Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Your gardens are lovely. We moved here to the foothills 3 years ago and I am finally experiencing the sread of all the perrinials I have planted. My longest and most difficult garden is on a serious slope, but finally, the day lilies and iris are spreading. My hibiscus is putting on quite a show right now and I just planted gladiola that had spread beyond a small plot. Don't know why, but my coneflowers die each winter! I plant them every year, plants, not seed. I will just keep trying.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I have not had much luck with coneflowers either. I have a small amount that come back, but they are small and not nearly the display I would like!
