I like davesgarden.com when I'm looking up how well a plant will do here. People will chime in to let you know how it works where they live (at the bottom of the specific plant page)

And these folks are cool: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/
(find your extension agent at that site)

I haven't bookmarked all my favorites on this computer, but I can get lost typing in "Plant name" and hitting Images...

(Rain is falling on my garden as we speak. I managed to snag two Climbing America roses for 1.00 each ( they were bare root and leafing out so they were marked way down) so after a long day I am very happy to not have to worry about watering them and the peas and the strawberries and the asparagus and the potatoes and the new hepatica, ginseng, and the old salvia and coreopsis and Indian pinks and lilies and ferns and wild azaleas and maypops and iris and ranunculus and blah blah blah that is growing everywhere...... I do love spring...)
