Alaska Perennial Backyard Garden

Summer 2000

If you're planning a garden in southcentral Alaska and looking for hardy plants, these are worth considering. They're definitely the survivors. Many were moved to this location the spring of 1999 so have survived a winter. Winters here typically have periods of temperatures below zero, plenty of wind with chill factors well below zero, and often not much snow cover. Will update the survivor stat's when I see who comes up in 2001!
