joe Joe Pye weed, daisy may daisy, midnight masquerade penstemen, and a few shrubs. You need to check out golden jubilee hyssop for your garden. It’s chartreuse with the purple blooms. Very nice. It does reseed in the garden. I can’t wait to see your garden in the spring.

[@RocksieBaby]

Great video for planning potential perennials for my new garden beds! I’m going to use it as a reference - thank you ☺️

[@patz780]

Seeing your perennial choices for this spring is so inspiring. I need some perennials to fill in spaces in my garden and many of these would be perfect. Thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to watching your garden grow come spring.

[@hollymonte6690]

I have or want most of these. I'm like you with the coral, peachy tones set off by purple. Can't wait to see your new garden develop.

[@JoyfulJerseyGardening]

That Luminary Opalescence Phlox is absolutely amazing!! It was the plant in my southern NJ garden I was most impressed with this past season. Every time I thought it was done blooming, another flush of gorgeous flowers would start. No disease issues! I’m looking forward to following along as your new garden space develops 😍

[@LeahNess-t7o]

Puppy has gotten big.❤❤

[@VirginiaMathews94]

You’ll love Sweet Romance lavender! I have it up my walkway and it’s gorgeous! Thank you for the Heirloom discount, I got the Eden Climbing Rose in my cart❤

[@barbb.9489]

This really helps me to see your vision, thank you. 😊

[@dawndawn6946]

Stunning! Happy new year, Matthew!

[@mygardeninbloom]

Your garden is going to be beautiful! 😊

[@dianeshort8066]

Thank you. I was hoping for seeds.

[@ceciliajones1853]

Great info!! Peach colored flowers are my favorite too!

[@dora59]

Margot is a beauty

[@anncoats4466]

Margo is so cute.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Do you find that the Serendipity alliums hold their heads well over winter? They seem to disintegrate for me where Millenium (sp) holds them pretty reliably until I cut them back in spring.

[@SouthernersGarden]

Hi, Erin! So I went back and looked at some winter footage I had taken last year because I have never thought of alliums to have any type of winter interest in my garden. Mine always looked pretty ratty pretty early and died back quite a bit. I didn’t see any blooms on the Millennium or Serendipity allium where I’m at - even in late December. Maybe yours are much more established than mine and hold their bloom heads a bit better? It would be interesting to know what causes it!

[@adaliblthe9653]

Happy that’s it’s winter now and I have to time to catch up with my favorite KZbinrs! Interesting idea to use photoshop to design your garden. I admire the gardeners who plan… I’m the definition of impulse buy then squish it in somewhere. Im trying to be more intensional tho. Especially in my brothers orchard which I’ve got permission to beautify with flowers.

[@lesliehardin7963]

Matthew, I love your choices! Can’t wait to see your garden in the summer. Are you ordering all of these from Proven Winners online? Also, I’m in central Alabama and just purchased my first Rising Sun Redbud. How does yours fare in the harsh winters of Ohio?

[@peggyriordan9857]

Great show! What kind of Springer Spaniel is Margo? We had American when I was growing up. Margo looked like maybe she was an English? Anyway, she is beautiful and I don't think I have ever seen such a shiny dog coat ever!

[@SouthernersGarden]

Margo and Lilly are both English Springer Spaniels and they do have excellent coats! This has been my first experience with the breed and I’d recommend them for about anyone. They’re so loving and affectionate and good with strangers and children. I’ll have Lilly in my next video, but she’s not quite as lazy as Margo so she may not stick around the whole time. 😂

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Really exciting I cannot wait 🥰

[@juliekelly6313]

I’m a new subscriber who found you on Janie’s channel when you did a tour for her. I now have a list of things to get for next season. Your garden and dog are just beautiful! I’m zone 6b in central Kentucky.

[@SouthernersGarden]

Welcome to the channel! 👋🏻

[@anniewildmush1284]

And here in montreal quebec... ita raining 😢 should be -10 celcius and there almost no snow

[@katherinelarini8514]

Wow! wonderful plant choices... I consider my garden to be the Northerner's Southern Garden since moving from MA to NC four years ago... I do, however, have limited retirement funds, so the going is slow... I need to find an online grower who sells plugs to the retail market... my 7.5 zone seems to fit in nicely with your plant choices... thanks!!!

