I am looking for preferrably an online resource that covers the care of
perennials and shrubs and such in terms of pruning and cutting back
following or prior to the grow season. I have a variety of plants and I am a
novice on the best care during the non-growing season so I'm looking for a
good resource to look up my plants. In absence of an online resource if
anyone can suggested PC based guides or books that may cover a variety of
plants and this care that would be great!

Many of the books, sites, and resources I've run into really don't go into
much details at all around the non-growing season care. I've paged through a
bunch that say "cut back and shape during dormant season" - great, but for
the novice, what does that mean and when is that for the particular plant! I
understand what it means in general, but what it specifically means for each
plant I am looking up is what I am after.

thanks for any help!
