This Illinois Zone 5 Garden Tour video was shot on July 8, 2021. The garden is still full of colors. Our daylilies are now in full bloom and so are the echinacea purpurea "Magnus". Most of the roses have gone to sleep but a few like "Crocus Rose", "The Alnwick", "Hansa" and "Thérèse Bugnet" are still putting out some new buds and blooms. Amazingly, the catmints still look great and so are the daisies!

We did our best to identify the plants in this video but if we have made any mistakes, we will revise in the next garden tour video.

Thank you for tuning in! Enjoy!

Background Plant Info:
Most of the flowerbeds around the home were first created in the spring of 2018 so most of the shrubs were planted early in the spring and summer of 2018. However, a few were planted in the fall of 2018. This is their third year of summer growth.

A majority of the shrubs were planted from 1 gal. (7-8" / 18-20 cm / 4 L) or 2 gal. (8.5" / 22 cm / 7.5 L) size containers. Only the Annabelle hydrangeas in front of the home were planted from a 3 gal. size container. Most of the perennials were from 4.5" quarts containers and many were from seeds or have just self-seeded.

We did add a few more plants last fall 2020 - one "Black Lace" elderberry, two "Shining sensation" weigelas, and one ninebark "Little Devil".

This home is located outside of Chicago, Illinois and is considered to be in USDA zone 5b (Illinois Zone 5 Garden).
