00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Coming to you from Studio A here at Proven Winners

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Color Choice Shrubs. It's time for the Gardening Simplified Show

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.279
<v Speaker 1>with Stacy, Hervella me, Rick Weist, and our engineer and

4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>producer Adrianna Robinson Stacy. Today we talk about hanging baskets.

5
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>It's Mother's Day weekend and so hanging baskets are kind

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>of a big deal. They were a big deal, I

7
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>guess to King Nebekenezzar and Babylon way back when the

8
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 1>famous hanging gardens where allegedly hanging baskets got their start.

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 1>May baskets were a big deal back in the eighteen

10
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 1>hundreds and nineteen hundreds. People would fill little baskets with

11
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>candies and cut flowers and hang them on the door

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>knob of their neighbor.

13
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the tradition we should bring back. That's quite lovely.

14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we should exactly. And then, of course the

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Saturday before Mother's Day and garden centers is considered basket

16
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>because well, what are you gonna get for mom? And

17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 1>a hanging basket, of course, is a great gift. IDEA.

18
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>One flower that sticks out in my mind because when

19
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I first started out in the garden center industry years ago,

20
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>we would sell all kinds of them, still do today.

21
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>But it made a great Mother's Day hanging basket. And

22
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that is Fuchio's.

23
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh yep, classic choice. And you know, attract hummingbirds. So

24
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>if mom likes hummingbirds, can't go wrong with a fusia.

25
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Although I will say I did buy my mom fusia

26
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>hanging baskets for many years and she didn't love them

27
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>because they need a dead heading.

28
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, So even though they.

29
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Did attract hummingbirds and that was great. And also if

30
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 2>depending on where you live, if it gets really hot

31
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in the summer, they will kind of slow down, yes,

32
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and not be as fabulous. But I'll tell you fusha

33
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>flowers are some of the prettiest flowers. And the colors

34
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>are just irresistible.

35
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you can give them a little bit of shade,

36
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you can get upright and pendulating. There's a cultivar out

37
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>called black Key Midnight. Have a picture for our YouTube

38
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>viewers of that. There's eruptions all different types of fusia cultivars.

39
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>And then of course I also love bogonia baskets. You

40
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>can get tubris, fibrous rex, bogonias pendulating begonias. Bogonia foliage,

41
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>by the way, if you're growing them in a hanging basket,

42
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>are notorious for deflecting irrigation. Water. Yeah, I think you're

43
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 1>watering that basket, but it's deflecting off the off the foliage.

44
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>And then of course angel wing bogonias also have become

45
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 1>very popular over the past.

46
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so like Bonfire and all of those fabulous choices.

47
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Right colors though on Bonfire, which I actually love best,

48
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>bright orange, al switch tracks, hummingbirds.

49
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly. Now, when you purchase a hanging basket or

50
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>give one to mom, most hanging baskets you'll find in

51
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>garden centers come in a plastic ten inch basket.

52
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to give that a thumbs down. Same here,

53
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>because I don't buy that kind for my mom.

54
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 1>And so what I want you to do, and that's fabulous,

55
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Your mom is lucky. What I want to do is

56
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>just point out to people that there's nothing wrong with

57
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>upsizing those. In other words, I view those ten inch

58
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 1>poly baskets as a delivery container, similar to how you

59
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>would go to the grocery store and let's say buy

60
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>cool whip. Okay, yeah, cool whip invented in the nineteen sixties.

61
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>To this day, we still do not know what non

62
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>dairy cool whip is made of. But that's a whole

63
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>other story. I like cool whip containers because I can

64
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 1>store nuts and bolts and nails and that kind of stuff.

65
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>So what do you do with that ten inch hanging basket?

66
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Because I like to upsize into a twelve inch, fourteen

67
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 1>inch or sixteen inch basket, maybe a Sphagnum moss basket,

68
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>or just go online and look, there are a multitude

69
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 1>of great twelve to sixteen inch sized baskets that you

70
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>can purchase to upsize your your hanging basket.

71
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Right and upscale it. I think that's really important too,

72
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>because you know that plastic container in most scenarios where

73
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>you're hanging a hanging basket, that container is like right

74
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>and eye level, so you're looking not at this fabulous plant,

75
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>but this kind of junkie white molded like these weird waves,

76
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of containers. And I understand that's the

77
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>lowest cost for garden centers and that's why they do that,

78
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 2>But I always do prefer to get my mom a

79
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>bigger hanging basket that's in more of the moss type

80
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>or even the cardboard, the cord fiber, yeah, that pressed

81
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>cord fiber even, that's just something that looks a little

82
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>bit more organic, so that while the hanging basket is

83
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>growing out, and most do eventually grow out, that's kind

84
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>of why they're hanging baskets, because they're big plants that

85
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>are going to overgrow the basket in time. It just

86
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>looks a little you know, more organic and nice. But

87
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great idea to invest in really

88
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 2>high quality hanging back baskets which aren't going to cost

89
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 2>that much, that go with your decor of your home,

90
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and that you can plant into every single year, and

91
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>that's always going to look a lot nicer. And that's

92
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>a good way to save the money by buying the

93
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>inexpensive plastic hanging basket, but give it more of that upscale.

94
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Look exactly how I feel. And then when you do that,

95
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>make sure to use a good quality, lightweight potting mix

96
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 1>or soil where you can upsize into that basket. You

97
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>could consider using soil moist granules, just a few granules

98
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 1>in the soil to help hold the moisture in because

99
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the key aspects of hanging baskets. If you're

100
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>buying one of these ten inch hanging baskets and hanging

101
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that thing up, is that as the season progresses, the

102
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>root system develops and creates a firm or solid surface

103
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 1>along the top. Also, if the soil dries a little bit,

104
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it contracts away from the side of the pot, then

105
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you're watering that pot. It's running across the surface down

106
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 1>the sides and not getting the rootball.

107
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>What never really saturating it. Yeah.

108
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So when growing hanging baskets, I'd love to just

109
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 1>walk along and lift up on them. Tell by the

110
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>weight of the basket whether or not it needs moisture.

111
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 1>And I like to keep a screwdriver handy because I

112
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>just puncture some holes to basically cut into that surface

113
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>tension and stacy. You're going to have a lot easier

114
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>job watering your hanging basket.

115
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And you know, for anyone who is listening who

116
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 2>is getting this into their head, for the love of

117
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 2>your mother or anyone else important in your life, do

118
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>not put a diaper in a hanging basket in an

119
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>attempt to make it hold more water. No matter what

120
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>you've seen on interest or any other social media site,

121
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 2>any parent can tell you that a diaper is intended

122
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>to hold onto moisture and not release it. And that

123
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 2>is exactly what's going to happen in your hanging basket.

