hey friends it is time for our weekly nursery update
so let's go hop in the kubota and go to the
nursery
so there is the nursery where all the customers come
and shop and we are headed up to the production greenhouse on the
other part of the property kind of our little secret hidden gem
here at creekside not many people get to see it but
you do so here we go
here we're coming up to the shrub lot
all right we're here
we're here up at the production greenhouse where the mums are
and what you know it's starting to rain that's life here at creekside i just got my
hair done today and looking good and feeling fancy and now
it's raining but that's creekside oh my goodness y'all do you see what i
see down on this row i see color it's a little early but
there is some yellow popping through so that's what happens with your mums
when they're under stress so when it gets really hot
and they don't maybe get enough water or enough fertilizer they'll go ahead and
go to bloom so that is how jerry kind of
keeps these from blooming early if he starts to see
some of them like down here look at these
see they've got buds all over them so he will try to really sock some
fertilizer to him to keep them from going all the way to
bloom but if you remember we did these on june
the 6th we potted them up there are two mums in each pot
and they're doing well so we've got about another four
weeks four to six weeks really before we want the first ones
to come in full bloom because you know september around here is kind
of the prime time but while we're over here let's go
ahead and hit the shrub lot up here so this is another
shrub lot that we have where we are growing just
obviously tons of different shrubs the greenhouse
is right here off to my right the black lines that you see this is the
irrigation that we have running jerry can run the irrigation he
can run fertilizer through here look at this so we've talked about this
before how we're partners with proven winners
look at this beautiful dianthus this is brand new for next year this is
the new color of the paint the town series and this is fancy
so they sent us some of the new perennial introductions for us to grow
so that we would have a little bit of experience with them before next
spring season so we would know exactly what to tell you about these plants so
fancy is doing great so far there is a salvia that is
the color spires snow kiss so this will be a great
white perennial salvia has not started blooming for us yet
not sure if it will this season or not it is hardy in zones three
two eight will get to be about 20 inches tall
and it does like full sun so that is good to know
um let's see where shall we start let's start over on this side
i just got so ahead of myself this is a crape myrtle believe it or not so this
is a crape myrtle bush this particular one
jenny's trying to find a tag there is no tag
cherry mocha jerry says it's cherry mocha but it has no tag
so all of these perennial um crape myrtles obviously they are perennials
they're shrubs they are petite they are part of the
barista series absolutely gorgeous color on them so
there's the cherry mocha right here then we've got
hydrangeas galore they are in all different stages of
blooming this one i believe is a little lime or a little lime or lime
like couldn't tell on the tag but just those beautiful panacle
hydrangeas nice creamy white that will turn to a
beautiful kind of a limey green so we've got those
that are going on you can tell that these guys we've just
primed them back like last week we talked about how
remember how they your hydrangeas may get really floppy
well even our hydrangeas that are brand new get a little floppy sometimes
so we know that pruning them back in this fall they can already have
new blooms on them so those are doing wonderfully well
you can see the sprinter box woods right over here these sprinter boxwoods
will do sun or shade they are fantastic they are
fast growing two to four feet tall and wide they're
easily adaptable to the landscape or large containers so you can shape
them however you want to so we love those
we've got a bunch of the oso roses here um this there's paprika
i think we've got a at last rose in here somewhere it's just a little bit of
everything up here but look at all this nice dense
foliage this particular one
is yes the hot paprika so this is the landscape rose it's going
to be more of a shorter rose it's going to be
one to two feet tall and wide hearty in zones
three through nine so very adaptable um oh i do want to show you this
come on now i've never we've never this is our first year growing this and this
is like an obstacle course tiptoeing through
here so pardon me okay look
jerry's coming too hopefully he doesn't trip um
look at this great bush now you're thinking oh jenny that's yeah that's a
green bush yeah that's that's pretty neat
well this is called low scape mound aronia so i'm going to show you this is
just a fabulous shrub for us in the south it does really
