Good link to what flowers to grow where? I've tried and keep getting plac
places that want to send flowers to someone else or to just buy plants.

I have a semi-shade spot in front of my house and want to find out which are the best kind of plants to put there but am not having any luck on the web.

I'm sure it's that I just don't know where to look. Any ideas?

Thanks loads!

3. Try this
North Carolina Extension Service website. There should be something about what to plant in your zone that will do well.
