1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Broadcasting from Sunny Studio A Here at proven Winter's color 2 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,960 Choy shrubs. It's time for the Gardening Simplified Show with 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,880 Stacy Hervella me Rick weisst and our engineer and producer 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,519 Adrianna Robinson. Today we talk about the color yellow. Yellow 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,600 is a color between green and orange on the spectrum 6 00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:26,559 of light. No wonder we like it. Orange is exciting 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,600 and well we all know how we feel about green 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:40,320 and the color yellow likes to use descriptive words like lemon, canary, banana, gold, mustard, sunflower, daffodil. 9 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,439 There's over one hundred shades of yellow. It's one of 10 00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:48,759 the most luminous colors, if not the most luminous color 11 00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:53,359 in the light spectrum. And of course it's all around 12 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:56,960 us in our lives, from yellow taxi cabs to the 13 00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:02,840 smile emoji, to bananas, yellow cards in soccer. Then you're 14 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,640 in trouble to a memory I have of my childhood, 15 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,480 and that is the Yellow Pages and using it as 16 00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:15,879 a doorstop at home. And who doesn't have somebody in 17 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,359 their life or multiple people in their life where when 18 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,480 you pick up the phone and you call them, they 19 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:24,680 invariably always answer. 20 00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: It yellow Adriana does that. I mean, not that we 21 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,200 talk on the phone, but if I come over and 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,280 I'm like hey, Adrianas will be like yellow. So yeah, 23 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:36,319 that's Adriana might be that person in my life. 24 00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: That's fantastic and nothing wrong with it. It's great yellow. 25 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,640 And you know those are the people also who are 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,599 going to have a tendency when you leave to say 27 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,120 bye bye. 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,439 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know she'll attention. 29 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Okay, love it. Not everybody loves the color yellow. Here's 30 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,519 a news flash. Yellow can be the color of sickness, 31 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:02,920 like chlorosis in foliage. 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: That's true. 33 00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: Not everybody likes variegation in foliage. And then, of course, 34 00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,919 if you have a bad product, we refer to it 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,680 as a lemon because it leaves a sour taste in 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,800 your mouth. And then you have mellow yellow the Donovan 37 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,080 song from nineteen sixty six, They call me mellow yellow. 38 00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:31,520 It basically causes you to feel relaxed and chill and 39 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,039 all that kind of stuff. Yellow with violet the opposite 40 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,439 on the color wheel. A complementary color is the classic 41 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,240 complementary color combination. I would argue yellow and violet or 42 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:51,120 yellow and blue. But here's something for us to think 43 00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:55,280 about Stacey, and that is how effective is the color 44 00:02:55,439 --> 00:03:00,520 yellow in attracting pollinators to the landscape. I would have 45 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,639 to say yellow must have a tremendous ability to attract 46 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,479 pollinators to the landscape because look at sticky cards in 47 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:15,039 insect traps, or the pheromone traps and the cards on 48 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:19,120 Japanese beetle traps. They're always a bright yellow. So I'm 49 00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:22,520 going to think that yellow is a good color to 50 00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:24,639 pull pollinators to your landscape. 51 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: Right about that, It certainly is yellow is Obviously there 52 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,960 are a number of sort of markings on plants that 53 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,840 insects and pollinators can see that we cannot. But overall, 54 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,199 especially bees of all types love yellow flowers, and all 55 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,039 types of bees are important pollinators. And if you think 56 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560 about or perhaps you've gone on a cross country trip 57 00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:48,400 during the summer, if you think about the North American 58 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,400 native flora, especially the summer blooming stuff, tends very strongly 59 00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:57,840 toward a whole lot of yellow. And that's all about 60 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,960 the insects. So that's why I have a lot of 61 00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,159 yellow in my garden, because I'm in it for the bugs. 62 00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,639 I didn't really set out for the yellow. I do 63 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:10,800 prefer those stronger, brighter tones over like pestels and softer colors, 64 00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,120 And it just so turned out that my garden has 65 00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:18,079 a very significant yellow moment in the summer and I 66 00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:18,839 love it that way. 67 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. I have some pictures to share 68 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,160 with our YouTube viewers of mystic illusion dahlia and that 69 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:32,079 mellow yellow flower with the dark foliage. Wow, and the 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,680 monarchs and the bees were swarming that thing last summer. 71 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,399 Speaker 2: You know, Mystic illusion dahlia is truly one of the 72 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,839 most extraordinary plants that you can grow as a summer annual. 73 00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:45,360 When we used to do Improven Winners used to do 74 00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:48,079 the Grand Garden Show on Mackinac Island, there was always 75 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,879 one of the gardens that had a bunch of Mystic 76 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,199 Illusion dahlias, and it was far and away the most 77 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:57,199 asked about plant. Honestly, I'm surprised that not every garden 78 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,920 center sells them because they're just They're irresistible when you 79 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,480 see them. They're so beautiful. They really are a plant 80 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,000 that you have to see to believe. And I think 81 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,759 they appeal to pretty much everybody. 82 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no question about it. And just this past 83 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,079 weekend in the greenhouse. I was enjoying cultivars like Sombrero 84 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:22,600 Poco yellow Echinasia. Wow, the yellow on that thing is unbelievable. 