Q: I have a cement planter box on the side of my yard. I was wondering what I could plant in it now that would come up every year and last through the spring and summer? something with colors, preferably, and not hostas, im over run with them. also how do you thin out and transplant hostas???? Thanks
A: Hydrangeas are nice and they come back every year. You can get different colors, pink, blue, green... There are so many different perennials!! Hydrangeas are usually pretty expensive but I ordered some from Spring Hill nursery online and I got one free. They usually run some really good deals. The plants do come very small though so you must be patient in waiting for it to fully bloom. I planted mine last spring and it was late August when it finally bloomed fully. This year it came back huge!!!
