Re: Favorite Spring Perennials
Donna,
This may be more of a job than you want to tackle, but I'd like to know
some time frame for the plants you have, such as
Early spring, blah-blah
Mid spring, " "
and so on
I too try to have something blooming each part of the year except the dead
of winter, between the mums and asters and the hellebores.
Would you be willing to do this for the rest of us?
