Small must have Spring blooming shrubs/Garden Style nw

[Music] hi I'm Kendall with Kendall's greenhouse and I'm Debbie with Garden style Northwest we're here at Sunny Crest nursery on the Key Peninsula Debbie's nursery and we're going to show you three shrubs that are great for our climate here in zone 8 B yes and we're going to try and let you know what they BL time is these will be smaller shrubs that you can put in your garden and give you some color up until the beginning of summer so today I'm going to be covering some shrubs early spring blooming shrubs so the very first one I want to talk about is just about to explode into bloom and this is called aduda and it is a Yuki Cherry Dua going to be your Vana White while you while you read about it got my helper here holding the shrub so to give you some information about it this is a very small short shrub it only gets one to 2 feet tall and just as wide and it will start blooming now and it actually hangs on to its blooms for at least six weeks so and it's beautiful and we're going to get a close-up view here of the shrub because you won't even be able to see the leaves once it goes into full bloom uh but let me tell you about some hardiness so it's Hardy from zone 5 to Zone 8 which basically it can handle - 20° uh but it doesn't like it too hot so Zone 8 is where they cut it off this particular shrub I have a couple of these in my own yard and I actually lined a path with them and once they come into bloom you're not going to notice anything else that's going on in the yard this particular variety is from Proven Winners um it's been with us for quite a while and there are several different varieties of dsia that you can get this one is the most popular just because it's it's got this kind of dark PR pink Bud on it and then it just blooms out into a real light pink very prolific Bloomer it's amazing um but there are other ones that are more in a white um and can be in different sizes but this by far is the most popular so dudia you got to look it up now because they're getting ready to go into bloom um but what an awesome shrub to add some spring color to the Garden do you always find it in this size container usually yes yeah and this is usually the best best way to buy them because their roots are um what can I say they just have a bigger root system so they take even better if you're going to make it into a hedge like in your yard it's so it just blooms in the spring and then is it kind of Evergreen through the fall uh yes is well not Evergreen fallish right it's deciduous so by the time it starts to get really cold it will drop all its leaves does it have any color or anything in the fall do you remember a little bit it's got you know a little bit of an auburn color to it but um um it's it's in its Glory usually in the spring okay right around Mother's Day so pretty just perfect this one has beautiful blooms we'll see if we can get those in focus for you did you say they lighten up they get lighter a bit uhhuh so they start out this pink the buds are so pretty like this dark pink and then they have kind of some strii stripes on the back of them man they are so pretty when they bloom out all the way okay we got to talk about W gilas oh my gosh I got I almost bought one last time cuz they're so pretty all right so our next winner winner this is a new variety of weila and this one is called Coco chill now this is probably an offset from Wine and Roses which has been around for a long time in the weila family but what I like about this one is he stays small and we're kind of talking about smaller shrubs today this one will get 3T wide by 3T tall and this is what they do the hummingbirds absolutely love this particular shrub because of its tubular flowers uh it's got the dark foliage so it really makes the flowers stand out this is hard from zone four to zone eight um and what else can I tell you about it besides the fact that it's outstanding and once the flowers are done you are down to the darker foliage but if you give them a really light trim you'll actually see some more flowers show up by the end of the summer so you can get get a second set of flowers out of this if you give it a trim right after it's done blooming but yeah Coco chill what a cool shrub how do you say weila everyone say weila everyone wants to say weila that's what I hear all there's no liia in it yeaha WIA I've heard sometimes I guess that's pretty close is easier so these blooms are really long you were talking about hummingbirds right yes so they have these long tubular flowers always like it mhm oh so our next rub we're going to talk about is called lime Mound Spa now as you can see through it chartreuse colored leaves that's probably the highlight of the shrub um so if you're looking for something to lighten up the Garden or something you want to see from a mile away across the yard this is your shrub now it also gets blooms on it and it's already started to make its buds here and they're kind of a pink foamy flower that it gets on the top of all its stems right here so it'll Bloom its little hard out and then when it's done I would recommend that you trim off all the old blooms just so you can keep this beautiful limey color now the cool thing about this shrub again is another small one it's only about 3 feet tall by 3et wide and this one's super Hardy from zone