[@Robinicat]

Congratulations on the birth of your baby!

[@marshagibbons7090]

I love your show with a passion. You have the best voice and performance of anyone!! You should be on TV. Like HGTV for sure.

[@barbmurray8557]

I have to watch your videos several times because I learn new things every day. Thank you for being so supportive and smart 💖

[@cindybills677]

I buy my Proven Winner plants based on "what Laura says." :) I've never been disappointed in a single one. Thanks for having her explain/advertise the plants she uses.

[@anischoudhury9270]

Waw how wonderful your flower plant

[@favoritehobbygardenerOKLAHOMA]

I can’t get enough of these fantastic videos. Thank you!

[@Yrutnec1]

I stand AMAZED at all the wonderful things that GOD has Given/Designed for our enjoyment! And I appreciate that Laura teaches us how to introduce and Garden properly to have a great "Haven" --- so eager to get outside and watch my Garden grow! Thanks Laura and big Thank you Proven Winners...............I LoVE you both!

[@philisbramlett6890]

Congratulations Mom & Dad 💞 Isn' t it a Wonderful World 😇 II'm a Nanna 🤗 The Joy ! Okay ... I'll pay attention. ! Love & Blessings To You All 💞

[@karenproulx5902]

Wow new at this black thumb and don’t want a lot of work but like to see it come up every year you have helped me so much thank you

[@TheStanfordKid]

So much bloom on those plants. Amazing!

[@darrenb1619]

O my gosh. I found this so satisfying. Thank you.

[@candicebehrens1980]

I just love how your cat is always around you.

[@Gkrissy]

Very helpful video and you are straight forward. Love the zone information you provide as well

[@JanCliftonWatford]

This is a wonderful video and I now know about many new selections of beautiful perennials for my gardens. Thank you so much. 🌸🌼🌞

[@simonaalbu9364]

Thank you! I took the notes and will have to start planting based on your advice!

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Wonderful!

[@richbishop7896]

Love those perennials!

[@kasisatya5448]

YES we need to encourage pollinators! So happy you mentioned that - so important right now.

[@jeaniegobin1375]

Hi Laura I just moved from Wisconsin to Arkansas last june. I'm learning everything all over again because soil grow zone seasons and everything is so different. I planted Dianthus and it has never died back. It has bloomed on warm days and has closed buds when it's cold like today 28 degrees f. It was always 1 of the first things to come to life back in Wi. Thank you for the video and your thoughts. God bless you

[@LummeBua]

Dianthus thrives in my 8-9 harsh sun light in TN. Will definitely get more for next Summer!

[@lesliestarr270]

Planning and planting for the pollinators is an excellent way to garden!

[@natalialopes719]

In this video Samantha Grace is only nine days old? You look amazing. And you’re already making this video. That’s pretty amazing. Congratulations and thank you for the video

[@renatat4352]

I love watching your videos especially during the gray days of February. I am excited to try the ornamental oregano, the fuschia salvia and the creeping phlox. Hoping spring comes early here in Zone 5!

[@julierichmond5726]

[@chrisfoster765]

Love this video - I learned so much about perennials and combining plants in my garden. Please keep them coming. Suggestion: please leave the name of perennials a bit longer on the screen so I can write it down. Thanks again for the u-tube video.

[@deborahwalsh8778]

Awesome! Loved your video! Hope I can find some of these plants.

[@kathrynlloyd3656]

Congratulations on Samantha Grace!

[@countrygalinthecity]

Thank you for all the info! I'm starting my cottage gardens journey and so excited!

[@mariedudley540]

WOW! Thank you for having my favorite gardener show us these flowers and especially in her garden.

[@8Gammie]

Absolutely YES, on that daylily reminding me of an iris, too! So beautiful. thank you for a great video. So helpful to me in zone 8 to 8b. Blessings, love and hugs.

[@miriamgrutz2132]

Thanks good to know. I like watching instead of reading about the flowers. It's easier to understand

[@paulsidello8599]

I just found your channel and was very impressed.

