White Garden summer containers

Hello and welcome to the paths. In today's video, I'm going to turn around and create The driver was distracted on these roads at the beginning of the white roads. I am receiving several impossible networks, perennials, and networks too. add to all the Terracotta cafés. It's all different ways, I've reduced them I think I'd like them, but now is the time to adjust. My plant. Felly, I'm feeling sad and I need to say it. I'll tell you what I'm going to use today and what the children will use. That's just a few yards from the canteen a good network that is happening fully, Last week, in my class. Dim angen i'w ffynedi, The canteens are sinking lower. This is a cafeteria I've thought about in greater detail I would do one just like it. I will go through the children I have used On that or in that, then you have this lovely array of gorgeous white flowers—I have begonias. at the front here, which are my absolute favorite annuals—use them in every display every year got daisy plants, petunias, got a sinosio angel wings at the back, got a dahlia which has Now it's turned a shade of pink, though it has finished flowering; it did open white—lovely hydrangea. shrub that my husband bought me when he went to the supermarket, Sinosio Angel Wings, got some Fuchsias that I grew myself got a nice green compact shrub at the back, garden hydrangeas petunia, verbena, cosmos—quite a few more, so let's start planting the first container And we'll see how it goes; I'm starting with the easy one first, and I'm just adding some of this. slow-release fertilizer which is ideal for containers and baskets and provides six months of nourishment months of feed, which is more than enough in my short flowering climate, and the hydrangea is the first One I'm going to add now is one of those hydrangeas you buy from supermarkets. It's not a named variety, and they don't tend to last too long. I've tried planting these in the garden, and yes, they do grow, but trying to get them to flower again is really difficult These are the types of hydrangeas that you can also purchase at florist shops. When you go out looking for a gift for someone so very pretty, get them flowers for the season. And then, if you want to try growing them in the ground, give them a go. Tried it myself, failed miserably, but they're very pretty for the season now, all of these smaller ones. Containers are going to have only one variety of plant each, so let me plant all four of them. them, and I'll put you on a time-lapse, and you'll see what they look like at the end Next, in these two very small, shallow containers, I'm going to use this—um, I'm getting out the pot. This annual to me is an annual centuria mercury—how pretty is that? It's a bit pot-bound, so. We'll just give it a bit of a rough handling, and as usual, I'm going to add the Sorely's first lanza, and around this particular plant I am going to add very simple lobelia. This second shallow pot I've added the same centerpiece, the Centuria Mercury, but this time I've surrounded it with petunias; I think this is probably going to be the last container. And this one is pretty much on its last legs; I don't think it'll last another year. Never mind, I'm using it for this year's first plant, which is a cupressus, and this one is gold. Crest Wilma. Now I use these in all the containers I build every year, and the last one Four years I've had several in different positions around the garden, and this one putting it just slightly off-center at the back, growing to about three feet; it's not a particularly tall variety, however, I have seen It grows larger, but they do recommend it for containers, wall baskets, and things of that sort. So this one is going to the back; the next set of plants is this one. Now I love to buy these. Our garden centers and nurseries sell these every year; they're called Trixie pots, and they have three different annuals in them, and if you've never gotten around to growing your own annuals which I haven't this year—I've only managed to grow um cosmos and a few other things, but this does Trying to match one to the other side does provide a solution to that. and the garden centers are full of different variations of annuals and colors, and this one is called a white wedding. Next, I'm going to add one of my favorites again—probably my favorite. This is a perennial; this is Cenicio angel wings, and I love this plant—I have them in Several containers, and I'll show you at the end of the video the containers I made last year. and it makes a lovely central statement in the front of any container, hanging basket, or wall basket And I can actually get them through the window, believe it or not—on the ground, probably not. because they wouldn't like the wet conditions, but here in my mild climate I can easily get them through the winter, and last but not least, I'm filling in with a few other annuals. This is The end result uses all of the plants I had; still, there are some empty containers at the back. but I'll take a snapshot of each container now and I'll add them to the screen with all of the plants that I've used in each individual container, and then if you're interested in any You can scroll through, press pause, and take note of any of the plants now—there are quite a few. for those of you who've asked me about the containers I planted last summer, so let me just show you two that I have placed on either side of my potting table, and you can see they're just Doing fabulously—this one is fancy, a japonica spider as well, but the back cenicio angel wings It has ivy that's pretty much taken up by a pot, and then grass grows around the side. Here, which I think is Carex Feather Falls, and then I have the same