Coralbells or Heuchara can be ...Hi Wakeupscreaming,<br />Coralbells or Heuchara can be finicky in a colder garden. In this particular article the blogger does not say how they overwinter the out of zone perennials. I have yet to be able to overwinter a heuchera as well. <br />I suspect snow cover and micro climates all play a part.<br /><br />I thought heuchara was actually zone 4-9. Here in Winnipeg, we are zone 2b yet due to microclimates, I see many a gardener successful in growing heuchara. Zone map information here: http://planthardiness.gc.ca/index.pl?m=1<br /><br />Knowing your microclimate in the garden can help. Like between our house and neighbours house, we get gale force winds that rip off roofing tiles and the wind is always a cold northerly wind. I've lost plenty there before realizing this. I have a protected area by my garage that I can even keep my opuntia cactus through the winter.<br /><br />In my experience with lupines, they are shortlived (3-5 yrs)perennials and rely on self seeding. That may be the case for icelandic poppies too. I don't grow those so cannot offer insight into them.<br />Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-7324711530844082962018-06-12T22:16:59.969-07:002018-06-12T22:16:59.969-07:00I planted a healthy Coralbells var.

"Melting Fire" (Heuchera) last year.<br />It wasn't labeled with the zone hardiness, but I read off the internet, most Heuchera are zone 3 hardy.<br /><br />Well, our last winter 2017-2018 got very cold. Down to -38 degrees celsius.<br />Perrenials right next to it came back, but it didn't make the winter.<br />I'm thinking that not all Heuchera are true zone 3 hardy.<br /><br />Also, several lupines and even icelandic poppy didn't come back, but several did in the same locations. I"m not sure how to explain why some survive and others don't? Is it the chance how deep the roots are for each plant?wakeupscreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629028244290208605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-60937176351392811792017-06-15T11:05:36.590-07:002017-06-15T11:05:36.590-07:00I'm afraid I don't have the Latin names fo...I'm afraid I don't have the Latin names for them, but globe flowers do very well here in Snow Lake Mb., as do painted daisies(even though my husband has been known to mow them down or park his quad on them in the winter). I also have very good luck with pink peony (Sarah Bernhart). These lovely plants have survived my husband for over 10 years and produce the most abundant huge candy pink blossoms year after year with little or no shelter. Not even goutweed has managed to choke them out.<br /><br />Thank you for the guidance and recommendations for other perennials. As I grow older, I find that perennial gardening is the way to go!

Also for everyone else, I found out that perennials aren't tested further north than a few zone 3 CAN cities -- instead check out CAN prairie authors Sarah Williams & June Flanagan that both lay out perennials, veg, trees, shrubs, vines, decorative native plants, & xeriscape plants for cold climate gardening (zone 2a & even colder)<br /><br />P.S. I'm frankly sad you've moved to BC as we'll loose your perspective on really cold-climate gardening!

All plants/bulbs could benefit from mulch or straw or boughs of evergreens over the soil, but if they are truly hardy plants, they should live anyhow.Gardenistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129253261044774675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-62063902633577368482010-09-15T08:45:29.616-07:002010-09-15T08:45:29.616-07:00I'm not sure if you check this frequently or n...I'm not sure if you check this frequently or not, but I am often on here, looking for perennial ideas.. we built on an acreage 5 years ago and every spring and fall since then I have been adding and rearranging trying to get things just right. I have a question - I am from Prince Albert SK. Last weekend, I dug out about 50 huge assorted perennials from my MIL (who's about 400km south of here).... I have been dropping them in a few a night, but its getting dark early and working fulltime, I haven't gotten too many in. They are stacked in boxes in my garage (about 10 degrees).... how long will they hold in those boxes before the roots die off? Some have dirt, the bulbs don't.... how long do I have to get these things planted for the best chance at success? Also, what can I do to ensure they weather through our northern winter? I currently only have red mulch chips on my beds. Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
