New Perennials for the Sun and Shade garden/Garden Style nw

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] oh you Mama [Music] hi everybody Debbie here with Garden style so today I'm going to cover with you several perennials that I have put into the ground uh some for shade some for Sun and teach you a little bit about them and give you some options as we start to move into the month of June it's all about the perennials uh I call June perennial month because that's usually when I plant the majority of the perennials that I need to fill holes with things cuz I'm over the annuals got most of those in of course you can always tuck a few more in here and there but for the most part the containers are planted and now I'm ready to just start walking the yard and filling up some holes that I have on this big piece of property that I have so anyway I'm going to introduce you to one right now and this one is meant for the shade so here we go so this first plant I'm going to introduce you to is an a cantha or bears breaches um it's gotten its name but this one is a variegated version and I absolutely love it for the shade garden simply because I put a couple of them in here they light it up um with their really bright foliage now this particular specimen is called a canthus Whitewater kind of an appropriate name for it and I love them because later on in the summer they will get really tall blooms Bloom spikes on them and they last for six to seven weeks so it'll make a pretty dramatic statement uh in this particular Shea garden and you can see that this one already is starting to form a bud on it so I'm like really excited so Bears breaches or a canthus also comes in dark green and I really got to love this plant simply because once it becomes established it can be very drought tolerant in the shade so it's great for dry shade uh but it can handle some moisture I find they're just they're very tough um and this particular one will take part shade to shade so as you can see it's getting a little bit of light but it's really late in the evening um so it doesn't seem to bother it any but this guy is Hardy down to Zone 7 um and it actually is a good idea to let it dry between waterings it can get about 24 to 36 in high and that's probably including the spikes that it gets on it and it will bloom in the summer so so it's nice to have something that not only blooms in the shade but does it a little bit later after spring so just wanted to introduce you to this guy um yeah he can get 24 to 36 in high and 18 to 24 in wide uh so I'm really looking forward to seeing those since I'm here I just thought I would introduce you to a little fun thing that um I'm starting to play with this year but I was given two old containers here and took advantage of a tree stump that's currently sitting here that needed something so I took one and set it on top and I planted some uh Snap Dragons in the back there and of course bopa which will drape over the sides and in this bottom one I kind of tipped it over and planted uh impatience in here just to create like a little river of flowers down here see that so we'll see how that turns out later on in the summer once everything has filled in but you know it's fun get out here and start getting creative with certain areas of your yart but this is a shade garden that I'm currently building and working on and uh this is what I came up with for this little spot okay so this next specimen is a really neat plant that I've never grown before so I'm giving it a try this year but look at the coloration on here this is a Lupin and as you could see there are the real neat leaves um that come up on it and this is a flower that blooms from the bottom up as you can see right there and this particular variety is called Manhattan Lights um so I've kind of become enamored with them because they'll take sun to part shade and that's exactly what happens over here in this bed it'll get sun for about 4 hours maybe five um as we get into you know full-on summer here but uh it seems to thrive and do really well so just going to show you the T here cuz I of course always save them but yeah Manhattan Lights is the name of it uh I would call this a must have plant um it hasn't passed the test here yet in my garden but we'll certainly follow up by next year to let you know how they're doing but this particular plant will take um exposure of sun to part shade it is Hardy down to Zone 4 this is another one where you can let it get dry between waterings that's of course once it's established and it'll get get about 36 in high and this will Bloom late spring early summer so that's that one and then the other one that I am trying which will be right next door here and I just put them in today but this particular variety is kind of sitting right near it and this is called Masterpiece loopin and it's not blooming right now but that gives you an idea what they look like so it's kind of purple with a red Center on it with all the spikes which I just thought was super cool and again Sun depart shade height 30 24 to 36 in and you know Hardy down to Zone 4 and once they start blooming they stay blooming for quite a while so I had a spot over here in my sun depart shade garden where the dayes Thrive they do very well here but needed some filler plants and so that's what I've put in here along the edge so I wanted to introduce you to those um Masterpiece as well as the other one that I just showed you so loopin what a great way to go for a sun depart shade garden so here's another newbie for me this year and I really like the neon foliage um that this one carries and this is called Summer Sunshine germander uh for those of you who aren't familiar with ger Manders it is actually an herb