- In this Garden Tour, Garden Home Host P. Allen Smith takes you around the Main Cottage at Moss Mountain Farm to highlight some of the foundation plantings. Allen also shares some great container ideas, including some exotic plant varieties he calls his 'pets."
Topics Include:
Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'
Hemerocallis 'Happy Returns' (Daylily)
Gaura lindheimeri (Wandflower)
Ilex cornuta 'Needlepoint' (Holly)
Euonymus fortunei (Wintercreeper)
Viburnum macrocephalum (Chinese Snowball)
Lilium 'Black Beauty' (Oriental Lily)
Buxus 'Green Velvet' (Boxwood)
Punica granatum (Dwarf Pomegranate)
Sabel mino 'Palmetto'
Euonymus 'Coloratus' (Variegated Wintercreeper)
"The objective of a foundation garden is to accent the main entrance, complement the architectural style of the house, and draw attention away from irregularities, while keeping the plantings in the background. In a sense, foundation plants act as the backbone of the landscape design."
~ P. Allen Smith

You always have the perfect solution to a problem! 👊👊. I LOVE what you did with the viburnum/snowball bush. They just are so messy looking after blooming and cleaning up the lower trunks makes it look SO much better! I am gonna do that this weekend. And Allen...the Annabelles and the Vitex!! 🤓🤓 If I could only have two plants...it would be those two. The beautiful lavender colors and the cream and chartreuse have always made me swoon. BUT not limiting myself to two...I have filled my patio containers with a couple varieties of Russian Sage, catmint and lavender, which I rotate out into the big gardens as their blooms fade, and what fun THAT has been this summer! The bees 🐝 !! Thank you for the knowledge and the passion you share with us!

I have been watching the UK series Great British Gardens with Carol Klein and bemoaning how little Americans understand about gardening. Rule 1: foundation plantings set the frame and backdrop for specimen plants, thereby magnifying their impact and beauty. HEDGES, people! Then I watched this video and was reminded that Allen is one of the few who gets it!! This is beautiful art.
P. A. Smith is a wealth of plant wisdom and information. I always learn so much about gardening from him!
She just took a bath, it's about time. Loved that, too funny!
And he didn’t skip a beat! I had to pause and ask myself did he just say that?! lOL!
I could watch your garden tours for hours with no breaks Mr. Smith! It's great to see the mature versions of some of the new plants in my new garden.
By the way a client of mine took a trip to follow you on a guided tour. She loved it. She said the wealth of knowledge this man has is amazing.
JOY, joy, joy... this video made me happy, gave me peace. your videos are just the ticket, thank you !
Allen, how wonderful is your garden😮. Thank you for the
tour 😊❤

