This variety is called “Russell Tail”. Beautiful orange with cream accents, really fluffy, can be a bit invasive though (in the best way). 😜

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Pops up unexpectedly

[@dani_miller]

With a "trailing" habit!

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Lol!!! Perfect!

[@sf55514]

Excellent

[@elenita90]

The name of first variety, Sandía means Watermelon in Spanish. The perfect name for pink and green blooms😊

[@thesmallscape]

I did not know that! Very thoughtful of you to share that 🍉🙂

[@garymcdade4446]

I didn't even think of that, and I lived in Spain for over 3 years. Every summer in the tiny town I lived in a little old man always sat on a bench near the beach selling watermelons. They were perfectly round and about the size of a small soccer ball. The outside was a smooth dark green and the inside was deep red and hardly any seeds as if it was all the heart of the melon. He sold it by the slice. It was warm as if it had just been picked from the vine that morning, SO GOOD! I think of him every time I eat watermelon. --Sheila McDade in Chattanooga

[@stefuhfuhmarie]

I came here to say this! I loved that color scheme so much! 🍉

[@lyla.aisle.of.blooms]

I always buy more plants during the heat of Summer because they look so tempting, but then when I get home...I have to plant them. I never seem to remember this when I am grinning like a fool while throwing my money at the cashiers.

[@conniemcquaid8795]

It always amazes me how Laura can remember the names of all these plants and the way she describes them! Such a gift

Makes you wonder if she goes through plant names when calling to her kids. Echinacea, Salvia, Baptisia, Benjamin! 😂

I love how Russel follows you around the garden. He loves being with you 🌼

[@tricianilsson6870]

I love echinacea! I do not deadhead because the finches love the seeds and i enjoy seeing them forage, jumping from flower to flower. I also get clouds of bluebirds on the elderberries. Warms my heart. I must say i watch your videos as soon as i wake up every day. Thank you Laura , i learn much from you.

[@lisathibault4465]

I adore Mr Russell always involved in your tours and videos. What a charmer!

[@aditichakrabarty649]

I loved both Aaron and Laura's reaction about hot red colours in the wooden raised bed container. It was hilarious 🥰

[@deborahmouille1718]

Russell running behind you before the 3-minute mark really cracked me up! LOL He just doesn't want to be left out of any camera view! He's such a sweety pie, really love watching him on your video's! Thanks for sharing him with us! I always look around in the background of the videos to see what he's up to! Such a treat!

[@lisabriscolino3417]

The look on Laura’s face was priceless when Aaron showed up and said he liked the look of the raised bed!!! Both were surprised!!!

[@GardeningSpirit]

oh my goodness Russell!! he's such a cutie! look at him walking after Laura, just so happy. they are all beautiful, my fav is the white swan though.

It was so cute 🥰 to see Russell run to keep up with you as you went to show us the planted echinacea! 🐈

[@ileanabolano5642]

Hi, Laura and Aaron. I have been watching you religiously for years. I’m not a commenter but every time someone writes a very complimentary and heartfelt note I feel they are expressing what’s in my mind as well. Question: What is your edging routine now that you have so many new flower beds? I’m trying to achieve a natural edge with the half-moon hand tool but my mowing service is coming after and almost scalping the area with the string trimmer.

[@ralugator]

Welcome to the cool colors club, Aaron! I love that Laura filmed her reactions :) Your interactions are adorable.

[@alisonsneed3707]

Love the way Laura gardens on the go! Whatever turns up - goes in the flower bed, the rhyme and reason decided on the fly. So much more fun than ordering specific amounts all the time and following a sketch to the letter. Laura just let’s it rip!

[@dianep4258]

Good Morning Laura. I love all the new to your garden flowers but I believe you missed one. The orange and white striped 'cat tail'

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Laura, you have got that magic touch when it comes to putting plants together! I loved that raised bed! Wow!

[@anjabrunner5100]

Laura, Deine Farbzusammenstellung,ist so wunderbar und überzeugend auch ich Liebe diese...tolle Experimente. Doch, ehrlich, Rassel ist der Hammer ,er locker Deine Video so richtig auf....beide Deiner Katzen. Ich hab auch schon sehr lange zwei Katzen. Alles Liebe, bis zum nächsten Video. Gruß Anja Brunner

[@OMGitsaClaire]

I planted some classic Echinacea purpurea last year in a front flower bed. I actually bought the plants from the “herbs” section of my local farm and feed store so the plants were pretty small. They didn’t bloom last year but bulked up with leaves nicely. This year each plant sent up dozens of blooms! They’re nearly 4ft tall! I have mine paired with some sunflowers and Autumn Joy sedums and it’s a nice combo.

