Cottage-Style Perennial Garden Thrives in High-Altitude Idaho

In Hailey, Idaho (near Sun Valley), Sally and Russ Horn plant perennials in autumn, protected by reliable snow cover (Dec–Apr). Their July garden shimmers with Shasta daisies, delphiniums, clematis, foxgloves, and veronica. Cool summer nights and warm days suit perennials perfectly.
