Go to good local nursery with photo of spot and overhead trees and maybe soil sample, they will/should also give you a guarantee on the plant.

  it's the same advise I was going to give Johnchip. Janet must have had a rough day or maybe was replying to someone else and got mixed up.

  Janet Pizaro: As you can see, something is wrong with this woman. She has been stalking my comments and flagging me telling people not to listen to me, just crazy jealous stuff. I get many compliments, thank you's and giggles for my advise and humor. I just ignore her personal nastiness towards me, but it has gotten out of hand with her vendetta now. She has been attacking my comments almost daily now with these crazy kinds of statements. She is obsessed with her role as a commentator on the site and has gone way over the line in her jealous vendetta of personal attacks on me. Maybe an apology is in order if you are so concerned with playing Miss Manners.

  It's a pain but can you report her so you can enjoy your blog. some people are just wackadoo and ignoring them just eggs them on even more. Thankfully people can read and see it for them selves. You cant"t hide on the internet unless you have a lot of money like Charlie Sheen.

I agree with Johnchip, go to your local nursery for help. Also go to a good bookstore and they will have a selection of books regarding the plants that are good for your area. If you have a Botanical Garden that is a good place to get information. Judy Metz

geraniums are not shrubs but they "bush" out & are easy keepers and are fragrant and blooms come in a variety of colors. good luck.
