Thank you for this video! First time homeowner and I’m trying to add flowers but lord is it overwhelming.
Glad it was helpful. Check out my courses, too! They are great for beginners! Prettypurpledoor.com
Love your videos!
Thank you! 😊🌸
Awesome ❤thank you for sharing!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌿🌳💚
I'm still wondering how it could be possible to include white or very dark flowers (kind of daysies or chocolate cosmos) ? Any help would be very valuable for me.
I feel like I just answered this question....
It's a great video but I'm still confused about how to including white flowers like Daysies or very dark flowers like chocolate cosmos :(
Colors are on a spectrum of what's called TINTS and SHADES. Tints are lighter versions of a color (more white added to the color). Shades are darker versions of a color (more black added to it). So something like a chocolate cosmo would be a SHADE of one of the primary colors. Probably magenta?
Thank you Amy, I think I watched this one before. But I loved it so I watched it again. So I just planted a few of those plants in my part shade garden. I also added pink bleeding heart. All most wish I had a white one. White Astilbe, epimedium with yellow flowers. snow drop blubs divided and replanted.
That's great. This is a brand new video that just came out Monday so I'm not sure how you watched it before. I this video I talked about foliage plants for shade, not flowering ones.
Nice selection. You can also use Bromeliads in shade for fantastic bright color
Could you tell us the difference between Heuchera and Heuchrella?
Heucherella, aka Foamy Bells, is a hybrid of 2 plants: Heuchera and Tiarella
I love caladiums, I did a big container full of different varieties & so many people comment. I also put them in my shade garden. Love Jack Frost!! One of my favourites!!!The veining is so gorgeous & stands out!!! I also love coral bells, the amount of varieties are incredible & look gorgeous planted with hostas Fantastic choices
Thanks ...I have Japanese painted ferns ad variegateed Jacob's latter, but would love to add some brunnera 🤩
Great video! 👏👏👏
Thank you Amy. 💐💚🙃
After watching your video, I asked myself, "what about just putting the pump inside a Tide bra bag?
Give it a try. My guess is it would get clogged pretty quickly with algae... But let us know.
Thank you for sharing this information for us beginners!
Glad it was helpful!
At 8750 feet with -40 degrees temperatures in the winter, that really gives me a drastic decrease in the type of plants that can even work here. Ideally everything also needs to be deer and elk proof, as well. I started with a packet of wildflowers and have divided and grown my landscaping from there. Mostly white and purple work well here. I complement with yellow.
Love number 3
I’m in Georgia and am looking for something like my driveway similar to the pencil trees I see in Provence France. They look like Tucson cypress. I’m in growing zone 8a. What do you recommend?
You're in luck, I made a whole video of trees I'd recommend 😉
@@PrettyPurpleDoor link for me? :) I’m looking for that Provence in Georgia look (: but I don’t want to get it wrong
I see the Pencil Juniper but I don’t think it will grow fast enough for my needs and it doesn’t get tall enough.
You can do some research to find something similar. But the truth? You don't live in Provence France so you'll have to find a suitable option for Georgia.
@@PrettyPurpleDoor well - that’s what I’m trying to figure out and find.
Thank you! Great info!
Put landscape screen eliminate mosquitoes
Very informative. Thank you!!!
Great video. This company has many, many complaints on the BBB website as well as very poor yelp and goggle reviews.
You do not need the watering pipe, just the side hole, water plant until water starts escaping. Also what's the point of the grill and the bag? Just use plastic board.
You need the pipe to get the water into the reservoir below the soil. The grill and bag separates the soil from the water reservoir. Otherwise you're just watering your plant in a container like normal and you'll have to water much more often.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌿🌳💚
It’s called soil not dirt
Ok thanks for your correction on this 4 year old video 🤷
@@PrettyPurpleDoor 😊 I am British and my father used to go mad at us if it was called “ dirt” 😊 it’s soil the giver of life
Did you have a question about the video or are you just correcting the term?
Thanks for the video. I am tired of cleaning my bird bath every day. I need an in-ground system that is filtering the water.
Beautiful! How are the plumes of the karl foerster staying together like that? Mine split open
Maybe not enough sun? Mine always look like that so I'm not sure
Well I’m still in the ones, twoies. I’m slow to get it going because several plants were in pots and I planted in the landscape. I did this to try to get my colors, and layering figured out. Some I have put some more in areas but trying to take out some I don’t like. Or that took over.