85 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,879 Shadowland Echo the Sun and autumn frost hostas. There are 86 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,279 a lot of beautiful, bright yellow hostas available on the 87 00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:38,160 market today. And then I love the going bananas, one 88 00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:43,800 of the best reblooming day lilies with fragrant lemony flowers. 89 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,160 And I have to say to you, Stacy that again 90 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,319 this past weekend, as people were shopping plants the globe 91 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,439 Pop Japanese holly and the soft serve false cypress, people 92 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,000 were drawn to those plans. 93 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,519 Speaker 2: Well, you know, people love evergreens, and if you can 94 00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,759 make them ever yellow, they like them even better because yeah, 95 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,279 they love, love, love that year round color. 96 00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. So just some fantastic yellow plants there, and I 97 00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:16,040 and you know who would not love I don't know, 98 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,399 maybe some people want, but for me in fall, a 99 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:26,160 ginko tree in its full glory, bright yellow with some 100 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,800 yellow chrysanthemums on a crisp autumn day, that's inspiring. 101 00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: That is. And you know in Japan, seeing ginkos turn 102 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,680 yellow and drop their leaves is probably a seasonal activity, 103 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,560 almost as popular as cherry blossom viewing is in the springs, 104 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,000 it is very much a thing to go to parks 105 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,839 that are full of ginkos and take in that amazing 106 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,160 bright yellow moment that is so unique to ginko trees. 107 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,759 Speaker 1: So, Stacy, you like the color yellow, right? 108 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,399 Speaker 2: I do? Yeah? 109 00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I decided to write a limerick just for 110 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:04,079 you because you like the color yellow. It's a salute 111 00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:08,759 to Stacy and the color yellow. Limerick. Yellow's her sunshine 112 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,680 on a cloudy day. Even though that might sound cliche, 113 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,720 for Stacy, yellow's a favorite. She sits in a lawn 114 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,959 chaired a savorite while she'll skillfully knit and crochet. Do 115 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,639 you crochet? 116 00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:24,879 Speaker 2: I do, yeah, okay, mostly knit, but I crochet a bit. 117 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: Okay, because I threw that in there because it obviously arrives. Okay, 118 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,519 all right, because I know you're an excellent knitter, but 119 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,319 I didn't you know. Actually, to be honest with you, 120 00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:37,040 I don't know the difference between knitting and crocheting. 121 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: So again, on the break, thank you. 122 00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:44,759 Speaker 1: Doesn't it make you happy? Yellow makes me a smiling, 123 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,959 contented fellow. Your garden will bloom because there's always more 124 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,040 room for flowers and lime jello. Yellow's a must and ultimatum, 125 00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:00,000 and I quote almost verbatim, Stacy says, for a pollinaise, 126 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:07,040 there is no plant that's greater than her beloved Sylphium perfoliatum. 127 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: I got as that was some very impressive rhyming. Thank 128 00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:13,639 you nicely done. 129 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:15,639 Speaker 1: But that's cup plant, right. 130 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:18,639 Speaker 2: That is the cupplant. The yeah, it's it is, it 131 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,079 characterizes and it's very bright yellow characterizes in my garden 132 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,720 easily one of my favorites. And yeah, it's you know, 133 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720 what I love about it, aside from the way that 134 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,959 it looks, is how much life it supports, because that 135 00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:35,519 really is what it's all about for me. And you know, 136 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,080 I have a lot of other yellow flowering plants, of course, 137 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,440 because I grow a lot of native plants, but nothing 138 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,039 can really quite beat the sylphium for showiness and pollinator 139 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,200 attracting and bird attracting ability. 140 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:54,879 Speaker 1: I like how perfoliatum rhymes with verbatim and ultimatum, all right. Anyhow. 141 00:08:55,039 --> 00:09:01,679 Excellent color combinations with yellow include navy blue, charcoal, gray, white, purple, 142 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,000 shades of green like sage or hunter green. For a bold, 143 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,600 modern look, pair bright yellow with black muted yellow works 144 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:16,159 well with neutrals like beige or light gray. Because a 145 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:22,440 lot of these pairings Stacey are inspired by nature. There 146 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:26,159 is some historical context that I'm going to share in 147 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,399 segment four for why I really love the color yellow. 148 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,360 But it is a great color to pair with other colors. 149 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't usually go for really strong 150 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,879 contrast in the garden, but I have to say, for me, 151 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,039 in the summer, you cannot be yellow and bright red 152 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,200 my sylphium with a cranberry crush Hibiscus summarific hibiscus. I 153 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,840 just love it. I mean, some people would call it 154 00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:55,120 ketchup and mustard, and I'm not going to say you're wrong, 155 00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,919 but it is where I can just I just love, 156 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,480 love love those two together in a summer garden. It's 157 00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:04,039 just can't beat it for me. 158 00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:08,519 Speaker 1: What does it for me? Bright yellow tulips with purple 159 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,960 tulips love. 160 00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: That's very West Michigan of you. 161 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Yes, it is Plants on trial coming up next here 162 00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:18,840 on the Gardening Simplified. 163 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: Show, Beautify your home and community with proven Winter's color 164 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,320 Choice shrubs with over three hundred and twenty five unique 165 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:34,440 varieties to choose from, there's a flowering, shrubb or evergreen 166 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,279 for every taste and every space.

