Comments (41)Clematis (more than 50) Lilies - day, oriental, orien-pet, species, asiatic (but who's counting!) Hydrangeas Penstemons Irises of all kinds (must be thousands) Bulbs of every kind including snowdrops, crocus, daffodils, tulips, muscari, scilla, chionodoxa, allium, peonies (tree and herbaceous) Geraniums (evergreen) Herbs including catnip, catmint, borage, feverfew, bee balm, sweet woodruff Many other plants like viburnums, epimediums, dianthus, scabiosas, hostas, violas, violets, grasses, phlox and dahlias, but not predominant in the garden. My garden, in short, is that anathema known as a 'collector's garden' to anyone trained as a landscape architect. My favorite place in the world to spend time.

Comments (2)Well according to my plant zone you could be in zones 6, 5 or 4. The cheapest way for you is to scrounge some plants from your neighbors and ask them if you could have a piece of this or that. Go to my website and you will learn how to propagate the pieces. Daylilies, German Bearded Iris, Columbine, Spring bulbs, should do well, but not with the soccer ball. Woody plants would be potentilla, juniper, euonymous, dwarf pines, but you cannot propagate those, they must be purchased. Better yet I went to the USDA's website and if you can pull up the common name, I couldn't, for Idaho, start at the coldest zone, that should be of help. Some you may recognize by botanical name. http://plants.usda.gov/java/stateSearch?searchTxt=&searchType=Sciname&stateSelect=16&searchOrder=2&imageField.x=75&imageField.y=7 Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials...See MoreRelated Professionals
