What flowers or Plants can I use? Northern Michigan Climate..?

I want to add some color to my yard and I%26#039;m looking for something that will come back each year. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks, Ben

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersIf you want something to come back every year you should go with a perennial type plant.


go to www.michiganbulb.com and find your zone and then you can search for plants/trees/flowers by your zone. it%26#039;s a great web site and is very informative for the beginners.
Reply:Creeping Flox bloom in the spring and are nice for bordering beds, azaleas bloom in the spring , burning bush turn red in the fall and can get quite large, rhododendron bloom in the spring, Day lilies bloom most of the summer and are great for beds. There are a lot of varieties of Hosta that bloom in the summer and stay green all year. Mums bloom in the fall and add nice color. Daisies bloom all summer. all of the above mentioned are perennials. Hope this helps.
