has more to offer for our how to segment this week we're going to show how to make I'm not Donna Wright's gonna show how to make a sedum wreath Donna right from sedum chicks good morning to you good morning this is the finished product this is a finished product Wow and you'd think that it's been growing there for a long time but I actually planted it yesterday because I knew you were coming so I can show you how to plant what it looks nice I mean doesn't look like it was just done yeah beautiful so it all depends on how full you want it to start with or you can do less plants in there and it'll grow into a full one like this okay now when you put these things in is to get people because this is how everybody wants it to look mm-hmm this would stay this way all summer all summer just keep clipping when it gets too big and you put it in the Sun or shade put it in the Sun okay half a day shades fine and also when you see the wreath I've made it kind of cut it into threes so we've had the color combination going threes to make it interesting and appealing to your eye so start with your color groups and then keep working and if you've got these in threes that's right uh-huh but when you begin when you have you have a special ring Peschel wreath ring yes it's called a living wreath frame and it comes in two pieces and you snap the top off and what we're gonna do is we I lined the bottom with very wet green moss okay and what what I you put that in there and then it is very wet anyway it's very wet because that way it's going to make a nice soft but thick base for the soil to stay in so the next step would be than to fill it up with potting soil and is this a so you usually right we use organic for all our sedum okay and we made the soil moist and put that in there and pack it tight lots of people say oh my wreath fell apart is because they didn't pack it tight enough to start with okay so then what we do is we snap on the wreath frame mm-hmm three hooks there and this come when you buy the frame you get both pieces like that so this is what you have so here's the back which is the rounded part that's gonna go up against your wall and they do have different kind of holders that will keep it away from the wall or your house okay and then the flat part what we're gonna do is plant that up because that's the part that's gonna fill in with the flowers alright so a good way for us to go ahead and plant flowers is to start with our combinations of three and kind of mark where we want it to go and that's how I start my combinations with they may be to confuse them to go first and you're gonna pull off some of the soil put it off almost all of that because that way it'll be easier to plant and it won't hurt these guys at all so say we're gonna start right here with that I'm gonna make a nice whole soil is nice and moist so it'll be able to move a little bit we're gonna take might you really butcher that there yeah yes my tweezers and we're gonna start putting it in there like that and that will form our first of our threesomes that are gonna go in so you and you've got the threesomes marked out right once we go along okay so okay also then say if you got some against lots of people have this in the yard or you can buy a carton of it same way make a group and you really take it apart take it apart make a hole and if you don't have a tweezers like mine which I'm used to using and you have just a flathead screwdriver mm-hmm you lay the roots across there like that and then you help them in with the end of your screwdriver same way with the hands and the chicks they work great in there like these guys and just put them in and you just keep building around and around till you have it done okay then what we do at the very end to make sure that they're gonna stay secure is we're gonna take a little moss and we're gonna poke it in between there oh just a hold of this to hold it in okay until they get stabilized in there okay it would be five days or so on the ground for them to get rooted in and then you can go ahead and hang it up or leave your plant or leave it flat Donna great idea thank you thank you
