Hey friends welcome to this week's Nursery Tour we have got some beautiful uh fall annuals in
just yesterday so we're going to show you those but also so we're going to do a fun little twist
this week you are going to get Jenny's nursery tour today and then you are going to get Jerry's
Nursery Tour we actually have a truck that just pulled up um with some great new shrubs um but
we thought it would be really fun to kind of do a Jenny's Edition Jerry's edition of the nursery
tour because of course we're two different people yes we are married and we think a lot alike but
we are two separate people and we see things differently and we have different viewpoints
on things and so we thought it would be really fun to kind of see the garden center through different
eyes and let you get to experience that so I'm going to focus on um more of like the annuals
maybe the perennials then Jerry's going to show you all of the great new shrubs that are coming
in so that will be a separate separate video so make sure that you uh look for that cuz he
is always fun and entertaining when he does his nursery tours and y'all adore him as much as I
do so let's come on in here it is the middle of October the temperatures have cooled down it is
fantastic uh and we got like I said yesterday a beautiful beautiful selection of new annuals so
we separate them between violas and pansies um because they are obviously two separate plants
very very similar but they are separate now in order to grow your pansies and vielas you need
full sun so a minimum of I would say five to six hours of good Sun keep in mind that your
summer sun and your winter sun could be very different I know it is in certain parts of my
garden so make sure you have enough sun to keep them flowering one of my favorite things um about
pansies and violas is all the great colors that they come in right so here we have violas we've
talked about this before but we'll hit it one more time just in case you don't remember is
that violas will have a smaller uh flower head but they have more blooms per plant they tend to
be a little bit more cold tolerant um a little bit more heat tolerant perhaps so I have found
that violas will continue to bloom throughout the coldest parts of the Season where maybe my pansies
kind of take a break and then they'll bring come back up in you know late winter early spring the
color Max series and going let Jerry get in here and show you these beautiful colors this is one
of a very very popular color this is Beacon Rose and the color Max series um is more heat
tolerant and more cold tolerant meaning that yes you can plant these when it's 80 something plus
degrees and they're not going to stretch they will continue to bloom they will also bloom in
those coldest months of the year so the color Max is a great great series and then then we
have um look at all of these fun colors so these are mixes this is the sorbet series and so you've
got the yellows and the purples and the oranges in there um just a beautiful mix so if you love
just splashes of color then these uh sorbet mixes would be a great one for you a great great option
coming down if you tend to like a little bit more of the more pastel colors these are again
the color Max series and this is Lemonberry mix so hop on in here and look look at that y'all is that
not just a beautiful beautiful flower I mean it looks like a watercolor I just adore it now the
other day we were in the chicken CP Gardens and we were planting uh more of the color Max the clear
orange I cleared out the uh the nursery with the clear orange we have got more of those color Max
this is the clear yellow so you can see just when they say it's clear it means it's solid so it's a
solid yellow a solid Orange um you will also get what we call um blotches we'll get that more over
when we go to the pansies and a blotch is simply like a darker center right so lots and lots of
colors there we also got some more um I guess you would call them like The Thrillers of containers
so we have the artemesia this is still that New Look which is a great silver accent um and you can
see how much it is growing since we got it this is um some of these are still the original ones
that we got a couple of weeks ago they have filled in quite nicely all of these plants really thrive
in cooler conditions now a really fun one this is Cardon and Cardon uh is you can see is it may look
like it's kind of thorny it is not um it will be a a great really spineless it is edible if you want
to I it's kind of like celery um I particularly don't enjoy eating it but uh you're uh it will
get um nice uh you know height and continue to grow and give you gorgeous new foliage as the
season goes on just like any other whether it's the mustard or the Cabbage or the kale your outer
leaves right um if if they kind of drive you crazy maybe they're a little worn just go ahead and trim
them because you've got beautiful new growth coming up but this just brings a whole another
different texture um and color than say a kale or a beautiful mustard go look at this this is what
