What is the best, hardiest plant for a garden with these conditions?
1) Located in central CT (hot and humid summers, cold winters)
2) Owner does not want anything high-maintenance (I’m looking more along the lines of something I don’t have to plant and rip up at the end of the season.)
3) Direct sunlight from about 11:30am until 5:00pm in the summers.
4) Soil is not sandy, but dries somewhat quickly in the summer due to sloped lakefront location and heat.
Thanks for your help. I’m clueless about this stuff…

What outdoor plants can I grow in the winter or plant to come up next spring?
Hello, I live in Maine and the winters are so dreary here. I was wondering if there were any plants I could grow in pots that will brighten up a dreary winter? Also, what bulbs, plants or seeds can I plant that will come up next spring?? Thank you, from someone not looking forward to the snow!
