What flowers/plants to plant between now and the fall in Wisconsin?
We just moved and there is no type of landscaping in the yard. I would like to plant some flowers or flowering shrubs in the front and back. The front gets quite a bit of sun and the back is pretty shady. I am in Kenosha, which is southeastern Wisconsin, in the MidWest. I really like hydrangeas and dahlias, but don’t know anything about planting, care, etc. Please any advice for an extreme novice on a budget. Thanks a lot!

Fall and winter are great times to plant shrubs. It’s also the time to plant bulbs for next spring.
Check out your local nurseries and garden centers. They can give you expert advice that you won’t generally find at the big box stores on what grows well in your area of the Midwest. You’ll also find lot’s of end of season bargains.
