One section even has three lists: partial shade, full shade and one for shrubs and trees. It also tells about soil preparation, compost and adjusting the pH. Plus you can click on some of the highlighted plants and get even more information about the specific plant.

I have them underneath a maple tree and they love it there. They are in full bloom right now and I just love there show of color. I'm going to have to get more reds for next year I didn't end up with many this year but I sure do like them. They are great.
