North Carolina they do a lot of great proven winners shrubs annuals all sorts
of good things including this oh so easy peasy landscape Rose she is absolutely
stunning proven winners has the oh so easy whole line of roses they are all
bred and are made to be continuous bloomers in your garden from basically
Spring until fall this is the easy peasy and you can tell that she has these
absolutely gorgeous hot pink blooms I guess it's the best way to describe it
they will get this particular one gets to be about two and a half feet tall two
and a half to three and a half feet tall and wide you can tell it is absolutely
covered in buds so this is a gorgeous one that she's gonna bring lots and lots
of color to your garden this season and beyond we also have it have won the oh
so easy lemon zest which is a beautiful just classic yellow bloom on it too you
tell us a little not quite as vigorous of a grower so if you're looking for
yellow roses I know we had a customer last weekend that was looking for yellow
roses so if your that customer I have them we got some oh look at these
abelia I must show you these if you're looking for a great evergreen landscape
plant that is going to give you color year-round it is not deciduous but it is
low-maintenance abelias are a great option for you sunshine
daydream I want to say is yes see I got it right
excellent been a long day and by the way this is Jenny and all her garden glory
I've been outside all day so please excuse the dirt and the unloaded a
tractor-trailer as Jerry said the Jerry and the crew were at a landscape
job today and so Jenny and my crew aka our three kids unloaded a tractor
trailer so it's been a full day it's been a full day and it's not over yet
but I digress sunshine daydream is a really really pretty this is new for us
but we love abelias just a great variegated color on it creamy yellow
we've got some oranges in there with the new foliage greens gonna make a great
big pop in your yard I'm trying to find where all my my new shrubs are you want
to talk about something that's gonna be fantastic come follow me because dear
heavens as I was taking it off the truck I was thinking where in the world can I
put this in my yard another one from proven winners now
proven winners of course these are gorgeous this is the white chiffon this
are this are these are roses of Sharon so the white chiffon has been around for
a while then we have blue chiffon which is a really really gorgeous beautiful
plant I love it so the Rose of Sharon these bloom at the very end of summer so
when things are starting to look sad and pitiful in your yard these Rose of
Sharon really shine now they can get big so you need to give them some somewhere
that they can fill in and all their glory like I'm talking really like feet
tall so yeah 8 to 12 feet tall they make a gorgeous hedge so they're gonna be
taller than they are wide so 8 to 12 feet tall by only 4 to 6 feet wide our
sweet Christine gave me the white one last year and so she has a very special
place that she's going but that's not the what I was so excited about I mean I
was excited about it but that's not what I'm excited at right now let me show you
this is brand new this year I'm trying to find one to show you oh so pretty
you ready here is magenta chiffon look at that color
if you were looking for some hot color in your garden at the end of the season
then you have got to get this magenta chiffon it's the same size sizes the
other ones 8-12 feet tall four to six feet wide you want to space them six to
seven feet apart so it's not going to take very many to make a big impact and
of course you can plant just one as a specimen of course they do like the hot
Sun and they are in zones five to nine with us being a zone seven it's perfect
I love that so where is known seven we can go cold
to zone five and they can go hot in his own nine that is perfect for us you know
you're just right there in the middle and it's fantastic now I'm trying to see
where all the fellers oh look at these sunshine ligustrums by Southern
Living you know that we love these plants they are hardy they're gorgeous
they keep their color year-round easy beautiful foundational plantings imagine
sunshine ligustrums right next to the sprinter box was from proven winners
again this was on the truck today sprinter boxwoods
are wonderful from proven winners they just had this gorgeous lush green
foliage we have big plans for these at our new patio that we're gonna build
this summer of course we got more hydrangeas came in I mean there was so
much gosh Jerry what am I missing I think that might be it for right now
we got more let's dance blue jangles is the watch out for the shrub it is the
hydrangea from proven winners it's a great mop head that will be pH dependent
oh look at this I do want to show you this so I planted my water trough last
weekend and this is kind of if you're familiar with Creekside the water trough
appeared last summer and I filled it with coleus and it was exquisite so this
year I have been planning this since the fall and I am so excited so we
have the wicked witch coleus the diamond snow euphorbia and then the supertunia
Sharon look at that can you see that bloom it is a double petunia so pretty
this has only been planted for one week and it's already starting to fill in and
