Spectacular instructive video. Thanks so much.

The benefits of cutting down to a leaf node is you can influence the direction of the new growth , same in your lavender pruning video you miss out on opportunity to enhance growth patterns .

I transplanted a hydrangea to my backyard last year, where I thought it would get a little more sun. I’ve been watching it this year and trying to remember which variety it was. It just started blooming a few days ago. Your video reminded me…it’s Little Lime Punch!! Thanks!! You saved me from sorting through my plant tags 😂. Great information as usual!

I also have a woody lavender plant and I wasn’t too shocked at yours 😅they looked stunning when in full bloom. Perhaps you could add something like a periwinkle or salvia amongst your lavender to hide the wood. Love this video it was so helpful !

Thank you for sharing with us!! I love ❤️ your garden and im loving some new flowers coming out in 2025 too!!😊

One can root the cuttings in water, if desired.

I never knew to break them off so just gently pulled the dead bloom off. My Lillies have spread like crazy and are gorgeous. I'll start doing what you illustrated and maybe I'll get even more. I only started out with a few stems I transplanted from a family camp and now have at least a 6' spread on each side of my doorway . 🥰

You can never have too many hydrangeas. I’m at 23 at last count. I like to experiment with trimming a few branches before they bloom. You can get a layered effect with smaller later blooms coming later. It helps with the flopping too.

Another fantastic video Laura! Thank you!

Love your garden tours! You did such a great job recovering the woody lavendar. The topiary looks so unique, and the two level effect w/ the lower lavender is stunning! I am currently eyeing the tiny quick fire hydrangeas for my garden as one can never have enough hydrangeas! Would love to see an update on all of your hydrangeas one day (especially the pinky winkies!!) ❤❤❤

I always enjoy your videos! Can you compare Tiny quick fire vs Fire light tidbit hydrangeas? Thank you!

How fun that your dusty miller perenialised! Did you do anything special to over winter them?

Far from insignificant 😂😉 Yes, mine came back in PA also this year, although mine are mostly in shade, and foliage looks a little different, so not sure if it's variety or amount of sun .?

WOW

We have the same variety of dusty miller. I garden in 6b in Canada and it does come back every year especially if planted in sunny locations even in the winter time. I don’t care too much about the flower so I cut them, I pinch them as well to make it a mounded look.

Lavender Phenomenal looks and smells beautifully!

I had a blooming dusty miller last season and when the flowers started to look tired, I cut them back and there were more fresh blooms not long after. The plant flowered all summer and into the fall. A nice treat :D I was bummed it didn't come back, but we had a pretty severe frost that damaged many of my plants.

Mine is shedding all of them 😔 but there's only like 3 few green ones poking threw. Iam worried. 99% is brown and falling. 😢

Yard looks GREAT!!!

Can u cut lavender down in July!

For me, cats pajamas didn’t do well the second season for me, the third season the first flush was excellent. However, they always fizzle out after the first flush an do not respond to a cut back. But I love them so much that I keep them in my garden.

ok! my new favorite channel!

I bought around 30 one gallon size pots last year for hedges around my porch. It’s growing nicely but slow, I think. It seems like it’s growing in all directions. I want to grow them as hedges. It looks kind of flimsy right now. How long should I wait to start pruning?

Great video and i like your sense of humour.

When & how often to fertilize this?

Thank you for this info. I will get busy dead heading today!

Thank you for showing us how to prune Lavender! I just planted three plants and I usually don't like to prune plants because I would probably hurt or kill the plants but in this case it's a good thing to cut it back!

My lavender is in a pot. Should I bring it inside. Prune in fall?

What plants deter rabbits

Thanks for the information. I was wondering if pruning in the summer will give you more flowers.

Laura, great video, thank you for sharing. I discovered caryopteris several years ago. We're zone 6B. Have Longwood Blue & Dark Knight varieties. Love them for the reasons you mentioned... blooms late summer into fall, just when plants are looking haggard, and only color seems to be mums. Deer resistant & easy to grow. I prune back in spring to keep them manageable size and they are vigorous growers. Bees LOVE them; suggest planting away from doors if that bothers you. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

Where do you cut them?

Look up the ice plant prior to purchase...its very invasive.

Amazing advice thanks so much from 🇬🇧 UK. I have subscribed and will follow your channel from now on 👍

My question is how do you become a Proven Wiinners trial garden? I live about 10 minutes from Walter's Gardens and what are the criteria?

I made the exact same mistake you did thinking the bigger the lavender got the better it looked, until now 3 years later and they are like woody trees... oh well, thanks to your video now I know!

What did you decide to do with the woody lavender? I have woody lavender and I am wondering if I should remove and replace the plants in September.

Hi Laura - love your style of video's and the props are so good that I remember what your teaching. Amazing-thank you!

Very interesting ! Our Sea Holly is so unique that passersby ask about it a lot. In our xeriscape (mostly),bunny-resistant garden,it is a standout for sure. Tried a "Knockout Rose in a tall container,but,oh my,full of disease even though it bloomed its little head off ! Do not wish to spray it Q 2 wks.,so out it went. Any advice on a different choice ? Thks. so much,Laura. 🌞

Gracias 🙏

Thank interesting my work tommrow

The flowers are lovely but why did you guys make your garden bed into the shape of a male appendage? Is it like an inside joke between you and your hubby? I know it would make my husband and I giggle every time we saw it. 😅 but, that’s just because we’re both still in middle school mentally lol

I love daylilies and this video has provided much needed information with easy to follow instructions. Thank you.

thank you for your help!!!

can you please recommend any mail order nurseries? I'm looking for Delosperma Razzle Dazzle and Arizona Apricot blanket. Thanks for your help. I enjoy and find your posts very informative.

I always say Aphid, A rhyming with able, ace etc.

Great info!

Great video and information on each drought tolerant plant. We have only watered the flowerbeds twice so far this year in Ireland. We have a lot of fairly drought tolerant plants in our garden like agapanthus, alstroemeria, salvia nemorosa caradonnas, daylilies, lilies, crocosmias, coneflowers, coreopsis, rudbeckia, gaura, gaillardia, cosmos, ice plants, salvia shrubs, phygelius, shasta daisies, campanula, centaurea, acanthus bears breechs and African daisies.

Laura the plants are gorgeous!!! May I make a recommendation ( as your enabling friend 😂): Nepeta chartreuse on the loose!!! It is gorgeous and the color is yellowish chartreuse and it would contrast really well with both the blue and green plants plus the purple flowers create such an amazing contrast!! A must try!!! I bought two and boy, so they glow! Thank you for your wonderful video 🌸

Very good information
