Margo--what a wonderful way to raise money for Heart Research! May God Bless you and your husband.

Sherry, my major plant collections are iris and daylilies. I alternate them in staggered rows with other perennials to give a year round mix: daylily, iris, aster, daylily iris, sedum, daylily etc. Pixie or elf liliies can be in the same rows with my iris/daylilies. Taller Asiatics, Orientals, LAs are spaced in the back rows with phlox, clematis, Sibeiran iris, cannas, tall asters, tall mums, coneflowers--etc. I space my plantings for a variety of color, shape & blooming season. It's easier than it sounds.

I try new perennials all the time in my rows & pull out ones that don't do well in Iowa's droughts or frigid winters. Still looking for the perfect combinations. I like a riot of color from April to November.