We haven't done 171 00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:51,639 one of these in a while. 172 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: I love these shows. 173 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really fun because we can just talk about 174 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,320 plants that we love in that color and talk about 175 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,679 how to use them in the garden and the plants 176 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720 that we have, and that makes it really fun. So 177 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,480 we haven't done yellow yet. And as you are, you know, 178 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,080 in a cooler climate, probably planting your garden, maybe you 179 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,480 are planting your annuals. I have to say, I'm surprised 180 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:14,000 for your enthusiasm for yellow when you hate marigolds so much. 181 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that with marorgolds. It's just my past 182 00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:20,919 history and the smell of those things. Okay, yeah, the aroma. 183 00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:24,919 Speaker 2: But marigolds are like a classic, very very classic yellow 184 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,000 annual and I know they're on your. 185 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,039 Speaker 1: Please don't do not like cards, letters, notes, It's okay. 186 00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: Do you even hate the African marigolds? That are really 187 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,600 really big and tall. They're like, those are pretty cool. 188 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: Again. I handled thousands and thousands and thousands of flats 189 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,320 of these had the dead head them smell like them 190 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,279 going home. That's why I don't. Okay, all right, If 191 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,000 you like marigolds, have at it. 192 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, please do. But especially if you like yellow in 193 00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:54,600 your annuals, then marigolds are probably very much a part 194 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,080 of that. Now, if you have ever wondered why when 195 00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:03,440 it comes to color foliage for plants, your options are 196 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,639 fairly limited. You have green, of course, we all know 197 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,480 foliage tends to be green. You have variegated, you have purple, 198 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,320 and you have yellow. Now there's some plants with kind 199 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,879 of bluish foliage like, but it's not, you know, really major. 200 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,720 When you're looking for like a colorful foliage plant variegated 201 00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:22,799 purple or yellow, red, black, you know, some kind of 202 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,120 permutation of purple, that's pretty much where your choices end. 203 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,360 And if you've ever wondered why that is, well, it 204 00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:33,879 comes all down to plant pigments, and chlorophyll itself is 205 00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:37,879 a pigment, but there are other pigments which are responsible 206 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,559 for different colors. So anthocyanins are the pigments that tend 207 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:48,360 to favor red, purple black type pigments, and then you 208 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,759 have the carotenoids, which favor the yellow and orange pigments. 209 00:12:53,919 --> 00:12:57,039 So basically what we have here is a situation where 210 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,639 the plant and plants will generally have a lot of 211 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,279 all those It's not like it's an either or, And 212 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,919 it's not like a plant that is high in carotenoids 213 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:08,399 or anthocyanins has no chlorophyll. It's still very much has chlorophyll. 214 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,440 It's just that those other pigments are masking the chlorophyll. 215 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720 But that is why we have somewhat limited choices, and 216 00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:16,799 you don't just have, you know, any kind of crazy 217 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,360 color in your foliage. But as gardens we can really 218 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:27,039 kind of use this to our advantage by adding colorful 219 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:31,279 foliage plants to our garden. And I think yellow is 220 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:34,720 particularly useful. Of course, purple and black are useful to 221 00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,600 and they're lovely. But what I think is really so 222 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,960 so great about yellow foliage is that, especially compared to red, 223 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,080 purple black foliage, it tends to be very much more 224 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,799 shade tolerant. This is going to depend on the variety 225 00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:51,039 and the type of plants. You're growing, of course, but 226 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:56,759 how great is it that these yellow foliaged plants tend 227 00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:59,639 to do well in the shade where they can offer 228 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,559 some bread brightness into those darker corners of our yard 229 00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:06,639 and really help to light up those spaces. 230 00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:10,279 Speaker 1: You know, you're right. I love sun king Aurelia, and 231 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,279 it's grown in the. 232 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: Shape classic choice, definitely one of the absolute best for 233 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,279 a shady for brightening up a shady spot. So yellow 234 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,320 foliage plants are extremely useful. So I wanted to kind 235 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,519 of go over a list of the yellow foliage plants 236 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,240 that we have here in the proven Winter's Color Choice 237 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:31,759 Shrubs line, so you can think about how these plants 238 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,519 might fit into your landscape add some brightness. They're really 239 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:38,080 great because as much as I love all my yellow flowers, 240 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360 the fact is they're around for you know, maybe six 241 00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:43,279 weeks at best in the summer. You know, my Sylphia, 242 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,840 that's probably about how long that blooms. Whereas yellow foliage 243 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:48,919 is there all season long, you never have to worry 244 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,159 about it not being there, so it really helps to 245 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:57,720 contribute interesting color and brightness to the landscape. Now, the 246 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,200 first thing I have to say, of course, is my 247 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,799 all time favorite yellow foliage plant in the proven Winter's 248 00:15:02,799 --> 00:15:04,879 color choice line lemony lace Alderberry. 249 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,279 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean same here. 250 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: You know again, I've said it so many times on 251 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,320 the show, but it every year. It blows me away. 252 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:14,200 It's a plant that I saw growing here for years 253 00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:17,320 and until I got it on a plant giveaway, which 254 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,600 if you like free plants, definitely look for a job 255 00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:22,519 in the green industry. You can be an accountant, you 256 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:24,639 can be an HR person, you can be a salesperson. 257 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,480 There's all these different ways to get into the industry 258 00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,759 and you will get free plants. So hot tip there. 