124
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Is you're going to have a really gross, dirty dipe

125
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>that is just full of soil and water that is

126
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 2>not doing anything for your planet except actually taking away

127
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 2>space that could have been soiled that could have actually

128
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 2>helped it. So, no matter what you've read, and a man,

129
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I tell you off topic, but I feel like the

130
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>misinformation on social media right now is just going through

131
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>like a wildfire. It's just we are in the season,

132
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>So don't believe everything that you hear. And please, if

133
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 2>you are repotting a hanging basket, do not put a

134
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>diaper in it.

135
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Instead, you should pamper your baskets.

136
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly. That's a good idea.

137
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Coming up in segment four today we will talk about

138
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>plants that are great in hanging baskets, because I think

139
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 1>you should pot up your own hanging baskets. Combinations are

140
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>great proven winners. On their website has countless recipes that

141
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 1>you can tap into where you take two or three

142
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>different types of plants and plant them, some of them

143
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>quite simple. I love the vista view you recipe. I

144
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>use it every year. It's just three different types of supertunias,

145
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>including the bubblegum supertunia. But boy do they perform as

146
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 1>a hanging basket. So we'll talk about that. We're also

147
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about on a different subject, tulips and

148
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the different types of tulips. Now that they're in bloom,

149
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 1>you can see the different types of tulips that you

150
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>could grow in your garden. We'll also talk about that

151
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>in segment for today. While we're on this subject of

152
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 1>hanging baskets, and I think this is a subject stacy

153
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that probably you and I both have very strong opinions on.

154
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you a limb a rick that I

155
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 1>wrote about hanging baskets. It's called the basket case. My

156
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 1>baskets hang around my place, hung without enough headspace. Be

157
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>very careful where you tread. You're liable to bonk your

158
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>head and become a basket case. So if your head

159
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you clobber, take some asp for that throbber. Don't be upset.

160
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Get a grip, because that basket is next going to

161
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 1>drip on your clean white shirt. It will slob.

162
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>You know.

163
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Again, Having worked in the garden center industry for years, Stacy,

164
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had a dime for every time I've

165
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 1>walked into a hanging basket or bunked my head on one.

166
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, or that feeling when it drips down and

167
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 2>it goes right down the back of your neck and

168
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>down your shirts is not good. So all of that

169
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 2>is to say at home, if you're having guests or

170
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>you're planning to hang out on your patio or porch

171
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>later in the day, do the watering in the morning.

172
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Let them drain through and avoid that whole mess.

173
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And another suggestion, get yourself a good watering wand.

174
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 1>So if you are not installing drip irrigation on these

175
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 1>hanging baskets, get a good quality watering wand. And the

176
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>very first thing you do, at least I do, is

177
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I take that watering wand, I pull out the cheap

178
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>washer that's in there, and I put in a good

179
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>quality rubber washer. Because there's nothing worse than holding that

180
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>watering wand up and having that water run right down

181
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>your arm, into your armpits down your side and it's

182
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 1>cold and it's miserable.

183
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, a hanging basket watering wand is

184
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>a life changer, Like if you don't have one, you

185
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 2>will not believe how much easier it is to care

186
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>for that. So if you are looking up to looking

187
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>to up your Mother's Day gift game, you know, maybe

188
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 2>think about that hanging basket watering wand instead of just

189
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 2>the hanging basket. If you feel like you know, hey

190
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>two into hanging baskets. I'm getting moum watering wand this year.

191
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>She will so appreciate it.

192
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I love it. Put a bow on it. Stacy's next

193

201
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, you know, I've been thinking about trying to change

202
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 2>up my greeting and I've been puzzling over it, and

203
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 2>i was like, is this going to be the day

204
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna give it a whirl,

205
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>and it yeah, it obviously did not feel natural. So

206
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>greetings gardening friends, and welcome back to the Gardening Simplified Show,

207
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 2>where for the time being, I will be sticking with

208
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 2>my traditional welcoming greeting. Obviously, Happy Mother's Day. Yes, Happy

209
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Mother's Day to my wonderful mom, uh and to moms everywhere.

210
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're talking about hanging baskets because it

211
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>is a classic gift. And I think one of the

212
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 2>reasons that a hanging basket is such a classic gift

213
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>for mom is because they do tend to be little

214
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 2>bit more expensive. Yes, you know, and whether or not

215
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 2>your mom really considers herself a gardener, it is a

216
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Especially a big nice one is a bit

217
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of a splurge.

218
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>But they're grab and go. It's easy. Pick out a

219
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 1>couple nice ones, grab and go, one in each hand.

220
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's why we talked about in the first segment

221
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>that's wonderful. It's a delivery container. But think about upsize well.

222
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 2>And the other part of it too, is that you're

223
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.840
<v Speaker 2>not giving mom work. Now some of our moms are

224
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.039
<v Speaker 2>gardeners and are happy to you know, get a bunch

225
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>of fabulous Proven Winns annuals and get to work planting

226
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>them in their planters and pots or whatever. But a

227
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of them are not, and they want something beautiful,

228
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and that that's the great thing is it's a grab

229
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>and go. You give that hanging basket to mom, you

230
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>hang it up on the hanger for and you know,

231
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>your work there is done and she gets to enjoy

232
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a fabulous hanging basket all season long. Now, obviously, you

233
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 2>know this show is primarily about Proven Winners colored Choice shrubs,

234
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>so we do have a vested interest in Proven winners.

235
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>But I will say honestly that when it comes to

236
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>hanging baskets, Proven Winners plants in a hanging basket are

237
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>usually pretty clearly denoted. They either have the tags in

238
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 2>them or a special hanging basket tag. And you know,

239
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 2>if if this is your first time tuning in, it

240
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>is really worth mentioning that all of the Proven Winner's annuals,

241
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.080
<v Speaker 2>all of the Proven Winner's plants in general, but this

242
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>is especially important for Proven Winners annuals, and talking about

243
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>hanging baskets, Uh, they are all tested to really outperform

244
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>what is already on the market. So you know, we've

245
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>talked numerous times about say, super Tunia Vista bubble Gum petunia,

246
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 2>which is super popular, probably the best selling proven winners,

247
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 2>uh you know, annual, And the reason for that is

248
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 2>because it doesn't need dead heading. So your mom might say, oh,

249
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't like petunias. They need dead heading, they smell terrible.