nice delicate white blooms in the spring it is hardy
in zones three through nine so i can't even say the south because it's
pretty adaptable anywhere one to two feet tall
two feet wide so it's going to be a little wider than it is tall
it has gorgeous fall colors to it nice burgundy color
you could do this in a mass planting as like a ground cover because they are
nice and low and wide so we have a lot of people looking for
ground covers this is technically not a ground cover but it will act like one
sun to part shade rarely needs to be pruned yay for that
it is just a fantastic little plant cannot wait
look at the fall color on that look at that
beautiful red so sweet and then behind us we have beautyberries
i love beautyberries here's a great one to show you
so beautyberries are um just a great shrub
they are deciduous you can see that they put on these little small
delicate white blooms when the blooms are done
then the berries start to form in late fall
they will turn this beautiful orchid purple color so so pretty
just covered in the bush that's why it's called a
beauty berry who is that masked dog running through the field
that's rosie that's my parent's dog
she's a puppy she's only a year old but you've got to see rosebud
all right oh very exciting and it's raining even harder but we'll
we're going to go keep on going look look what is below me
hibiscus hardy hibiscus this are this are oh y'all can you tell it's
kind of getting kind of late in the evening
these are the new introductions for next year
french vanilla so going on this week is the summerific
week between proven winters and walters gardens because walters gardens
is the source of these fantastic hearty hibiscus
so this is a little sneak peek for you for next year
they are covered in buds i do not have any blooms yet
so i've got this french vanilla so that's one of the new introductions
and then there's also going to be how fun is this
spinderella i'm telling you the lady that has this job to name the
plants is the best job ever so spinderella has that great pink and
white bi-color again remember these hearty hibiscus are great in like
zones four to nine very adaptable they love
the heat they love the sun even in the colder climates they do
really well they die back completely in the wintertime
they come back in the heat of the summer
this one is going to have a little bit of a darker foliage knot doesn't have
the buds on it yet that the french vanilla does but i mean
we're talking about look at this bud right here
just another few days and it is going to be
open and i get to share with you its gorgeous color
all right jerry where shall we go next do we go inside and look at the babies
let's talk about that okay let's talk about that so we're going to go over
here now remember we are a working nursery
creekside nursery in dallas north carolina
we are the grower so we have stages of all plants
and a couple of weeks ago we got in 1300 baby shrubs
and guess what we're doing tomorrow we are potting them
up so look for that video because it will be coming
um oh my goodness there is just a ton of different shrubs in
here we have got an azalea look at the color of that bud
if that's not the most precious shade of pink i have ever seen in my life
this is perfecto mundo double pink and wonderful so we got lots of
different hydrangeas we've got butterfly bushes these are
this is the pugster white you can see them that they are really
starting to um put on lots of buds with that
beautiful pure white bloom so we've got those
we've got the amethyst back here in the back the pugster
amethyst let's see if i can show you this
is that attached it is attached and make sure i'm getting this right
this is huh it's a hydrangea and oh oh this is the new one okay
sorry i had to get a little bit wee bit giddy
that's the name of it wee bit giddy look at the sweetness of that little bud so
we will take these quart size shrubs and we will move them up
to three gallon size shrubs where they will continue to grow
and just fill in and be happy some of them will be ready
this fall and then some of them will be ready
next spring roses of sharon look at this this is the chiffon white
look at that it is only like a little four inch pot
but she is trying so hard she's just a great
a great one so there's the white then there is magenta
behind me so it's still part of that chiffon series
that great magenta so all of these will be available
um like i said just depending on how they fill in their pots
either this fall definitely next spring so anything that you see that i'm
talking about and i am skipping a ton because there's a gazillion plants in
here more butterfly bushes more roses of
sharon this is pugster blue
we've got little limes we've got limelights so much
to do we've got speaking of three gallons
over here these are little quick fires which are great panicle hydrangeas
um they're very similar in habit to the um little lime so like a three
three by five and just a great shrub fantastic so much going on
