Chartreuse with Jim Putnam 👍

I actually have a weird question. Can you do a video on all the other plants around the chartreuse ones? It really made some of the other more green foliage ones stand out! Great video

Jim started talking about variegated plants and I thought the video was going to be an hour long. 😜I would’ve listened. My Colocasia ‘Maui Gold’ is looking fantastic, Angelina’s Teacups Sedum looks great year round, to name a few. I love chartreuse & variegated plants.

I should have covered more of them!

Should have a t-shirt saying: “So, there ya go…”

Hello, everyone, gardeners, friends 🧡, have fun with gardening. And a great day. 🙏.

Gold is Great!!!

Don't the pops of gold and bright yellow in the gardens make us smile? A minimum of 327 different species in your garden? "No More Plants" - said Stephany never. I still watch the No More Plants video because it makes me laugh. Thanks Jim and Stephany :)

In addition to many of the plants you mentioned, my double play candy corn spirea and Romeo & Juliet clayeras look great right now.

Love the color depths the contrast provide. Love how you've mix them, it's stunning.

In the past week I bought a variegated heliopsis and a variegated Jacob's ladder, and I've been considering replacing the monkey grass around our front walkway with a variegated type. I think this channel is rubbing off on my buying choices.

Picea orientalis Firefly - Cephalotaxus harringtonia Golden Dragon - Katsura Claim Jumper - Aralia Sun King - all looking particularly good (among others LOL)

My Thuja occidentalis Yellow Ribbon is looking gorgeous right now, Sum and Substance and Gold Standard Hostas, Tiger Eye Sumac, Hakonechloa Aureola are all looking nice. Niagara region, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Hi Jim! Yellow or chartreuse has been my favorite color in the garden! Right now my Summer Gold Japanese Maple is a stunner! ❤

My little honey oakleaf doing great so far this year, and the color is great!

Golden oregano (golden marjoram) is one I frequently mention. It's been a beautiful groundcover that even our deer, who love to devour many "deer resistant" plants, have yet to touch. It's also a nice herb to have on hand.

Our Sun King aralias are all looking great in shade or sun. We need something like them to add interest to our north facing dark hole defined by our stand of holly trees and our neighbor’s spruce. The location is of course dry, hard to water, and a deer playground. 🤔

I have a really nice acer aureum which gives a nice pop of gold.

Jim im the opposite of you, i gravitate to all the dark leaf things. You are inspiring me to explore the gold more. I couldnt be happier with my Sun King Aralia and Color Guard Yucca.

I love your videos showing off all the different plants. I have learned so many different species that I can grow in my 5B/6A zone here in Indiana. Right now, my chartreuse plants that are showing off are a couple of Hosta and my Angel Wing Begonias, which is just fabulous. Beautiful, lime green foliage with the flowers that just are dainty and hang off. They're just beautiful.❤❤

Props to my Everillo carex! Maintains color in deep shade (grows more slowly) and quickly makes beautiful gold “waterfalls” down the hillside in part shade. 🌸🐝

That sounds so beautiful!

Currently my almost 10 ft tall golden larch is looking beautiful. I really love it in the late summer and early fall when it turns a warm pumpkin color.

Hi! I have a hosta called "Forbidden Fruit" which is knock your socks off gold! It's quite pretty. I'm in zone 7B.

My chartreuse plants: St Elmo’s Fire Hosta, perennial Creeping Jenny, an old Mellow Yellow Spirea, and another hosta, Stained Glass

Good stuff. Sea of Gold Juniper, Duchess Canadian hemlock, Skylands spruce, Feelin Sunny Himalayan Cedar and Summer Gold Japanese Maple are bringing the yellow in my zone 8a Southeast garden.

I also have a new variety of barberry, it's called mini saffron, and the chartreuse color is so beautiful and it's a dwarf.

I planted two Brigadoon Hypericum, one is much happier than the other. Yes, the bees adore the flowers. Small flowered native Hypericum are blooming now too. Sun King Aralia in it's 3rd year behind a Cinnamon fern with Hosta of many varieties, several with Chartreuse coloring. One of my favorite Hosta is the older Todakuama (sp?). It's a smaller Hosta that doesn't fade with bigger Hosta behind. Dark leaf ground cover sets them all off nicely. I took cuttings from a gold leaf Coleus last year and have 7 scattered around my shade beds. Miss Muffett Caladiums also have a gold/lime green pop. I wouldn't call it chartreuse but my Caramel Heuchera is always stunning through all the seasons.

For beautiful chartreuse color may I recommend Sun King Japanese Spikenard. It grows beautifully in my zone 6. It likes morning sun and then shade the rest of the day, so it does very well on the north side of structures.

I have one also, it's third year in the ground. Very happy with it, perfect size and nice color

I have a hedge of nandinas in front of my home that have chartreuse pops of color, here and there.

Forever goldy is showing off right now as well as my banana peal ilicium and kaleidoscope abelia!

I have some Double- play candycorn spirea that gets some bleaching. I love the chartreuse colors throughout the year before changing to a red.

All the gold plants I have planted in my home garden are ones I saw on this channel! Sunshine ligustrum, night light chamaecyparis, etc. I love them and want more. Has Jim done a vid on red/purple plants? I’ve gotten some purple lorapetalum and heuchera in but def need more of that color family to balance things out

Jim and Steph…I’m going to need y’all to move to the Houston or even the gulf coast of Texas area asap and teach us what does well here. Even though you’re just a 1 zone difference it’s a big difference! We are zone 9. We typically only freeze once maybe twice a year if that. After many years of following you and Jenny at Creekside, I have come to a conclusion. I believe that because of that fact, plants just perform much differently here. I’ve learned that unless you say this is extremely heat AND drought tolerant then I don’t even try it. But more importantly I’ve I lean towards more of zone 10 plants which is one zone higher than me then my success rate is much better. There is a LARGE portion of zone 9 perennials and shrubs that are not zone 9 Houston Texas hardy. Maybe zone 9 California with dry heat and minimal to no freeze, but not Houston Humidity and spring through summer nighttime temps Hardy. I appreciate all of y’all’s knowledge and you’ve helped me more than you could know!

