I will tell 33 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: in three hours. And then we went together yep. And 34 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: from there we went to Ball Horticulture, which is in 35 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: West Chicago. 36 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 3: Yes, and I had never been there. 37 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: Incredible, so amazing.

Ball Horticulture is 40 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: the largest horticultural company in the world. Mostly well they 41 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: sell everything annuals, perennials, not so much trees and shrubs 42 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: and things, but multiple, multiple brands under a big umbrella. 43 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: A lot of brands are you know. I stopped trying 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: to figure it out and learning all of it. It's 45 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: just like it's Ball. 46 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course ball seed, but ball. 47 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: Seed, Darwin Perennials and all of that. And the cool 48 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: thing is they have this campus and I meant to ask, 49 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure, but it's pretty much open during 50 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: business hours in the summer, and I think that's for 51 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: green industry, it's also for gardeners and they they have 52 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: all probably all of their material out there on display 53 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: and these beautiful gardens, and they have their competitors stuff 54 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: on display in these beautiful gardens and it's just so 55 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: inspirational and education will walk through there, you know, take photos, 56 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: so you have the names somewhere. 57 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: And it's beautiful. I mean, it's like walking around a 58 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 3: plant library. 59 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: You know. 60 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: You get to see all of the hukras that they 61 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: they sell side by side. But it's not just in 62 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: a garden bed. Some of the sun beds are pretty 63 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: much rose, but they're still artfully laid out. But you 64 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: also get to see them in design settings and it's 65 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: really well designed, really well laid out, and just the 66 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: use of color, the use of texture, and the use 67 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 3: of space. I was so impressed with For a company 68 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: that really focuses on the genetics on the plant materials themselves, 69 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 3: the gardens were. 70 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: Gorgeous, stunning, absolutely stunning, And I know they bring in 71 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: top designers to do certain gardens right outside the headquarters 72 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: there and I can't remember the name of the designer, 73 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: but it's well known. Did that particular display which is 74 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: really really cool. We took a tour. We only had 75 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: time for one, but we took the laboratory tour. I 76 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: guess it would be. I was so blown away by 77 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: their investment and tissue culture and plant pathology, yeah, and 78 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: breeding and crisper and I mean. 79 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, they are absolutely at the top of the game. 80 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: They're they're really driving the research on the horticultural varieties. 81 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: They made the point that you know a lot of 82 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: the research and the pathology and the breeding for agricultural products. 83 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 3: You know, they have connections with land grant organizations, there's 84 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: you know, public and higher education involved in that, but 85 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: there's really not any of that for horticulture. So if 86 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 3: the industry is not doing it for itself, we can't 87 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: move forward in that way. 88 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: And this all boils down to better plants for gardeners 89 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: in the garden center. You know, these plants are being 90 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: checked out and bread for disease resistance, for garden compatibility 91 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: for colors. Yes, pollinators now a big part of the equation. 92 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: So a lot of improvement is coming much faster. 93 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: That must do it much faster to keep up. 94 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: It's really hard to come up. And maybe that's a 95 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: new problem. You know. They talked to somebody this week 96 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: talked about the risk of overwhelming customers and garden centers 97 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: with too many choices. And I think it comes down 98 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: to the garden centers making most of the choices, so 99 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: to have this. 100 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: Product line or that one, and so much of that 101 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 2: stuff is regional too, So what works really well in 102 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: East Lanching, Michigan, may not work real well in Cincinnati. 103 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: And I think that's why we need so much diversity. 104 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: But then we need to back that up with you know, 105 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: people like you, Sarah, who work in the field every 106 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: day and you're trying this stuff and you've got records 107 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: of how well it's performing. I think that's the strength 108 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: of that collaboration between ball and business and public gardens. 109 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: You know, we're trialing this stuff and we're making it 110 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: available for people to see. So that's our part of 111 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: the equation. The landscapers that are putting it out and 112 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: have their necks on the line because they have to 113 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: put things out there. 114 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 3: That we don't want plants to fall apart. You know, 115 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 3: customers don't want plants to fall apart. And you know, 116 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: it was really struck when they were talking about the 117 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: plant pathology. Lad they were talking about the development of 118 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: the beacon impatients and you know, the disease resistance that 119 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: they were breeding into that. And you know, we I 120 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: as a designer, have inferior product if I am selling 121 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: plants that are going to fall apart. 122 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: And let me backtrack for the listeners, that garden impatients 123 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: were a staple, an absolute staple. It was the way 124 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: to get colorful flowers and shady gardens. And then what 125 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: was it a powdery mildew or it came blew over 126 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: from Africa bleu over from Africa, probably on a hurricane 127 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: and started just wiping them out and continue Now would 128 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: all as tract a resistant variety. 129 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, they had the science and the scientists to do it. 130 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: They were a to trial it all of that and 131 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: they did it. They what a gift to the industry 132 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: and also just to the beauty of public spaces. But 133 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: you know, I, as a designer to rely on plants 134 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: that you know, may or may not fall apart, and 135 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do about it, you know. I 136 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: my whole value as a designer is less if the 137 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: plants are not as good. So we really do need 138 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: all of each other. And that's what I loved about Ppa. 139 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: You saw people from you know, different angles, and we 140 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: were all just learning from each other, and we were 141 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: all learning from the tours, and we were watching each 142 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: other learn from the tours, and you know, like, oh, 143 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: this is what I like about this plant or this 144 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: corner nook, you know, and it just it was such 145 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: a wonderful collaborative environment. 146 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: It's from top to bottom.