259 00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,039 So I got this one years ago and I was 260 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,000 just like, yeah, lemony lace is okay. You know, when 261 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360 I've seen it around the garden, it's pretty. Until I 262 00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:39,960 had that thing in my own yard, I just had 263 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,559 no sense of how much I would love it. And 264 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,879 it is an extraordinary plant because not only do you 265 00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:50,279 get that beautiful yellow foliage, it has the texture. It 266 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,840 stays actually quite nice and small in my landscape because 267 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,279 I don't provide a lot of water. If you have 268 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,720 a lot of water or moistu or clay soil, it's 269 00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:01,679 going to get much much alarer merger stays pretty small 270 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,559 for me. And it's just an absolute beautiful plant. Now, 271 00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:08,480 this is a plant that definitely benefits from placing it well, 272 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,759 you know where it can really kind of be fully appreciated. 273 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,679 And through some miraculous confluence of circumstances, I did actually 274 00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:19,799 manage to plant this in the perfect spot. And that 275 00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,399 it's just a plant that I don't think I could 276 00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:22,639 live without. Now do you have one? 277 00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: I have one. I love it, and I love the 278 00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:27,960 way it contrasts with blue colors in the landscape. 279 00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: Yes, so, Lemonie lace my first choice. Such an amazing plant, 280 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,000 and of course for our warm climate friends, not the 281 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,879 most heat tolerant, we do have this one, I think 282 00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:42,840 at heat tolerant only through USCA Zone seven. So but 283 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,480 stay tuned. We've gotten another one for you. How about 284 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,480 a yellow Abelia. Now Abelia, we've talked a bit about 285 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,559 the show on the show here here and there. It's 286 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:54,279 definitely more of a southern plant, even though it is 287 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,399 fairly hardy. We have two fabulous yellow abelias, brilliant Tina 288 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,320 and poke Loco. And for our warm climate friends, if 289 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,279 you want that same bright yellow, these are great for 290 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,039 the shade. They do flower, and the flowers are quite 291 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,839 nice and fragrant, but these are really primarily foliage plants 292 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,640 that you can just kind of put in the landscape 293 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,599 and count on to give you extremely bright, very low 294 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,079 maintenance color. Our abelias, and this is going to make 295 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,839 sense to those of you who grow them in warm 296 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,559 climates have been selected to not throw what is known 297 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,519 as dog legs, and if you're again, if you're familiar 298 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:34,920 with growing them, this probably makes sense to you. But 299 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,720 it's when they put out these crazy long shoots. And 300 00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:41,960 doctor Judson Lacompte, our new plant development manager, southern guy 301 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,039 at heart and by breeding, and he hates the abelia 302 00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:48,839 dog legs, so he makes sure that all of our 303 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,480 abelias are free of dog legs. So Sunshine Blue Carryopterress 304 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,920 yellow very much, so it's got the blue contrast that 305 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,480 you like. So Carryoptress, of course is a fall bloomy plant. 306 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,400 The green variety that we have beyond Midnight is also 307 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,279 absolutely beautiful. But Sunshine Blue with that bright yellow foliage 308 00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:11,559 to go all through the season until it starts to 309 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:14,480 bloom in late August September for us here, and then 310 00:18:14,519 --> 00:18:17,599 you get that great contrast. It's just a wonderful plant 311 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,839 to have around because it's really pulling its weight all year. Now, 312 00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:22,960 as much as I love a plant that is kind 313 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,200 of nondescript and then all of the sudden is like 314 00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:28,720 look at me, it's also nice to have something that's, 315 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:33,799 you know, contributing substantially to the landscape throughout the season. 316 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:38,240 Winecraft gold catinas. Now there is a showy plant. 317 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: Oh boy, And there's a lot of interest in this way. 318 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,839 Speaker 2: Yes, and is a very cool one. And that is 319 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,480 one that you know, compared to the purple leafed catinas 320 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:49,480 or smoke bush, this is one it's going to be 321 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,720 able to take a little more shade than those sun 322 00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:54,440 loving ones. So you know, if you love a type 323 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,359 of plant and you don't have a lot of sun 324 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,440 very often, you can check to see if there is 325 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960 a yellow variety and in many cases it will be 326 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,680 a little bit more shade tolerant than the other counterparts. 327 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,359 Chardonnay Pearl's dutsia more people should plant it. The only 328 00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:12,160 yellow foliage dutsia on the market, and it's one of 329 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,680 those plants it's been around for so long. It was 330 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,319 one of the first plants that we offered in the 331 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,880 line doesn't really get enough attention. Man, When you see 332 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,519 that thing in bloom, it is just so beautiful golden 333 00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:28,200 foliage and then beautiful white bell shaped flowers kind of 334 00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:31,200 hovering over that mound of golden foliage. 335 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,319 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that in segment. For one of my 336 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,920 favorite color combinations is yellow and white. 337 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,039 Speaker 2: So elegant it is. It's surprisingly elegant for you, Rick, 338 00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:44,680 I know you like the louder thing, so I'm impressed. 339 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Thank you.

Then then you will be refined. 342 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,279 The higher the pinky, the fancier you are.

Candy car and this thing is a color powerhouse. Yeah. 351 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,799 So in spring it comes out with its bright red foliage. 352 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,319 It just pops out of the mulch and then through 353 00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:41,960 the suit and then it kind of turns orange with 354 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,440 that red new growth. And then through the season it 355 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:50,519 has this bright, bright yellow foliage with these hot pink flowers. 356 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,079 It is such an interesting and unusual combination. It is 357 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,079 obviously a hit because it is far and away our 358 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,519 best selling SPYRIEA the Proven Winner's Color Choice line.

