Frequently Asked Questions
What flowers come back every year in Minnesota?
Hardy perennials and Minnesota natives like purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, daylilies, hostas, and wild bergamot reliably return each year and tolerate our winters with little care.
When is the best time to plant in Minnesota?
Spring and early fall are ideal planting windows in Minnesota. Fall planting lets roots establish before winter, while spring planting takes advantage of the full growing season — both beat planting in summer heat.
What are the best low-maintenance plants for Minnesota?
Native perennials such as coneflower, black-eyed Susan, wild bergamot, and little bluestem are the best low-maintenance choices — drought-tolerant once established, winter-hardy, and pollinator-friendly.