OMG, I’ve seen nothing so beautiful! I sure want to visit Moss Mountain, it’s on my bucket list
Mr. Smith, wonderful, colorful and informative tour as always. If I lived at Moss Mountain, I would be outside all spring and summer. 😍
Hello sir! I’m rewatching this episode from last year. I ordered my day lilies and peonies from GHW and planted them this past fall and looking forward to seeing them grow. I’ve grown so much in knowledge from your teaching and looking forward to more!
I love watching your garden tour. I wish it would been a little longer 😁😁🤗. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful. Thank you. I hope to visit someday!
Watching from Ireland. Love our beautiful home and garden. I'm sure I can use some of those plants here. Thank you and God Bless.
We have a new home and soon new garden! And we can’t wait to incorporate so many of your wonderful garden ideas and as always great knowledge. 😃💐💚💚💚💚💚💚
Such beauty! I love learning about garden ideas for small spaces. I didn’t realize you can pot hydrangeas👍🏻😊🌻🌺🌸🍀☘️
Hi P. Allen I have learned so much watching your video boy I almost did cut back my flower buds yes I am learning.
I like your humor & fun spirit! Gardening is not only peaceful, but fun & healing. Love your vids. 🌺 Grew my 1st hibiscus! Been in Kansas City 1 yr now & able to grow them here.
I am so happy I found your channel! Such great info!
Lovely! Thank you for sharing your ideas and gardens with us. It gives me inspiration and ways to bring a creative touch in my landscaping.
Thank you Laura.
Fantastic plantings and tour. Thanks so much!
This was very informative! Thank you so much for the tips, especially for the lace top hydrangea! Now I know why mine hasn't bloomed
I remember you and victory garden on PBS
I did not know that rhododendrons set bud for next year. Thank you for the tip! I added it to my plant diary.
Thank you for the very pleasant and informative tour❣️❣️
Watched this video for the second time. I like the guara that is planted in front of the daffodils.
What a beautiful tour!
Such great information. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic deals. Love the gardens.
Love the Annabelle hydrangea. Creates a living wall along one side of my deck. The deer discourage planting daylillies & I find the Japanese beetles are attracted to the Gaura as ethereal as they look.
Love your shows from Australia very well explain
Love your garden. It's beautiful! Thank you for sharing the plants' names. It's very helpful. New subscriber.
Beautiful gardens.
Love this. You're very lucky to live in a cool climate. A lot of this stuff doesn't do well in Houston, Texas, but I enjoy watching and hope one day I can live up there!
Great variety of plants
I love these kind of tours. So very informative and great tips throughout!
I found a “Miss Molly” compact butterfly bush. I am so excited to plant it in my garden. Glad that it is a drawf one so it will fit right in. Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful shrub. My very favorite pink color too! 🌺🌺🌺
I'm glad you are finding them helpful! 💚
Love your show.
I hope you be available for me when I need to extend my garden Mr Smith♥️♥️.
I love these videos, please make more!
Thank you! Learned so much!💟
This is the first video of yours I've come across but I can already tell I'm going to be watching a lot!
i always learn something from your videos
Your yard is so awesome 👌
Love your tour❤️
Thanks for the info and tour.
I love lilacs and other flowering shrubs but native wild flowers ❤️ I always gravitate towards in my garden.
Lol it’s like the hydrangea are a pet the way he handles them
Great video so helpful 👍
Thank you P. Allen. I came home from work longing for some garden time. Of course it is dark. But there you are with a new tour. I got my garden time! Love your use of Gaura, the movement in the wind. Like grasses, but more ethereal.
And thank you for the subtitles. The Southernese of the Latin sometimes makes it difficult to look up your varieties.
I'm glad you got your garden time! 🤗💚
Beautiful
Love, love, love!!
💚
You've really been a huge influence on my gardening here in SE MO.
Thank you Patton. 💚
I'm gonna have to make a plan to.visit in the Fall for my bday in October... I'm sure it's a totally different look and feel.
I designed some pots for a friend, I used your, saying when I was suggesting flowers and greenery.."Spiller, filler, and thriller..I was sure to give you credit 😍😉🌞👍
you inspire me. thanks
Wow, thanks 💚
Awesome!!
Thanks.Great video.The idea of the reservoir is truly amazing.Water conservation is so important.👍💧

Hahaha..looks like she needed a bath.. Beautiful gardens!
Annabelle hydrangeas send out runners/roots so that if you have any open ground you will soon have another shrub. I dug out five this summer. I only planted two. They also have roots that grab the soil like claws. I've never had a harder job removing a shrub.
I'm a beginner as of this season and have killed most of my container plants lol I have a black thumb. Watching your videos is a learning experience. Thank you
rockmom h you can do it! 🌱
🙏🌷
I really like your videos! Can you do more closeups of the plants? Thanks!!
"Presto" is right...and when the landscape crews tear thru shearing chopping those lovely hedges..there I am scooping up the cuttings to root and grow elegant luxurious shrubs that cost me nothing but patience. I may be poor...but never look like it in my garden. Lol
Excellent idea!
Loving your channel . You share so much valuable information.
I have a QUESTION about roses that were in the garden when we bought our home 3 years ago. They are sending out shoots from below the graft. I've been cutting them back but they keep coming. The graft is way above the soil. Would you direct me to where this problem is discussed? Thank you in advance. Gratefully. 🙏🕊
Thank you for the wonderful tour. Could you tell me what do you feed the hydrangeas? Be well.
There are pretty much wild Yarrow plants up in Big Bear, CA. When we scratch some of the petals of the white Yarrow flower, it smells like Bactine ( the older brand of topical Antiseptic) is the Yarrow used in this antiseptic spray...if you may know the answer that is, thank you.
Love it! ❤️👍🏻 What would be a good perennial for a large container in zone 6? A continuous bloomer would be great! 😀

