Re: wat r suitable bushes etc for a front yard here in Canada
Evan, your zone is between 3 and 4 since you are a bit further south than me. You may have pockets of 5 but if you want shrubs that are hrdy pernnials, stick to ones that do good in the 3 to low 4 range.Comment

Re: wat r suitable bushes etc for a front yard here in Canada
Her area can get away easily with zone 3 shrubs/plants. I live further north and dont really need to deal with the zone 2 business unless I simply like the plant.
Depending on the sun, wind, soil type, color scheme etc. under her window here are a few ideas:
Barberry
Azaleas - really nice in the spring
Lilac bushes
Russian Sage
Lavender
And a classic around here: Spireas
Mock Orange
Junipers
These are impossible to kill off during Canadian winters.Comment

Re: wat r suitable bushes etc for a front yard here in Canada
true nylah, sometimes u can have microclimates that vary from the general temp zone for ur area. like if u plant is going to be near sunny side of the house and is a brick house.
i was going to recommend forsythia because i just love how it signal the start of spring with those bright cheerful flowers. its hardy to zone 5 according to my book, but if vannie pick a nice sunny spot it should do well.Comment