250
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Super Tunia Vista bubble Gum doesn't need dead heading. So

251
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 2>you're choosing plants that will actually perform better and bloom

252
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>all summer for mom and not just one of those

253
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 2>ones that are going to peter out. And then you know,

254
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>your mom's like, well, that was a crummy hanging basket.

255
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 2>So they really do make the better choice. I'm not

256
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 2>just saying that because I work here. I'm saying that

257
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>because I know the process and everything that goes into them.

258
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not only do the plants have great genetics, but

259
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 1>the plants are tested, as you said, and even the

260
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>recipes and the combinations are also tested and proven, and

261
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 1>so you can proceed forward with confidence.

262
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's important too, because sometimes you get a

263
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.960
<v Speaker 2>fabulous looking hanging basket in may and the plants don't

264
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.519
<v Speaker 2>all kind of grow at the same rate, and then something,

265
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>some really important key element of it gets totally overwhelmed

266
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and it disappears and you're like, oh, wait, wasn't there

267
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 2>like this other plant in there. So they are like

268
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.879
<v Speaker 2>really scientifically tested to make sure that all of the

269
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>plants in there are compatible and will give you that

270
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>nice colorful look all season loss it will look like

271
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.440
<v Speaker 2>what you bought, which is important. But when it comes

272
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 2>to hanging baskets, shrubs, which we usually talk about here

273
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>on Plants on trial, not the first plant that comes

274
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to mind. I mean, if you stretch your imagination, you

275
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 2>can say, okay, well maybe like ivy. Ivy is in theory,

276
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually not ivy is a woody plant, though of course

277
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 2>in hanging baskets they don't ever really reach that point

278
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>where they're actually putting on woody growth. That's probably as

279
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>close as you could find, generally speaking, to any kind

280
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 2>of shrub or woody plant truly woody plant in a

281
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>hanging basket, and over the years we have definitely experimented

282
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 2>with different plants in hanging baskets in our R and

283
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.519
<v Speaker 2>D facility research and development, trying to find out if

284
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 2>there are other plants that we can put in a

285
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 2>hanging basket and you know, make that a more interesting

286
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>way to kind of decorate and enjoy plants. And most

287
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>of them have not been successful because generally speaking, with

288
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.399
<v Speaker 2>these woody plants, they want to grow up, and so

289
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:42.879
<v Speaker 2>when you try to put them in a hanging basket,

290
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>which you want to grow usually down and have that

291
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 2>cascading effect, they won't do that. They'll just grow up

292
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and they'll try to cling to the basket hangers and

293
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 2>it just does not work out that well. But there

294
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 2>is one major exception, and that is well one of

295
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.639
<v Speaker 2>them is today's plant on trial. The major exception fairy

296
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 2>trail cascade hydranges. Love that plant, so you can kind

297
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 2>of guess by the name right there, trail and cascade.

298
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.240
<v Speaker 2>These are hydrangeas that naturally grow with a very cascading

299
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of trailing habit. And the first and original plant,

300
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.480
<v Speaker 2>which has actually already been a plant on trial, was

301
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>fairy trail bride cascade hydrangea. And this was a plant

302
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>on trial a little over a year ago, and it

303
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 2>was the first one in the series. And this is

304
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>a plant that was sold in the EU and the

305
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>UK as Runaway Bride hydrangea. So Runaway Bride got a

306
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 2>ton of notoriety because it won in twenty eighteen the

307
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year and people went

308
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>bonkers for it. They had never seen anything like it,

309
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 2>and it was not actually available in the US until

310
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>we were able to get the rights to it in

311
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 2>about twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. So it's a

312
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>fairly recent plant to be available here in the US,

313
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.919
<v Speaker 2>and we're really thrilled about that. And you know, it

314
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>is actually developed. Some people might not know this by Ushiosakazaki,

315
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 2>who is the same plant breeder who developed the Supertunia

316
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Vista series too Supertunia Vista bubblegum All time bestseller, Proven

317
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Winners annual. He also developed Fairy Trail Bride, so you

318
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 2>know it's got some serious chops with his talents behind it.

319
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 2>So Fairy Trail Bride is a lace cap cascading hydrangeles,

320
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:28.599
<v Speaker 2>that's what we call them. We call them cascade hydranges

321
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>because we really wanted to differentiate them from big leaf

322
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 2>hydranges hydroge of macrophylla, because they are a bit different.

323
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.519
<v Speaker 2>So they look a lot like it, but there are

324
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>some really key differences. So we really felt that to

325
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>help communicate that to people and understand their different habits

326
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 2>and need of care, that we should give them kind

327
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 2>of a new category because they're a wide hybrid of

328
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>different hydrange of species, So we call them cascade hydranges,

329
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 2>which really goes to describe their habits. So instead of

330
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.599
<v Speaker 2>just growing upward and rounded like most hydrangees do, it

331
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:06.599
<v Speaker 2>grows these long, arching, horizontal stems and it sets flower

332
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 2>buds at each individual leaf node along those stems. So

333
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.400
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like and it's a little bit weird to

334
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 2>say that, to say this, but it's almost like a viburnum,

335
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.319
<v Speaker 2>like a double file viburnum, which also looks like this

336
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>in the spring where you're getting that kind of, you know,

337
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 2>very distinctive look of the flowers kind of stacking along

338
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the stems. Sure, yes, tearing. So fairy trail bride, like

339
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I said, is a lace cap, so the flowers are

340
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.759
<v Speaker 2>very large and open. Today's plant on trial, fairy trail

341
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 2>white cascade Hydrangea is a mophead cascade hydrangea. So I

342
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.720
<v Speaker 2>personally am an equal opportunity hydrange of flower appreciator. I

343
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>like both the mopheads and the lace caps, and in fact,

344
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>if I did have a choice to live with only

345
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>one for the rest of my life, I would actually

346
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>choose the lace caps. Myself. I do prefer them, but

347
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.279
<v Speaker 2>I get why people like the mophead because those are

348
00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 2>the ones that are big and round and you just

349
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.240
<v Speaker 2>want to kind of like put your hands around because

350
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>they're just so like fluffy. So fairy Trail white cascade

351
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Hydrangea is today's plant on trial, and that's what makes

352
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.720
<v Speaker 2>it really different. So when you see these plants side

353
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 2>by side in the garden center, and there are going

354
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>to be a lot of these in garden centers this

355
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Mother's Day, you'll really be able to decide which one

356
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 2>you personally like better. There is also fairy Trail green

357
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.440
<v Speaker 2>cascade hydrangea, which is like fairy Trail white in that

358
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a mophead, but the flowers are green, like that

359
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 2>nice fresh green color.