And the 576 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: number of honey bees on that plant two nights ago 577 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 2: was staggering. At like seven o'clock at night. I'm like, wow, 578 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: there's a lot. And it looked like the plant was moving. 579 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: There were so many, and it just it's been blooming 580 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: for weeks. And the little towers are. 581 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: Super small, yeah, but showy added up, they look good. 582 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: It really really looks good. So I can't I think 583 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: next year I'll be able to divide that and start 584 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: sharing that in other places in my garden, just to 585 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 2: I like having lots of pollinator plants. 586 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: That's itself so a little bit too are spread. I 587 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm ready for. Yeah, me too. It's 588 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: great for the front of the border where it kind 589 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: of spreads and it just tracks all these pollinators and 590 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: it's a good plant for that plant and real quick. 591 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 2: Another plant that goes well with that is a switch grass. 592 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 2: I have a variety in my garden called Cheyenne sky. 593 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 2: I really like the genus panicum. They're native to North America. 594 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: They're just phenomenal grasses. But it's it's really upright, and 595 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 2: it's only three feet tall. 596 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: You know. 597 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: Switch grasses are can be can be huge. Yeah, Dallas 598 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 2: blues it's eight feet tall at least huge. The one 599 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: thing I have observed with switchgrasses after working at a 600 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 2: high River grass for three years and then growing a 601 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 2: lot in my garden is it's one of those plants 602 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 2: that you probably want to stick with one variety in 603 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: your garden because they will cross pollinate and you're the 604 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 2: offspring will be. 605 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: Kind of all over the place, all over the place. Yeah, 606 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: it is a cedar, you know, so, and I think 607 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: that seed less if there are a few or other 608 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: varieties around, so that helps, Yeah, because of the cross 609 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: pollination and so forth. 610 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 2: But the shiant sky that I have the foliage is 611 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,479 Speaker 2: bluish and it's starting to kind of turn that red 612 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 2: fall color with that calamintha, those two plants together. 613 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I had Panicum down to at the Perennial Plant 614 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: Association at Ball this week. There a whole new line 615 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: that came out that I didn't even know existed. Uh. 616 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: And there's like what seven or eight anymore. 617 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. I had it down too, just because the grasses 618 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 3: were so phenomenal, and we kept which one did you 619 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 3: put down? I'm curious. 620 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: I just put down the whole series. 621 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 3: Oh, the whole series. 622 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm trying to remember what the series was called. 623 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:23,439 Speaker 6: Ah. 624 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: I had it written down for a minute and then 625 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: I put that paper side. I'll have to Yeah, we'll 626 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: look it up. 627 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 3: Is that it's not Prairie Winds, is it? 628 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 2: No? 629 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it was. 630 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 4: No. 631 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 3: Okay, well I had Lightning Bolt, DreamCatcher Lightning Bolt. Uh 632 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 3: and yeah, okay, Dreamcatture is a serious then okay. Yeah, 633 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 3: and the lightning Bolt. They had containers of it at 634 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 3: the Perennial Plant Association so you could actually see the plants. 635 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 3: And then as we went around to tourist spaces, we 636 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 3: saw it in several gardens. Uh. And it's gorgeous, it's 637 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 3: highly upright, it's taller than north Wind, which is another 638 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 3: upright narrow one, very rigid, doesn't flop. It's not quite 639 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 3: as yellow, limey toned as the north Wind. It's a 640 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 3: little bit more bluish and just really dramatic narrow plant. 641 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 3: They're going to sell a ton of those. It's going 642 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 3: to be so useful for designers. 643 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I call. 644 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 3: Lightning bolt. 645 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: They had other ones too, like Tumbleweed was one which 646 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: is smaller, yes, much smaller, like less than three feet 647 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: and roundish, yeah, which is really an unusual look for switchgrasses, 648 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 1: So you might want to look that up. What again, 649 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: was it the. 650 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 3: DreamCatcher lightning Bolt? The series is DreamCatcher and the variety 651 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 3: of lightning bolts. 652 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: One plant I saw at Ball that really struck me. 653 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: It's an old one, it's been around forever, but it 654 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: looks so good and maybe they can grow it a 655 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: little bit better than we can. But the cornice alba 656 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: elk antissima, which is a silver and green variegated dogwood 657 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 1: shrub dogwood up the red Twig series or style or types, 658 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: just it had great form and that there's something about 659 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: dogwood variegation that just comes out clean and beautiful. It's 660 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: just you know that genus for in whatever. They change 661 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: the genus too, but that there just seems to be 662 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: something special about those plants for the ability to do variegation. 