Seriously, every video I watch of this man costs me an average of £20 of mail order plants.
I'm mostly here for the crunching gravel sounds.
haha im so glad im not the only one who walks around my garden or even out in nature like this , getting sidetracked and excited about the plants.
There were pink Japanese anemones in the garden of my house in West Cork when I bought it and they give me a beautiful cottage garden every year with virtually no input from me. Yes, they tend to fall over later in the year, especially because it's windy here, but they just need a little bit of support around the outside of the beds. The flowers last until the first hard frost in November, and when I chop them back in December the new growth for next year is already starting. Between them and nasturtiums, and the wild ox-eye daisies that grow in the ditches around here in May, all I have to do is stand back and let nature do its thing. And the pollinators love them.
Your gardens are so lovely. I appreciate your honesty in evaluating the plants.
My grandma is quite fond of Japanese anemones. They have taken over a garden and have been popping up all over the yard in different gardens. She calls them her Enemies. She tries to rip them out but the bees just love them so she can't do it if they're still in bloom...and by that time she lets them reseed and it starts all over.
Love Anemone in the fall.
Cool!! I wondered if you had featured my garden anemones when your video began. I was pleasantly surprised that you did. I have had the pink one in the ground a few places. But, it’s too vigorous in those small groupings. I’ve rethought and I’m going to move it to an open area so it can be enjoyed better. I bought a pot of Honoré last spring at a nursery sale. Almost lost it due to drought. Someone missed watering it daily. I caught it just in the nick of time and prayed it back to life. I was so happy the day I peered into it’s pot and saw that a little sprig of greenery had re-emerged. I am so excited to have seen a glimpse of your specimen and learned of cultivation strategies. You have definitely provided excellent insight. Thank you so ever kindly for sharing your passion with us.
This made me picture the many gardens in your area that , a couple of decades since your planting , have become wall to wall anemones !
That Honorine Jobert is out of this world. Thanks for your lovely tours and direction. I'm putting in a new border garden and have been inspired to use my own creative sensibilities, which is so much fun!!
I’m in London and getting hold of these plants costs so much and here you have so many. I’m envious
My favourite plants , well I have a few, but this definitely in my top 5 :)
I have planted so many of them and I love Honorine Jobert the most. But, while they market them as deer resistant, the deer here leave the foliage alone, but eat the flowers. I do good to get to see even 1 or 2 blooms a year off mine. Dang deer. Very helpful to see the comparison between rudbeckia Goldsturm and the helianthus.
I just planted one and wanted to them in someone's garden. Thanks!
love anemones , lovely garden 🙂🌈🦋
OMG! Your garden is beautiful.
Hi another fantastic informative video. As usual I learnt lots. John does cheer me up and make me laugh. Many Thanks Natalie 😀
I WISHED my Japanese anemones 'Honorine Jobert' would spread more, as they are so beautiful and about the only thing that flowers in my very shady garden.
let's hear some more about John as a young gardener. did you own a landscaping company before having a nursery?
He said he worked in nurseries in Germany in one of his videos
He has great energy now so I could imagine him at 20 or 30
My new favourite Subscription! Always brings a smile to my face 🤗😀😅😀💗
I just saw a blue anemone for the first time the other day, and had to watch your vid about them, im so glad i can refer to your vids! I had to pause watching this vid (early morn), to tend to dogs and plants, now i can enjoy watching your vids while having my breakfast! 😍
Would have loved some close ups of the blooms ! Lovely video
love this
I find that Honorine Jobert does not run riot in light soil, though the others certainly do. PS Lovely garden. PPS Where there's a will, there's a way - make time to dead-head. It makes such a difference.
5.10 Anemone comes from the greek word anemos (ανεμος) meaning wind and moni (μονη) meaning alone (female).
Lovely blue geraniums.
Love Japanese Anemones particularly the single flowers; unfortunately although I planted a few including Honorine Jobert no success but perhaps they will pop up one day and surprise me. At the moment I would be delighted if they ran rampant lol!