360
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's exciting to think of growing something like

361
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 1>this in a container or even a large basket. I

362
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was gonna mention I have tried flowering shrubs in hanging baskets,

363
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 1>like oh so easy roses, But of course these were

364
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>hanging baskets that were packed with spagnum moss and they

365
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.720
<v Speaker 1>were four feet in diamond.

366
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh.

367
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so took a high load to lift things.

368
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's not really practical for most people. And

369
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 2>many of these plants that you're going to see at

370
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>your garden center at this time of year are actually

371
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be in hanging baskets because this plant does

372
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.960
<v Speaker 2>look absolutely beautiful and hanging baskets. So I did want

373
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 2>to give you a little bit of information in case

374
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you are buying one of these for yourself or for

375
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 2>your mom this year. They are really going to be

376
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 2>very similar to growing a big leaf hyder range. So

377
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>they bloom on old wood just like the big leaf

378
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 2>hyder ranges do. So that means they set their flower

379
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.240
<v Speaker 2>buds in winter, and that means that they also are

380
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 2>going to not need pruning. So it's a great plant

381
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.839
<v Speaker 2>to give as a gift because it's very low maintenance.

382
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 2>But of course there's going to be a tag in

383
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.680
<v Speaker 2>there that explains all of this, so don't worry. You

384
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:33.960
<v Speaker 2>can give it and you don't have to like explain

385
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>all of this extra information. So no pruning, blooms on

386
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 2>old wood. It does bloom much earlier than big leaf

387
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 2>hyder ranges do. So for us outdoors, it's gonna bloom

388
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.559
<v Speaker 2>usually probably by about early June, whereas, of course in

389
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 2>the garden center they've already been forced to bloom because

390
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.559
<v Speaker 2>everyone wants to give their mom a beautiful plant that's

391
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.079
<v Speaker 2>already in flower. So don't be totally deceived by the

392
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 2>bloom time. But they do bloom quite a bit earlier

393
00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.400
<v Speaker 2>than the big leaf hyder ranges do. Now there's one

394
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>key differ that we really want everyone to know about these.

395
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Because they do bloom earlier than big leaf hydranges do,

396
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 2>they are actually more susceptible to spring frost damage. So

397
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 2>they bloom on old wood. They have their flower buds

398
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Speaker 2>all through winter. Spring comes along, it starts to get warm,

399
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 2>the plant starts to leaf out and open up those

400
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.799
<v Speaker 2>flower buds a little bit more. Because it is going

401
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to be so much more close to its bloom time

402
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.279
<v Speaker 2>than a big leaf hydrange, it actually can make those

403
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 2>flower buds a little bit more susceptible to cold damage

404
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.079
<v Speaker 2>even than a max. So what we recommend for these

405
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>is that you plant them in parts sun only, and

406
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 2>we actually recommend that that part sun occur in the morning. Now,

407
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 2>this might all sound like oddly specific, but there's a

408
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 2>good reason for it, and that is that when you

409
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 2>plant it in that part sun for the morning, if

410
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>a frost or freeze does occur, the frost or ice

411
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.039
<v Speaker 2>crystals will actually melt very slowly instead of all at once,

412
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 2>like when the sun comes over the horizon hits that

413
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.880
<v Speaker 2>all of that cold water instantly melts onto that bud

414
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.920
<v Speaker 2>and damages it. Interesting, so if you plant it so

415
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 2>it is shaded in the spring in the morning, then

416
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:09.839
<v Speaker 2>what's going to happen is that those ice crystals will

417
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 2>melt very slowly, and that will help to prevent the

418
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.680
<v Speaker 2>damage to those flower buds. You can also just throw

419
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 2>a blanket or a towel or something like that over

420
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.799
<v Speaker 2>the plant on any night that one of these frosts

421
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:24.079
<v Speaker 2>or freezes threatens. But that's really the only kind of

422
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 2>tricky little thing to know about it. If you buy

423
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>your Mama hanging basket once, you should can certainly enjoy

424
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 2>it as those flowers persist. But once those flowers start

425
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.400
<v Speaker 2>to fade in a few weeks, it can just be

426
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.240
<v Speaker 2>taken out and plant it in the garden.

427
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I really love this plant and it's exciting and for

428

<v Speaker 2>have a suggestion for me, you can certainly leave it

448
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 2>as a comment on YouTube. I would be interested to

449
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 2>hear it. I'll keep workshopping it and we'll see. Not

450
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>that I have anything wrong with greeting's gardening friends, but

451
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's just just exactly you know, some alternatives

452
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 2>something else. But you know, we understand that not everybody

453
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.200
<v Speaker 2>is actually like a gardener. You know, some people are

454
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:14.839
<v Speaker 2>interested in plants, they want to be better homeowners, they

455
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>want to be able to take care of their landscape.

456
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 1>They may not, I mean, you know, you're preaching to

457
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the choir. I always said, hello entremneurs and that.

458
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I can't take that. That's yr for everybody.

459
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's your thing. That's so I need to come

460
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 2>up with my things. So we're working on that. But

461
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>not everyone considers themselves a gardener. Some people, like I said,

462
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.640
<v Speaker 2>are just trying to learn how to better maintain their landscapes,

463
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:39.559
<v Speaker 2>or they're just you know, curious and want to have

464
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 2>more information about plants and their brains for those awkward

465
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>moments at cocktail parties and the like.

466
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 1>That's why we're here.

467
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 2>So in that case, if you have questions about your

468
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.599
<v Speaker 2>garden and things that you should or shouldn't be doing

469
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.519
<v Speaker 2>or plants. You can always reach us at Gardening Simplified

470
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>on air dot com. That is the show website. And

471
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 2>my apologies to the person who commented on YouTube that

472
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>going to our show notes lately has just been a

473
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:05.039
<v Speaker 2>link to the YouTube video. I am sorry about that.

474
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>My schedule has been a little hectic, but once things

475
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.160
<v Speaker 2>calm down a little bit, I will go back to

476
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 2>adding the resources there because we do want those there

477
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 2>for you. So you know, this is the garden industry,

478
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 2>so it's a little bit of a little bit of

479
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.279
<v Speaker 2>a hectic time for us here on time, right, But

480
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 2>in any case, you can also go there and email

481
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>us with your gardening questions and if you need an

482
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 2>urgent answer, since we only do the show once a week,

483
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.440
<v Speaker 2>you can also go to Proven Winner's Color Choice dot

484
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 2>com or Proven Winners dot com and use the contact

485
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 2>form there to reach out and you will get a

486
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 2>personalized answer, not an AI answer from a bot. You

487
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 2>will get an answer from an actual horticulturist who wants

488
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 2>you to succeed. And that's one of the things that

489
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:42.480
<v Speaker 2>makes Proven Winners different.

