I totally get you on the daylillies, it is a dilemnia😮
Gaaaaden, love it ❤
I’ll take that entire cart and put them in a shady place ❤😂
I have three firelight tidbits and they’re amazing. I hope you love yours as much as I love mine.
Hi Meaghan! Oh that's so great to hear, I'm happy they are doing well for you. I hope mine do just as well 💚
Love the blooper! Gaaaahhhden too funny! 😂 I love those hydrangeas, the color will be magnificent!
Wow Steph! You weren't kidding when you said that flower bed stays pretty moist! 😮 I love the new firelight tidbit hydrangeas! 😍
It definitely needs work Mary. On the to-do list for this Fall. Thank you!! 😊
I don't know about the Wee Whites but the Firelight blooms start off green turn to white and finally turn to rosy shades of pink. Love 'em.
I think you will love the new hydrangeas.
😂 Gahden - I laughed so hard at this !!
🤪🤣
Your garden is so gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing !!! I love the hydrangeas ..so pretty too!!
Thank you so much 😊
I’m removing my day Lillie’s too. They get so crispy looking.
Your blooper. 😂 love it! These will do amazing!
Thank you Amanda!! 😁 Sometimes the accent just wants to slip out.
Hi Stef🌺 . These hydrangeas looks amazing they will be so beautiful in this place . Have anice day .🌺🌻🌺
Thank you so much Lina!
Home Depot is a great source for online plants - the free shipping is great and I've never had a problem with the condition of the plant. I think the Firelight Tidbit's will be gorgeous in your space♥
Hi Robyn! I agree, so far I've had great luck with their plants. Thank you so much💚
I love your gah-den Steph! Fellow Massachusetts person here :)
lol Thanks Marybeth! We're in good company here with our accents 😉💚
Your garden looks amazing! Great video! 🤗❤☀
Thanks so much! 😊
I have also had good luck with Home Depot online plant purchases. Great prices and great quality. They impressed me!
Agreed! A lot of major nurseries sell through them to save on internet search costs.
That's great! I agree 🥰
You're right about the Wee White's. Mine grow in shade (maybe 2 hours of sun) and are doing great.
I love my firelight tidbits. They are in full sun and do well and are loaded with blooms each year. They turn pink and are so beautiful.
That sounds lovely Linda! This makes me happy to hear. Looking forward to watching mine grow💚
Tidbits are going to be gorgeous !
They look beautiful Steph 🥰🥰
Thank you Jasmine! 🤗
I’ve only had to water my flower beds three times this whole year. It’s been wonderful! And I always love your videos!
Hi Pat, Its been a great season for rain. We've been fortunate this year. Thank you so much 😊
The shape of the blooms on those tidbits are stunning. Looks like I need to add that to my wishlist. ❤
I planted a incrediball hydrangea this spring and it’s just starting to bloom and put on some new growth for me can’t wait to see what these look like In your garden in the next few seasons 😍
Enjoy your incrediball Anthony! 🌱
Free shipping! Bonus. I think those new hydrangeas are going to look awesome. Great video Steph.
🏵Beautiful Steph!💐
Thank you so much 😊
If anyone is interested Garden Crossings has a really good mail order plant business that ships all over the country and they also have a CZcams channel.
Yes Heidi is very knowledgeable about the plants. They are a proven winners signature garden
She (Heidi)
also did a video a little while back going over the different varieties of hydrangeas, and she declared Firelight Tidbit to be her favorite out of all of them. I saved her recommendation, and plan to add these to my foundation border, to replace my knock out roses that will eventually succumb to rose rosette disease…..
There are a lot of disappointed people who think full sun means ... FULL SUN. Therefore I think the plant tags on all these hydrangeas need to be more descriptive, such as zone 2-7 zones 5-7 plant in afternoon shade. I would hate to see any hydrangea in FULL sun in my Missouri summer sun... maybe a cactus lol
Love the accent sneaking out! 😂
I'm really excited to see how these look when they are bigger!
😁 it happens sometimes, lol. Thank you so much!!
