Here in NYS zone 5, what's left?
Fairy roses, gaillardia (it has blooms aplenty yet), and if it hadn't been
for the frosts, the dahlias were just really getting started to bloom their
hearts out...
But I just put in about twenty different perennials, at least 3 of each, so
this spring/summer should be outstanding, as I got them from White Flower
Farms, which has a very good reputation here.
