I stumbled across wild berry heuchera at my local Meier grocery store. I couldn’t pass it up. That purple!! I’ve been looking for something to plant in with my endless summer hydrangeas. I needed a contrast color against all that green. Wow! That purple is soooo purple! I’m going back for more and fill that area in. Thanks proven winners! Home run for sure!
How can I plant under the tree when there are roots which is almost impossible to dig or plant anything?
Thank you!
Want to try this in my Central Va area. Another great video
I’m new to gardening and watching your videos has inspired me to take it to the next level and work on my own! I have trees just like this and wanted to do the same set up but it’s August. Is it too late in the season to plant or do I have to wait until next May?
Can anyone tell me if the berries on this specific elderberry is eaten by birds. I’m in a condo and they don’t allow berry plants that birds are going to eat and Poo colors everywhere. Lol
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! 🥰
I totally love that garden! I think it’s one of my favorites!! The colors are stunning! I did purchase a couple of those plants. And plan much more. It’s all your fault Laura !! I love you for it!! I wish I could have done more when I was younger, I’m retired and don’t have the energy do to health reasons but I do what I can . I thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas, I love your videos, you bring sunshine to my day. Thank you also Aaron. Love you guys.
Beautiful! Where are you located?
This is such a gorgeous combination! I have a Japanese maple (probably a dwarf because it is 3 by 2 feet) by its lonesome, so going to use this entire combo. Would you have an update on how this is doing given it has been an year? Love your videos so much!
Beautiful I have flower beds under my trees but most plants I put in there struggle with the trees roots do these not?
you’re not concerned about these plants sucking up the nutrients (and moisture) from the trees?
My favourite video
I love the color combinations and textures. Beautiful.
Did you get to replant the coleus in another place or had they already ran their course and died? I am in zone 9a and I have some in containers hanging on a fence and some do really well in some of the pots and others not so much. All the same pots and water all at the same time so all I can figure is the amount of sun some might get more or less than others because it is a shady area. But I do have some trees in the front yard that I can plant around and this is another awesome video.
Really pretty! 🌹🌺🌼🌺🌹
This video is EXACTLY what I needed to see right now. I have a very similar bed that I plan to copy your ideas on. This is my 2nd year in this house and I want to add to the neglected beds. Perfect video! Much thanks!
I love your videos, the bed is just beautiful.
Laura from Garden Answer is so inspiring. Love all the plants presented.
How do you plant so close to a tree? I hit Roots when I try to put accessory plants such as hostages and Japanese firms near trees.
Beautiful combination of shade plants! Thanks for the inspiration.
Another great video. Thank you Laura!
I love these Proven Winners videos. I just bought the Bloodgood Japanese Maple and will probably plant it like you did.
😋😍🤩🤩
It’s beautiful I love thank you for sharing with us.
Laura’s teaching obviously has been beneficial as I did watch this video a year ago and I guess subconsciously I knew to buy the lemony lace elderberry this autumn, and I planted it under my blue spruce tree which has lost most of its lower and mid branches . I’m hoping it does not get too much sun as it gets northwest sun.
Does the Elderberry sucker or spend?
nice
Dont plant in rows, looks to contrived. Large groups are the better option.
In Delaware the Japanese maple trees get huge, mine was growing 6 inches to a foot a year
This is such a great video. I have a moss covered dogwood and will plant sienna, lime, and purple plants underneath. I only wish there were more heuchera colors in my area besides carnival watermelon. Yours are gorgeous!
Is heuchara to.errant of high heat,acid soil?
How do you deal with the pine needles? We have several beautiful pine trees that I would love to underplant but the needles really pile up. I’d love to hear how you handle it. Thanks!
Isn’t this lady done planting her yard yet after about 500 videos?
Hi, I planning to plan daisy and creepy thyme under a pine tree. Can you please a vedio on that to what types of creepy thyme and daisy will work. Thank you
Boy are you brave planting all that under pine trees! I imagine the drip irrigation will compensate for the dryness. I would be concerned about root competition. It will be fun to see how this bed does…
We have two large oak tree with a huge canopy of shade and nothing grows under. Even the grass started to dye off. What foliage or ground cover would you suggest to use under the tree and around. We are in Houston, TX
I FINALLY got my hands on autumn frost hosta. I was looking for this for two years. It’s even prettier in person.
The hostas look great. Mine get eaten by slugs and snails.
Hostas are too much work with snails and alugs
I love your gardening tips. I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I live in Canada. I have an area that is in the shade that has a lot of tree roots from trees in the vicinity. I have tried to grow shade plants there but with no luck. I am guessing it is due to the roots from the trees. How do I prepare the area for planting and getting through the roots. I get frustrated and feel like closing the garden. Thank you
Are the trees ok with their root flares being covered up?