three to zone 9 so there's a lot of you out there that can handle a shrub like this uh and be able to grow it another great thing about Spas is once they're established they're extremely drought tall tolerant you will hardly ever have to water it once you have it established you only fertilize it once a year in the spring and it will do the rest and what I do with my spirea is in the very early spring before it even gets its leaves on it just because it's easier to trim it is get cut it down by about a third and that way you get all these luscious new stems that start coming out and it'll keep it dense and compact so there you go another cool shrub now I do have a cousin right over here ta a lot of people have been coming in asking for the bridal veil Spa well this is even better and the reason why I like this one better is it's more compact this one is called snow Mound spa and when it starts to get his balloons you're not even going to see the leaves it's just going to be like a big white pom pom ball sitting out there in the yard and this one will get bigger this one gets about 5T tall by 5T wide but I had to introduce this one to you cuz everyone's looking for a bridal veil and this one will actually outdo the old series of the spia and bridal veil just because it's more compact um it keeps its shape better and again it's Hardy from Zone 4 to Zone 8 so just had to show you his cousin and you can see the leaves are a lot smaller on this one but I already see a bazillion buds on the inside here so it's about ready to explode as well here in the next couple of weeks I love it when plants are all butted up it's like bottled up excitement right getting ready to explode at any minute it's kind of a limey green coming out and then more of like a golden golden yellow yellow on the tips and then the branches are kind of like a yeah has a kind of a red stem to it a red stem that's so pretty should we do like a bonus shade shrub absolutely everyone loves a bonus right let's do one of these do I even know what that is I always try to test myself before someone tells me what it is do I know what this is darn it I totally don't know what it is oh my gosh that's so funny okay so as a bonus we decided to throw in a shade loving shrub and this one is super cool this is called Pink Flamingo and it's a willow believe it or not this is a willow shrub it doesn't flower at all but it doesn't even need to cuz all its new growth will come out in this light pink which gradually turns to White and then turns into this variegated leaf that you see here on the bottom of the shrub this has become a super popular shade shrub for us it doesn't need any light whatsoever but it can take some it'll take morning light at least three or four hours of Morning Sun but you definitely want it in the shade by the time you get to 12 1:00 in the afternoon now this particular regular shrub will get about 4 to 5T tall it's Hardy down to Zone 4 to Zone 8 so it's a perfect Northwest shrub simply because if you have a damp area anywhere in your yard this is the plant to get it can handle wet feet it can handle real wet areas as most Willows can and these are super easy to propagate by the way but its most outstanding part is the colorful foliage that it has and what I do is when it gets its initial flush of new growth and it starts to get a little wiry like Willows do I'll cut it back a little bit and then it'll flush out again with all new growth just so you can keep this really cool pink white kind of look to the shrub and it'll keep them kind of real dense and compact so pink flamingo Willows you've got to go to your nurseries and find one of these they're fantastic for the shade do you sell any pink flamingos here the actual pink flamingo actual pink flamingo so put this in your garden instead of the plastic in plastic a pig FL oh my gosh yeah let me see I cannot believe that is a willow that is so pretty isn't it gorgeous so you want to cut this one back because then it'll just get even more okay and then this is the spring flesh exactly and then it'll all kind of turn this yes MH to the very oh my gosh I'm in love with mine at home I just am in love I might end up with one of these today you can see how they brighten up the shade automatically yeah that is so pretty it's funny cuz I go to like this to brighten up shade and I don't usually go to like more white pink yeah it's cuz it's hard to find I guess that's true looking around yeah that is so pretty so we're just noticing how good these look together including the weila and the dsia over here and then this is an amazing combination please someone do this in your garden in and take a picture and show it to us cuz this would be just beautiful the dark and the light it's beautiful do you think they'd Bloom sequentially like this one would bloom in than this one very similar this kind of gets going first and then the Spy Rio will start blooming a little later there's some succession shrub planting advice for you so someone please do this the dark and the light contrast is gorgeous we could tuck in um like the other Green from the other Spa too right and then we'd have oh my gosh let's get that okay how many plants can we hold in our hands together thank you for joining us for this shrub video we're trying to hold all the plants in our hands for you but it's can't quite happen sorry
