I'm planting four new (or to me) plants from the Southern Living Plant Collection in my zone 5 garden.

My name is Erin and I love sharing inspiration and information with real-life gardeners. I live and garden in southeastern Wisconsin, zone 5b.

Congrats on pairing up with Southern Living! It will be good for them to have some Zone 5 representation on Youtube.

I loved the look with the diamond frost euphorbia but not in a white pot. If you have a darker pot that combo is great. How fun!

My brother is on Long Island and he has been very successful with figs planted in his garden! He’s zone 7a. Love your channel!

I really like that rose also love your little toad ...you might make him a toad house out of a small pot to put next to the rose. 💗

My first thought was blue lobelia, but love the mint carpet. 💚

Thanks for always introducing us to new plants and ideas...can't to see how they all look as they settle in!

[GardenDiscovery]

Lol I thought you were gonna hug that succulent for a second there! So cute, your love for plants!

[marilynbaldwin]

Liked them all my favorite was the rose and hydrangea which are my favorite!

[lorindachristine]

My first thought for your final pot was a deep blue or purple lobelia. Love the choice of the low mint thought.

Gorgeous plant selections. I love that you are experimenting with red-toned plants in your landscape. That hydrangea and container are a perfect match!😍

[ginafriend]

I get the sand and water, hope you didn't bury the 🐸 lol! I see the Southern Garden ads, happy to know some will do in zone 5(b) .. Thanks! I have plants in some containers, but my Garage is so dam Cold, so can't work! Thanks for all your Info, girl! 😉💚

Ohhhh the little frog!
The plants are beautiful too -

I am so into that silvery grey color. I use this color combo over and over again in my tiny garden. But, change is good, stretch the muscle... love them all. Red, too?!! Brave girl.

I’d go with black mondo grass next to the senecio. Maybe the mint with that too

[martihurford]

I like the Senecia the way you have it. You could add some smaller pots of colorful annuals to sit with it to make an unique grouping 🌺🌼

[chuckylamb]

I would use campanula carpatica with the blue flowers to spread over the sides. Repeat flowers for ages. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[mudchuk]

I like the mint, but I probably would have done the euphorbia. It's so magical

[briandaniels]

So cool to see you using some Southern Living plants in your zone!

[denisedelgado]

The mint does look good ~ I liked the dichondra too. That hydrangea! 🤩

Oh my, the rose would be great at the end of my driveway. A few on each side.
