Ahhh now I’ve got plant envy. Love that variegated persicaria and the Stuttgart canna. Garden is looking great and your plants seem way ahead than most of us, my plants are all 2 months behind where they would normally be this year. Cold wet spring and really cold June until this week. Such a cold wet windy Slowwww start to summer in England but praying to the sun gods for some decent periods of warmth 😎🌸🙏
Thank you. The Persicaria Virginiana Variegata is the best it’s ever looked. It’s nice to finally get some weather that feels like summers finally here.
Garden looks amazing! Thanks for the tour. I have a "Charlie Boy" cordyline also, lovely plant, but have seen first hand what a fairly mild winter will do to them! A stump with new shoots!
Hi and thank goodness you. Regarding the Cordyline Charlie boy. I did say in the video that they can be cut back to the ground and reshoot from the base about -4 to -5. Saying that I know of ones that have taken these temps with hardly any damage at all. Hardyness is dependent on so many variables that sometimes it’s best to just be safe and grow them in pots and bring into a greenhouse for winter. Cheers b
It's funny, I'm probably at the the same point you were years ago. I'm not the biggest fun of arid beds and I really don't spiky plants. But I know how things develop and tastes change. I have a reasonable size lawn, but I did say to the missus originally, "you do know the lawn will get smaller and smaller and the plants will take over?". She kind of accepts this and even said I should double the Gunnera and tree fern area, which was definitely needed. I do intend to keep a good part of the lawn for the moment, it allows me see all the plants from the kitchen windows in the borders. But gardens should always be evolving over time.
Hi. Yeah to be honest years ago I thought agaves were horrible plants and I couldn’t understand why people would want to grow them. Now over the years seeing how other gardeners have used them I now find them very sculptural and feel they can add Character to a garden if used well.
You might like Begonia 'Garden Angel Blush' as it would complement your colour scheme and is hardy. I am enjoying your videos - very informative about the plants and the design.
Thank you. I’ve just had a look at Angel Blush. I think I may have one very similar that I didn’t know the name of. It’s a nice looking Begonia especially as it’s hardy. Cheers.
Great impromptu video. I came back from the open garden with some agaves , I love them , but not sure where I'm going to plant them because of the grandchildren. When you see how spectacular they can look, you want to try and achieve something similar. I think I will be keeping mine small in pots on a bench. I bought an angels wings last year that I loved, planted it and it just kept bothering me, I felt it just didn't go, you'll have to see if thr hydrangea grows on you
I hate Hydrangeas but that one looks great. I see it over here in North America being sold as Tuxedo. I think it may be a little jarring to the eye because it so different from the other plants around it. If you added in 2 more down that path on either side I think it would blend in a bit better and maybe you’d think better of it. I do really like your circular lawn. If it were my place and I was compelled to add more plants I’d probably do a circular island dead center to keep with your overall design aesthetic.
Thanks for the feedback. The lawn suits my lifestyle at present but I also can’t say for sure that I wouldn’t create a circular island bed in the middle in the future. The joys of gardening. Cheers.
I always love your videos, so many fabulous plants and groupings. Your very much a plantaholic like myself. I'm sitting here in my conservatory at 7am looking out at my garden thinking it's starting to look worth a short video. Mine always tend to be unscripted and I always forget plant names...But that's my age lol. I have a brassiopsis fabsoidies in a large pot bought a few months ago, what size was yours when you planted it? I'm not planning on planting mine till next spring. I've had my kalopanex planted since the autumn and is looking considering it took a couple of nights of -9 last winter. Its put on 18inch of growth this year so far.😊
Thank you. The Brassaiopsis Fatsioides has been planted about 3 weeks so not long. I debated keeping it in a pot but then thought I wanted it to reach its full potential so I will protect it if the winters are bad.
That Persicaria at 7 min mark is awesome. Can you comment back to me the spelling of the species it is I was struggling to figure out the spelling. Would like to try and find some. As always things looking good in your garden
The whole garden looks amazing apart from the large grass desert bed in the centre 😁. Think it needs more agaves
Thank you. I think I need a bigger garden.

I like that hydrangea it ties with the dark leaves opposite!
Thank you. I’m still not sure.
Black hydrangea and varigated persicaria really set that brassiaopsis off mate . Stick with it. Looks great
Cheers. I will stick with it for now.

A pop of colour from the hydrangea. Love it. Your garden is so beautiful. 😊
Thank you so much 😊
😂😂😂 unbelievable I swear I was literally thinking wookiee when looking at that palm so you must be right
Cheers. The palms a hybrid so maybe it’s part Wookiee

Hi. It’s Persicaria Virginiana Variegata.
I do believe the Brug is a Brugmansia candesensa variegata 'Maya'
Thank you. I’ve had a look and I think you could be correct. When it flowers I will check the colour. Cheers.
Black leaf hydrangea maybe is a Dark Angel or Dare Devil variety ?
Hi. I’ve just found the name for the Hydrangea. It’s from the Black Diamond collection and it’s called Teller after Midnight. Thank you.
@@tikitropicals65 thank you for your verification.
Beautiful garden by the way.
