Default Re: If you could grow just three flowers what would they be?
Only 3?? Here's my top picks:

1. Daylillies: A sturdy perennial that's as low maintenance as it gets. I've got about a dozen different varieties throughout the garden, and the flowering is staggered throughout the summer. The foliage starts to come up in late spring, which makes them the perfect companion for my #2 pick:

2. Daffodils: All they really need is a spot with good drainage and some sun and they'll naturalize over just a few seasons. When I see the daffodils pop at the end of March/beginning of April I can actually believe that winter is almost over...

3. Hydrangea: Not as low maintenance as my other picks (it takes some serious pruning in the spring), but the hydrangea in my yard puts out gorgeous blue flowers in late summer through fall.
