Join the Hort Society so that you have access to the online
information. Great resource. As far as growing "up north" i found that
it was much easier growing in a zone 0b (yes zero) than here in
calgary. The problem is the chinooks and lack of snow cover. My garden
barely freezes and has no snow cover at all during the winter which
makes it hard on the plants.
I have Joe Pye, Meadow Rue, False Sunflower, Coneflower, bellflowers,
Centura, peonys, Speedwell, Bee Balm etc

good luck

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!
