J'espere creatir le jardin de Provence, mais les hivers sont tres froid! Peut-etre les annuals...okay, that's about all the french I can do, (and I'm sure it was not done well) but can anyone recommend some annuals or hardy perennials, besides sunflowers and Hidcote lavender to somewhat recreate Provence?

Sorry this is in English, but French class was many years ago...thank you for your help :)

Merci!