490
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.319
<v Speaker 1>So and as always maintain your compost.

491
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 2>See you got that's your thing. Yeah, all right, I'll

492
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>keep working on my thing. Maybe when i'm working in

493
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the garden this weekend, something well, something will come to me.

494
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Our first question comes from Randy, and I thought this

495
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.359
<v Speaker 2>was a good question. He sent some pictures of his plants.

496
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 2>He received an order or an online order of plants,

497
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and they were in rough shape and he was worried

498
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.079
<v Speaker 2>about them, and so I thought this would be a

499
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.599
<v Speaker 2>good opportunity for us to kind of talk about for

500
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.279
<v Speaker 2>people who do order plants online, kind of what to

501
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>expect and how to deal with these situations. Now, I

502
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:18.720
<v Speaker 2>love shopping in garden centers, and I think it's important

503
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 2>that people realize that, for the most part, you're always

504
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.359
<v Speaker 2>going to get the best value in plants by shopping

505
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.400
<v Speaker 2>at a garden center because you don't have to worry

506
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 2>about shipping, and you're not then paying to have you know,

507
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 2>this giant three gallon container, if they indeed even offer

508
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 2>a three gallon sized container, you know, shipped halfway across

509
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 2>the country or whatever. Everything's been trucked. It's you know,

510
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 2>locally grown, so you will spend less for a bigger

511
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:44.799
<v Speaker 2>plant in person. But of course, sometimes people want to

512
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:46.839
<v Speaker 2>buy something and their stores don't stock it, and the

513
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 2>people can't you know, the people who own the garden

514
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 2>center are unable to source it. So ordering online in

515
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.240
<v Speaker 2>those conditions can be a really good alternative. And for

516
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 2>the most part, I would say that the majority of

517
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>online plant nurseries are really good and really reputable, and

518
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>they want to help. They don't want you to fail.

519
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.799
<v Speaker 2>They want to send you a good product. But of course,

520
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:09.640
<v Speaker 2>lots of things can go wrong in between the time

521
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:14.559
<v Speaker 2>it leaves their greenhouse and arrives at your at your doorstop.

522
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we've all had packages of things that

523
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 2>were less fragile than plants arrive on our doorstops in

524
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.400
<v Speaker 2>less than ideal conditions, So you can imagine if something

525
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 2>goes wrong with the plants in the shipping, how they're

526
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.079
<v Speaker 2>going to arrive. So I would say, first of all,

527
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.559
<v Speaker 2>if you notice something wrong with your plants when they arrive,

528
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.039
<v Speaker 2>reach out to the company right away. You don't have

529
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to be angry. They're going to want to help.

530
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:34.839
<v Speaker 1>You.

531
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Take a picture of what you're seeing, or a couple pictures,

532
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>and immediately reach out to them and just say, hey,

533
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 2>this is how my plants arrived. That is really important

534
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>to document that process. Now, it's very possible, depending on

535
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>how they look, that the company will tell you to

536
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 2>just take a wait and see approach, because very often

537
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.279
<v Speaker 2>the plants will recover. I know, it's not a great

538
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:56.960
<v Speaker 2>feeling to open up the box that you were so

539
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.240
<v Speaker 2>excited to get and the plants don't look amazing, but

540
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>very often they will recover. They just need some time

541
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to kind of recover from that shipping shock, and you

542
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 2>can sort of tuck them back into their containers. So

543
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:09.920
<v Speaker 2>they may ask you to wait and see what happens,

544
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.240
<v Speaker 2>and you know, take that with a grain of salt,

545
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:14.480
<v Speaker 2>knowing that they will back up their product, but that

546
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.039
<v Speaker 2>you should, you know, give it a chance to see

547
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.720
<v Speaker 2>if it will recover. Make sure that you water them

548
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:22.799
<v Speaker 2>right away, unless they are coming out very, very soggy,

549
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:25.880
<v Speaker 2>which is not typically the case, but crazy things do happen.

550
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Water them and keep them in a shaded location. This

551
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.359
<v Speaker 2>is important because you know, not only have they been

552
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.559
<v Speaker 2>in a protected greenhouse, now they just spent a week

553
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 2>or so in a dark box and now they're in

554
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.920
<v Speaker 2>your backyard and they're just like, what in the world

555
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:40.759
<v Speaker 2>is going on here? So you don't want to just

556
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:45.240
<v Speaker 2>expose them right away to bright sunshine. Remove any packaging

557
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.799
<v Speaker 2>as you're keeping them, if they're wrapped in plastic.

558
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Or anything like that's the keys. That's an absolute key. Again,

559
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.359
<v Speaker 1>when I was running a garden center, we'd get a

560
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of plants in boxes, primarily tropical plants. When we

561
00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 1>get them in we always had box cutters in our

562
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.240
<v Speaker 1>pockets because the shrink wrap comes off the palette right away,

563
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.079
<v Speaker 1>you get the boxes out of the sun. And also

564
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 1>if you can't get to the plants right away, just

565
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 1>cut open the tops and let them air out.

566
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the bare minimum that you should do, is

567
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.319
<v Speaker 2>just make sure they're getting air. And then again keep

568
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.839
<v Speaker 2>them in the shade because they've just been in this

569
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.279
<v Speaker 2>dark box and they're going to need to acclimate back

570
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 2>to sun even if they're full sun plants gradually, So

571
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.440
<v Speaker 2>give them a few days in the shade to kind

572
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:28.640
<v Speaker 2>of recover. And one last tip here. If the plants

573
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:32.319
<v Speaker 2>that you purchase have colorful foliage like purple foliage or

574
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.640
<v Speaker 2>yellow foliage or something like that and the plant arrives green,

575
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 2>don't be shocked. They most likely did not send the

576
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.160
<v Speaker 2>wrong plant. Although it's always worth asking. But a lot

577
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 2>of these plants either don't develop good leaf color in

578
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 2>the greenhouse environment, or they developed it fine in the

579
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 2>greenhouse environment, but they lost it being in a dark

580
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:52.160
<v Speaker 2>box for a few days. So we see this a

581
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.799
<v Speaker 2>lot with our blacklace elderberry. I'll tell you if there

582
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>is one plant that people order by mail order that

583
00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.000
<v Speaker 2>they've written me about and said I don't know what

584
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:01.759
<v Speaker 2>to do it doesn't look good, it is probably black

585
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>lace elderly. This plant does not enjoy being in a

586
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>dark box, and it shows that by turning green instead

587
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 2>of the dark purple that it actually will be in

588
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:13.759
<v Speaker 2>the in the gardens. So you know, don't panic. If

589
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 2>you see that. You can certainly let the company know

590
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 2>just in case there was a mix up, and they

591
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.240
<v Speaker 2>will note that in the order. But for the most part,

592
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:22.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, they just need a few days acclimate, get

593
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 2>out into the sun and they will take on the

594
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>color and be everything that you dreamed of. Are so

595
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.240
<v Speaker 2>just a couple tips there from people who are looking

596
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:31.960
<v Speaker 2>at purchasing plants online.