It takes time and that's ok 😊
was thinking it over a bit and came back to add: height! obviously if you are trying to block a view, or etc you know you want height, but... a mass of plantings all the same height, or having taller stuff block the view of the plants behind it? argh! its very east to overlook something like "i want a whole border with various yellow flowers... and end up with the one daylilly that is 36 inches tall, towering over the rest that are 24 or less
Yesssss so true. Just made a new lesson inside my course all about this!
Love your videos. I do have a question... I've chosen the right plants for the right location. Problem is so have the armadillos. Help!!!!
Sorry I don't have armadillo here in PA so maybe you can Google some solutions 😊. A big part of choosing the right plant for the right place is also taking wildlife and mother nature into consideration as much as possible 😉
I was really hoping for a video that didn't require special equipment like a drill 😭
Oh, I'm sure you can come up with a creative solution to puncture a small hole into the container....... That's silly 😋
@@PrettyPurpleDoor Please, offer instructions for punching a 1/4 hole into a 5 gallon bucket. I'm all ears.
Screw driver and a hammer or mallet? A nail? A kitchen skewer
What will stop the water from coming out of the pin hole and leaking all over the floor (if indoors)?
The pin hole is just so you don't fill it up too high. I guess refill it in the sink?
Do they need all the cuttings to make a plant, or will one cutting make a whole bush
One cutting will make a new plant
Have just under 3 feet between edge of poured concrete pad and back of fence panel. Any that grows fast and tops out around 10-14 tall is great. Desperately need a privacy shield
Related to #2. I would say focusing exclusively on blooms. After the blooms are gone, consider what the foliage and plant structure will look like.
Yes, texture and form 😊 good one
You should absolutely look up zone if you want certain perennials to over winter. And nurseries do not always have suitable plants for the zone they are selling in. A good example for my area is lavender. I've seen it sold in this area as a perennial, but it's really rare for anyone to be able to get it to over winter properly outside (some people have them in pots and bring them inside). If I didn't know that, I would have easily bought a plant that I thought was a perennial and then likely experience a failure not understanding why.
Or maybe you would have tried to overwinter the lavender and you'd find a microclimate where it was protected and actually could overwinter. I guess you'll never know for sure. I'm not saying to not research or learn about a plant. It's just that there's much more to it than your zone. Maybe you misinterpreted what I was trying to get across, here. Sorry about that. Most local nurseries (not big box stores) have knowledgeable staff that are helpful. If you're buying from home depot or Lowe's then maybe this is a bigger concern. I just think there's a lot more to getting a plant to grow than just your zone. I can grow lavender in my zone (technically) . But it would never grow here for many other reasons (sun levels, soil type, moisture etc). Either way it's ok to make mistakes. Appreciate your opinion and comments 😊
Thank you for this video! I just discovered your channel. You are a great problem solver & very resourceful …keeping costs down by thinking outside of the box. I respect that!🙌👏✌️
Thanks 😊
I just wanted to tell you thank you for making your content and that I love watching and learning from you!
Oh wow thank you so much. Usually the comments on these videos are not very nice. I'm considering stopping my channel because of the last video like this I made. It's not great for mental health to be trolled on the internet. So thank you for saying you like the videos.
@@PrettyPurpleDoor Seriously?! It boggles my mind how people can be so spiteful and opinionated about something that is supposed to be so fun and personal like gardening. I have learned SO much from your channel and hope that if you decide it's best for you to stop or take a break, that you leave everything you've put out up! Because I love them!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
@@PrettyPurpleDoor please don’t stop making your content, I love all of the videos, insight, and tips. It has really helped me design my own garden. I rewatch the same content all the time. It’s easy to be mean these days because it’s so impersonal. I’m sorry to hear that you have to deal with that even though you’re out here trying to help and educate people.
Thank you! That's so nice of you 😊. You'd be surprised how much negativity I deal with. It's shocking hahaha
I love your ideas . Cant get enough of it.
Thanks so much 😊
Love how you keep it simple & you are awesome in your approach. You seem like so much fun to hang out with!! Cheers from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
Hey thanks! Hit me up if you're ever in Pennsylvania 😉
@@PrettyPurpleDoor that would be so awesome-one day forsure!! Never been , but I am a diehard Philadelphia Flyers fan😄. Would love to see your gorgeous garden
one thing i learned the HARD way was not really allowing for the "maximum" size of some perennials. my bloody dock (aka red veined sorrel) behaved for a year and then got HUGE! and had to be pulled. so now i assume they will hit maximum size until proven otherwise. i advise planting annulas to fill space as the perennials grow up. Oh, this is Fabricdragon's garden specific channel- i subscribed as this one too
Ah yes, I still plant too close together sometimes! But using annuals to fill in is also what I try to do while they grow. Thanks for subbing!
