Can you divide in the fall?

Thank you for a great video. I just bought one tonight and I am so excited to find the perfect spot in my garden. Would you say it requires full sun? I am transitioning to a cottage garden and this will be perfect. Can it be divided or should I collect seeds to get more of this plant? Have a great day!

I just bought one of these, it is so eye catching!

The tags may say zones 3-7 but I have been growing in zone 8b and my best luck seems to be with the blue ones with white eyes. I have some that have been in 22 inch containers for 8 years. I refresh the soil every other year and have permanent plant stakes. Other issues is slugs which I have to put slug bait down on a regular schedule throughout the growing season.

Thank you for sharing this new variety of delphiniums. I will look for them. I have the tall ones and they do require staking but they are oh so worth it. I also have found that they come back if I do not cut back anything and do clean up in the spring rather than fall. I will take a brown leaf off if it looks dead and messy but all in all I let my entire garden die down in winter for the pollinators. I also found that Guara comes back too and it used to die off and not return. I do not cut the dead foliage in fall until spring shoots start appearing. New subscriber, thank you for the video ~ happy gardening from Ontario Canada zone 6.

I always deadhead after blooming

If you a lot of them going, they tend to hold up better in the wind.

When type of my favorite plant can withstand very high heat?

No disrespect but this video became a bit sexual at 06:40 with the flower location and the gestures. Anyway, I like using coffee grounds in the soil around the plants to get the more purple-bluish color for my flowers.

Love your no nonsense, informative content!

Loving that!! So beautiful!!

Glad to find a New England channel!

While you're talking, do more close ups

Can you tell me the PH now of the blue/purple ones right now? You just added it once in the spring? That’s what is unclear how often to add.

Good tips thank you

Do you have a video on winter care? I’m in 7b and keep mine in the ground and have heard to leave the foliage or it will affect next year’s blooms but after a while the greens get a bit worn but not sure of how much and when they can be cleaned up. Thanks

I absolutely love planting the New England asters for my clients. I get the Purple Dome variety and it stays mounded and compact and looks almost like a mum! Great tips for maintaining the asters!

Thank you for showing us the different kinds of ground cover.

🎉🎉

I noticed you didn’t talk about staking when you planted your dahlia tubers. Do you stake them after they start growing and what do you stake them with?

Thanks for the info on seed starting . Do you have any information on starting heliotrope from seed? I swear I can't find a single video.

Amazing look in such a short time. 😍It is so helpful to study your plant placement in these types of beds. I am good with a long border, with tall in back, mid size in middle, small in front, but need practice with my rounded and oval areas to stagger heights so the views are pleasing from all sides of the non-linear beds. Thanks for the expert inspiration! Go Lisa Go! 🌷🌼🪴🤸‍♀💯Now, out to move some plants around to better positions. LOL

I have a 3 year old Kousa that is thriving and producing flowers but looks more like a bush than a tree. Should I take off the lower branches to expose the trunk?

Great info, especially the tip of turning long shears upside down! I think that tip will much improve my topiary efforts! If I have already missed the "chop" window, as our heat climate in NoCalif makes us about 1-2 months ahead of you, should I still reduce my asters by 1/3-1/2 after my first flush of blooms? Or, wait to do the whole "chop" properly, with the correct timing next year? Thanks for all you post on your channel, I look forward to your content! Your gardens and projects are real life and attainable, rather than some channels that are out of scale with what I have and a real gardener's budget!!

I prune, they die. Others say take down 6 to 12 inches. I have one younger rose, and will leave larger. Lets see.

WOW!! LOVELY!!

Goodness, ALL so beautiful!

This is a beautiful design! I love the plants you can grow in your zone...a little zone envy going on here...lol!! Thank you for sharing the update!

Lisa, do you have luck dividing echinacea ? I have some that are getting way taller and wider than their tags said they would be. (the high heat here in Chico CA 100+ must make them happy). For instance, I had to move all my 'Magnus' ,that I grew from seed, to the back of the borders, because they have reached 4 1/2 feet tall in their 3rd year!

Just discovered your channel and now I’m a subscriber. I planted a perennial two years ago, and it didn’t start growing well until now. I forgot what I planted so my Dad and friend had to tell me as they are experts at gardens and lawns. They said it’s a peony. 😊 I can’t wait until it blossoms!!

Can you propagate the perennial sweet pea by cuttings, or does it only grow from seeds? Thanks

Nice collection! I’m a big fan of Itohs. I just added a fern leaf peony to my collection this year…bit of an odd looking plant, but I had to get the whole range ha

Just One Bite -- is what farmers use to get rid of voles.

Hi! Thank you for the information. I’m going to try castor oil first as I really don’t want to add poisons into the ecosystem (if a hawk/cat/owl/etc would eat a poisoned vole…😢). Can I ask what the purpose of the soap is? I would think it would break down the oil (since that’s what dish soap is supposed to do). But I also know once heard that dish soap is used for other gardening applications too. Again, thank you!!

Great tip, but what is the name of that beautiful iris behind you?

So pretty!!

Such beautiful plant choices! I would love to see an update video on this space now that things have established 😊

What is this flower?

Don’t fertilize lilacs, but if you must-BONE MEAL. That’s it!!!

👍

Taking note!

Nice flowers thank love blue color I will pick up some but it very hard find up here in new yolk 👍thank you

Oooohhhh, thanks for featuring the Creme Fraiche Deutzia! I'll be on the lookout for one. I'm a soft touch for anything with variegated foliage.

- Hello, thank you for the instructional video, curiously they also remind me of my childhood and old, large houses with huge gardens where lilacs were the most important, I always realized that their color was from brick brown, dark and light violet to almost light blue and pink, but then I saw unscented white Lilacs, the dark colored ones were predominantly scented and now it is very difficult to find them, at least in my country. I would like to know what fertilizers to give them and at what time of year, and if they are made from common or acidic soil, thank you very much, congratulations. ( google translate) - Hola gracias por el vídeo instructivo, curiosamente también me recuerdan mi infancia y antiguas y grandes casas con jardines enormes donde las lilas eran las más importantes, siempre me di cuenta que su color era desde los tonos café ladrillo , violeta oscuro y claro hasta casi celeste y rosado, pero después vi Lilas blancas sin perfume , las de colores oscuros eran predominantemente perfumadas y ahora cuesta mucho encontrarlas por lo menos en mi país. Me gustaría saber qué abonos darles y en qué época del año además si son de tierra común o ácida , muchas gracias , felicidades. felicidades.

you could buy in home depot this mesh for gardening, has holes big enough to make your own custom rings. i normally use it make trails for my climbing flowers.

i came here because i struggle to keep them standing up.

I have lots of bunny eating in my garden and that phlox is one they leave alone here. I tend to have more problems with newly planted items. Many times if I protect them the first year, the same items in later years are left alone. My neighbor has a huge stand of larkspur but every place I planted it, the rabbits ate it. Surely we have the same rabbits! Frustrating.

You're not pruning, you're repotting, not helpful at all, you've mis-titled this video.:(

Woohoo! I just got an 'Endless Summer' hydrangea! Surprised to find this when I googled how to split it out of the pot!

I love the Woodland Phlox, beautiful color and smells good, too. I bought mine last year and a few more this year at Walmart in Minnesota. They came back nicely and thankfully the bunnies have left them alone. The bunnies ate the new aster growth instead but those are making a nice comeback, too. We don’t have a deer issue to deal with which makes it tougher for you, to have both. Nice video, looking forward to more updates.