get nice and happy I did pop in some dark sweet potato vines to give us some
nice dark contrast and some foliage but those sharon's are taking off
everything's taking off so they're very happy so it is still got plenty of time
to get all this stuff planted we're going to do a video on that later I'm
let it fill in some of them and show you but speaking of videos last week we did
the video on how to use hanging baskets look at this bank full of the
Bubblegum's so those were all hanging baskets that I took out of the
containers planted them in directly into the landscape make sure to put lots of
slow-release fertilizer in that hole because the Bubblegum's do love to be
fed and I have not watered that one time it did rain the ground was wet but I
have not watered it so that's why if you're a smart gardener you don't have
to kill yourself out here because there's no way that I can maintain water
and all this stuff knowing when to plant how to plant it looking at the weather
it's great and I honestly unless it suddenly gets crazy hot I may never have
to water that whole bed and that's the truth you know I'm gonna tell you the
truth but that is the gosh-darn darndest truth right there fantastic these smart
people work smarter not harder right so what we say alright so we still have
tons of hanging baskets I just did a post on Facebook about the dianthus here
it is paint the town dianthus it's in the magenta and the fuchsia the ones on
that social media post we're about two years old I planted them just like this
and you can tell from picture they're gorgeous loving life
fantastic so come on out here we've got all sorts
of great things going on out here I do want to show you though these are new
this year and I am kicking myself about right now because we don't have more of
these this is the mini indigo supertunia from proven winners look at this look at
the color is it not positively amazing so your new blooms are that really dark
deep color and then your lighter blooms are the older blooms so you have new
blooms old blooms with a little bit of a difference in color these will do great
in the landscape containers you name it these supertunias can do it but these
Indigo's are stunning I just keep imagining them at the base a proven
winner suncredible sunflower because it's that bright yellow with that purple
blue underneath I just so pretty cannot wait coming on down here we've
got more lemon coral was on that truck so we've got lemon coral so if you were
looking for that lemon coral sedum we've got it we've got we're putting slowly
putting up some of our new signage I'm Meghan from proven winners came to visit
us gosh back in January February she flew down from Maine came to help create
all these great ideas for custom signage with proven winners and Creekside
together so that's happening we we hung those up real quick you need to cut the
zip ties ignore that so stay tuned for that that's going to be a lot of fun
we're getting there um let's see what come on out here
the herbs are still here we've got plenty of those our tomato plants and
our vegetable plants I saw them today and they are absolutely
taking off I mean like in a week they have just shot up I didn't want to show
you this right quick look at this fun pairing
so this was a recipe from proven winners that I had hanging up so it has the blue
suede shoes rocking salvia in there which is a great pollinator attractor I
have two of those in here then the brand-new supertunia vista snowdrift
which is again this the brand-new one this year is the pure white and then the
dichondra silver falls which is just a fun accent and then I felt like it was
still needed a little bit something extra so then I put in our beloved blue
my mind evolvulus so it has been taken off this
wheelbarrow is a great way to recycle something that would have ended up in
the trash and now it's a beautiful planter I have a couple more things that
I'm super excited to show you and then we're gonna wrap it up as I trip over a
stump alright lavender so let me grab these and show you some of these
gorgeous beats because the Sun is not working for us right there this is
proven winners let's dance not dance oh it's been a long day sweet
romance sweet romance lavender and I'm telling you what it smells amazing so
lavender for us of course is a perennial it loves hot dry spaces if you have
sandy soil which for us at North Carolina can be challenging sometimes
it's our red clay but pick a dry spot it likes it dry if it's wet it will not do
real well sweet romance it's not going to be a really big lavender so I'm gonna
be about 12 to 18 inches tall needs the full Sun and it will bloom from Spring
until fall and it y'all you just barely touch this and it just smells amazing
beautiful blooms on it there's classic lavender blooms you can cut them you can
dry them you can use them in little mini flower arrangements all sorts of things
but if you're looking to add some nice color and texture to your garden then
this lavender is a great great option for you
let's see Jerry I think that's about it it's gonna be short and sweet today um a
couple of things of course we are open Thursdays and Fridays 9:00 to 5:00
Saturday 9:00 to 3:30 you know it has been crazy around here the past couple
of weekends we have been blessed by just tons of customers that we are so