Thank you Amy. Great tips ! 💐💚🙃
Glad it was helpful!
I love the point you made about grouping plants together for a bigger impact. Now I'm wondering if there are certain plants that almost always look better in a group. 🤔
Most plants look better in groups! Have a look at any botanical garden photos and you'll see it in action 😊
I think soft- and cool-coloured ones, also wispy ones, especially from a distance, look super divine in drifts
@@muta_othernames I like that; it sounds ethereal and relaxing.
It is pleasing to the eye to have more than one, but I can think of two exceptions possibly: one is with perennials that get shrub-sized, like Baptisia (false indigo). The other exception might be if you have a small garden. My husband loves his tiny garden that is in a fan-shaped area right near our cellar doors, and he gets away with planting just one of each plant, and it looks nice.
thanks for the tips! your interior design & decor looks great too!
Thanks so much! 😊 Glad it was helpful!
Great info. Ive been gardening 20 plus years now and i have learned some of what you are saying the hard way. Every other year i was always digging and moving stuff around. Doing some research goes a long way. 😊
I think we've all been there. I always say if it works on paper it will (likely) work in real life. And paper is cheap 😊
I like it, let see if I can do it too.
You can do it 💪
My training is limited to propagation in nurseries, growing from seed, pruning annuals, and merchandising using striping and waterfalling in garden centers organized by flower type, size, and growth patterns. My flowerbeds are organized by flower type, shade/dappled sun/full sun/water tolerance/soil type, and THEN color. Idc - I'm whimsical and like bees, butterflies, waterfalling using ROYGBIV, and planting panicle hydrangeas at the edge of my property. Once I have a flower type chosen for each bed, I stagger the colors not for curb appeal, but for pollination and fun! Edit: I spend an inordinate amount of time walking and hiking through the prairies and multi-terrain wooded paths of state and MetroParks, and that's my inspiration. I naturally overanalyze everything and am excruciatingly methodical by nature, and gardening is the one area where I try my hardest to let go and allow. The previous owner, my Grampa, was raised on a farm in rural Minnesota, and as soon as he and my Nana moved in he went about creating raised flowerbeds around the entire perimeter of the house. I'm ultimately trying to look at it as he did: the earth meets all of our physical needs, and we've caused a lot of damage. The least we can do is give back through soil fertilization, removal of weeds that pop up when we plant non-native species in areas they don't naturally grow, and invest not to make it pretty but to make peace. He passed last year, and after having to read some Michael Pollan books for my environmental sustainability degree, I feel like I understand my Grampa's perspective on a much deeper level.
Sounds good! enjoy your garden 😊.
👏👏❤️ 🙋🇪🇬
I hope you won't be too discouraged by the comments section. You seem like a confident, educated person whose entire self-image isn't based off youtube affirmation, but even so, it is sad how many people completely mistook your obvious good intentions and turned them into something patronizing or demeaning or whatever. This information is valid and I'm glad you're sharing it.
Appreciate your comment. I'm really surprised by the comments, too. I didn't invent color theory, just sharing what I've learned about it in my years of studying and implementing. I'm not defined by RUclips. But the comments are disheartening nonetheless. Making me reconsider the amount of time and effort I put into this free education.... Hours and hours and hours.... To be ridiculed. Why? We will see where it goes in the future 😊
@@PrettyPurpleDoor I understand. It's a shame. Free content and people are thankless. Well, I am a landscaper/garden designer myself and appreciate what you're doing, for what it's worth. It's always helpful to be reminded of even basic principles. Some gardens (and paintings) look better than others for a reason.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I realize for every negative comment there's a hundred people who enjoyed the video that didn't comment! So it's always nice to hear from those people too! If you're a garden designer, check out Paper Garden Workshop. I'm in a wonderful membership community filled with like-minded designers over there and it's a great source of inspiration and encouragement. Sounds like you'd fit in well 😊
@@PrettyPurpleDoor Thanks for the pointer! Will check it out. Keep your chin up.
Thank you for sharing I have 3 or 4 that I love & now I can do that, I have 2 that my husband love & hi usually doesn't like anything I do like, he always asks when I will get the plant out of the pot & one Russian yellow one so beautiful.
I'm sure you can make dozens of beautiful new plants from those now 😊 enjoy!
