I live in rocky, rooty, rural area of high elevation,   ( 1.000 Ft. ) in Pennsylvania.,   which are the perinnials suited for this area (zone 5)?

Hi Richard This is one of those "how long is a piece of string?" questions. You'll have to work out the sun/shade/arrid/wet/boggy/windy stuff. I searched the Internet for you for 10 minutes. These look interesting (at least to me): http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMW… https://extension.psu.edu/pennsylvania-n… https://www.luriegarden.org/plant-life/ https://longwoodgardens.org/gardens/idea… Noel Kingsbury wrote a book about the Lurie Garden, sub titled "Lessons from Chicago's Lurie Garden", with detailed plant descriptions and hardiness. Might be useful. Nigel