[@sabrinacopas1636]

Hooray for the chance of red... 😁 Frankly Scarlet looks beautiful. ♥️

[@riverp9019]

Yah red......the best foil for red is green, dark green, preferably up a tree like Tropaeolum speciosum. Red doesn't mingle with much except a lovely dark dark saturated cool viloet purple (not the warmer red toned purples) can look fabulously like shot silk, some of the newer Suprbena's or Verbenas are good in this combo. Wish Laura, yes you lived in Southern Florida because I just love your honesty and enthuisiasm and finding good new lovely flowers is rather tricky down near Cuba, even just half way there. Garden centres are very prone to selling stuff that wont thrive in our zone in season, they look fabulous and are soooooo enticing but one rain and they're gone to fungal heaven for good. So yah please move to Miami Florida, branch out lol

[@adamlapsevich9357]

This was so helpful! We are in northern Ohio, have lots of deer and rabbits in our area, and while we have a lot of shade in parts of our yard, we do have afternoon sun in the back. We just installed a beautiful in ground pool, and need ideas for plants and this helped big time.

[@carolinamoonslilenglishgar8580]

Love the hibiscus 🌺 can't wait to go plant shopping

[@luciepaul1]

I am learning so much from your videos. Thx for sharing

[@tinamarieussery3063]

Very nice going to have to look for the shade loving ones they will work inside my apt even if next apt doesn't have a porch or growing space like this one

[@Clutchpearls]

Your amazing 9 days after you are working! You go girl! ❤️💜

[@woodydietz7512]

I totally get your dianthus dilemma since the bloom cycle is relatively short. I gave up on them and planted day lilies instead and am glad. More powerful presentation for sure. Just my experience. Love this video

[@jumperstartful]

Really enjoy DayLilies and have expanded my selection this year. I'm in zone 9 and have a short growing season but daylilies are super.

[@tomsmith2013]

Laura, you are the Queen of Proven Winners in every way that matters!

[@jnorth9702]

Thank you for sharing.

[@jolyndaj]

Thank you so much! Very informative!!

[@ritakaye]

Thank you so much! Just found you on KZbin and can’t stop watching. I’m in my 70s and not a natural gardener- thanks for sharing easy-care gardening tips!!! AND what are those little trees you have behind you in pots??

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Those are small Lemon Cypress trees....thanks for watching!

[@tinablum9089]

I love your videos. We just bought 5 1/2 acres and I am going to go wild with planting flowers. I appreciate your detail info on each flower. Keep the videos coming. And CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BABY!!

[@mariedudley540]

Congratulations!! How exciting for you Tina, that sounds heavenly

[@dorenenagy564]

Beautiful flowers. I need to buy more shade plants. My shady flower beds are lacking luster. Thanks for posting.

[@lorapoepping3165]

I am addicted to watching your videos (even though we are covered with a blanket of snow today here in Seattle today). A favor: could you keep the name of the plant up on the screen as you continue to talk about them? I often watch your explanation and then have to rewind to get to the name. I'm keeping a list of your recommendations as we move towards the warmer seasons. Thanks you!

[@evelynvandyke4268]

Thank you so much for video. Would you be able to make suggestions for a small flower bed that gets sun?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

This page on one of our websites has lots of ideas for different landscapes, enjoy! beauty.provenwinners.com/landscape-gardening/

[@rmishio6036]

Yes, I’m making my list for 2021

[@phoenixrising1799]

AWESOME video 👍

[@MrGardeners]

So many beautiful options, it's hard to choose! Looking forward to getting some plants in the ground this growing season.

[@AnaMartinez-vs7dm]

I have flower boxes by my front windows I get some sun then some shade. I’m looking for suggestions on what are the best plants for the front. On my deck I have boxes however a lot of sun. Love what you do you have always been very helpful. Your help is always appreciated.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Here is our container recipe search page, and under POT STYLE you can choose window box, we hope you find this helpful! www.provenwinners.com/container-gardening/container-recipes/search

[@fannieallen6005]

Thank you so much 💓. I have hibiscus and they are always glorious ❤

[@johndixfree2857]

I Had a double Yellow Hibiscus I planted at a rental so I coudn't take it with me when I moved. I Have never seen another Hibiscus that could come close to its beauty. I always watch for another when plant shopping but haven't found. I ordered some seeds from "Itsy" but haven't planted yet, keeping my fingers crossed.