You've never heard that word. 399 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,200 It's like, you know, like a it's like a mix 400 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,880 up of bad information. Like it's like a poor facsimile, 401 00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,599 is how I think it would be described. 402 00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: Could I use that word in my life? Where have 403 00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:25,920 you been all my life? Pastiche? 404 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:26,519 Speaker 2: Yes? 405 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: Okay adding it to my Vocay. 406 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:36,079 Speaker 2: Okay, lovely perfect, that's outstanding. I'm wondering about the context, 407 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,559 but I'm glad to know it's. 408 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: Say, I got a question for you, if I you 409 00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:45,880 know this part of the show, if I may ask 410 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,200 the question. It's been bothering me since segment one, but 411 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,680 I think it just popped into my head that the 412 00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:55,960 difference between knitting and crocheting. Now, crocheting is not that 413 00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,240 game you play on the lawn with the ball and 414 00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,000 the that's croquet croquet. 415 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 416 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: So the difference between knitting and crocheting, it just popped 417 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:07,359 into my head, is that crochet needles use a hook? 418 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:08,400 Am I right? 419 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 2: Crochet you crochet with a hook. You wouldn't call it 420 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,240 a crochet needle. 421 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: It's not a crochet needle. But you use a hook. 422 00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:17,039 Speaker 2: You use a hook, and with needles. With knitting, you 423 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,400 use a pair of needles. 424 00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,839 Speaker 1: Because years ago we used to have all those they 425 00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:23,759 called them latch hook kits. 426 00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's totally different, okay, but yes, the latch 427 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,200 hook kits were really quite the rage in the seventies. 428 00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:33,680 I was a little too young to have one, but 429 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,240 I remember seeing them everywhere, like on TV, and you know, 430 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:37,839 seeing the. 431 00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: And is that the needle you used to make your 432 00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:41,759 lawn chairs? 433 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 2: So if you are making a lawn chair out of 434 00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:50,720 macrime cord, you tend to use two crochet hooks, okay, 435 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:53,559 to hold the loops while you're you know, weaving the 436 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,880 crow the macrime cord back and forth. But it's not 437 00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:00,720 technically crochet. It is actually a combination of macro weaving. 438 00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:03,960 So it's very confusing because people will call the macrame 439 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,359 launchairs that not is kind of like a macrime, but 440 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480 you use crochet hooks and mostly you're just weaving macrime 441 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,160 cord through the I'm learning. 442 00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:16,599 Speaker 1: A lot here. Yes, that's really pistiche What does the 443 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,400 word mean again? 444 00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:20,279 Speaker 2: It means a poor fact simile. So it's like you, 445 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,119 like I would say that the results that an AP 446 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,480 or sorry, an AI or a chat but gives you 447 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,160 is a pistiche. It is they're taking a variety of 448 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,440 sources and kind of cobbling together into some sort of 449 00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:36,880 really subpar answer. 450 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to use my new word. I have 451 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:46,279 a picture for our YouTube video viewers. I found an 452 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:54,079 AI image of container plant, a colorful plant that those 453 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,079 images are just everywhere and it's terrible. And you can 454 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,359 see the smiling lady the picture of this multi colored plant. 455 00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:06,039 Her shoes are offset from where she's standing, so you 456 00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:10,160 can tell it's an AI photo. I guess it's just 457 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,440 an opportunity to remind people that those things are abundant 458 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,359 out there right. 459 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: Now, right And you know you don't want to get 460 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:16,920 me started. 461 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:21,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but no, but this is important because example. 462 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: Of it is. I would say most AI results are 463 00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:27,440 a postiche. And you know, it's very frustrating to me 464 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,200 the way that AI has been used in for gardening 465 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,200 and for plants and by bad actors. You know, I'm 466 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,880 not talking like you know, because plants are pretty freaking 467 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,000 cool as it is. If you haven't noticed, plants do 468 00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:45,160 not need to be you know, transformed into some imaginary 469 00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:48,480 thing for them to be appreciated and to be useful 470 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:49,160 and to be cool. 471 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: But you know that in my rewirement, I help out 472 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,960 in the greenhouse a little bit in spring Stacy. You 473 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,720 wouldn't believe the number of people come in asking for it. 474 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,559 Speaker 2: No, oh yeah, oh man, Well you know what, if 475 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:05,599 you go to the proven Winner's Color Choice website, we 476 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,039 don't use AI on our photos. They are real photos, 477 00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:13,039 are actual plants in our actual landscape. And if they 478 00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:15,079 don't look real, that's just because they are that great. 479 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,079 So yeah, again, We've done an AI show years ago 480 00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:22,200 and it was like, sort of at the beginning, I 481 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,920 think we need to probably reprise this, but I will 482 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,119 tell you this, if it looks too good to be true, 483 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,799 it probably is. And if you are not sure and 484 00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:32,000 you are thinking about spending money on any kind of 485 00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:35,640 seed or plant or anything like that. I truly mean this. 486 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,240 You are most welcome to contact us at Gardening Simplified 487 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,039 on Air dot com or a proven Winner's Color Choice 488 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,640 dot com. Send us a link, send us a photo, 489 00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:47,400 and we will tell you kindly if it's a real 490 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,200 plant or if you should not waste your money, because 491 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,599 there are a lot of scammers out there using these 492 00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:56,079 plants to try to sell them to people and it's unconscionable. 