    Zone? 5b. Blizzard prone and any place with extreme weather will play with you when it comes to gardening. So I plant for zone 5a to cover the random July snow. But what do I know?

    Forget-me-not seeds are like tiny burrs, they are awful and will get into your dogs paws, fur, check EVERY plant in your yard for toxicity. You would not believe what kids will eat, or dogs.

    They thrive up here in Canada forget me k nots. Evening primrose does transplant easily. I have all these flowers in my garden. My parents and grandparents were master gardeners
