Any suggestion which plant?
Isn't the ground frozen?





Anyway, early bloomers are Forsythia--a long-stemmed/loose growing shrub (6-8' tall, unprunned) with 1" wide canary yellow flowers in March.





And, Crocus--these are bulbs that grow to about 4-6" and have white, yellow, or blue blossoms in March.





And Cushion Spurge (Euphoria)--a herbaceous perennial (a 1.5', loose growing, mound) that has a yellow flower in March.
Reply:Haven't you had a lot of snow there? I'll bet that the ground is either frozen or muddy. You should not plant anything outside until the soil has dried some. If you take a handful of dirt and squeeze it and it sticks together in a ball then it's too wet to plant. The soil should fall apart before planting anything. I would wait until about May, then go check out your local garden store. By that time you will probably be able to plant and the variety at the garden store will be plentiful -- and they can offer tips on growing. Good luck!