when I tell you that Miz America mustard will get height to it and a good size like I just want to
show you like look to put it in perspective look how big this plant is and it will continue to do
this all season long all the way up through the spring finally when the heat of the spring early
summer hits then that's when it's done um but until then you've got beautiful foliage coming
out of it if you want to go in there and clean up the edges you can just go in and pick them
off just like that it's no problem it continues to put out new foliage um throughout the growing
season makes a gorgeous Thriller filler with these plants you can put it in the landscape you can put
it in containers however you want to use it you can um in all of those various ways let's go on
down back over here to show you more of the colors of course the moms I'm matching today look at that
I'm coordinating with the moms last week I think I was in like a gold yellow So today we're wearing a
beautiful uh Violet uh color today um moms still great right this is if if you have events please
come get these mums they are gorgeous all you have to do is water them this is the early batch of
mums they are in full bloom but they still have buds all over them so these are not done these
are not spent just stick them outside with the mum since they're already blooming if you want to put
them in a shadier area you absolutely can just keep them watered that's all you have to do if
you want to use them as perennials you can because all of our mums are Belgian mums meaning that they
are cold hearty you just need to get them in the ground get their Roots established before the cold
cold hits so for us that's quite a while we still have um other batches of like the mid to the late
mums like this one for example this would be like a mid mid Bloomer because you're starting to see a
little bit of color but it still has tons of buds on it so don't think my local people that I only
have mums that are in full bloom I don't I have other ones that are still budding and H will take
you all the way through end of December we're over here in pansy land and this is what I was talking
about like when we say the pansy or the viola has a blotch this is what you would call the blotch
so this is the color this is the Colossus fire Colossus is another series um and they just call
it that because they have really nice big big um flowers on them the I love this one this is
the beacon field like look at these colors like how in the world do you choose see that's where
my problem is is because I have enough add in me that I just want like I want one of everything I
want to put all the colors in the ground but yeah that's hard to do so we've got all these gorgeous
colors we've got the rose in the pansy so if you want the rose with the blot that is also
available in the pans look at this one uh this is the grandio beacon Rose how pretty would these be
paired with the viola Beacon Rose because they're this tends to have a little bit more white in it
and then you put the viola with it oh my gosh or you could even just do these two together would
be really really pretty the blue is always a um a very very popular color this is the grandio blue
with blot look at that if that's not a classic pansy I just I don't know what is it is gorgeous
and of course the blues and the yellows complement each other really nicely so you could absolutely
do some sort of mix whether you wanted to just do a random mix of them together or if you do like I
do and plant say a group of three or four yellows together and then three or four blues back and
forth so you have like big patches throughout it really is up to you um more purples we've got the
whites of course white will compliment and Mak anything pop so even that white with the blue
because sometimes those darker colors will tend to kind of Fade Into the the landscape so you want to
pair a darker color maybe look at this beautiful purple right this is a nice solid purple go ahead
and pair the purple with either the yellow because it's got a yellow throat or the white
and they really complement each other and they will make each other look better right um coming
on over here because we sold out of these guys so fast I just walked through a spiderweb what is it
say the early Gardener gets the spider webs well I just got them for you all of these are going to
be the Cool Wave Pansies sold out of these super fast last time so I bumped up the order uh anytime
Jenny's in charge of ordering we always tend to get a little bit more because I have fun shopping
um so these are Cool Wave Pansies which are a trailing pansy and they um the blooms on them
are going to be a little bit smaller than your typical pansy um they look a little bit more like
a viola Bloom as far as their size but they do Trail um they let's see if I can like you can see
that that's not leggy right it's not a leggy plant leggy means that it's tall and gangly it's not it
is just going to be a trailing pansy and so we've got all sorts of different colors what I like to
