Hardiness

Here is the annual/perennial categorization of the flowers that we have grown in our zone 5 garden:


Annuals

Canna indica (bulbs must be dug up and stored for the winter)

Canna 'Robert Kemp' (bulbs must be dug up and stored for the winter)

Salvia coccinea (This may occasionally reseed, but one cannot count on that in zone 5.)

Salvia exserta (This may occasionally reseed, but one cannot count on that in zone 5.)

Salvia subrotunda (This may occasionally reseed, but one cannot count on that in zone 5.)


Perennials

Agastache rupestris (the hardiness here is marginal and could die in a cold winter.)


Reseeding annuals

These only need to be planted once, and will reliably reseed in your garden.
