Shade Plant Inspiration // Garden Answer

I love it! I also love how every time I have a question in one of your videos, you end up answering it before I even have to ask. Thanks for sharing what fertilizer you use!

The lamium really spreads. You can space that very far apart. It is a sure fire winner. It keeps blooming all season, and comes back reliably every year. It can be pulled up easily if it creeps into areas, or around other plants were you don't want it to go.

THANK YOU for telling us if the plant is an annual or perennial because sometimes i'm not sure 😍👍🏼

As always I love it. Ben

We have lamium (purple deadnettle) all over our yard and they smell so bad whenever​ I cut the grass.
I don't think people give enough credit to oxalis plants ( the clover look alike). They bloom pretty much all of spring to Autumn and they are edible. though eating too much can give you kidney stones.
That said, they produce tubers that will probably cause problems should you want​ to remove them as they come back easily.

Laura, love your beautiful shade video! We live in Ohio where it's more humid and rains a lot. Unfortunately this brings lots of slugs to my shade gardens:( Do you have slug problems in your shade gardens? And what would you recommend using to kill or deter them? They feast on my hosta and almost any other plant:(

Do you think I could make the Lamium work in a zone 9 if I watered it a lot?

Can you plant more budget friendly plants? Proven Winners are very expensive and many people cannot afford to buy them.

Thanks!

How did you get rid of the gophers?

Can you do a video of good house plants? Thanks.

I luv, and look forward to your videos. You are educational, and detailed with explaining things to us. I'm always inspired to plant more, and do more.

Thank you again for the videos!!

Thats nice! I planted some hostas aswell 👍

Very pretty.

I absolutely LOVE your videos !!!!!!

Are the hostas genetically modified?

Any update on your bees? 🐝

pretty color combo

Can you make a video of all the types of soil you use and which one is used for what kind of planting? I'll be starting my garden in Florida soon and would love to know more about the types soil before starting ! 😊

Shade gardens can be so awesome

Ok ok this might sound weird but...could you do a tour of your parents garden? you always go over there and from the glimpses Ive seen...I kinda wanna see the entire thing

Hostas are great and pop a light color its amazing and coleus its great in contrast you have a great sense of color its amazing how do you do it its just amazing

Hi Laura,
I love coming to work at night and seeing what's happening next in your wonderful garden ,love the video's such a joy to watch !
Questions , I was wondering "Do you get all your Plants from your parents garden center"? Cheers

My poor Hosta is inside .. snails and slugs love it. I'm not so keen on them lol

Love it! Have a shady area and was stumped on how to add some color to it, i will definitely be doing this!

where did you get the beautiful fountain from that you have in your yard it is beautiful thanks

I'd love to see more on shade perennials that grow tall. Looking for something that might work as a privacy screen that grows pretty fast. Love your videos. You were the inspiration for my new love of gardening! Thank you!!

You are in jacksfilms latest video! I freaked out when i saw you! [THE SUGGESTED VIDEOS GAME (YIAY #336)]

YOU R SO BEAUTIFUL...

I'm excited to see how it'll come up in a few months!

Very helpful! I have a few shady areas in front of my house and I've been wondering what to plant there. Thanks for the suggestions!

It's very pretty! I love your ideas with shade options, particularly since my yard continues to get more shade as the years go by. I am curious why you have used two different fertilizers for what you planted. I realize that your have annuals and perennials, but why does that make a difference in their nutrient needs? Thanks.

Do you have any ideas on what can grow under a blue spruce?

Looking lovely i take notes have to type them in my mac, the go back to the vid for the rest of the info. You vids inspire me and i love the way you just want us all to know what is what x

What brand of mulch do you use?

U have too many gulfers

How does this look now?

How long will it take for this area to fill in?

What does this area look like now?

Can the new Guinea inpatients in containers take afternoon sun? I wanted these in containers as fillers ?

Is hosta a perennial?

Hi! At what time of year do you fertilize lamium? And what fertilizer do you use for it?

Will the Lamium smoother anything out? Do you have to keep the pulled back away from the hostas?

Great suggestions! Just be careful with Lamium because it's highly invasive where I live in a zone 8.

Laura is an inspiration with all her plant ideas for shade gardens! I am making my list of annual and perennial plants to order from the nursery. The selection of these plants is gorgeous!

💜💜

And to think there is a Hartley Greenhouse on this very spot. So glad I’ve been here since the beginning and seeing the remarkable transformations.

Is there a follow up on this video To see how it looked afterwards?