[@sierraadams8009]

Purple flowers of all kinds keep popping up all over my property. Purple seems to be the color this year

[@lisawalters5482]

Great review. I see a lot that I want. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@pricedesign8805]

Proven Winners always seem to do well in my garden

[@TheMyssT]

I have never had a garden but I hope to start one this year zone 6 ...this is the most inspiring video I have watched (and I’m watching a lot of them) thank God for the algorithm. Do you have a video on growing herbs in zone 6 (6a)...That is where I would like to start.

[@annbjorke2619]

B.

[@jessicajelenic2868]

I am very impressed by your knowledge!!! I work in a perennial growing nursery , and we grow almost all of the varieties you have mentioned. You are spot on with all the research we have done! We are trialing the Opalescence series of Phlox right now. Is the mildew resistance true?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

We can never promise 100% resistance, but it is much more resistant than other plants on the market.

[@missouriartiste]

Yes! I agree on the Dianthus, I am always indecisive with them. I love the color but it seems the dead heads muck up the look.

[@user-do8ue9un9v]

Your gardens are so beautiful, I'm a new gardener but I have a problem, I'm looking for perennials that I can with fill planter boxes(similar to old window boxes) that are 6 inches wide and 6-8 inches deep in full sun 12 hours a day.. ps. I have 16 of these boxes.. along my porch edge at 6.5 feet high. ...any ideas? Zone 5b

[@deloresmaldonado8921]

Amazing

[@rebeccaschultz8171]

Thanks!

[@wildwestgardeneringeorgia7418]

Loving that Hibiscus

[@yvencia1150]

Love it's and great video🥰🥰😇😇

[@erinstoermer8236]

Dianthus is my favorite! This is only my second year with them but I totally understand what you mean about dead heading. It seems like they have one big bloom and then staggered for a few months after. I wish I could ship both that you showed to alaska!

[@timgillman]

Great video with wonderful plants. Apparently PW doesn't have a preferred provider in Seattle, so many are not available here. I see more common PW plants at Lowes. How do you get them in Eastern, OR? Also, I have the same problem with deadheading dianthus. I want the dead ones out and keep the ones still blooming. The only way I have found is to do it carefully bloom by bloom.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Good morning Tim. Please know that we do not have ANY preferred provider of our plants. All independent garden centers and box store managers decide which plants, and how many to order in from their local greenhouses. We do not. Some carry more of our varieties, while other prefer different genetics. To find retailers in your store that do carry our plants visit our website and click on the Find a Retailer tab. With regard to the dianthus, unfortunately the one bloom at a time approach is best.

[@timgillman]

@@ProvenWinnersKZbin Thanks for the reply. I was using the links to the website and when I enter my zip code I get the message: "We couldn't find any preferred sponsored retailers with this plant in stock." In some cases it looks like it can be ordered through the mail, but with the USPS backlogs, I am concerned that they would not arrive in good shape. I love some of these new perennials, and I have been happy with all of the Proven Winners plants I have bought over the years.

[@timgillman]

I can see that there is a list for my area, but other than the chains or "unconfirmed" all are quite a ways away. I will try a couple of the "unconfirmed". Thanks again for your help and quick response.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

@@timgillman That is a new feature, and we do not have many retailers who have uploaded their inventory, best to use this link, find stores in your area and visit those to see if the plant you are looking for is in stock. Please know the stores decide the plants they bring in, we do not. Thanks for watching!

[@timgillman]

@@ProvenWinnersKZbin Thanks!

[@MrsJB315]

Thank you for the videos! Love! Love Love all of them! Could you give some specifics on rabbit resistant perennials? Or what to do with rabbit issues? Thank you!

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

The best thing for rabbits is Plantskydd spray. It does smell, it does discolor the plants, but if you spray it at each sign of new growth the bunnies will stay away. FYI, it is an organic product, and personally I have found the spray is much more effective than the granules.

[@johndixfree2857]

One of my favorites is a Black Lab.

