hello friends it is Jenny here with Gardening with Creekside hope you're
having a great day it is time for our weekly nursery tour / update if you are
anywhere in the South heck anywhere in the country this week has been very wet
and rainy and today was no exception but alas it ended with the rain ending and
gorgeous color arriving we got another delivery from Fourstar Greenhouses up
in Michigan so a big shout out and thank you to Erica for hooking us up with lots
of gorgeous color so we're going to walk through and show you all the beautiful
annual color that we got today because you local people have just wiped us out
which is a great thing so we needed to restock so we've got a lot of great
things with that also we just did a video on Aquapots we have five pallets
of new shipment of Aquapots coming in in the next week or so soon well let you
know stay tuned to social media we'll let you know when they come in those of
you that have pre-ordered awesome and but we've got lots of things to fill in
those Aquapots with so I'm just going to go through all these things out here
that I'm going to show you our annuals so just kind of keep that in mind I will
try to talk slow and we'll try to show tags because I know a bunch of you have
been asking for me to slow down and to show tags so I will try to do my best
first of all we'll just start on this side we do have a few of the Suncredible
sunflowers these we've grown we have these this is brand-new from proven
winners this year let me show you the tag so if you're not local you know what
I'm talking about so Suncredible is a reblooming sunflower we previewed this
last year and it is just simply amazing it does best in the landscape though
because it will get in our landscape it was like a four by four foot bush
practically but does these it will just be covered in these great blooms from
now all the way to a hard freeze so Suncredible
we have the brand new this year new introduction of the Vista series Snowdrift
if you have seen my wheelbarrow that's planted over there by the bridge
this is what that white petunia is is the snowdrift the vista series is the
most vigorous of all the petunias and this is a pure white one of course it
does the full Sun it's fantastic its sister is of course the classic the one
the only Bubblegum I know a bunch of you were asking about Bubblegum's they are
here we have them they're gorgeous Bubblegum's are those hanging baskets
that we planted in the bank see the massive hanging basket and I planted it
in the bank that's what that is we have Bordeaux Bordeaux is another
it's not a Vista but it is a super petunia supertunia rather this is what I
planted and our little corner bed at the front of our house we did a video on
that one also so Bordeaux is a fantastic annual petunia and then the Picasso's oh
my word y'all the Picasso's in purple are some
of this unique gorgeous stunning the petunias ever we have a great customer
of ours and she had taken a hanging basket and put it in this big giant
white container we were over there this week and it was just simply magnificent
so remember all supertunias can go into the ground they do great hanging baskets
containers and the ground so supertunias they like it wet they can handle it
especially in our clay soil that we have here in the Piedmont of North Carolina
so you can stick those bad boys in the ground and they will do wonderfully we
also got we find you the right one here doop de doop to do you this great
verbena now this is white out white out is again a pure white bloom so verbena
loves the hot Sun and the whiteout is one of the most
vigorous spreaders so this is nice and controlled right now but it will spread
big time does great in the landscape and containers really really pretty love
this one the white knight the sweet alyssum all of their alyssums are
fantastic they have this really sweet delicate smell I love them I've done
hanging baskets containers so the white knight alyssum is here Lantana I mean if
you've got a hot space Lantana is great so we've got both the citrus blend and
then I have a yellow one too but it's in a different spot so these are in quartz
I have them in gallons also here we go folks
all of you who've been wanting the lemon coral sedum we have it in quarts and
gallons for us because we are in North Carolina a zone 7 B lemon coral will be
a perennial for us it is a perennial in zones 7 and above so lemon coral is
great course we have all the grasses the fireworks the purple fountain grass the
Prince Tut love prints Tut fantastic coming over here to all the new color
royal velvet now these are in gallons this royal velvet is in a gallon it is a
petunia again does great landscape containers hanging baskets but the color
on that is just so rich it truly does look like velvet my mama was here
helping us unload and put the plants out and she says it really looks like velvet
and it does like you want to touch it and think it has like a fuzzy feel but
it really doesn't then of course that's the lemon coral again that I was telling
you it's in gallons so just massive lemon color it's great come over here
all sorts of portulaca we had sold out of portulaca because
let me tell you you people love some portulaca so it's back in stock now
we have the pink the red and the yellow so again portulaca it is an annual right
now it is not blooming and it's interesting with the portulaca but the
blooms open and close with the Sun so you can see there's a little bit of a
yellow trying to show but we also oh here we go we got a little red pop an
open there we go so it's trying portulaca is great if you
have an area that's really hot and dry so the lemon corals see them does really
well in the hot hot Sun portulaca blue my mind
evolvulus it is one of my favorite plants it is a low-growing has this beautiful
blue bloom on it kind of a silver gray foliage loves the Sun it's just very
very low-maintenance I mean it's just like the easiest plant to grow so we
have those got more of that then we have some superbells superbells or
calibrachoas million bells however you want to say it the this is holy moly
holy moly is a really fun buy color of the pink and the yellow so we have holy