a lot of people use them in herb notot gardens that kind of thing which you can see I started putting them in here to Edge the border of this bed and this is purely an experiment this is a brand new plant for me and I just wanted to introduce it to you folks so that maybe you can try it this is another one that will take sun toart shade at least for to 5 hours of Sun if you want to get the blooms on them they only get about 12 in high and 18 in wide uh they're very drought tolerant once they get established which I desperately need along the border here uh something that can handle some dryness cuz we are sitting underneath a whole lot of trees right here so it has a tendency to dry out uh let's see it's also Evergreen so this doesn't die back like a lot of them this should hold its leaves being it's Hardy down to zone five um so so here's another new one that I'm giving a try but this will also bloom in the summer I'm going to hold up the tag here for you it'll have a pink Bloom on it it's deer resistant of course attracts bees and butterflies and they're fragrant so what a neat plant but the bright yellow leaves in Spring will fade to kind of a chartreuse in the summer and that's when the short spikes of pink flowers will start to appear so this is also a good candidate for Rock Gardens as well being it is is very drought tolerant but I have it edging the beds here and uh we'll see how it goes okay so here's another perennial that I planted last year and I actually added some more into the garden here you can kind of see where their dark foliage is and this is a heliopsis and I was so impressed with how quickly they came back especially after a very harsh winter that we just had and they were one of the first things to appear in the garden and they have put on a lot of size so this is called bleeding hearts heliopsis I'm going to show you the tag here so you get an idea what the flowers will look like but it's a beautiful kind of a a red russet red orange color um which look amazing against this dark foliage so this gets a little bit taller it's probably about 36 to 40 in high extremely hearty down to zone three uh very drought tolerant once it gets established and blooms forever it seems it started blooming for me last year oh I think it was in the end of June beginning of July and kept on blooming until the first Frost so I'm in love with this plant and I think I covered this last year in a video but I wanted to cover it again today just because it has really performed really well I have a a very hot sunny perennial bed here that gets fullon sun and you can see I've got cat mint blooming now and the arrows are starting to get started and a whole lot of other things in here that have buds on them but this is a garden that I usually really start to show off um in June and July that's when it really starts to come into its own but now we're already starting to see lots of blooms appearing lots of block starting to come up bbom uh pen stemon I have lots of drought tolerant type perennials in here so we'll definitely be covering this bed a lot uh especially during the summertime just so I can show you how everything is doing um in the summer garden so here's another drought tolerant perennial and I have quite a few varieties of it but this is a new one for me this year uh this is Prairie dusk Pence stemon uh and you can see that it's already starting to open up and start blooming and penin I'm telling you these things once they start blooming they don't quit all the way till the first Frost this is another really really fantastic perennial for a sunny garden and these will get about 3 ft tall by 2 ft wide another one that's super hearty down to zone three extremely drought tolerant once it's established blooms forever and uh yeah they show you the tag here they send up these fabulous pink spikes and of course the hummingbirds will be all over these as soon as they start to open up so that's another really awesome perennial for a hot summer bed as you can see the etopis are starting to strut their stuff um but both of them here have just now started to begin blooming and uh man I really love this particular shrub that's what I'm calling it it's actually a perennial but yeah it's gotten it's turned into a shrub they're doing exceptionally well here here's another plant that everybody should have in their garden and that is salvia and you can see already if you want a pollinator Garden there you go the bees absolutely love this stuff this is an older variety but extremely tolerant of our wet Winters and dry Summers and this one is called Salvia May night and this is its second year since I put it in and you can just see how outstanding the blooms are on this particular plant so another good one uh to Edge your borders with uh is May night Salvia you can't you can't lose as far as this is concerned this is also really Hardy down to Zone 4 so that's another reason it can survive our really wet winterers is it's a tough plant and this is another one that as long as you keep it deadheaded it will continue to keep blooming for you throughout the entire summer all right you guys there you go there's some more plants for you to try some perennials and just wanted to remind you folks that in about a week here I'll be doing my grow more in 24 for the month of June and I have a whole new bag of tricks that I want to introduce you to uh new plants things that we need to do during the month of June etc etc so I can't believe it it's like a few days away before we finally see the month of

meantime hope you guys have had a fabulous Memorial weekend um I know I did here it was cool and cloudy for a couple of days but now I'm finally able to get out here and finish planting up some things
