what should i plant?
I live in Northwest Indiana, 2 years ago we planted a tree with some landscape annuals. Mostly hostas, mini rose bushes and some ornamental grass. Well last year the ornamental grass did not come back so the back half of my area does not have anything in it, so the front is fillled with plants and the back half behind the tree is empty. what kind of annuals can i plant that are hearty enough to withstand our cold weather., we had snow a week ago, and today was 85/ what will look nice and be easy to grow and will come back every year?
thanks

Trees for All Seasons: Broadleaved Evergreens for Temperate Climates $7.48 It’s simple: broadleaved evergreens are trees that don’t lose their leaves. And despite their versatility and beauty, they are often underused. Why? Most people, including knowledgeable gardeners, equate evergreens with conifers—and Christmas trees— rather than broadleaved plants.
