    For your lemony lane addition I vote NO to the hydrangeas - will be too much bulk for that area, Continue with your lemony plants instead, and consider adding a few clumps of butter and sugar Siberian iris for a vertical grass like foliage and beautiful delicate spring /early summer flowers .

    I would go with more of the lemon obelia at the end of lemon lane. I think they will look better by that tree than the larger hydrangeas especially when the tree gets bigger. More hydrangeas may be too much of a good thing. I would mix in a few bricks with the flagstones too on Lemon Lane to tie in with the patio area. 💖😊

    @sheripruett6370 Před rokem +4

    QOTD: I love hydrangea but I truly believe I would continue the lemon-lime theme. Maybe THIS is where you add a few of the Sunshine Ligustrums! I agree with another comment that it would brighten the space in that location and still be consistent for Lemon Lane!

    To complete White Wedding display, I would add 1-3 more (it's hard to tell space on a video) and then fill in spaces closer to the pathway with the shorter shrubs used on Lemon Lane. Great results in such a short time. Congratulations!

  • @gardeninggrandma5247
    @gardeninggrandma5247 Před rokem +13

    Even though it wasn't an option, I think I would go with Sunshine Ligustrum in the Lemon Lane area. Sunshine Ligustrum has a lemony quality to it, and I think it would blend in beautifully. 😃

    • @lindaheckert8495

    • @gardeninggrandma5247

      @@lindaheckert8495 It would create more continuity between the left side and the right side of the garden.

  • @clayhulands1528
    @clayhulands1528 Před rokem +20

    Hi Linda, in answer to your question of the day, I would continue the Miss Lemon Abelia. It draws the eye along the little stepping stone pathway and makes sense of it as a connection to the side passage. if you added a few of those Sunshine Ligustrum it would really brighten that spot, especially when your tree grows and casts more shade. I think the location of your White Wedding Hydrangea's, once they grow a touch will add height that will emphasise Lemon Lane as a little mysterious path to explore.

  • @katkat521
    @katkat521 Před rokem +9

    I vote for the hydrangea as long as it will thrive in shade once the redbud grows up. The low hanging branches of my hydrangeas are setting root so I have been able to cut the branch, transplant the baby plant, and share them with my parents. Free hydrangeas!

    @susanschellberg4509 Před rokem +7

    The hydrangheas are beautiful but I would continue with lemon lime nandinas and abelia. They would lead the eye around the corner. I've ordered many shrubs from Southern Living that I first heard about on your channel and Horttube. Everyone has arrived in excellent condition and all have thrived. Love there selection.

  • @heidijones1516
    @heidijones1516 Před rokem +6

    Hi Linda, how about one or two more of the hydrangeas on that end and then add as many of the lemony plantings as would make sense. Your front garden has grown so much in the past few months, it already looks lush and beautiful.

    For around the redbud, I would love more white wedding hydrangeas, but I think they might get too big, and look really crowded, so I think you need to continue with Lemon Lane. Love your skirt!!!

  • @suzanaforkapic3230
    @suzanaforkapic3230 Před rokem +3

    I vote YES to the beautiful white hydrangeas . It's the perfect filler there especially when the tree gets bigger and will lighten the "darker" area. The white will draw the eye all the way across the garden. I think it will add more unity and cohesion. Love love love it all.

    QOTD: More wedding hydrangeas IF you can plant them far enough away from the tree trunk that the hydrangeas won’t comprise the overall tree health. Or one more wedding hydrangea and one or two Miss Lemon abelia. Thank you for the detailed tour. 💪💪❤️❤️

    Although the white wedding hydrangeas are beautiful they are deciduous. Linda, you always love winter interest, so I would stay with the lemon lime nandinas which will still give a pop of color throughout the year. Good luck on your decision.

  • @stacy2476
    @stacy2476 Před rokem +4

    For lemon lane, I would like to see a couple more miss Lemon along the pavers, and a few sunshine lagustrum. They offer so much of that bright happy yellow. Perhaps just a few more hydrangeas just at the end of LL to add a few more of those lovelies

    Great video, Linda. Re QOTD: I think a mix of those fav's along that border with your neighbor will be nicer than only the gorgeous White Wedding Hydrangeas. To me, it would be too much of a kind of solid border. Personally, I love the variety that softens the look. Whatever you decide I know it will be stunning nonetheless as you are a design master. I got several compliments to my wild wooly cottage-y side yard garden this weekend thanks to so much I have learned from you. I felt so proud. 13 years of evolving effort and understanding. Year round interest is my goal, but it sure looks pretty right now...

    What a great way to cool off after working in the garden for hours. I really love watching you and Stewart.
    There's so much to do in the gardens after being gone for a week. Some plants did ok in our high temperatures with no rain, but others are looking dreadful. I'm liking a lot of your featured plant choices. I definitely need to add more heat and drought-tolerant perennials to the front borders. Thank you both for sharing your time and garden knowledge with us.

    Answer of the day. Mix of hydrangea and lemon, for winter interest I think the abelia would look nicer than just sticks. Also the pots by the brick fireplace…turn one so the pattern matches…or go with the way the plant looks better and ignore me 😂 everything looks great

  • @mkitchens8163
    @mkitchens8163 Před rokem +1

    I would continue with the abelia and possibly lemon lime nandina. If those hydrangeas stayed and 3 feet, I would say yes, but we all know how big those will get in a couple of years in zone 7B. I am using Little Lime Hydrangeas in my side yard, but plan to keep them "treed up" in the method you use to control size and bulk.