597
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Stacy Valerie writes to us, I have a perfect storm

598
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that I want to transplant. I'm in zone five be

599
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.000
<v Speaker 1>should I transplant now or wait until I see growth showing,

600
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:47.079
<v Speaker 1>which is typically the beginning of June. So perfect storm, Stacy,

601
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking we're talking about Summerrific high biscus.

602
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's the one.

603
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And if that's the case, my personal opinion, because

604
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a late bloomer, do it.

605
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Now, Absolutely, do it now. This plant will be so

606
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.640
<v Speaker 2>much happier if do the transplanting well it is dormant

607
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and not once it starts growing. Because once this plant

608
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 2>starts growing, And just a reminder to anyone who has

609
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 2>the Summerific or any other perennial hibiscus in their garden,

610
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.680
<v Speaker 2>these are absolutely, hands down the last plant to emerge

611
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>in spring, no matter where you are. They emerge later

612
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.160
<v Speaker 2>than anything else. They are like waiting to cross the

613
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>finish line till the very last minute. And so once

614
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 2>that growth comes out, usually for us in Michigan here

615
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.920
<v Speaker 2>it's probably Memorial Day weekend. I've found for my summer efics.

616
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Once that happens, that growth is going to be very delicate,

617
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the way that it comes out of the root mass

618
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:42.559
<v Speaker 2>or the crown of the plant, very easy to damage that.

619
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.559
<v Speaker 2>And if you were to damage that growth in the

620
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.680
<v Speaker 2>transplanting process, it may not be able to put out

621
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 2>more growth that season, and whether or not it can

622
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>survive that really depends, because then it won't have the

623
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 2>benefit of photosynthesizing all summer long to do that. Overall,

624
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I have transplanted summerfic hybiscus a lot in my time.

625
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've transplanted more than my share of them,

626
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>just because you know, I change my mind about colors.

627
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 2>I have a lot of them, and they are actually

628
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.359
<v Speaker 2>very amenable to transplanting. And even if you accidentally cause

629
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:18.319
<v Speaker 2>quite a lot of damage to their roots, and their

630
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 2>roots are really thick, they're almost like woody roots. They're

631
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 2>not really fleshy roots. They're very fibrous. But even if

632
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 2>you like cause some damage and you break them apart

633
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.759
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, or you know, lose a big chunk

634
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.759
<v Speaker 2>of it, the plant can recover. It may or may

635
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 2>not flower, or it may flower less as it's trying

636
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to recover from that substantial root loss. But overall, I

637
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.319
<v Speaker 2>feel like these plants are very, very amenable to transplanting.

638
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 2>The trick that I have found is, especially if you

639
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 2>do a good job at digging up the root ball,

640
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 2>which you should attempt to do if at all possible.

641
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Trying to fit that into the new hole is like

642
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:56.559
<v Speaker 2>not an easy task, you know, because they're throwing all

643
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 2>over the place, and you got to position them, and

644
00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you've got to put a little more soil on this

645
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.759
<v Speaker 2>side so that you kind of even out what's going

646
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:04.160
<v Speaker 2>on this side. So they take a little bit of

647
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.160
<v Speaker 2>a steady hand to figure out exactly how you're going

648
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.599
<v Speaker 2>to get them in there. But if you just put

649
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.759
<v Speaker 2>the extra soil in, you know, a container or a

650
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:14.559
<v Speaker 2>tub or some things that you can kind of use

651
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:18.039
<v Speaker 2>it to maneuver the plant in Overall, I have found,

652
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, knock on wood, but I haven't lost any

653
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 2>to transplanting.

654
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I haven't either. And you're looking at a tough

655
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>native plant, is what you're looking at. And you know,

656
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the old approach also of trying to move a plant

657
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>when it's dormant is probably the best rule to stick by,

658
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>absolutely and again because it's going to be blooming in

659
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.960
<v Speaker 1>August probably in zone five B. Doing it now, I

660
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.119
<v Speaker 1>think it's the time to do.

661
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And like I said, you may have fewer flowers,

662
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.359
<v Speaker 2>but you are likely to still have some. But yeah,

663
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:53.240
<v Speaker 2>once that growth comes out. This job is going to

664
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 2>be infinitely more tricky and complicated, so do it now

665
00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully to be able to enjoy some great flowers

666
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 2>in it's new home this summer. We're going to take

667
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 2>a little break. When we come back, we're going to

668
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.200
<v Speaker 2>be sharing some favorite hanging basket plits as well as

669
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 2>talking tulips, so please stay tuned. Thanks for listening to

674
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the Gardening Simplified, Joe. We'll continue our

675
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 1>talk on hanging baskets today, but prior to that, Stacy,

676
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:41.039
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to mention here in West Michigan, it's tulip time,

677
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.639
<v Speaker 1>and of course my parents were from the Netherlands, so

678
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of into tulips. I went out the other

679
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 1>day shot some pictures we'll show our viewers on YouTube.

680
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Also posted some stuff in social media, and I was

681
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.000
<v Speaker 1>surprised at the number of people who reached out to

682
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.199
<v Speaker 1>me and said that tulip is incredible. What is that?

683
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>It was a frilly type of tulip that had the

684
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 1>green streaks and multi colors in it, and I said, well,

685
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:12.559
<v Speaker 1>that's a parrot tulip, and they're like, what's a parrot tulip?

686
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And then I realized a lot of people do not

687
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:22.400
<v Speaker 1>know that tulips basically are in different classifications. So there's

688
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.159
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of cultivars and hybrid tulips with registered names.

689
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:33.239
<v Speaker 1>But they organize these tulips into groups by shape, heritage,

690
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and flowering time. And I thought I'd take one minute

691
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>just to share with you that there are many different types.

