467K views · 42K reactions | Not only can you cut the flower heads off hydrangeas now to provide you with a floral display all winter, but if you place the stems in water you will also get free hydrangea plants. This is because the stems sprout roots easily which you can insert into compost and each one will become a new hydrangea plant. #plantpropagation #growhydrangeas | Simon Akeroyd Garden Writer | Green Day · Wake Me up When September Ends
7K views · 12K reactions | This is the biggest mistake I made when we first bought our home … I trimmed our lilac at the wrong time. And then the next season it barely bloomed! The best time to trim your lilac is right after it is done blooming. The rest of the summer the lilac works on putting on new growth. It is off of the new growth that the blossoms will come next spring. Another thing that lilacs need, is a chunk of a really cold weather, if it doesn’t get cold enough for long enough, they won’t bloom. Now that all of our lilac blossoms are done, it’s time to Prune! Here’s my system: - cut off all of the spent blooms, just behind the bloom head - then, if needed, bring the height of the lilac bush down, removing up to 1/3 of the plant’s height - lastly, cut out the largest three stalks from the middle. Removing these biggest oldest ones allows the plant to focus on fresh new growth. If your plant is young, you don’t need to trim the height or cut out anything from the middle. Only worry about cutting out large stalks and bringing the height down if yours is getting too big for the space where it’s growing. Ours has shown some signs of a type of leaf curl disease, so we are spraying the plant with a natural copper spray to try and help protect the rest of the plant from the fungus or disease spreading. I am not an expert on the different diseases, but we do know that the copper spray is an amazing fungicide. Comment below, and I’ll send you the link to the one we use. What other questions do you have in terms of pruning your lilac? I will be out pruning ours today! Beyond this pruning, our lilacs take very little time or effort. They receive some fertilizer when we feed the rest of the garden, but they really are such an easy and gorgeous garden bush! #homemaker #flowergarden #pocketofmyhome #bloomingflowers #bloomingtrees #wearethehomemakers #flowers #happyhomemaker #homemaking #pnwgardening #pnwgarden #pnwgardener #gardentipsandtricks #cottagegarden #happygardeninglife #lilaclove #cottagegardenflowers #lilacflowers #flowergardens #cornerofmyhome #flowergardening #lilac #kitchengardening #lilacseason #gardener #gardenflowers #cuttinggarden #lilacs | Kelly Welk | kellywelk · Original audio

We are deep in the throes of a backyard overhaul, and I just received my @provenwinners perennials shipment from @waltersgardens with some gorgeous plants to add to my backyard. I know they are going to add so much cool character, color and texture to my landscape vision.

Dandelions are an incredible plant that are packed full of nutrition and it has some amazing healing properties. We should treat the dandelion with respect and protect it the way people had been for thousands of years. #dandelions #amazingplants #medicinalplants #healthyfood #foraging #eathealthy #notaweed | Portnoo Market Garden | portnoomarketgarden · Original audio
267K views · 31K reactions | There is a sweet spot in early to mid Spring when you can divide your hostas for the optimal aesthetic. You can technically divide them at anytime, they are super hardy, but if you divide them after the leaf has unfurled, they definitely won’t look as nice, and will take a season to recover. You want to divide them just as the eye buds emerge, but before the leaves start to unfurl. Dig out the clump and it’s entirety leaving at least 6 inches on the outside. Using a garden knife or sharp spade cut into desired sections, being as careful as possible to not cut too much of the roots or damage an eye. You will inevitably lose a few, but don’t sweat it. They spread like crazy and you won’t even notice. I like around 12 to 16 eyes per clump. Soak the clumps in water while you dig your new holes. Place your hosta clump in the hole and backfill like you would normally plant. You can backfill with fertilizer and compost, but my spring list is so long that I’m just trying to get things done as quickly as possible. I’ve found hostas to be incredibly hardy and transplant very well. Make sure to water everything in really well. Divide and transplant every few years for healthy, happy hostas #hosta #hostagarden #hostas #dividinghostas #springgardening | Skye Hamilton • Home & Garden • Hydrangea Queen | Hugh Jackman · From Now On

47K views · 9.1K reactions | I’m going to share a couple of plants this week that I call work horses because they bloom for very long periods of time, and they are exceptionally low maintenance. The first plant has been blooming since June and will stay in flower until October! It’s Geranium Rozanne. This was bred from a wild geranium that is native to North America and native to Illinois. It is hardy in zone five through eight according to multiple sources. I live in zone 5B and it is exceptionally happy here. It prefers soil with lots of organic matter, and it has medium water requirements. However, once established, mine is in full, hot, afternoon sun, and it was not watered once during the drought. Just look at how happy it is. The wild geranium that this plant was bred from, can be found on forest floors. Therefore, this plant can grow in partial shade conditions with at least four hours of sun. I’ve planted mine in full sun and it is thriving. This plant was bred not to set seeds. Since energy is not going in to see production, energy can go into blooms and that is why this plant continually blooms from June to October here in zone five. #Zone5 #Zone5Gardening #Zone5B #Zone5BGardening #Gardening #GardeningLife #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfNorthAmerica #NativePlantsOfIllinois #GardeningForBeginners #GardeningHacks #Perennials #Flowers #FlowersOfInstagram #Geraniums #geraniumrozanne #arlingtonheightsil #arlingtonheightsillinois | Amy Powers
