@BrazenlyLiberal Those are lovely! I love the look of peony's but they only last until the next rain - which will likely be Sunday LOL
Hydrangeas! They are my favorite, but I've had no success with them. Husband says he's not digging any more holes for hydrangea graves.
@BrazenlyLiberal @MysElf Annabelle is pretty easy. Most of them like morning sun and afternoon shade but can take more sun up north - plus there are new varieties that handle more sun. They also need decent draining soil although I have some growing in mostly clay. There are 7 types and they all accept different conditions. Let me know if hubby changes his mind and I can help you ID a type that grows in your area/soil type.
@BrazenlyLiberal I dug out 3 of my 5 and gifted them. LOL I found a straggler coming up under it's replacement hydrangea and it went in the yard waste. I can't talk myself into getting rid of the last 2 but.. one day ... hehe @MysElf