This is a beautiful garden.thanks for sharing
Thanks for visiting!
When my day lilyfoliage turns brown I cut them down and the foliage pops right back. Love your channel and beautiful gardens and information
Hi Cathy! I have done that in the past. I agree, they definitely bounce back beautifully with new healthy foliage. I think between the foliage turning brown, and having protect them from the deer eating them, I'm just ready to give most of them a new home in someone elses garden. Open up some space to try some new things. Thank you so much for your kind words about my channel & garden. Thanks for being here 💚
Nice and compact great for my small garden
They seem to be a great and beautiful hydrangea. I'm excited to have them 🥰
Thank you so much for the advice about getting plants from Home Depot- our closest Home Depot is 2 hours away, and our Lowe’s has almost nothing right now... ❤ from ND!
I planted one Firelight Tidbit last year and added two more this year. I'm also evaluating whether or not to keep daylilies.
Steph when my day lilys start looking ratty I just cut them down. Some times harshly with a weed wacker or mower. They spring right back and look new like an ornamental grass.
I’m fascinated by that idea. My yellow day lillies are just done blooming and I have a wonderful hedge of the on the back side of my oak tree with proven winner begonias in front with a little grouping of mini hostas right around the tree. But it takes quite awhile to go in and clean them all up. It looks really nice but if you can simply cut them down and have them flush back that seems much easier
Thank you!😊
You're welcome Karen, thanks for watching 😊
Awesome 🤩 I’m looking for some small varieties of Hydrangeas now you gave me an idea on what to look for 😊Everything looks great in your garden.
Hi Jaimely! I'm excited to try these and I'm looking forward to growing them. There's also the newer "tiny quick fire" by @provenwinners that I'm looking forward to trying at some point.
Those Firelight Tidbits will be beautiful I’m with you on the daylillies I’m considering replacing them as well.
Good decision, will look great next year.
Thank you so much Marie! I'm looking forward to watching them grow🌱
Hey Steph! Beautiful space! One idea for your gorgeous daylilies is to hide the foliage behind some other plants. 🌻
Thank you so much! yes, that's a great tip! Certainly helps to hide the foliage.
We cut our lily's back each yr and plant flowers to add color. By doing this you don't have to remove the lily's. We plant Jumbo begonias
Great tip! That must look gorgeous!!
Giggled at the blooper! Gaaaaaaaden! LOL 😉
🤪🤣
The blooper cracked me up! I love your accent. Like when you say nepeta. But that really cracked me up when you said good lord Steph! 😂
Hi Delainey! Thank you so much! Sometimes that accent wants to escape lol 😂💚
I love my tidbits! Funny, I had those same beautiful deep pink day lilies. Really like the flowers but then I agree with you, I couldn’t stand the foliage after they bloomed. Gave them away.
I don’t have any hydrangeas. Need to get one. That’s a pretty flower bed.
Those firelights will look lovely there. I ordered the Proven Winners soil through Home Depot. 😊
Thank you Kim! I'm excited to see how they do 😊
I bot a white clethra OMG. Bees & butterflies were all over it. 3 gallon soooooooo fragrant. Will get more. $50, BEAUTIFUL, can't even get near to mulch.
Very interesting video👑❤️🔥
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
I just planted 3 fire light tidbit hydrangeas in the sun!😊
Nice! We can see how they do for us over the next couple of seasons 🌱
Thank you for talking about the Wee White hydrangeas issues…I thought it was only mine caused by user error !😂
I’m going to replace mine also…if something in the garden doesn’t make us happy, out it goes 😂😂
Hi Jeannette! your welcome. From another comment I received, sounds like they do well with only a couple hours of morning sun, and afternoon shade. I agree, I am happy to give plants away to a new home where they can live happily and make room for other things that can thrive in my garden 💚
You might want to save some of the day lilies. You can hide them behind evergreens and only the blooms will peek out. I moved most of mine to the woods edge where they get little sun. They bloom fine (if the deer don’t get them).
Hi there! I'm going to keep a couple varieties. Thanks for the suggestion, I may do that.