[@kimecker]

AARON: “I love the colors you love” That is TRUE LOVE ❤️

Would love to see some new drone footage of the south garden. Garden is looking gorgeous

[@duncanburl7586]

You rocked ,the Lantana and Canna's planter. Can't wait to see it in the coming months. 🙌

[@NinjaOrchids]

Sandia is Watermelon in Spanish. dont know if that was the inspiration, but it makes sense seeing the blooms 😃

[@erinjames377]

The music has a rock vibe to it because Laura is rocking it out! 👏

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Echinaceas are one of my cast-iron, garden favorites! And it's wonderful to see such a wide variety being developed. Those are definitely must haves! Thanks, Laura!

[@sallydavidson682]

I love seeing the flower varieties. But I’d love to see your kitty Russell more! He’s soooo adorable! I just love a brown tabby-they’re so sweet!

[@natercia6007]

The Echinaceas are so beautiful, you are so lucky you don’t have rabbits, because they love Echinaceas. So I just love seeing them in other gardens.

[@TheHighlanderGirl]

I’m hoping these flowers are my answer - that and hardy succulents; I’m in So. San Diego, my back yard has FULL SUN most of the day, with hard packed dirt; water costs so much, so I’m going to rip out my sickly looking rose bush, and plant these flowers around the Queen palm. Thank you! BTW, you have a gorgeous yard - any wedding party would be blessed to take pictures in your yard! I’m sure your home is gorgeous as well.

[@melissaanderson5757]

Echinacea... beautiful and delicious too... just ask the baby bunnies in my garden. So cute until they eat your stuff down to the ground. Love the sweet sandia!

The "tropical feel" is the perfect description of the raised bed! 💚

[@nancyelkins8849]

That raised bed! Wow! ❤️

[@TreeHugginT]

I have watched your videos for a few years, I don’t think I’m quite an OG but you’re one of the few creators who I consistently watch. I have been a working mom my children’s whole life and my oldest will be 17 this year and for the first time in his life I decided to spend the summer not working or going to school and just enjoy it with my family. The last 3 months on mornings that I don’t have anything else going on I grab my coffee and watch your video and sometimes my kids hop up next to me and watch them with me. Sometimes I sit here by myself and watch you and just enjoy the moment. I guess that was a really long way to say, thank you for sharing your life and space with all of us!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Russell sure loves his Laura! He just can't seem to get close enough to her unless he has her undivided attention! That cat cracks me up!

[@Madeen1982]

That green echinacea is gorgeous. We don't see enough green flowers in gardens.

[@colleenmasse9368]

I know this is off topic, but Laura has any one ever told u that u have the most beautiful eyes.. Everytime I'm watching ur videos, my husband always asks " is that the lady w the beautiful eyes?"...lol...then he comes over & takes a quick look. He also comments on how beautiful ur children r. I'm sure EVERYONE will agree w that. Just thought u would like to hear something positive today. 😉..lv u videos.

Good morning all GA followers! Anyone else watching before heading out into your own gardens, I'm off to water early. But because of Laura, I have been upping my Echinacea game, truly they are what is providing a lot of the color out there. I had a friend stop by yesterday and asked what that color was, yep, bright colors are needed when its hot out, because there is so much green. I loved Laura's face when Aaron said he wasn't a big fan of red anymore....lol. My husband still is. sigh.

[@alw5101]

Was I the only one to notice the sweet flirtatious exchange between Laura and Aaron? That twinkle in her eyes and the sparkle in her smile was nothing short of a million images of butterfly’s dancing in her heart! So sweet guys love is Bliss ✨🤍🦋

Hmmm no perennials/annuals. Laura needs to remember her garden soil is a total choice of palette of colours / plants. There is no laws, there is only choice colours,soils, areas The main choice, is you. Good luck and happy gardening.

Absolutely correct about the warm colors!

I currently have 20+ of them (purpurea) down a sloped stacked stone border wall of the driveway, and seriously am so excited for them to creep and leap! I also have a couple of the orange/apricot varieties I picked up on clearance in a different section of the garden and they add such a great pop of color on an otherwise boring area!