493 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: We'll let you know whether or not it's pastiche you 494 00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:00,480 go ahead, it'll look. 495 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Okay, So we have a question here 496 00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:07,839 from Genie. She has two April tryst camelias. She decided 497 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,160 to retransplant them side by side against the south side 498 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,319 of her fence to protect them from hot afternoon sun. 499 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,759 Good idea for camelias. From a distance, she said, they 500 00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:19,200 look beautiful with spring blooms, but on closer look, they 501 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,680 look diseased. The leaves are dropping off and she's constantly 502 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,960 cleaning them off the ground. Please help me identify what's 503 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,839 going on and how I can treat the problem. So 504 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,119 she sent some pictures. The good news here, Genie, I 505 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,680 am not a complete expert on camellia's not by a 506 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,279 long shot, since I cannot grow them sadly in Michigan, 507 00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:40,440 I actually don't think you have anything to worry about. Yes, 508 00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:45,640 camelias are susceptible to some various diseases, certainly ifitoptera, which 509 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,119 is a root disease that happens in poor drainage, is 510 00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:50,640 one of the most popular or most common not popular, 511 00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:52,519 that has a very distinctive look. And if you look 512 00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:55,200 up camellia diseases and leaf spots, you will you won't 513 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,559 find anything that looks like what yours look like. So 514 00:28:58,039 --> 00:28:59,640 I think there's a couple of things going on. I 515 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,759 think that the damage that you're seeing on these leaves 516 00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:06,200 is very possibly from cold and not from any kind 517 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,440 of disease or anything like that. We did have remember 518 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,680 an extremely cold winter this past winter, and because these 519 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,119 plants had been transplanted, they probably were not quite as 520 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,400 well equipped to deal with that cold as they would 521 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160 have been if they hadn't been moved. The other thing, 522 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:24,880 I don't know how long you've had these, but camellias 523 00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:29,400 drop their three year old leaves every spring and early summer. 524 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:32,440 So the fact that they are dropping the leaves may 525 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,960 simply be a fact that the plant has gotten mature 526 00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:38,920 enough now that it's just shedding those leaves in a 527 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,119 normal way. And as long as the plant is putting 528 00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:45,160 on fresh, healthy, new growth to replace that, you've got 529 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,200 nothing to worry about. Because even evergreens do lose their leaves, 530 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,119 and that causes people to kind of freak out because 531 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,799 they think that something is wrong and different evergreens lose 532 00:29:53,799 --> 00:29:56,480 their leaves at different times. We've talked about white pines 533 00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:59,440 losing their needles in fall, which of course also freaks 534 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,000 people out. So I don't see anything in your Camellia's 535 00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:07,000 genie that is causing me worry or anything like that. 536 00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:10,400 I think they're just you know, again, I'm not sure 537 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,480 where you're located. I think it was somewhere in New York. 538 00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:16,839 Not quite ideal Camelia territory, a little bit too cool. Still, 539 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,960 so the fact that they might have gotten some cold 540 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,759 damage and are now at an age where they're just 541 00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:25,920 replacing those three year old leaves that may combine to 542 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880 make it look very alarming, But in reality, I don't 543 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,119 think you've got anything to worry about. 544 00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:32,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you nailed it, Stacy, because think about it, 545 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,920 in spring or early spring, we're going to tend towards 546 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,359 looking towards cold or winter damage, as opposed to later 547 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,680 in summer when we'd be looking closely at disease. Yeah, exactly, Okay, 548 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,920 all right, Karen writes to us. I am slowly adding 549 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,720 shrubs perennials each summer. I have an area in my 550 00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:54,400 backyard I'd like to turn into a butterfly garden with 551 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,400 a fire light Hydrangea alium lantana cone flowers. The concern 552 00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:04,440 here is stay is the walnut tree stump in the middle. 553 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,240 So worries about the soil because of this walnut and 554 00:31:09,799 --> 00:31:12,680 says please help a new gardener out as I am stumped. 555 00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: Right, So she also says, I'm worried about the soil 556 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,720 in this area being acidic due to this stump. I 557 00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:20,720 don't think you have any concern about that. Of course, 558 00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:23,799 people are always worried about walnuts, black walnuts, because they 559 00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:27,359 do kind of have this chemical that can suppress the 560 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,359 growth and even kill very sensitive plants that are growing 561 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,160 around it. A lot of people believe that it is 562 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,480 the walnut roots that are the culprit. But in fact, 563 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,039 that's not the case. It's actually the leaves, the stems, 564 00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:43,359 and especially the fruits when they fall. So if this 565 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,960 thing has been cut down and that stem, that stump 566 00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:49,000 is decomposing, you don't have to worry at all. I 567 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,359 mean maybe if you have very very sensitive plants, like 568 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,680 I know tomatoes are extremely sensitive to jug loan, but 569 00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:56,920 you're not even talking about growing tomatoes around this plant 570 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,720 so or around this old stump, So I don't think 571 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,119 it's a cause for concern. Go ahead and leave the 572 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,759 stump as some interest, and I wouldn't worry about it. 573 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,759 You can do some research again, if you just want 574 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,519 to be perfectly safe. I don't know how long this 575 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:11,039 walnut tree has been cut down, you can do some 576 00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:13,880 research on plants that are resistant to jug loan. That's 577 00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:17,400 jug l O n E. That is the chemical that 578 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,279 the walnuts can emit. Just so you're not putting anything 579 00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:22,759 that's super duper sensitive in there. But for the most part, 580 00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:25,279 I think that everything you've listed should be absolutely fine. 581 00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:28,480 It's a pretty small list that is truly that sensitive 582 00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:31,599 to jug loan. So good luck with the project. It 583 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,160 sounds very interesting. We are going to take a little 584 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,200 break when we come back, We're continuing our conversation on 585 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,079 yellow in the garden and plantscape, so please stay tuned. 586 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,759 Thanks for listening to the Gardening Simplified Podcast, brought to 587 00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,799 you by Proven Winners Color Choice Shrubs.