Thanks for sharing. Am currently thinking of getting some incrediballs but your video has me rethinking due to the amount of sunlight the area will get. Lots of full sun. I already have a firelight tidbit that I got last summer and it has grown quite a bit from it’s quart size and has lots of beautiful blooms.😊
My little lime punch is also doing great! Love the panicles!
Incrediballs do wonderful in full sun...they start out green and then turn white and then turn green. I have had mine for years and no brown heads. They do need occasionally watered when there hasn't been rain for a few days. They are big, but if you have the room they are gorgeous.
@@kater8730thank you😊
Hi Steven! Thank you for sharing. I've been interested in the little lime punch so thanks for sharing that yours is doing great. I'm excited to see my firelight tidbits grow. From what I've read here on a couple of comments, some peoples incrediballs do well in sun. Perhaps it was just the wee whites. I've also had a couple of comments mention that they do well in a couple hours of morning sun and afternoon shade. Hope this helps you decide. Thank you!
I too, am getting rid of my day lilies, I don’t like how they start getting brown my mid July.
BoBo hydrangeas have worked really well for me.
I have some also Deborah, they are gorgeous! 🌱😊
The gawden looks great! 😂 Too funny. Are you a Boston girl?
Lol yes, we're in Massachusetts about 1 hour south of Boston. So the accent likes to creep in here and there. Usually with the words "gahden" and "prunahs" 🙄🤪
The daylillies woukd look better against a stone wall at the back of a garden....but I understand you finding them a bit messy looking after theyve flowered.
Your soil looks great...holds water well.😊
Hi Jo! I agree with you, that would be great placement. I wish I had a fence or wall I could try them near. Oh yes, this soil is a bit too wet. I've asked my husband to help me with a bit of a drainage improvement project this fall. Hoping that will help with drainage. As for the quality of the soil, yes its pretty nice. Its all the years of planting, moving and replanting and adding new soil amendments each time lol. Thanks for watching and for your comment Jo 😊💚
I have a Firelight Tidbit in full sun on the patio in a pot and it does great. I am curious about what you did with the Wee White Hydrangeas. I just plant five of them in a spot that gets afternoon shade and filtered light the rest of the day with a little bit of morning sun. I too have had great luck with ordering thru Home Depot.
Hi Brenda! I passed the wee white hydrangeas along to a gardener friend. I didn't have a place in mind, or alot of shade at the moment. Rather than have them sit around and wait for a spot, I gave them to someone else to plant. You sound like you have found great light conditions for them in your garden 💚
You don't need to get rid of your daylilies. After they are done blooming, cut off the scapes and give the leaves a haircut. It gets rid of those browning leaf tips.
Hi Kim, Yes, thats a good point. I have done this and even made a video about it last season. I think I'm ready to just keep a couple and pass the others along to open up space to try a few new things next season. Thank you for watching, and for you comment 😊
I hope you are relocating the other hydrangeas you removed, they were beautiful…
I gave them to a friend who has more shade than me. I am always happy to pass along a plant to a new home when I can't find a suitable spot for them 💚
@@HookedandRooted you are a nice friend.
These tidbit hydrangeas are so pretty and the other's were also. I bet those firelight tidbit hydrangeas are going to sooooooooo beautiful when they grow for awhile, can't wait to see them even next year.❤
Thank you Judy! I can't wait to see them mature in my garden 💚
What's happening to the wee whites? I understand your dilemma with the daylillies, but at least you have blooms--mine we're totally gobbled. Enjoy while you have them!!
Hi Cyndi, I gave the wee whites to a friend for her garden.
Home Depot always has free shipping on their plants, I believe they come directly from Walter’s Gardens and Garden crossings in Michigan.
Hi! I've been really happy ordering plants from them. Thanks for watching, and for your comment.😊
@@HookedandRooted Your welcome, I’m recovering from triple bypass surgery, your content has been a great comfort; and I look forward to the fall content as I’m having spine surgery in August.
