hello friends welcome to gardening with creekside and we are doing a very
special nursery update because we got all of this gorgeous fall color in
yesterday and i cannot wait to share it with you
so what we have is just an absolute sea of pansies and violas and all sorts
of wonderful components that you can use to create gorgeous
fall color for your landscape or your containers so we're going to kind
of walk through and let you see them for our local
people here at creekside in the dallas charlotte
area region we will have all of these available
beginning on thursday through saturday this will probably be our big order as
far as the fall color before all of the ones that we
planted up will be ready the end of october so if
you have a specific color of pansies or violas that you're looking for
or you see something on this video that you're really interested in
you need to come and get them this weekend because
supplies are limited and when they're gone they're gone and we're not going to
get any more so just letting you know if you like
something get your hiney out here and come get them now before we really
get started let me tell you the difference between pansies and
violas like what is the deal all right so pansies and violas
pansies are a type of violas but violas are not necessarily pansies
you get what i'm saying so it's violas and pansies are a type of it
pansies of course both of them love the
full sun that's how you get all your blooms
so full sun requirements violas are a little bit
more shade tolerant than your pansies pansies of course have the big huge
massive blooms on them violas have a little bit of a smaller
bloom but they have more blooms on the plant
so they still give you mass of color there's just
more blooms that are smaller versus a few big
fat blooms of the pansy pansies typically get a little bit taller
violas are a little bit shorter of course you can mix and match them they
do great together violas will also tend to trail a little
bit more violas will also bounce back
quicker if we have a really cold snap so they will be good bloomers
even in january and february let's see if i missed anything i don't
think so um violas of course are also known as
johnny jump ups and so if you've ever heard them that
way that's what they're called so what we're going to do is just go through
here and look at them all the colors so i
have emily today is my camera lady as opposed to
jerry he is off at a landscape job so we're gonna
do a great job here today i have no doubt now they just got watered
so they are wet now i'm not gonna go through all the colors
like the technical covers colors but this is a gorgeous blue
this is a pansy and you can see that nice
big really pretty color with that little yellow dot
in the center so there are blues of course what i was holding um
in our little thumbnail picture this is the citrus mix so it's yellows
oranges and whites all together just i mean if you're just looking for
something a little pop of sun well here you go you cannot go wrong
with this one now you can see when the truck came
yesterday we just kind of well we didn't throw them down but we
placed them in a quick hurry down here so some of these in the back
i'm not going to be able to get to a whole lot
but look at this one now this one is one of my favorites
this is considered light blue look at that is that not gorgeous
i mean just stunning so so pretty so the light blue
then we have okay now we're getting into some violas
now you'll see when i'm talking about this
look at that that sweet little bloom right there
just absolutely precious so there are tons of colors i'm trying
to figure out myself which ones i'm going to do this is a
great bi-color one i mean that just screams
fall it is just a really great little viola
then m if you'll pan over here there's some great
these are some pansies the big orange ones are pansies
let me go down there's a couple of mixes in there
then we have the yep those are just gorgeous look at that
purple and yellow together i mean y'all i just want to plant them all
i don't know where they're going to go but i just want to plant them all now
this might be one of my favorites of course another
viola but look at the color
on these beauties absolutely gorgeous now this is called rose so i'll
give you an idea if you're looking for something
that is rose then there's whites m can show you the whites back there
there are um let's see you know what guys these might be the
trailing pansies so m shoot those again right quick
just shoot them on down so there is the white
trailing then there is some purples then this one over here
is a beautiful almost like an ice blue
i mean look at those colors gorgeous so we're going to pan through
right here there's some beautiful yellows
i know i had a friend today because i put this up on instagram and she was
like i'm coming for the yellow violas because
they do beautiful in my yard so much better than pansies
she lives in a really mature established yard has a yard
older house big trees so she's already figured out that violas do really well
for her and then coming over here
that was a little quick little turn there hopefully it wasn't too rough for
you all right come down here em i'm gonna
show you this is what's called dusty miller dusty
miller is a fantastic foliage plant now it just got watered so
it's wet typically it has a great silver color to
it even your big leaves had that silver
green foliage to it now this would be fantastic
to mix in the landscape and your containers a whole different
kind of dimension just really really pretty so we love the dusty miller
we're going to stand up nice and slow showing that
excellent i'm gonna come up beside of you this is real life people
our kids are involved in every single part of this nursery
whether it is potting up plants or helping customers
or shooting videos for their mama because their daddy's landscaping
i mean they do it all they're hopefully hopefully they'll be great well-rounded
adults um emily's laughing behind you okay so
more creeping jenny is in remember we love the creeping jenny
because it is such a great spiller for the containers
i think all the chocolate has been sold but we have this great
lime creeping jenny she's great now if you're looking for
some fun interest this is called bright lights swiss chard
so swiss chard is actually an edible like you can eat it
but in this case we're going to be using it as an accent plant
with some color this is going to be a great thriller
for both the landscape and your container so if you've got some
if you've got like rose violas or yellow violas this would
you know just pair beautifully with it because it gives you that height
but all this color on the stalks of course it's a great cool weather
plant so this is a great one so we've got
that we've also got the ivy so if you're looking for a trailer this
is the variegated ivy and then we have mu stay right there
then we have just the great classic solid green ivy
again what makes a great spiller into your containers really pretty
um and we're going to go around this way babe
coming on over here we've got all sorts of types of
kales and cabbages again this is in this case we're selling it as an
ornamental but i actually grew this exact same kale
in my garden this year as an edible just know we're selling it
as an accent plant so both of these are
kale there's red borer and winter borer these
will get taller of course just a little bit i think
they're right around that 18 to 24 inches maybe
sounds good 12 to 24 we'll say 12 to 24. um
again gives you some height in the containers or the landscape
really neat accent plant and then if you like
the little squatty guys what i call the saucers we've got tons
of those now you'll notice that there's not a whole lot of the
ornamental color yet on the center of them
that will come as the temperatures get colder at night
so they've actually got to have some cool temperatures for that color to
change in the center but we'll have a red one
and then we have a white one so again great in all types of
applications use it just tons of different ways we
still have ornamental grasses to put in there that
are perennials um i feel like we're missing something but
anyway all of that to say we have got tons of
fall color for you here at creekside nursery so again if
you're local come see us thursdays through saturday nine to three
we'll be here you'll get to meet em she'll be on the other side and so you
can actually see your sweet little face as always thank you so much thanks for
bearing with us as we did this quick little tour
of all the fall color you all have a fantastic day we'll see you next time