do is if you're going to do a container put these guys up front or on the edge and then fill in on
the back side with your traditional pansies or violas and those kinds of things because you've
got beautiful cascading look at this look look how beautiful that is um I'm trying to find a tag so
I can just tell you what the color is but I don't see one um oh my gosh just gorgeous absolutely no
tag it's a pretty one how about that um if you're still looking for your Thrillers your container
your um fillers then we've got a great options for you Ascot Rainbow this is a spurge a type of
euphoria I adore this plant year round this is one of my absolute favorite perennials it is mostly
for your foliage so if you know colus right we do that for for color the Ascot Rainbow is going to
be the same it will get some nice height to it in the garden um in the landscape like it can get 2
and 1 half to 3 feet tall and really really full so you can see all of that will will get nice and
Tall it is an evergreen so even in the winter time you're going to have foliage and it's not
going to completely die back of course the Chef's Choice Rosemary this is another wonderful option
I planted mine remember in the ears at the patio and they're doing great I'll give you an update on
those um maybe next week because not only are The Chef's Choice doing great but the we did violas
in that I believe um or pansies I don't remember either one um they are all looking really really
nice all right um I think we hit all the colors on the pansies um perennials it is still a great
time right to come out and plant so whether you're shopping for um whatever kind of things in your
landscape the dianthus look at that it is blooming again of course dianthus is a great spring Bloomer
this is Paint The Town magenta nice and full I love dianis because it is an evergreen even in
the winter you're going to have this really nice matte of that blue foliage it is going to be Hardy
in zones 4 to9 so very very adaptable and then of course the Shasta daisies you just can't go wrong
with the amazing daisies this is banana cream too um you can see that it is still blooming
we did go ahead and you know cut it back after its initial flush and here we are so the banana
cream too gets its name because you have on the same plant your first blooms your little buds
are a nice soft yellow and then as they mature they'll turn a creamy white so very much like a
banana cream pie uh let's see where else we want to go Jerry got any ideas let's see here we go
um oh grasses okay if you we haven't talked about grasses in a while so let's talk about
grasses here because if you've been around me I am a huge fan of grasses whether it's an annual
grass a perennial grass they are really bringing a different texture and um feel
to your garden so these are what we have right here of The Proven Winters these are all going
to be perennial grasses your annual grasses of course do love it warm so they're pretty much
they're on their way out so so here we go let me just give you a little rundown and Jerry can get
in here and show you these beautiful grasses so these are ones that we were growing so yes
they're a little bit on the smaller side right now desert Plains is going to be um a more on
the petite side it is a beautiful green you can see in the fall how it will take on some red Hues
to it and then of course does the plumes this is going to be hearty in zones 5 to 9 and all
of these grasses are going to be full sun next we have a the Prairie winds blue paradise this is a
sky aerium which I love these grasses they are just a whole different beautiful kind of plant
they're going to be 36 to 42 in tall still Hardy in zones 3 to n very upright that has um it can
really take just about anything right so it has great deep wine purple fall color um and I love
Sky accurium I just think they're great you cannot beat that color it is such a fun fun plant we also
have Apache Rose Apache Rose is going to be a bit of a taller one still colmer 48 in tall um Apache
Rose I have in the Gatsby gal bed I have I think three of them in there very upright and you can
see from the picture um and even from the plant it will take on great fall color all of these
grasses are going to have really interesting fall colors to them still Hardy in zones four to 9 so
basically your hardiness zone is anywhere from three to 3 to four all the way down to nine and
then finally the Niagara Falls now Niagara Falls is what we have in the BM and a very upright blue
grass and it's tight like it does not get floppy whatsoever we've had wind we've had rain um all
kind of different kind of weather conditions and it still is very very upright and tight it
does not split down the middle it is um I think probably one of my new favorite grasses for sure
so there are tons of other things that we could go through um but we're going to kind of wrap
it up because Jerry's going to do his nursery tour for all the shrubs that you get to watch
and look at that um but go visit your local garden center right here at Creekside Nursery we are open