P. Allen, how many gardeners do you have.? It’s beautiful property
🍃Thank you really good info! 🍃 I have Annabelle Hyd that get too heavy and fall over in June . How would you suggest I prevent that? And also the deer demolished mine this year 😑 any tips on keeping them away?!
I plant purple cone flower in front of my Annabelles 🌸
Thanks again , for all the info 😊 I'll have to save this video in my folder
*Note to self : Don't trim Azaleas back after July 1 *
Love the gara does it bloom all summer or just in spring? Also does that come in pink?
Your vitex are spectacular! Wonder what Annabelles would be like around the base of them?😉
🤔😀💚
Old English Garden Tour : czcams.com/video/CrcdGn9elOM/video.html | One Garden Center, Recycles wooden flats from colorscaping, covers
w/ fine chicken wire/ sphagnum moss and plants out one side with annuals-houseplants, hooks up to drip irrigation. Colorscaping would affix to the wooden flats and grow and spill out over the flat, trailing between 24”-36”. Remind me of today world of Living Wall Garden landscapes. Yesteryears, planted out flats would sell between $100-$250 per flat. My favorites: Nemesia, staghorn ferns, trailing dichondra, impatiens, tuber begonias, dwarf coleus, caladiums. Finished flats were perfect for small entryways, courtyard and patios. | Many fine home gardens are on the May Garden Tour: HeardsGardenTour.com
😊🙌💞
I have a row of Green Velvet boxwoods and some of the leaves of those at the end of the row turn brown over the winter. This winter I am going to try using Wilt-Pruf to try to protect them. I am looking for any other suggestions.
Allen, What is the “rule”? Is it better to underpin the foundation planting colors and spread towards the curbing or property entry. Or start at the entryway toward the home. Which is most appealing? I have to work with plants that are successful in hot weather but tolerate frost. All lantana is tiring.Thank you.
I like that you don't sheer your Loropetalum. I'm surprised that you don't have many Japanese maples.
I cut my plant a few years ago and now the flower has not come back. What can I do to encourage them to bloom?
I have a problem!! When I moved to my new house last year i found hydrangeas and at that time they where all full of flowers. I didn't know anything about hydrangeas at that time either that some bloom in old wood or new wood, so I cut them all the way back!!🙁 that same year in Fall. This summer I got only one flower !! In one hydrangea and the rest which I have 6 plants, I got none! NONE flowers!! Only one single flower out of all my 6 hydrangeas.!! I'm thinking my hydrangeas bloom in old wood. So I won't cut anything this upcoming fall!! But my question is!! Would they bloom next year for me eventhough I'm not cutting anything anymore??.Since I cut the bloom from all of them last year!!Now I'm also all the way in Chicago and I don't know if my hydrangeas are the right type ,because we have harsh winters. I have heard some people telling me that those types of hydrangeas in harsh winter even though they put growth in old wood in harsh winter will die all the way back to the ground and they'll come back next spring from the ground but won't produce any flowers for me. Is that trurh??? I would like to know because I really want to keep them and make them bloom!! But if it's necessary and won't bloom for me because of my zone. I will change them!! To the right type!! HELP PLEASE!!
just wanted to ask if you know what to do about orange fuzzy worms on my white blooming cherry tree? please help.
love this video ! what hydrangea would you suggest to put on a hill that is full sun?
I would suggest looking into panicle hydrangeas. Thanks for watching!
@@PAllenSmith Thank you Allen .
Hi Allen, do you have any ideea what happen with my Annabelles Hydrangea.? Is the second year that happens. The flowers disappear day by day until a point is left. I have a picture but I don’t know how to post it.sorry and thank you
If you put hydrangeas in containers do you need a certain type of potting soil?
Can you do an episode on flowering maple? Also known as chinese lantern and abutilon? There are not q good recent video of this plant. Thx
In next week's Garden Tour, I talk a little about it.
I have this plant, it's not hardy in my zone 6 so I keep in garage along with other plants and this was the only plant that was alive. Silly me was so excited I put it out too early and it looks bad. I had to return it to garage...hopefully it makes it..😥
What do you feed your potted lilies
How far apart did you plant the green velvet boxwoods to form the hedge? We have some going in today, would you say 2.5 feet or 3 feet?
Kella86 I’d probably do 2.5 if you want it to fill in quicker. Although they can get up to 4 wide. You can always trim them up.
