For the best local professional advice I would highly suggest contacting your cooperative extension. These offices are manned by volunteer master gardeners on site there waiting to answer the communities questions that know your local situation quite well.
Master gardeners are required to volunteer back designated hours ( plus continuing education) each year to maintain MG certification -this community outreach and education is their goal. The most offices have emailed questions delivered to them.
You can always get great plant info (care & feeding) from you County Extension Agent. It's a government office and the info is free.
I use the app PlantNet to id plants, flowers, and weeds. You can cut a few leaves off and visit a local nursery to id the shrub.
I always use PlantNet.