663 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 2: Yes, in that plant, Scott, I think it can be 664 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 2: a really good plant for us if it's got a 665 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 2: lot of organic matter in the soil. It likes some 666 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 2: moisture in the summer when it gets hot and dry. 667 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 2: And the other thing I think that plant benefits from 668 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 2: is about every three years cut out about a third 669 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 2: of the older canes. Is they tend to develop canker 670 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 2: over time. That's right, if you cut that stuff out 671 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 2: and it's always fresh. I know in England they one 672 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 2: of the popular dogwood varieties. It's kind of shrubby. Dogwood 673 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 2: is midwinter fire and if you read like English guard, 674 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 2: it's gorgeous. I've got that one in my garden if 675 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: you if you have that plant in your garden. What 676 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: the English do is they cut it back pretty much 677 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 2: to the ground about every three years just to keep 678 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,720 Speaker 2: those fresh canes with that bright color. 679 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, some plants really want that, Yeah they do. 680 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: And it keeps it a little smaller too. And it's 681 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: what's interesting here. Is is you grow most of the 682 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: red twig type dogwoods and what is alba singuine serv 683 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: and yeah, you grow those almost entirely, all of them. 684 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: All the cultivars are out there pretty much for the twig, 685 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: the stem color, yeah, the bark and what a winter 686 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: show it puts on. But just particular one you grow 687 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: for the variegation. And I don't think it really has 688 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: a great bark color. 689 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 2: I can't remember, not really, not like some of the 690 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: other ones. Yeah, yeah, it's it's definitely a foliage plant. 691 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: What's your next plant? 692 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 2: I have been growing Gonfrina this summer and it is 693 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 2: a doer. It just goes and I mean it just 694 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 2: it's still putting out new flowers. I've got one called Firecracker. 695 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 2: It's pretty tall. It's almost two and a half three 696 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 2: feet tall. It's a thirty five mile an hour plant. 697 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 2: When you plant it mass, I mean you just get 698 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 2: that huge splash of purple. 699 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: It's just pretty good for plin eaters. 700 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's full of bees as well. 701 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, like simple sun. Yeah, not a whole lot of 702 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: attention up beyond. 703 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 2: No droughty, drought tolerant. Once it's established. I did notice this. 704 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 2: I planted mine a little late, and it took it 705 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 2: a minute to get to get rooted in. So if 706 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 2: you're gonna do gonfrina, i'd plant that closer to the 707 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 2: beginning of the growing season when we can do annuals 708 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati and then let it get rooted in. Because 709 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 2: now mine's rooted in, I had to water it at all. Well, well, 710 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 2: we get rain all the time. Now, this has been 711 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 2: a great summer for rain. By the way, it really 712 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: like about once a week we seemed to give out 713 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 2: an inch of rain. It's like, oh my gosh, the garden. 714 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 3: I had over a inch inch in my rain gage 715 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 3: when I checked last night, and my sprinkler doesn't hit it, 716 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 3: so that that's right. 717 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,720 Speaker 1: What Sarah, your next plant? 718 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 3: My next plant is Echinesia fatal attraction. There are so 719 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 3: many echinacias, and I mean it almost kind of became 720 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 3: a joke because it's like every single presenter is like, 721 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 3: we're all talking about achinesias, and there's just hundreds of 722 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 3: varieties at this point, and you know, even were kind 723 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 3: of saturated in that as horticulturists. But one of the 724 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 3: tours we did was the out Off Garden on Bellisle 725 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 3: in Detroit and one of the Achinacians he uses there 726 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 3: is fatal attraction. I think it's one that he bred himself, 727 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 3: pee out off the designer of that garden, And the 728 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: stems are very dark. The center of the flower is 729 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 3: dark as well, but it has that little orange tips 730 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 3: on it to set it off, and the petals are fluted, 731 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,479 Speaker 3: they kind of stick out, they don't droop and hang 732 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 3: as much like the other echinaces, and so there's just 733 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 3: a really a resting look to this plant, especially if 734 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 3: it's back lit with something lighter where you can really 735 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 3: appreciate the dark stems. And there's some pigmentation on the 736 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 3: foliage as well, but just really stunning. 737 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 2: I love that plant. I've got Ruby Star in my 738 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 2: garden which is an older taller the goldfinches I'm having it. 739 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 2: I've got dozens of goldfinches every evening that's come and 740 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 2: pick the seeds off. 741 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 3: That. 742 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: So such a common plant, so good speciul guards. Yeah, 743 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: and you know, the original is really great the species, 744 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: but there's so many cultivars now, they've done so much 745 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: breeding with different colors, heights, more flowers, and we've studied 746 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 1: these and so did Mount Cuba Center to see are 747 00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: these cultivars better worse for pollinators than the species? Some 748 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: mixed bags are you know, really really good for pioneers, 749 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: some not so much. A couple you know, the pom 750 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: pom types, maybe not at. 751 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 6: All at all. 752 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: Right, so yeah, you are listening to uh let's goar 753 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: with Scott Burl and we do watch your calls eight 754 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three eighty two fifty five.
