Gardening in Zone 5

To share with you the flowers in my #Zone 5 backyard garden, with low maintenance and no winter protection. 

My planting style is laidback: plant once and enjoy as long as possible with minimum work. So I mostly planted perennials that are hardy, require low maintenance and will come back year after year.

I finally decided to put together videos of the varieties that have been doing well in my backyard. I hope it helps you find the ones that fit your garden.
