    The answer somewhat depends on the zone you are in. What is hardy in florida isn't necessary hardy in canada.

    Joan, if you can share your region we can answer your question more thoroughly. I've found, though, that in almost all climates there's a pansy and a petunia that will grow. The pansies sold in my area of the rockies will even bloom under a foot of snow! The nurseries here sell a particularly hardy pansy.

    there must be a garden center nearby-they are very helpful so check them out-not a Walmart or stores similiar as many of the employees do not know any answers!!

    Pansies are really hardy this time of year, yet it really depends on where you live. For myself in Michigan, I would definitely choose Pansies along with some more flower-related questions for a local Home Depot or Lowe’s employee. Their staff is very friendly and helpful especially in their garden centers.

    Evergreens are especially hardy and for flowers... Perennials! I luv my yellow day- lilly's best because they bloom from late spring/early summer all the way through early fall! w/no upkeep! Lots of green foilage and tons of yellow blooms!

    Your local nursery or garden center can best address your issue. You don't mention your location, growing issues (sun, shade, water, deer, squirrels, slope, soil, etc.).
