Hi Erin, thanks for another informative and entertaining video. I really appreciate that you are willing to share your vast knowledge with all of us/me! Your relaxed attitude and dry sense of humor add a fun twist.

It looks so much better, just with the hostas gone! I've started the idea of "if I don't love it, get rid of it", in my gardens (and in the "stuff" in the house, too!)

[@lulubell711]

I live in southeast Tennessee, Zone 7b, and a couple weeks ago I planted 4 Fluffy Western arborvitae, 1 Forever Goldy arborvitae, and a Gatsby Pink Oakleaf hydrangea. So Fun. I have an Eastern Snowball bush that I am waiting for her to drop her leaves so I can transplant her to the other side of my yard. I'm excited about that. She's about three years old & big so I pray that I don't harm her.

The new shrub I'm excited about is Fire Light Tidbit. The nursery I work at got a bunch in, of course, I brought 2 home. I'm excited to see how they do. NW IN zone 5a/b.

[@dianebright9366]

I can’t believe you continue to plant hydrangeas even with all the deer you have! I recently moved and planted Bobos and a Little Lime: all nibbled on consistently by deer I didn’t know I had. I’ve been spraying, but it doesn’t seem to work. Now I research everything before planting and no more hydrangea for me! (Would have loved an Oakleaf.) You’re a courageous lady, Erin.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Try a different repellent. I do believe some work better for different deer herds than others. The deer here don’t seem to care too much about the hydrangeas until fall and winter.

[@pattiray6816]

Good tip about watering the hole first!

[@audreysweeney5338]

I love those shrubs. I see them around my area South Jersey. I was just going to say I never see that shrub in any of the nurseries. You are lucky to find them. That's great! Can't wait to see them grow in your yard.

[@artsyladie7]

Fun video Erin! I just now revamped a corner in my backyard that already had a flagstone path. I pulled out some horrible barberrys and two leafy, trailing evergreen bushes that always went out of contol. I tilled it all up and put in two pinkish panacle hydrangeas (one is Mega Mindy), 3 Robust Male ferns, and bordered with groupings of 3 heuchera colors: obsidian, gold zebra foamy bells, and more orange-green ones (no tag name), plus a Sedge Evergold perennial grass. Then red bark mulch. This is under two bright green Japanese maple trees and surrounded by more mature bushes, some flowering, deciduous. Looks wonderful so far. Though I mostly shop my local plant nurseries I purchased all these at Lowes because I was there and all their plants were beautiful and healthy!

[@camarojen1000]

I'm still planting too. Just planted a vanilla strawberry hydrangea in our front yard. There was never really landscaping in the front from the previous owners. Haven't fully decided what I am putting in. I am also cleaning up underneath our lilacs so I can out in bluebells and heucheras.

[@emmalavenham]

We love our Rogers bottlebrush buckeye! They make such a statement, particularly in our Oudolf-inspired space... BTW Aesculus parviflora var. Rogers have longer inflorescences making the plant that much more amazing...

I have both varieties in my garden 😍 love them! and they are NOT easy to find

[@emmalavenham]

@@jchampagne3609 I think this plant is really gaining ground particularly in landscape design circles and therefore, increasingly being grown. The challenge IMHO is finding a small independent nursery that sells them at an appreciable size - #3, #5 or #7 - to those outside of the trade.

[@pollinateordie6399]

Loved the video. Especially the Bottlebrush Buckeye part. I'm totally jealous you were able to find such a large one to plant. I've gotten 4 different ones online but only one is truly thriving and it's still tiny compared to yours even though this is it's second season. However I also did manage to snag one of the Rodgers variety. BTW, that variety's full moniker is "Rodgers Serotina" I can already tell that it's growing at a much faster rate for me than the regular variety. I got it online from WoodlandersDOTnet. I just now checked and they currently only have the regular one for sale, so you're right, the Rodgers seems to be a little hard to come by.

[@marilynmcgillick2931]

Hey Erin..so glad you showed the bottle brush shrub. We had a hurricane the beginning of Aug that wreaked quite a bit of damage on our property. I had 3 giant pines come down and crush some forsythia bushes which I'm kinda glad they did because I never liked them. I'm going to try the bottle brush shrubs there. I too have heavy deer pressure so these should work in that spot. Love your videos!

[@marilynmcgillick2931]

@@artsyladie7 Oh my gosh, that is so scary! So glad you didn't suffer any fire damage. And you're right, it is like starting over. I was going to work on the areas before winter but I decided to wait until spring. Not really up to it right now! Stay safe!

Fall is definitely the best time to plant shrubs, and other perennials. They will start growing in the spring before the soil can be tilled. Plant in the spring and you could be watering all summer.

I, too, think that planting is the best part of gardening! It's been a rough summer because we're also in the midst of a kitchen remodel so all of my garden dreams have been put on the back burner, so to speak. I think my husband is happy it was a slow year for planting... less for him to mow around! He's always telling me, "quit planting stuff!" I can't help it!!! Maybe I should just start moving the stuff I have around... that might work... ...til I see something new at the garden center... =D Hey, I think some Cherry Truffle sedums would look pretty by that weigalia! I planted several of those earlier this summer and they did so good! Very pretty purple foliage all summer (I have them in full sun, zone 4) with dark pink flowers that the bees are loving right now, while the weigalia isn't in flower! Plus, it would be a nice contrast to your yellow fall colors there! Also would be easy to cut back and move from that spot too, if/when you need to.

I can't speak for Erin, but I live in a rural area, so they have more available to eat so they leave my hydrangeas alone. With roses, I personally plant David Austin roses. They have wicked thorns. I saw a deer nibble on one of my David Austin Roses. That was the last time that ever happened. On the other hand, I had a thornless hybrid musk rose they loved to eat.
