Hi Get the Calgary Horticultural Society's garden book. And be advised that
there are few long lasting flowering plants out there in Zone 3A.

Subject pretty much says it all...

We're located in Calgary, Alberta and are trying to plan our
landscaping. I believe that we are Zone 3.

We prefer tall perennials with bright flowers that have a long bloom
time, with a strong scent.

Can someone suggest a website or book that lists what kind of plants
we can grow successfully in Calgaries very dry, Zone 3 conditions? The
biggest problem is the inconsistancy of the weather... Wearing shorts
at Christmas, yet it did snow at least once every month last year.

Thanks!
