Daylilies are rugged, adaptable, vigorous perennials that endure in a garden for many years with little or no care. Daylilies adapt to a wide range of soil and light conditions.

Where to Plant Daffodils. Plant daffodils in a sunny spot, one that gets at least 6 hours of bright sun each day. If planted in partial shade, the plants will still produce green leaves, but they won't bloom.

To care for hyacinths, plant them in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, water moderately and fertilize with bulb food in spring and early fall. Allow the foliage to die back naturally.

Pansies are a popular type of viola (Viola × wittrockiana) known for their vibrant, colorful blooms and "face-like" patterns, often featuring contrasting colors and markings. They thrive in cool weather.

The wild columbine, or eastern red columbine, of North America grows in woods and on rocky ledges from southern Canada southward. It is one to three feet tall. The flowers are red with touches of yellow and are pollinated by hummingbirds.

Lilacs demand full sun and good air circulation, especially to keep powdery mildew from forming on their leaves. A neutral, fairly alkaline soil composted with plenty of organic material is necessary for good growth.