[@eightmeg2003]

It is inspiring and exciting to listen to you talk Ma'am. I wish I was your sod-puller.

[@JMcRay]

Hi, (Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ) I live in the Ft. Worth Area. (Texas) what red flowers grow best. I have rose bushes that are not good. they are clumpy. I just have one now. But I need to pull it up.. What thrives in Central TX?

[@frandanco6361]

Go to a Nursery in your city/town and you will find all the plants that work best there..

[@TheBrunildas]

New subscribe here. Morning from Europe, Italy. 💓💓💓💓

[@neerjapancholi9645]

Hi Laura, love your videos! Can you please share where you purchased the grey concrete plant column you have in the background? Thank you! :)

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Many items such as that were on the property when they purchased the home

[@shikhavinayshashank3245]

if possible please make a video on how to store hyacinths bulbs without soil for next year . Please please

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Sorry to say we only make videos about our plants, and we do not offer these types of bulbs.

[@anns8893]

These are Beautiful plants but how do you keep the snakes away from your garden? I live in the country of Tennessee and there are poisonous ones. Is there anything to Repell them? Thank you and love your videos. 🦋🌻🌻🦋

[@laelgaston8110]

I gave up on dianthus for the same reason. I spent a ton of time selectively deadheading and couldn't keep up. Beautiful plant but so time consuming!

[@margeschumacher1017]

Can you keep the name of the plant on the screen while you are talking about it? I keep having to rewind to catch the name at the very beginning of each segment. Love your presentations.

[@chuckdegeneres2044]

These new low growing Hydrangeas are just beautiful! I plan on including them in my new garden plantings this spring. I would like to ask if you have experience in Proven Winners newest hydrangea, Fairytale Bride. My zone is 9a and live in the hot Central Valley, CA (Visalia, CA) where it gets 105-110 F in the summer. I am worried that I will burn up the hydrangea, so would you suggest planting in filtered sun area?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Chuck, please realize this is the Proven Winners KZbin page, this is not a Garden Answer page. Fairytrail Bride is not a Proven Winners hydrangea, so we cannot help with your plant question.

[@sn20]

Is there a video you have done that features deer resistant perennials for container gardening ?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

No, we do not have a video on perennials, only one on shrubs for landscapes. Plantskydd spray is incredibly effective, find out more by searching for the company's page online. Also, here is a list of the perennials we do consider deer resistant and are sized for containers--typically these are plants that are fragrant, very low to the ground, or tickle the deer's noses, such as a perennial grass. www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced?duration=Perennial&deer-resistant=1&uses[0]=Container

[@karenlong07]

Hello! I love the Spot On Lungwort Pulmonaria! I have visited the link listed to purchase but it doesn't have that option. Could you tell me where I might find to purchase? Thanks!

[@nicak6349]

I have a creek running through my property and am constantly fighting the weeds coming up the sides of it. Do you have any suggestions of a perennial ground cover that would be vibrant in color and also be able to overtake the weeds?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

It is better to remove the weeds or treat them somehow vs. trying to cover them with another type of plant. Some weeds are incredibly vigorous and can power through nearly everything. Take a picture of the weed to your local garden center to see what they recommend, they will be familiar with the weed that is invading your property.

[@wsavage3696]

I am not a gardener at all. I need a couple of virtually no maintenance type of perineal flower bed. Is that even possible? Lol but I sure do have some good hosta plants growing!! I do not like cutting back plants in the fall.

[@allij7947]

The hummingbirds were buzzing when I was cleaning up my large patch of lungwort

[@BostonBorn]

A lot of these varieties aren’t carried by any of my garden centers. Can these be ordered online and, if so, what time of year do you order for next year’s bloom?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

The links above will take you to the page on our website filled with information about that one plant, and also indicates if it is available for sale on the right hand side of that page. Best to plant early in fall and water well until the ground freezes over. Don't expect much from a perennial the first few years, the growth at this time is focused on the root system, building a strong base for a beautiful perennial in future years. Thanks for watching!

[@anniekammerer8308]

My 2 heaven scent jacob's ladders have no notable aroma, but they looks gorgeous under a dogwood.