August Moon hosta and orange marmalade hosta are my most gold chartreuse and they hold it all summer , they almost “glow” they are so bright

Yes gold!!!! I need some more for my shade garden! I love my gold smoke bush and a blue berry bush I have is gold too … of course sunshine ligustrums lemon lime Nandinas and my guacamole hostas I need some boxwood type ones I think I have a gold mop cypress too lol 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Jim, Love contrasting chartreuse w/ dark purple. Right now my BananAppeal Illicium w/ my Jazzberry Heuchera are looking great together. So is my variagated Jazz Hands Loropetalum & my Spearmint Heuchera. 😊

The Briggadoon ground cover is on my wish list. I made the mistake of planting a Royal Purple Smoke tree in the back corner, now 15’ tall, and it disappears into the brown fence and neighbors grey shed. There is a smaller Cherry Laurel behind it and a Bannappeal Ilicium in front which I’m hoping will highlight the purple when they grow a bit. Verdict is not in yet 🙃

My sum and substance hostas are loving the season and a little morning sun in our Ohio zone 6b.

I have a few sunshine ligustrums, two forbidden fruit hostas and a few angelina stonecrop sedum ground covers. I love to have gold mixed in my gardens, it's beautiful

Beautiful❤

I’ve always enjoyed the lime and lighter variegated varieties. Friends who absolutely don’t tell me they look like they’re lacking water and nutrients. 🙄 There’s always one in the bunch.

I have Sunny King in a pot. Love it. 6a in se Michigan. I have most everything in pots except peonies and lilacs. Clay is too tough for me to work with.

Great news everyone! The North Carolina deer (at least the ones in my area of Chatham County) have started to eat Chinese Privit to the ground! How do I know this? Cause I bought 3 sunshine legustrum the other day to add some nice pop of color and add "bright spots" to my garden. And the next morning all 3 of them were eaten to the ground! Took a nature walk and low and behold all the privit seedlings I saw were being munched on. And the established privit has clear signs of deer pressure! God I love whitetailed deer. Nature's vaccum cleaner

Like me you are in for a lot of watering this summer. It is brutally dry across central nc.

North Georgia is dry too.

I have several Euonymus ‘Ivory Jade’ that I love. Very slow growing, evergreen, which does not shrink down to nothing in the winter. Likes high shade, or even moderate shade. I’m growing at 5400 ft zone 7b, AZ, humidity about 10-15. Just about pest-proof. Some I’ve probably had almost 10 years. I just had to cut out some solid green little branches from the oldest one. Perhaps this was originally a sport?

My bananappeal illiciums in seattle 7b are not doing well. The leaves are always wet.....

I’ve added so much chartreuse since watching your videos. What a difference its made in my garden. And the different conifers too. Just love your garden-gorgeous.

Hello Jim and Stephanie! My Sunshine Ligustrums (3) Do bleach out on top, with some yellow midway and small amount of green down low. It never has burned and looks pretty cool. I love them! Zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast!

❤❤❤❤❤

What gold bushes small in size work in full sun?

I think I found it in the everillo carex thank you

Thank you Jim. 💐💚🙃 soft serve gold false cypress, not even going to try spelling the Latin name 😂💐💚🙃

Bletilla striata 'Ogon‘ looks nice now (I should transplant it to an area with other bletillas). Also Eleutherococcus sieboldianus ‘Variegatus’ .

Where the golden Oakland holly? Love that tree

by the way there is a variegated plant society.

I have a Lime Sizzler Firebush with bright yellow/chartreuse leaves showing off right now here in zone 9a Gulf Coast Florida. It's a beautiful plant but very difficult to find. I'm right on the edge of where it is hardy though. Plants by Mail has it in their online catalog but has not had it available for a very long time now. Since I'm very near where the nursery is in Loxley, AL, I'm wondering if the past cold snaps we've had in the winter are the reason behind this.

I’m in 9b central FL and fire bush are used/sold everywhere but I also rarely see Lime Sizzlers for sale

Hi Jim, Near your HugandornHolly (sp), you have a roll of black vinyl/plastic netting that looks pretty heavy duty. Can/will you tell me what kind/brand it is, or what I’d ask for when purchasing?

Do you have any seeds for sale during open garden? Thank you

My raised beds need more soil. What is suggested to add about 8”?

Question: We planted a gold-colored evergreen near our property line and our neighbor has been complaining to other neighbors how ugly it is. Should we keep it where it is, move it, or plant more?

Good morning! You have a beautiful purple shrub tree behind your Briggadoon ground cover. Can you remind me what this shrub/tree is? I have lots of sunshine ligustrum in my garden and I think this shrub would be a perfect addition. Of course, depending on whether or not it will grow in Central FL zone 9b. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden and knowledge!

Question, My Golden mop cypress, Samraj arborvitae and dwarf Alberta dried in a matter of one week. Could I be a fertilizer I used on them? However, I did used the same fertilizer for other plants in the garden. The trees were not in the same location. Thank you.

Based on watching your videos, I planting a sunshine ligustrum on each of the front corners of my house that faces south. Unfortunately they are already bleaching out in zone 9a. Is it too hot to move them now, or is it better to move them before the heat sets in even further?

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

My sunshine legustrum is not yellow, it’s regular green. It’s in the sun, maybe not 8 hours but close. Does it need more sun? It looks healthy, but just green.
