Any suggestions on zone 3,4 perrennials juding by what’s been growing for me? One bleeding heart did not make it. Lots of room to plant more stuff. sun, part shade and shade. I’m planning on more hostas .. what are done good big ones?

Also, thought dianthus was a biennial, and this will be its third year

Dianthus is not a biennial.

L Clark's Dianthus appears to be D. barbatus, Sweet William, which is usually grown as a biennial, although it's a short lived perennial.

Take cuttings and propagate that sedum, it really likes you!

Good show, you must be really pleased! Did you want the names of some really large Hosta? The Hosta you show is buried a bit too deep. You should be able to see the crown.

Excellent, frozebud. Good stuff. I’ll look into those suggestions.

Oh no. didnt realize my hostas were too deep. Should I dig them and replant? And yes, what are your favorite big hostas.

No need to dig, just pull away mulch and soil until you can see the crowns. I am happy you showed the pic so that it could be corrected. I will tell you one of the best and you can tell me if it is too big. Blue Angel is blue and has among the best flowers going. Mine is over 81/2 ft. across after decades. Too big? You say an ideal size and we can help. You can look up Blue Angel & others here at Hosta Library

Very cute to see your new babies coming up! My (not first-years for the most part) perennials are still buried in snow, a record year here! But you got me out looking at a few protected areas close to my house - so, along with peonies and bleeding heart, I see meconopsis (might not work in your area, they wouldn't want a hot summer) and (Rocky mountain) columbine! And I know oriental poppies would be coming up by now for me if they weren't under snow. One more I have already coming up is not for everybody but I really enjoy the herb Sweet cecily, Myrrhis odorata. It grows profusely and I chop and drop it to mulch in place before it goes to seed and then it flourishes again; it smells amazing to me and has tall, fluffy white flowers.

Editing to add, primula!

I'm zone 4 here in Anchorage, AK but we have such cool summers especially lately and that stymies many plants.

Here's my meconopsis:

Holy cow that’s an incredible hosta! I doubt one would attain that size in my frigid environment. I will deginitely look into Blue Angel

There are well over 10,000 to choose from so here is another resource to help Don Rawson's Hosta List

peren.all - I added a 'Blue Angel' Hosta 2 years ago. I'm glad you like it and the flowers. Mine is still small and won't get much bigger if the rabbits don't stop eating it. But I'll take a better look at it when it comes up. Thanks.
