In the backyard this currently include ‘ Miss Kim ’ lilacs(Syringapubescens‘Miss Kim ’ , Zones 3–8 ) , spruce(Picea , Zones 2–7 ) , crabapples(Malus),Viburnum , ninebark(Physocarpusopulifolius , Zones 2–8 ) , ‘ Matrona’sedum(Hylotelephium telephium‘Matrona ’ , Zones 2–9 ) . There is also an obelisk and a birdbath .

Fast - forward a twosome of months to the first flower of spring : Crocus .

The garden is in full - swing byJunewithAllium‘Purple Sensation ’ ( Zones 3–9 ) , pinkPaeoniaveitchii(Zones 4–8 ) , yellowPrimula , the pinkish flowers on the wild apple , and the various - non-white foliage ofHeuchera . Clematis durandii(Zones 5–9 ) , on the dagger , will blossom fromJulythroughOctober , andDahlia‘Cornel Bronze ’ ( zone 8–10 or as a tender light bulb ) will start up bloom inAugustand keep until frost .
