your area has more than 3 hours of full sun, but less than
6 sunny hours, the perennials in this category would be some
of the best choices. Soil quality will make a big difference
in the plant's growth. Adding organic matter - peat moss,
cow manure, Espoma Plant Tone, and Plant Sure Plus is a sure
recipe for happy plants.