[@judymckerrow6720]

You sir are very dangerous to my budget. 🥶❄️🌲💚🙃

[@SouthernersGarden]

I’m very dangerous to MY budget. 😂

[@tamibc1686]

I can't believe I have only just found you. Thank you for taking us through your planning process. You have given me lots of inspiration. Getting out in the garden for the first time tomorrow (western Canada) so I now have lots to think about. Hmm... where am I going to put all these plants? Love to you and Margo. Shining brightly.❤

[@lailafreemansmith3603]

Hi!!!! I’m soooooo happy I discovered you!!! I’m originally from TN foot of the Smokey’s now in Ohio Zone 6B… 😊 & trying to develop my greenish thumb!!! 👍🏽

[@SouthernersGarden]

Welcome!

[@SunshineShellz]

Hi Margo❤🐾

[@lindylou3519]

Margo is beautiful!❤

[@vanessam.w.4368]

Hi. I love your garden and have followed you for some time.....since your previous home. 😊 Would you consider adding the number of plants you plant of each variety. I love the fullness and beauty of your space.

[@nadezhdabeljaeva4670]

Спасибо за видео. Марго - красотка !

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

Two of my favorite perennials are daylilies and hardy geraniums. Will you be planting any of these?

[@SouthernersGarden]

I don’t have any plans for daylilies this year, but I’ve ordered some geraniums for 2025 called Perfect Storm and I’ll probably be picking up some varieties locally as well.

[@Lealelan]

Great choices! Excited to see your garden come together Mathew.. Can you share the software you're using to lay out your garden? I've been looking but not very successfully and would love to find something (adding about 1K in new garden space and have a ton of new plants on order - need to layout). Thx for sharing!

[@SouthernersGarden]

I mentioned in the video that I use Adobe Photoshop. It’s not for everyone, but those with a photography background can easily transition to that software for planning.

[@Lealelan]

@@SouthernersGarden So sorry, not sure how I missed that! Thanks for info. You've done a great job in photoshop, laying things out! I'll have to play with it! I've seen some specific gardening software programs which I thought you were using. Can't wait to see your new space come together. It's already so lovely! Envious of all that space!

[@kristinepeterson6761]

Where are you ordering all the PW from? I’m in California and it’s really hard to find PW here.

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

Good morning ... I took notes .... and yours is all going to be beautiful ... I have a question ... Have you ever had an experience with Barberry Sunjoy Neo .. ? ... I have been reading that it draws and / or harbors Ticks ... I am in central Ohio and needing to put a bed together and thought that this plant might work so now I am not sure ... Thanks for any input that you might have ... !!!

[@SouthernersGarden]

I’ve not grown Sunjoy Neo specifically, but I have grown others in that collection. I wouldn’t be terribly concerned of ticks if I was you to add one. I think the tick concern comes from the fact mice can tend to nest in them because it provides protection from all of the thorns against predators and the ticks come from the mice. Neo is one of the smaller varieties, so I think you’d be fine as it wouldn’t provide much protection to any animal. Note Japanese Barberry, like neo, is classified as invasive in some areas but can still be sold in Ohio. Our neighbors next door cannot sell it in Indiana. ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/anr-0106# Proven Winners does have some sterile barberries, like Todo, that would not be considered invasive.

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

Thanks I did check out the info that you left . I am redoing an entrance way to my neighborhood and was considering the Sunjoy because of the color . A few years ago the landscapers that got paid for this job put in Burning bushes every two feet next to a really nice white fence . Yelp just think about that one . I will be removing them all . So the board wanted color in the this area and that is why I was considering Sunjoy . I do now think that I will pass on it . There are so many other plants to work with .

[@dianeshort8066]

Where can I find Cottondale Yarrow please?

[@SouthernersGarden]

You can order it directly from provenwinners.com or Google will point you to several sources, including Garden Crossings which is located near Proven Winners perennial supplier, Walter’s Gardens.

[@heidihumbert184]

I love Margo, what breed or breeds is she?

[@SouthernersGarden]

Margo and Lil are both English Springer Spaniels

[@marycookson4607]

How did you grow a lavender hedge in clay soil? I love lavender but it doesn’t seem to love my clay. Did you make a raised bed for the hedge?

[@SouthernersGarden]

It was planted directly in the ground in a bed that lined my driveway. I have some videos on my channel talking about it and it’s in almost all of my garden tours because it was lovely. I’ve primarily grown the Hidcote variety which performed incredibly well for me in our soil.

[@stacyadams8265]

[@donkeim434]

I do not understand how you can grow dianthus. It throws up an alert to every rabbit in the neighborhood for a feast.

[@SouthernersGarden]

Weird. I had plenty of rabbits in the prior garden with no issues.

[@bevsweet1761]

Heirloom Roses won’t give a discount for Southern 24!

[@SouthernersGarden]

It’s SOUTHERN24. No spaces, all caps. It works. I tried it earlier today.
