You can look up your hardiness zone on the newest map. Simply enter your zip code. http://www.arborday.org/treeinfo/zoneloo... I'm 48383 which is one of three small zone five areas in southeastern Michigan.



Note the 10 free trees link on the left hand menu.



Most plants prefer full sun. I believe this Saturday is the annual flower sale at Eastern Market. http://www.easternmarket.org/ If you can't make it there, most of the local home and garden centers will also have sales. I prefer English Gardens at Ford Rd and Outer Drive or any of the Randazzo locations will have plants at a discount.
Reply:You're in zone 5, as I am. All you do is go to any garden center and look at what they have. Those plants are suited to your environment, and all have tags describing necessary growing conditions.
