Now...I am not about to take credit for any of the information that you have just read. I am just guilty of "borrowing" the photos and the information from a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I am also not familiar with all of the varieties you see here....and sadly most of them will not grow for me here in zone 3 as well as they will for many of you!