If you can find where you planted take root cuttings cut inch long lay flat just cover up they will come just a thought
@@grahamthomas6283 Ah! Thank you for that advice, I will see what I can find.
Just FYI...your camera lens is in need of a good cleaning. Beautiful flowers!
Excellent, thank you!
😂You Just brigthen up my morning, thank you
In central Indiana anenomes are a nightmare. Most invasive perennial I ever planted.(Those persicarias are amazing.)
He is so ADD its fun to watch
My anenomes are no way as prolific in flowering as these. They have max. 10 florets on each stem and stand up straight in semi sun and flower better with some wet not dry conditions. Reliable and pest free but you'd need to give them some boundaries like some rocks around them to contain the running root system. Easy to divide and move around.
They look beautiful in your garden, but in my garden here in Melbourne Australia, Japanese anemones are a weed, with roots forever lurking under the soil. As soon as I take my eye off them (under the soil!) they pop up again as leaves and if they get to flower, I feel demoralised. So I cannot bring myself to like them, let alone love them. Give me 1000 Rudbeckia goldsturms and I will give you a thousand Japanese anemone roots, lurking under the soil, waiting to pounce! :) Somehow you can control them, but unfortunately, I cannot.
Hi john are you the owner and where abouts are you in Ireland GT plants and information thanks for your time 🐞🐦👍👍👍👍
I’m I sunny dry Oakland California where water 💦 very expensive. I have a few but they like a lot of water here. So unfortunately much of what you showplace doesn’t work. But that said I love your show and one day plan to move to Washington or Oregon where water is not an issue. I love your show
Hi Robrick. I live in Spain with similar climate and thinking of putting them in my garden. Are they in full sun or half shade? Full sun here is hell. How do they grow (despite of the water necessities) with your dry climate? Cheers, Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Valerio hi Ana they can grow in full sun but they perform best in morning sun until about 12 o’clock is the best. They love rich moist soil kind of stays moist soil, not wet. As Jon said they will spread very very rapidly they’re kind of invasive in moist soil but they’re very beautiful very very very easy to grow and they give you a spectacular fall color where many other plants are starting to prepare for winter. Most of the plants he showcases are very easy to grow the only problem is is where I live in California water is very very very expensive my water bills like $350 every two months and that’s only on a quarter of an acre and they only tried to water my Japanese maples etc. other things I plants that don’t require regular watering. Don’t you just love John. I’d love to live in an area that water wasn’t an issue and have such a lush garden that they have that he has in Ireland
They grow very well. I kind a let them dry out but during the fall it’s easy to tell when they need water because the flower heads get a little droopy which says hey I’m thirsty and I give them water and they perk right back up so yes they do very well in this climate there like daylilies they do much better if you give them some water
Yes, he is very funny. Thank you so much for answering. Here the water is not so expensive although it should... I've got dripping water which helps me a lot in summer . Without it everything would die. Again thanks for being so kind. So difficult to get on with this climate.
Ana-Maria Valerio if you don’t mind me asking what part of Spain are you in? Because water not an issue is like an endless supply of ice cream to me I’m getting ready to retire I don’t know if you think know anything about the California bay area where is super super expensive to live here and I’m looking into even Argentina at selling my house and moving somewhere that is much more affordable and would allow me to live like a king ha ha
Thank you taught me something but most of all made me laugh (I can't say anemone either.)
I love them but find the white one a little boring, if it was flowering in June it’d be a stunner but at this time of the year I think you need some richer colours
PS. tell the camera pan to give his lens a quick polish 😂
I pronounce it here in canada anne-e-mone
Hi John, You mentioned your earlier gardening career. Were you in Germany in your youth?
Anemones have the virtue of blooming after the main summer show has gone by but they can be a thug. Your garden is lovely and inspiring. Good video but tell the videographer to clean his lens... looks like water spots.
I don’t like them just because the run a mock a come up between the paving
Music is far to loud at start
My Honorine Jobert is beautiful but totally out of control. How do I divide these. It would make a wonderful hedge I’m thinking.