[@jben911]

Are there any daylilies that are deer resistant?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Not that we know of...for a plant to be deer resistant it is typical fragrant, very low to the ground or tickles their nose like an ornamental grass would. I wish we had better news. But Plantskydd spray is amazing, and it keeps the rabbits away too! Spray at the sign of new growth...

[@jsrdpollard]

Would like to see a list of names of these new plants so I could print it off.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Click the SHOW MORE at the end of the video description and the entire plant list will appear, along with links. Then just copy and pasted these into a word doc. Thanks for watching!

[@heatherderganc5984]

There’s a little “v” below the lower right hand corner. Click on that and the information comes down.

[@stevevaughn2040]

I am moving to zone 9. When you say hardy zone 3= 8 does that mean too hot in zone 9?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Correct, and this actually relates to the night temps, which cause a chemical reaction within the plant to develop the blooms for the season ahead...

[@katiekane5247]

Still looking for an improvement over "Caramel" heuchera, this could be it. Absolutely bulletproof in zone 7 in a variety of locations. All these are nice though.

[@danilawson686]

What is the variety of the evergreens behind you? They look so cute. I’m hunting for a living evergreen that I can use for a Christmas tree in December.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Please realize this is the Proven Winners KZbin page, these questions are not answered by Laura. We believe those are some form of cypress trees in the containers behind her in this video.

[@StormWarningMom]

As a regular watcher of Laura's channel, those are lemon Cypress.

[@eibaby5678]

I'm new to your videos and love all the information you pack in! I'm interested in the new compact hydrangeas. Can they take lots of sun or will they wilt? Thanks.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Look at our website page that talks about the specific plant you are interested in and it will tell you the recommended light exposure. Most hydrangeas are best in full to part sun.

[@brigittelange3741]

What do you mean when you say high PH? The number ih high, meaning very basic?

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

This refers to one of the levels in your soil if you were to have it tested.

[@brigittelange3741]

I understand that it means PH level. my question is: a high PH is from 8 up i.e. alkaline?

[@edithrichardson543]

Hi Laura. I was wondering is it safe to move perennials around right now? If not when would be a better time

[@edithrichardson543]

I am in zone 6

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Yes, dig carefully and do the best you can to get all of the root system. Then water it well as if it is a new plant when you do relocate it.

[@genafarr6878]

When can you plant rockcress? And how to please!!

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Wow, that is not a plant we are familar with enough to advise you on, try your local garden center, and thanks for watching!

[@seashells5181]

You have a ton of knowledge about. flowers

[@kclark8398]

What are the blue flowers, looks like a vine, behind the Spot on Lungwort Pulmonaria?!?!?!

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Those are the actual blooms from Spot On that arrive in early spring. Thanks for watching!

[@stevenjwiles]

I have the worst time with dianthus. The plant grows great, but they hardly bloom. I do love the bluish grassy foliage though.

[@denko44]

Divide it, if its a old plant. Too much competition for nutrition. Maybe a PH issue or lack of nutrients.

[@oscarnoesi7189]

On our website we offer a Find a Retailer tool that can help you locate stores in your area that carry our plants, we also do sell our plants on our website. Simply find the plant you are interested in and purchasing info, if available, will be on the plant info page near the bottom. Thank you for asking!

I am looking for recommendations for deer resistant perennials flowers that I can grow in containers. Plants to mix and match in each container wouldn't that be awesome... Any help ?

[@lindagormley9147]

Hi, we have a bunny and deer problem, I’m trying to grow flowers and they eat everything, any ideas for the deer problem, bunnies are not as bad

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Hi Linda, we recommend Plantskydd spray to many! Personally I have had amazing results with this, keep in mind the spray worked better for me than the granules. It is organic, and does discolor the plant, but that does go away. This is a spray that changes the flavor of the plant, it is not topical, which means you do not have to worry about it washing off like others. Spray at the sign of any new growth. Learn more here, and if you do not see it at local retailers you can buy via this site or other large online retailers, www.plantskydd.com/

[@kasisatya5448]

Love these so where do I buy them? Big box stores or boutique nurseries? I live in the bay area of California.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]
