I am a new gardener. What plants or flowers last a long time to plan

https://www.thisoldhouse.com/ideas/best-garden-flowers-color-all-summer

perennials come back every year BUT what I did was get a gardening catalog and see what they recommended for different areas of my property eg...shady or full sun and what area of the country for what thrives in certain temperatures etc they don't want their products to fail THEN went and found them at my local garden center (lowes etc.. ) my gardens are amazing

Try and plant perinials they come back year after year.

Since you do not say what growing zone you live in, go to your local plant nursery and talk to someone there. They will assist you with different plants that grow in your area and soil type.

Depends on where you are located, do you know your planting zone? In order to give you good advice knowing your planting zone and where in your yard you wish to plant (in sun or shade or partial sun/shade) would be beneficial

Thank you for the great ideas.

Gold lace Juniper and Blue Dystyllum are my favorites. Of course, boxwood is an incontournable.

hostas are hardy and need little care. Many varieties.

Hello, you need to first find out what zone you live in, once you know what zone, you can search perennials that are best for your zone.
