Will Survive
what are good plants that will survive winter in the northeast?
I am planting a pretty extensive landscape in eastern connecticut and would like some ideas for plants that will survive through the winter. Any suggestions?
There’s so many perennial plants like Daylilly, Astilbe, Peony, Lily, & hardy Roses( especially Knockout roses) that will survive in your area. How about considering indigenous plants for the northeast:
