Hi, I live in Southern Minnesota and with spring here I have been thinking
of planting some flowers/plants around my house. (our house faces the north) I am mostly interested in planting perennials, and would like any/all suggestions on ones that people are happy with. Thanks in advance for your help. K. Louwagie |

... Hi, I live in Southern Minnesota and with spring here I have been thinking of planting some flowers/plants around my house. (our house faces the north) I am mostly interested in planting perennials, and would like any/all suggestions on ones that people are happy with. Hi Kimberly, I'm from Minnesota too (Twin Cities) and grew up in northern Iowa so I'm very familiar with the climate. Perrennials that do very well he Purple Coneflowers (a native plant -- hard to beat for hardiness) Iris Black Eyed Susan Mums Hosta There's many more, but these are my favorites. Also, for shrubs: Spyria Alberta Spruce Juniiper (I can't remember the name of it, but it looks like a Yew with yellow flowers and is quite pretty) Once spring hits, take a drive to the U of MN Landscape Arboretum in Chaska. It's a beautiful place, and they have name/species tags on virtually everything so you can write down what you like and look for it at your favorite nursery. -Tim |
