Five Fabulous Perennials To Add To Your Garden This Year
Mother Nature finally decided she was tired of wearing her winter boots, so she donned her cute strappy sandals and flipped the switch on spring. I can't wait to get out and dig in the dirt a little, which always rejuvenates me. So I put together a fancy list of my five favorite perennials, in case you are starting to plant too and you're thinking "Wonder what kind of perennials, would Pam recommend?"
BTW, I am in the 6a zone on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zones chart (-10 to -5 F) in case you're wondering. Smack dab in the middle of the wonderful state of Ohio.

Bleeding Heart (Dicentra)
Great for partial to fully shaded areas. Comes in pink, red, white and yellow and are hardy in zones 3-9.
Astilbe
Part sun to shade and are hardy in zones 4-8.
Coral Bells (Heuchera)
Can take anything from sun to part shade and are hardy in zones 3-9, depending on the variety (this is where reading the tags comes in handy).
Hellebore (Helleborus)
Zones 4-9. They are supposed to be part sun to shade loving, but I have my Hellebore in full sun for 80% of the daylight hours and it does just fine.
Speedwell (Veronica)
They like full sun and are hardy for zones 4-8.
