Anyone try bulbs or flowers that are not suppose to come back in your zone and they have?
I have cala lilies that come back every year!

Also have an annual foilage silvery plant that lived and grew all winter and is still doing wonderful...

and we had snow this past season!

I have Sweet William that I grew from seed the first year I started seeds. It didn't bloom the first year and I'd completely forgotten about by the end of the summer. In the Spring, I had a "Hey, where did you come from?!?" moment when I dragged out the neglected planter full of what I'd assumed were weeds and found it blooming.

I divided it the next year and put it in the garden, where it just about triples in size every year. Imagine my surprise when I came across the original seed packet and found it listed as a biennial. :)