moly then we have holy cow which is more pink with a little bit of yellow and
that's the whole holy series and then we have the grape punch and grape punch is
very similar to that royal velvet color but it has a yellow eye to it so it is
great beautiful alright now the one that has the most flower power out here are
you ready look at this massive gorgeous bloom on this Dahlia so we got some
dahlias and I'm going to totally butcher this name so I'm gonna let Jerry zoom in
on the name here Castillo I'm gonna it's gonna guess on that one
fifteen to eighteen inches tall this will make a perfect thriller in a
container because of the color the height so we have this is castillo then
moving on down here we have some pinks this one let Jerry zoom in on that one oh
so pretty this is Cadena again I'm just gonna go ahead and
apologize for me butchering that name if you will look at that tag now these are
one gallon containers so this is not a wimpy shrimpy look at that that is a
nice sized plant gorgeous you could just put this in a container all by itself I
mean you don't even have to add stuff to it makes great cut flowers and it blooms
all season long so it's a continuous bloomer all sorts of great things does
best in the container though so it's not going to be one that you're really gonna
look to be putting in the ground then we have a yellow one I'm not sure on the
name on that one Jerry's getting ahead of me we have out
if you can see it's kind of hard but we do have honeybees buzzing around here
they are very excited to have all these beautiful flowers
oh speaking of so Jerry I don't know if you can see right here so this is Miss
Molly if you can zoom it on that little honeybee look at that sweet thing so
this is Miss Molly it is a butterfly bush oh there's another honeybee on this
one so clearly the pollinators love this it is just a great raspberry colored
butterfly bush four to five feet tall let me show you a tag I really am trying
to do better y'all so there's Miss Molly
we love butterfly bushes just continuous bloomers massive flowers gorgeous this
yellow was Romero so this is a great one again just
that pure yellow we've got some couple other things we've got oh this is a
really fun now you might look at this plant and go Jenny you need to water
your plants well not really so this is cascade white angelona angelface
cascade white so it is meant to have that drooping texture to it love this I
had the pink in a hanging basket with some of that sweet alyssum that white
but can you imagine doing an all-white container
doing this alyssum the white verbena oh you just have a whole white container
that would be stunning and if you wanted to do an all-white container then this
would be a great one to add as your thriller so this is still the white
angelona but it's the super white which means this is fantastic for large
containers or than landscape so this is that angel face that we all know and
love it's like a Snapdragon but it's the super size so they're really big in fact
they can get thirty to forty inches tall so if you're looking for a good white
thriller this one would be a fantastic one all right let's see Oh vermillionaire
I'm not going to show you for
vermillionaire cuz it's over there
we're gonna come over here into the shade but we've got tons vermillionaire
if you remember we did that video with proven winners about
vermilionaire hummingbird attractor that's a fantastic plant we got more of
those in speaking of remember I've time out snow drift the weekly update on the
look at this to give you some perspective of how big this thing is
just loving life and this is after four Monday Tuesday with like three four days
of rain so after four days of good hard rain this container still looks like
this there are some blooms that are on the ground some of the petunias look a
little bedraggled but that's alright overall you know I say she's doing
pretty good for getting pounded of rain for four days all right let's go into
the past it's so peaceful here especially after a
good rain and the birds have just been going nuts today like they've
practically empty the feeders that I just filled up today but look at this
and listen it's so quiet I love it this is my favorite time over here
it's getting dark it's quiet peaceful it's fantastic alright speaking of
peaceful and quiet and all that shade obviously we're here at the pines shade
this is a great heuchera this is Wild Rose Primo Wild Rose
remember heucheras Corabells are fantastic for their foliage this is a
perennial so it does great in the landscape or containers either one it
only gets to be about eight to ten inches tall they'll do flower spikes but
it's mostly for the foliage that's why you're growing it and this is just has
this great purple hue to it is wonderful and it will do Sun to shade so depending
on your conditions you can stick it in either of those locations then coming
over here back to annuals so this is our shade annual section this is the
rockapulco double impatience there's a whole line
of them from proven winners this is the purple and this is just absolutely
beautiful did you get this sorry I forget that he has to get a picture of
the tag fantastic so inpatiens are gonna be shade they
can handle a little bit of that morning Sun remember again going back to another
video that shade bed garden that I showed you I don't know last week where
I was outside of our kitchen along the side of our kitchen and I had these but
in rose and that was this is the purple so this is a gallon so this is a massive
container you can do this just by itself or you can mix it in with other
containers or you can put it in the ground so there is purple
this is what I have over there in that shade bed this is the rose look at that
that whole rockapulco series is fantastic and then brand-new this year
we were only able to get one tray of it but hey we have it Orange
so the beautiful orange double inpatien it's fantastic so whether you've got Sun
or you've got shade we now have annual color for you to choose from all of
these plants if you're getting an Aquapot or you're interested in Aquapots