container on the other side. With the same plants, there are also plenty of new leaves on the japonica spider, so they're both quite pretty. Happy both excelling, but now let's plant a hanging basket—I've got everything ready. Here, and I thought I'd do it quite close up so you can see how I plant it. First job: disconnect. the chain at one end—this one just attaches it here, but I've just used a small one A pair of pliers to disconnect it—it's so much easier when you come to hang it at the end. Secondly, I've already filled it full of compost, and I'm going to add the slow-release fertilizer. like I normally do in any of these summer containers, and then I'll start with the centerpiece, and I have two of these; I have a fuchsia that I've grown myself It's one of the few plants I've grown this year; it's a bit lopsided. It's probably not as good as what it would be if you bought one, but it will grow, and nobody would. Know the difference in a couple of months' time, and the next one I'm going to add is a geranium. Now you have to be careful when buying geraniums—this was a pack of four geraniums in one pot. and it was cheaper to buy it this way than to buy it or buy them as individual plants, so Much cheaper, and it didn't make any difference. When I pulled it apart, it hadn't even taken root. to the compost around it, so that is the centerpiece, then around the outside I have got three helichrysum, and I used these last year—these are pretty pot-bound, so make sure everything's well watered as well, because obviously hanging baskets are notorious for drying out, but I used Last year, three of these were enough in this basket, and I've got extra compost too, if I need it, so I'll just place them evenly around the outside—just break those roots up a little bit. Pot-bound one here on this side and then one at the back, and I do find it easier when I'm making hanger baskets to stand them on a container, and then you can just spin it around to your heart's content content and one at the back, so that's what we look like so far, and then I'm going to fill in with just one other plant and it's my favorite again, I used these last year and it is the begonia non-stop white and I'm just going to fill them in in between all of the helichrysum and you should get a good three or four, and depending on the size, these ones are quite Chunky, they're quite big, so I'll probably only get three in. Sometimes these helichrysum get in the way, and then probably just one or possibly two more. Now I've got two different packs here. because one of the packs I picked has a lot of lemon in, and I obviously, in the white garden, I Don't want to add a lemon, maybe get one more in here. Yeah, I do like to cram in as much as I can. They're only here for a short period of time, a couple of months, and that's basically it. This is the hanging basket I made a few days ago—it's already starting to fill out nicely. days, and I've hung the one I just completed today on the other side of the log store. This one looks a little bit empty, but give it a couple of weeks and you'll see how much it grows. The growth on it today in the last container is for shade, and this is pretty much full shade, tiny. a bit of brightness in the morning and late evening, but no sunshine, so it's very hard to Find annual flowers in this kind of situation—the rhododendrons are just about finished behind. All of the spring bulbs are now finished, so you really need to concentrate on foliage. and texture, but there are a few things you can plant, and this is an astilbe, and this is destined for the bog garden in autumn, but it's a lovely white one, and this will really brighten it up up this section, I've got two big shade borders on either side, and this is Astilbe white Astilbe Gloria Wist Gloria Astilbe Wist Gloria lovely white plumes of Flowers are very pretty. The next thing is a fern that I bought last winter, and you can see all of it. these dead fronds, all the dead foliage—a pound, that's all it was. And look at it—it's absolutely Stunning! Great time to buy perennials, ferns, and plants in autumn and winter at garden centers. are concentrating on Christmas, go and have a look at the bargain shelves to see if you can find Anything, this was such a great deal, and I got two of them. The only thing is, I don't know what they are. could be a dry Ophixerus or Polystichum; it's possibly a Polystichum, I don't know, but I've watering it every day because obviously I'm putting it in a container that will get a lot of water, and it doesn't seem to mind water, so it's obviously a fern, not necessarily for a dry one, um Situation: I'm going to plant that—oh, it's very root-bound. I'll just tease it apart a little bit. But again, this will go down in the stumpery in the autumn, so I intend to put that there. right at the front there, and hopefully that looks good. Um, next I have two um lovely hostas that were Given to me by a neighbor, um, these were young hostas, so I could put them in the front there. which I think would look really good, or to add a little more brightness, I could place it further away back and add a few of the white begonias because this is the only bedding plant that I know will flower with quite nice big blooms, non-stop white in this very shaded spot that never gets any sunshine, so I could put a few like that in the front, and I'll add the hosta further back And I'll place this hosta at the back, and I just think it's so pretty for a very shady spot. But that's it for today. I'll make another one of these for the other side, and I'll see you. Soon, thanks for watching, bye for now. Definitely my favorite two containers that I've made so far. This year I just love them—who would have thought?
