I've only planted the front yard. (We have a 1 year old dog who I'm not confident has been broken of his digging habit yet, so I'm not wasting any time/money planting flowers in the fenced in backyard yet. lol)
In the front yard, I have...portulaca, dahlias, impatiens, verbena, shasta daisies, dianthus (which I didn't plant this year - they came back from last year, oddly enough), sweet alyssum...there are a few more that I'm drawing a total blank on the flower name! Could give you a good description - ex. the orange daisy looking thing with the bluish purple center - but can't tell you the name. lol
(Note - the front yard has areas that are almost entirely shaded, along with areas that are almost completely full sun. Our front porch casts a weird shadow.)
I'm hoping to plant some red and buff roses somewhere this year - was recently recommended a climbing variety of buff rose, so I'm thinking perhaps I could put it along the fence? We'll see...
I'd also like to plant some lilacs, but probably won't get to that until next year.