692
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>For example, there are single early tulips which are perfect

693
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:48.760
<v Speaker 1>for forcing in pots, double early tulips that almost resemble peonies,

694
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 1>triumph tulips which are a mid season cross of early

695
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and late Darwin hybrids which have a big traditional look,

696
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.119
<v Speaker 1>single lates that are very elegant. And then you get

697
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 1>into some of these interesting tulips lily flowering look that

698
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:10.519
<v Speaker 1>have this flared lily look to them, fringed, crimped, wildly

699
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.440
<v Speaker 1>cut feathery viid flora which have the green streaks in

700
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 1>them from base to tip. The Rembrandt tulips I mentioned,

701
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the parrot tulips, the double lates, the calfmania tulips, petite,

702
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:30.079
<v Speaker 1>very early flowering, All of these are I love the

703
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Fosteriana tulips Red Emperor is one very large flowers, but

704
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:42.159
<v Speaker 1>short plants ten to sixteen inches. Greggy I tulips distinctive

705
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 1>modeled foliage, very short, but big blooms on them. I

706
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.199
<v Speaker 1>guess the point I'm trying to make is that not

707
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:50.920
<v Speaker 1>all tulips are created the same. And when you buy

708
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.480
<v Speaker 1>them and fall and put them in the ground, do

709
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:57.159
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of research and look, because fringed or

710
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>lily or parrot tulips are sensational.

711
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I agree. And you know those parrot tulips or

712
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:08.159
<v Speaker 2>rembrant tulips are the ones that are modern hybrids or

713
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 2>attempts to recreate the classic broken color tulips that caused

714
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.320
<v Speaker 2>infamous tulipmania that was actually caused by a virus, which

715
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:20.159
<v Speaker 2>was why the tulip bubble burst. So you don't have

716
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to worry about that. Don't cause a tulip bubble, but

717
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.360
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to worry about that with these because

718
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 2>these are actually stable hybrids that were not caused by

719
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 2>a virus. They're just an attempt to bring back that

720
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.760
<v Speaker 2>cool old look. And I think this is an important

721
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:34.519
<v Speaker 2>thing to mention because, you know, being tulip time out

722
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.119
<v Speaker 2>here in West Michigan, a lot of people will see

723
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the city of Holland plants all of these tulips, so

724
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:42.400
<v Speaker 2>they have that really long season of bloom, and so

725
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.679
<v Speaker 2>those early start blooming and everyone says, oh my gosh,

726
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.119
<v Speaker 2>it's tulip time ruined. All the tulips are blooming. Now,

727
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:49.760
<v Speaker 2>no they're not. That's just the early tulips. But they

728
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.400
<v Speaker 2>really do include all of these different groups so that

729
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 2>you have that perpetual, you know, ongoing show of flowers

730
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:00.199
<v Speaker 2>that bloom at different times. And you know, so if

731
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:02.760
<v Speaker 2>you're shopping just at like a local you know, box

732
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>store or even a garden center, you're not likely to

733
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.840
<v Speaker 2>get that much detail on what type you're buying, Like

734
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.039
<v Speaker 2>it might say that it's a Darwin Hybrid or something

735
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:12.559
<v Speaker 2>like that, but for the most part, or just say

736
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 2>like you know, Red Emperor or what, I just have

737
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.440
<v Speaker 2>the variety name. So if you want that extra information,

738
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 2>it does pay to do some research and you know,

739
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.920
<v Speaker 2>order online. A lot of bulb suppliers that you can

740
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.920
<v Speaker 2>order online from will offer a discount if you buy

741
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:28.159
<v Speaker 2>in spring and reserve your plants to be shipped. The

742
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:32.400
<v Speaker 2>bulbs will be shipped in fall. And yeah, so that's

743
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.239
<v Speaker 2>a great way to get really really cool tulips that

744
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.000
<v Speaker 2>your neighbors are not going to have. But but you

745
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.480
<v Speaker 2>have tulips, they've got to be in your deer compound.

746
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:43.679
<v Speaker 1>They're in the compound because deer. It's candy to.

747
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:47.039
<v Speaker 2>A Yes, now I have not. I've I have attempted

748
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:50.159
<v Speaker 2>to grow tulips before the full realization of how bad

749
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:54.519
<v Speaker 2>my dear issue was was apparent, and I have This

750
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:57.519
<v Speaker 2>is funny, uh sort of, except I'm probably jinxing myself.

751
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 2>I have a couple of small plays of species tulips

752
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:05.679
<v Speaker 2>up against a fence that I don't think they can

753
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 2>get their little deer noses down there, because there's like

754
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.440
<v Speaker 2>a three inch space between like my driveway and the

755
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 2>neighbor's fence. So I kind of try to use that

756
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.119
<v Speaker 2>to get a little stand of some of some species

757
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.039
<v Speaker 2>seals because species tulips are my favorite.

758
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and species tulips, you could say, are the originals,

759
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and they reliably come back year after year, arguably better

760
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>than let's say, some of the hybridized varieties, and there's

761
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.840
<v Speaker 1>all other sorts of issues like planting depth and that

762
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>type of thing. I won't get into that today. Just

763
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the main point here is to understand that there's roughly

764
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen different categories or groups and get to know

765
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:50.599
<v Speaker 1>those groups because I think it will cause enjoyment for

766
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you in years to come as far as Yeah.

767
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:55.320
<v Speaker 2>And you can use the City of Holland approach to

768
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.960
<v Speaker 2>having tulips in bloom for you know, three or four

769
00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:59.800
<v Speaker 2>weeks instead of just one big show.

770
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I always say, if you've got questions on bulbs

771
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:06.760
<v Speaker 1>because of that Dutch European blood running through my veins,

772
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.679
<v Speaker 1>just use your two lips and speak to me and

773
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll try to help you out, Okay, Stacy. Back to

774
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:15.199
<v Speaker 1>hanging baskets. I was thinking the other day working in

775
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the greenhouse. I know you like broelia.

776
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I love that plant.

777
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Like endless flirtation, endless illumination are proven winter's varieties. So

778
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I was looking at the hanging baskets thinking you're probably

779
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.639
<v Speaker 1>a person that likes streptocarpella.

780
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:33.199
<v Speaker 2>I do like it. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, yeah, that's

781
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:36.159
<v Speaker 2>a very interesting plant and that's one that I feel

782
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:37.960
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of people know as the houseplants, but

783
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:41.239
<v Speaker 2>you do find it as a hanging basket because the

784
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>flowers come out on these long, thin stems and kind

785
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:46.719
<v Speaker 2>of give it that really cool halo look.

