I want to plant perenials this year but dont know where to start. I’m new at growing flowers outside and want easy to maintain, beautiful, hearty flowers that can withstand the north-west region( pictures and websites would be a plus).


What kinds of plants/flowers can I put in my dog’s memorail graves that will come back year after year?

I live in southern Idaho .I already planted some bulbs in one dog’s grave ,/ They have not or did not come up so I’m a little worried about them. They are in Scruffy’s grave for those of you from Pets-Dogs) and now I’m looking for plants/flowers that will come back year after year. They will be both Scruffy’ss and Liberty’s memorials. It’s get below freezing in the winter here so we have to fact that in this.

Does anyone have any great ideas of what I can plant in their memorials that will come back year after year and get bigger too? One idea I’m playing is rose bushes. Does anyone know of plants that have beautiful flowers to remind me of them at their graveside?I’m open to suggestions.Can anyone please help me out here?

Thank You for all the suggestions with this!
