Reply:Hello,


Try Hydrangeas for beautiful foliage and impressive flowers. Most will bloom for about 4-5weeks. Some species will hold the colorful blossoms until frost. For ever-blooming color from early summer into the fall, Stella D'Oro daylilies are an excellent choice. I'm also in Pa and use these often in landscape designs.