As we talk 592 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,279 about the color yellow, Stacy I had mentioned that I 593 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,160 love that yellow and white combination. Let me give you 594 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,799 some examples. Sunsatia, coconut nmejus, Oh, isn't it great? That's 595 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,359 very cool, bright yellow color in the center on a 596 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,759 white flower. I have a picture for our YouTube viewers 597 00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:27,079 of yellow hellabores in my landscape that I took on 598 00:33:27,119 --> 00:33:31,960 a snowy day. That combination of yellow and white. I 599 00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:37,960 love that combination of a mellow yellow with white, luscious lantana, 600 00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:43,599 vanilla breeze, Biden's campfire marshmallow, all of those are great. 601 00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:46,559 And I think it stems from and yeah, pun intended, 602 00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:51,200 it stems from my interest in history. The yellow paint 603 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:55,039 color used on the walls of Thomas Jefferson's dining room 604 00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:59,079 at Monticello is known as chrome yellow, but today it's 605 00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:06,440 marketed as Monticello Yellow. But it's vibrant and the color 606 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,039 that they used in interiors at that time, seventeen hundreds 607 00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:15,599 into the eighteen hundreds. You'll see that in those types 608 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:21,039 of homes, a buttery yellow on dining room walls. Alexander 609 00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:25,039 Hamilton's home is another great example. And if you look 610 00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:29,400 at the exterior of the home, also surrounded by thirteen 611 00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:33,559 sweet gum trees that are there to note the thirteen 612 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,039 original colonies, but the dining room or even outdoors in 613 00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:43,639 the yellow exterior. In the exterior it's yellow with white trim. 614 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,239 And that combination of yellow with white trim, I love it. 615 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,159 And you can see it at the Hamilton Grange National 616 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:58,239 Memorial in Harlem. I've visited there, of course. That's the 617 00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:00,800 or just to the northeast of that location would be 618 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,519 Yankee Stadium and the New York Botanical Garden, which I 619 00:35:04,559 --> 00:35:06,239 know you're very familiar. 620 00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:08,119 Speaker 2: I am very familiar with, yes, but. 621 00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:12,679 Speaker 1: Again with a little historical context, I love that yellow 622 00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:13,760 and white combination. 623 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is great, and it has more of that subtlety. 624 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,719 You'll take a daffodil, right, we're just at the tail 625 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,039 in a daffodil season, a white and yellow daffodil. I mean, 626 00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,840 of course, the classic yellow is fabulous, but the white 627 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,880 and yellow, it just has so much more depth than 628 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,880 it's just you know, it's a little bit unexpected. 629 00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:33,159 Speaker 1: You got it, you got it, love it. So here's 630 00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:38,119 some favorite yellows. Decadence, pink, lemonade, lemon, meringue, any of 631 00:35:38,159 --> 00:35:42,159 those baptisias. I think a classic yellow on a Solosia 632 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,239 flower is amazing. Last year I grew some straw flower flombay. 633 00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:53,679 The yellow also known as common everlasting, heat and drought tolerant, 634 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,800 can handle poor soils, deer resistant cool plant. Another one 635 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,519 that I tried in my content was the y kaki 636 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:08,039 sunset lysomachia. That's a cool plant also. But when I 637 00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:10,639 think of the color yellow and the landscape too stacy 638 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,400 right away my mind aside from the spy rheas that 639 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,400 you had mentioned in Plants on Trial, the Arctic fire yellow. 640 00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 2: Yes, now there's an unexpected yellow, and that works well 641 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,199 for your yellow and white combo exactly because you know 642 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,519 everybody knows red twig dogwood turns nice red in the winter. 643 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,000 This is one that turns yellow and it is really 644 00:36:33,039 --> 00:36:35,480 extraordinary and just so refreshing to see something different. Now, 645 00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:39,119 I do love the red, it's beautiful, but the yellow, 646 00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:42,039 it's just it's a really nice twist on you know, 647 00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:44,840 the kind of the ubiquitous red. And I'll tell you, 648 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,039 if you match it in your landscape with the right 649 00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:49,880 color house and with evergreens, it could be something that 650 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,760 it's truly truly stunning and still very nice to bring 651 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,920 in for the holidays. So for some nice light in 652 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,239 the house and Stacy. 653 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:03,079 Speaker 1: Speaking of shrubs again, I have observed on the sales 654 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,920 floor that people love the Tater Tot arborvitie. But then 655 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,880 you show them Anna's Ball. 656 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 2: And it's magic ball. 657 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: Yeah wow. 658 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,079 Speaker 2: So I mean Tater Tot is easily one of our 659 00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:19,360 best selling shrubs evergreens. It is a small round arborvite 660 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,960 and people do love it. But yeah, Anna's magic ball 661 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,480 actually can be for Tater Tot and it is a 662 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:28,159 beautiful bright gold. So you call them evergreens, but they're 663 00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:31,400 actually ever yellows. And so we've selected all of these 664 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,880 golden evergreens to keep that golden color in winter, because 665 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,400 a lot of them don't. They'll kind of go bronze 666 00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:40,320 or you know, not so nice. So when we're trialing 667 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,320 and evaluating these, yeah, our new plan evaluation team is 668 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,760 out there even in the dead of winter making sure 669 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,320 that they really keep that nice color and stay interesting 670 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,480 and beautiful in the landscape. 