@fromseedtobloommedia9340 oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope your on the mend. I'm so glad I'm able to bring you some entertainment and comfort during your recovery 💚 take it easy and best wishes for a successful spinal surgery and quick recovery 🙏
Hi, Steph: You didn't say what you are doing with the Hydrangeas that you removed. Are you relocating them somewhere else in your yard? Also, I love the compost blend that you mentioned from Maine. It's a little pricey, but it is well worth it.
Hi there! The wee white hydrangeas I ended up gifting to a gardener friend. I didn't have. Spot picked out for them, and didn't want to risk them being out of the ground too long. I also am pretty limited on shade yet, so I thought they were best to pass along 😊
@@HookedandRooted Your gardener friend must have been thrilled! They are beautiful plants that need the right conditions, and they will thrive!!! ❣❣
Excellent video. Can you let me know where can I buy compost for the plants??
I am in zone 6b ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi there, Thank you! I buy my bagged compost at a local hardware store, local nursery, or local garden center at a home improvement store. Hope this helps.
ANYWAYS FRIEND.....JESUS CHRIST STEPH.... 'GAWDEN'.....LIKE IT'S SUCH A STRETCH!!😅❤
Hello, i live in Ga. Been almost a 100 degrees everyday here. But i have the lime light hydrangeas and they just grow really tall and what few blooms i get they just lay on the ground. Do you know when to trim? Not to trim. to get blooms that will stand up and not just look like any ole green bush? Thanks so much
Hi Holly! I usually prune my little limes end of winter beginning of spring. So sometimes in March, usually. I mostly prune off all of the real twiggy growth that couldn't support the weight of those big bloom heads. I think they take some time to firm up and become stronger, the stems. But Over time it should get less floppy as the shrub grows and ages. With that said, even though my little limes are over 3 years in ground now, I still get some flopping with heavy rains. The blooms are so large that they hold on to lots of water, and so once they become weighted down, they hang low. After it rains you can gently shake off some of the excess water, and as they shrub dries, most of the hanging branches start to perk up again. Getting enough sun can also help them stay more upright, and hydrangeas in general like water. Are yours getting enough water during those warm temps? They could be drooping from heat too. Some things to consider. Hope this helps.
Steph I need your help!!!
We rederlt bought a little vacation home into a lake community. And I’d love to plant a couple of little lime lights to fill the space. However, I’m confused how to place them based on the shape of the space, would you be able to give me some pointers ?! Please!!!
Hi there! Little limes are great (I have a drift/hedge of 3), they get to be 3-5ft tall and wide. Depending on how much space you have would depend on how many to plant. If you want them to fill in as a grouping or stand alone as a focal point plant. If you needed a smaller panicle hydrangea, i planted some firelight tidbits last season on this video you commented on. Hope this helps 🌱
I planted 2 of these tidbits this spring. While there’s no sign of distress, there’s also no sign of bloom development at this point. Will these bloom first year?
Hi there! I would guess there should be some bloom buds. Perhaps just a but early yet. They might be starting the budding any day now. Mine came from a greenhouse, and usually those plants are a little ahead.
Did you replant the wee whites somewhere with more shade?
Hi Becky! I gave them to a friend to plant in her garden.
I looked but I couldn’t find a location for you. What zone and state so I can know if that will work in full sun for me in zone 6b/7a Oklahoma sun?
Hi Angela, It says in my video description. I'm in Massachusetts, gardening zone 6b. Yes, I do beleive that the firelight tidbits would work for you.
@@HookedandRooted I’m sorry I looked and I guess I missed it! I would probably put it in partial shade then. Our summers are brutal. We’ve been over 100* for a month now. I have just the place for them!
Did you replant the Wee White Hydrangea?
Hi there, no I gave them to a gardening friend with more shade. She was happy to add them to her garden, and I was happy they found a new home.
Are you keeping the hydrangeas you took out?
Hi Liz, I wasn't sure where to put them as I dont have much shade yet. I also didnt want them to potentially get to stressed waiting in the gorilla cart, so I gave them to a gardener friend for her garden.
Another reason your wee whites look like that is too much water. They need to dry out completely
That could also be a possibility. Thank you!
