My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hardiness 5 container combos for year round color

6 years ago

Hello,


Are there any perennial plants hardy for zone 5 that can be beautifully combined in containers and that could give year round color for partial to full shade balcony?


P.S. I live in hardiness zone 7, that's why I'm asking for zone 5 plants - I want to be sure they'll survive.