786
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's beautiful. And then of course, also walking through

787
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the greenhouse, I look at these plants that I call

788
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>trigger plants. So in some combinations there's b coopa or

789
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:02.599
<v Speaker 1>for example, Tradus can anti bridle veil, which is an

790
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.159
<v Speaker 1>old fashioned plant. Once again, some people view it as

791
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:09.239
<v Speaker 1>a houseplant, but we do sell a lot of those

792
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.800
<v Speaker 1>in the spring. These are what I call trigger plants.

793
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:15.639
<v Speaker 1>In other words, you can see at a glance whether

794
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:19.760
<v Speaker 1>or not the basket needs water, So always have some

795
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:25.159
<v Speaker 1>trigger plants in your landscape. Of course, Boston ferns are

796
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:29.159
<v Speaker 1>a classic, especially if you've got a shady porch. Mini

797
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:35.880
<v Speaker 1>vista supertunias. Any of the supertunias do fantastic in hanging baskets. Stacey,

798
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't help it, but I'm a huge fan of

799
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:44.079
<v Speaker 1>super venas yep. I think perfect for hanging baskets. Silver falls,

800
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.320
<v Speaker 1>dichondra trailing out of the basket.

801
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of places will do those like in

802
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the very bottoms and they look like a jellyfish. Do

803
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:52.719
<v Speaker 2>you ever see that, like where they got all the

804
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:55.119
<v Speaker 2>puffy flowers on top and then the dichondra coming out

805
00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the bottom. It's kind of a fun look.

806
00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 1>That is a fun look. Lamium, which is a perennial

807
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:03.679
<v Speaker 1>ground I don't cover. The lobilias are just so beautiful

808
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and proven Winters has the Laguna ultra violet, the dark blue,

809
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the royal lilac, the royal pink.

810
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Love those, and you know I would add to that.

811
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.679
<v Speaker 2>This is another area where choosing the proven Winner's variety

812
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.000
<v Speaker 2>is going to be really important because older and more

813
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.760
<v Speaker 2>conventional lobilias do not hold up to the heat, even

814
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.800
<v Speaker 2>like Michigan heat when we don't usually get super hot summers.

815
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:28.199
<v Speaker 2>They'll just fry and they'll stop blooming, Whereas the proven

816
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Winners lubilia are all tested to keep blooming in the heat,

817
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:33.920
<v Speaker 2>so they might need some shade when it's really hot,

818
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:36.039
<v Speaker 2>and if you live in a hot climate, they're definitely

819
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:38.559
<v Speaker 2>going to need some shade. But that's one area where

820
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:41.639
<v Speaker 2>you can count on a better performance than your standard lobilia.

821
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, the genetics they're amazing, so you would look for

822
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Laguna lobilia's stacy. In some of the hanging baskets. We

823
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:54.199
<v Speaker 1>have manda villas, which may seem crazy and they go

824
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 1>nuts and they vine up the all the way up

825
00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and all over the place. But it is a fun

826
00:42:59.360 --> 00:42:59.920
<v Speaker 1>thing to grow on.

827
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:03.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm crazy about the mandavillas. I love them. I have

828
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 2>not grown a hanging basket, but I love to put

829
00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:07.840
<v Speaker 2>them on a trellis and get that look.

830
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned in the first segment. Of course, fuschia's and

831
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:15.400
<v Speaker 1>begonias just a favorite of mine, tuberous begonias. But I

832
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:18.119
<v Speaker 1>wonder if you've have you ever grown the small leaf

833
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:21.320
<v Speaker 1>creeping wire type vine.

834
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Krokia.

835
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:27.000
<v Speaker 1>No, it's I'm going to take a shot at this.

836
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Mule len Bea.

837
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, muelen BEI I have not grown it.

838
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.280
<v Speaker 2>As a hanging basket, but I've definitely grown it as

839
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:37.079
<v Speaker 2>a houseplant and as a topiary. Okay, but very pretty.

840
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I love that plant. It's just got such a beautiful,

841
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:40.119
<v Speaker 2>delicate look.

842
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Interesting approach to baskets are containers plectranthus. I love plectranthus,

843
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and there's a variety called guacamole that I love fantastic

844
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and then Thunbergia or people would refer to it as

845
00:43:54.400 --> 00:44:02.039
<v Speaker 1>black eyed Susan. Proven Winners has lemon appeal, coconut, orange, tangerine. Again,

846
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:07.159
<v Speaker 1>using vines in hanging baskets can really add some cool

847
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>dimension to your basket, your arrangement.

848
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and some of them, like you said about the mandavilla,

849
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.119
<v Speaker 2>they do want to grow up, so instead of cascading

850
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:18.440
<v Speaker 2>down like you might envision, they will kind of find

851
00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.639
<v Speaker 2>each other their fellow vines and twist all together and

852
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:23.000
<v Speaker 2>go up. But that can be kind of a fun

853
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.519
<v Speaker 2>look and I think that's especially nice. It all depends

854
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:29.400
<v Speaker 2>on where your hanging basket situation is. You know, if

855
00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you have it on a lower hook, then letting those

856
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.559
<v Speaker 2>vines grow up on the hangars could actually look really,

857
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:36.599
<v Speaker 2>really nice.

858
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:40.159
<v Speaker 1>So I'd encourage the use of vines also in hanging baskets.

859
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.199
<v Speaker 1>End of the season, I clean out my hanging baskets

860
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and then it's fun to watch as we approach winter,

861
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.559
<v Speaker 1>the squirrels use them as a porch swing. They sit

862
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.360
<v Speaker 1>in the baskets and just kind of swing in the breeze.

863
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:53.119
<v Speaker 2>That's so cute.

864
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is cute, cute, lovable, little fuzzy.

865
00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I love squirrels too, They're amazing. I'll tell you, if

866
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:04.280
<v Speaker 2>squirrels were not everywhere and they were just like on

867
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:06.840
<v Speaker 2>social media what people watching videos, they would go crazy

868
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.000
<v Speaker 2>for them. They would visit zoos to see them. But

869
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:10.679
<v Speaker 2>because there ever where, people just kind of go, eh,

870
00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 2>it's a squirrel. Very true, just saying. And on that note,

871
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:20.920
<v Speaker 2>just one for the squirrels there, So happy mothers. Stay

872
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:23.800
<v Speaker 2>to you until all of the moms and mom figures

873
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:27.639
<v Speaker 2>out there. And thank you Rick, thank you to Adriana,

874
00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:29.599
<v Speaker 2>and thank you all so much for listening. We hope

875
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you have a wonderful week.
