I have an area that hardly gets sun if any, the area is 11’ x 8’, what plants would you recommend? I don’t want anything higher than 4’ but I would like perennials with color. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
ОтветитьI love the softness of the Cryptomeria and have a "Black Dragpm", while a dwarf is not the very short foundation plant that the "Dragon Prince" is. I want a Mugo "Sherwood Compact" and an Abies concolor "Pigglemee". I am leaning toward putting a short ornamental grass in front of or between the dwarf evergreens.
ОтветитьObsession nandina
ОтветитьGreat info on dwarfs, thanks Jim!
ОтветитьGreat topic. So glad I found your videos. Am eager to watch more.
ОтветитьYa I need to redo my garden everything bc dies in the winter because we don’t have evergreen. Well I have the one the bloom white but they die in the winter
ОтветитьMost of these plants are for warmer climates. I'm in Zone 4-5 and would have been helpful to know this.
ОтветитьVery helpful, Jim. No favorite yet, will have to make a decision for my foundation plants❣️
ОтветитьI need a tall shrub that can be put in a container. My husband worries about roots hurting our concrete foundation.
ОтветитьAny suggestions for us living in cold 5b zone?😅
ОтветитьI love the colorful nandinas but I’ve never had one that hasn’t been invasive despite the claims otherwise! Are these truly, TRULY non-invasive? I just can’t go after all those runners again! 😂
ОтветитьMy go to shrubs are pittosporum and lorapetalum. They’ve never had disease or pests. I can always count on them.
Ответитьahh! just what I needed and was looking for! great video! Loves these!
ОтветитьGreat video. I really like the Kaleidoscope Abelia because I have so much green, purple and yellow with Sunshine Ligustrum, Lorapetalen, boxwoods that’s the orange color provides something different. I was NOT a gardening person and dug out and planted all new shrubs during Covid based on your videos. Now, I’m adding final touches. Gonna give the Obsession Nandina and Rose Creek Abelia a shot. Thanks Jim!
ОтветитьJim I live in zone 9b, I am looking for a dwarf shrub or an ornamental grass for a very narrow walkways on either side of a concrete rectangular steps concrete walkway in front of a front door. The house is contemporary style.
ОтветитьLost a lot of evergreens here in zone 7B this past winter. I always knew it could happen with more marginal evergreens(camellia japonica) but my taxus, chamaecyparis, and mahonia bit the dust. Meant to add loropetalum!
Ответитьmugo Pine
ОтветитьSuch beautiful plants thanks for all the info
ОтветитьGreat video and useful information!
ОтветитьNot for me,zone 5
ОтветитьReally nice list, thanks.
ОтветитьI have a problem finding the plants you show. Any nurseries in the Triangle area I can visit and find them?
ОтветитьThe hex midget average ID is a great small globe Evergreen shrub and the tater. Tot is the same just a little bit smaller and then. You have the Anna's magic ball which. Is? Yellow. What else? And then there's some small compact juniper's like the blue star juniper. Blue star juniper has that nice blue green color and then if you want something a little bit larger. There's the globe type Colorado blue spruce. It grows into a small globe. And then you have the small false gold mop cypress which which are also very pretty and have a pretty golden color.
ОтветитьBig omission, and I don't know why: skimmia japonica. Beautiful very low-growing, reliable shrub with lovely berries the birds won't eat, but decorate the plant all winter. ?
ОтветитьThanks for this very informative video. Great suggestions!
ОтветитьHi Jim. Out of all your videos I have watched this is the best 👌. I recently brought some blue evergreen plants like the first ones in your video but some are now losing their blueness and looking a little brown. I have also bought some Chinese Holly to use instead of box wood. This is because in the south of England we have box blite and box caterpillar.
ОтветитьReally helpful as I have 3 large deck containers to plant up. What is the plant with similar coloration to the left of the Purple Daydream Loropetalum? Great echo!
ОтветитьHELLO Jim! I have a good many Japanese Cleyera I planted years ago, that have grown very tall as a planted hedge on a slope near my property line here in Georgia 30078. I haven't trimmed them yet. They are looking bad, thinned out, and some have died.
What do you recommend to restore my Cleyera hedge as it is late February here in 2023? Thanks.
Not to happy as zone5 is not a choice for your plants.
Ответить‘Shishi Gashira’ camellia
Ответить‘Spiders Web’ fatsia, ‘Jubilation’ gardenia, ‘Yewtopia’ yew
ОтветитьThank you, I’ve been looking for a dwarf purple shrub and when you showed the Purple Dream drawf Loropetalum, I knew it was the one.
ОтветитьDo the cryptomeria shrubs bronze in the winter? I have cryptomeria and they yellow and bronze in the summer winter.
ОтветитьLeucothoe fontanesiana 'Nana'
Illicium floridanum 'Red Dwarf'
Illicium floridanum 'Swamp hobbitf'
Morella cerifera var. pumila
Morella cerifera 'Don's Dwarf'
I've got three goshiki osmanthus planted in my front yard with red mulch to contrast. They're small and compact right now and I just love the color contrast of the green and cream color with a touch of rust (new foliage) and the red mulch. I planted a bouquet of mums to go with them. I couldn't be any happier!
ОтветитьI’ve planted both Obsession & lemon lime Nandina last year. I can’t believe how easy they are to grow & just love their texture & color. So I’m going to try the blush pink next.
ОтветитьWish I lived 3 hrs south so I could hire you.
ОтветитьHi Jim, thank you for the great info. My favorite small shrub is the golf ball pithosporum.
ОтветитьGreat information! TY!
ОтветитьLove your channel Jim! I hope mine will be half as successful as yours one day!!🌺
ОтветитьLiked the Encore azelas
ОтветитьMy dog broke my mahonia by scratching her belly on it! I hope it comes back!
Ответитьlove this list! Thanks Jim!
ОтветитьIm hoping to see some Pancake arborvitae :)
ОтветитьLots of evergreens for zones 6 and above but what about those of us in zone 5b? We have lots of clay soil here in Indiana so I've learned a lot from watching your video's on how to plant in this heavy soil of ours.
ОтветитьI forgot to mention I’m in zone 8 or 8b
ОтветитьI need something to replace my junipers in a zigzags planting that can be maintained to 12” to 18” ut will not show woody stems when pruned, pls respond thank you so much nice video