671 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, fantastic plant. So let's run through a few very quickly. Here, 672 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,719 marguerite daisy, golden butterfly. The uh oh yeah, why that 673 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,039 one A tough one for people to pronounce argur ranthemum, 674 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,639 I believe is how it's pronounced. Seed them yellow brick road, 675 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:13,440 any of your achillas, your yarrows, like firefly, sunshine, lemon 676 00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:16,519 zest Oh so easy rose. I had that in my 677 00:38:16,639 --> 00:38:20,320 lands landscape, and Stacey threw up this exercise. I've realized 678 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,000 there's many yellow plants I love in the landscape. Potentilla 679 00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:28,679 happy face yellow potentilla, Saint John's wart Sonny Boulevard. 680 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 2: Two great pollinator plants, by the way. 681 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: Exactly amazing daisies, banana cream. Oh, that's such a great plant. 682 00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 2: That is so pretty. 683 00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: It is. 684 00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 2: And like I was saying about the about the yellow 685 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,800 and white Davidils. It's just a nice twist. I mean, 686 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,199 Shasta daisy's are fabulous and they're already yellow and white. 687 00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:50,280 But banana cream is just such a pretty plant. It 688 00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:52,400 takes my breathway every time I see it. It's what 689 00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:53,480 I need to get in my garden. 690 00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: My mom told me there'd be daisies like this mojave 691 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,320 yellow purse lane. I grow that in my vegetable garden 692 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,320 to attract pollinators, super bells, lemon slice, calibricoa. 693 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 2: That's cool. 694 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,599 Speaker 1: And then we've got to mention the new plant on 695 00:39:09,639 --> 00:39:15,159 the front this year, the super lofuss nice a Sunglow 696 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,119 Texas primrose or it's an onethra. Now talk about a 697 00:39:20,159 --> 00:39:25,880 dependable drought and heat tolerant plant with beautiful yellow flowers. 698 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, and big yellow flowers too. It's definitely if you 699 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,159 see that one and you have a lot of sun 700 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,119 and you feel like you are not a reliable water 701 00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:38,920 for waterer for your containers, that would be a great choice. 702 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: Show off for Scythia. I know we're past early spring, 703 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,119 but show off for Scythia will give you yellow yellow 704 00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:49,320 color like you can't believe. And then, Stacey, I want 705 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,239 to ask you about because I have it growing up 706 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:58,239 the pergola now a non invasive scentsation honeysuckle that's in 707 00:39:58,519 --> 00:40:05,320 bloom in the green for spring sails. Those blooms are spectacular. 708 00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 2: They are, and they hummingbirds love them. And it just 709 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,880 has so many of them. And that has a nice 710 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,000 combination of sort of that powdery blue foliage, you know, 711 00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:18,079 that kind of like blueish waxy foliage. Beautiful combination. 712 00:40:18,519 --> 00:40:23,679 Speaker 1: It's a great plant. Sun credible yellow sunflowers or helianthus. 713 00:40:24,159 --> 00:40:28,920 I mentioned the sun king Aurelia for shade lemon coral 714 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,320 seedum to use as a spiller, let's say, in a 715 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:38,440 container raised for days. Heliopsis I had mentioned the going 716 00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:45,159 bananas day lilies, Tuscan sun fun yellow Colomatis. 717 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that is such a cool plant. Adriana 718 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,880 loves that. She's a huge smile on her face because 719 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,559 she loves this plant. And it's another one you have 720 00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:55,320 to see to believe, because you know everyone knows clematis, 721 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,360 but it unlike other clematis, the flowers kind of hang 722 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,239 down right like little yellow octopi. They have a lot 723 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,400 of long petals. It smells a little bit like grapefruit, 724 00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:09,719 just a beautiful, soft yellow color, very long blooming. This 725 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,840 is a newer clematis, and this is definitely one. This 726 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,920 isn't gonna be one of those clematists that kind of 727 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,679 cover your whole fence or whole railing. This is more 728 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,360 of a perennial garden clematist that you would grow on 729 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,800 a smaller trellis or something like that. But you will 730 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,280 not regret it. This is every time I see this plant, 731 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,599 I'm like, is that real? 732 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's amazing and it perfectly fits 733 00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:36,559 the description canary gold in my mind. It's just such 734 00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:41,000 a great plant goldilocks, rocks bidens. And we have to 735 00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:43,559 mention the reminiscent yellow rose. 736 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 2: Oh yes, very new, very cool yellow roses. You know 737 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,679 in the rose world, yellow is actually the hardest variety 738 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,480 to develop disease resistance in. And that is why in 739 00:41:56,559 --> 00:41:58,679 our rose series, like lemons Oh so easy lemons s 740 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,920 that you mentioned before, and Reminiscent yellow were some of 741 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,599 the later additions to our line because they really needed 742 00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:07,880 we needed a lot more plants and a lot more 743 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,079 testing to make sure that they met our standards for 744 00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:13,480 disease resistance, because I don't know what it is about roses, 745 00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:16,039 but there's something in the genes that make the yellow 746 00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:21,000 color that tends to reduce their ability to withstand, you know, 747 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,360 diseases like powdery mildew and black spots. So a lot 748 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,400 of extra testing goes into those yellow roses. 749 00:42:26,639 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 1: Interesting and of course to wrap it up, maestro gold, hummingbird, mint, agistachi, 750 00:42:33,159 --> 00:42:37,440 and then of course supertunias now have yellow, and some 751 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:43,320 pretty good yellow supertunias in honey petuna or saffron finch. 752 00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 2: So I love finch. That is not only a great color, 753 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,199 but a truly high performer. Couldn't believe my eyes when 754 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,159 I had that in my garden. I said that a 755 00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:54,840 lot this time, but I couldn't believe my eyes. 756 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: Sorry, it's true, but it's true yellow. You've got some 757 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,079 great opportunity to enjoying your landscape this year.
