Being frugal and having less and less time to spend in the yard, I just LOVE perennial flowers/plants. I am so excited that the ones I bought and planted last year are returning and looking great! I have 3 or 4 at the base of our front porch (shown below). Some are daisies that will not bloom until later in the summer, but the green is so nice for now.
I also purchased two clematis from Lowe's last summer on clearance. They are doing well and beginning to creep up both sides of the garage:
Below are some mums that I also got on clearance late last summer. I think they were early bloomers and no one wanted them. The flowers didn't last long. However, my father-in-law planted them on a visit and they are coming back much stronger than expected. Well worth the $3/plant!! I have 4 of them planted in our front island and the green it added looks great. I hope that they do bloom later this summer/early this fall.
