That web site is quite useful for selecting the right bamboo. I am
hoping that there will be web sites similar to this and have a broader
selection of plants than just bamboo.

Although not comprehensive, Bluestone Perennials has a search feature on
their website that lets you specify characteristics such as zone, type of
soil, amount of sun, height, bloom time, bloom color, etc. You enter the
filters and it returns plants from their catalog that meet your
specifications. Since they have a good selection of plants, it is a helpful
tool even if you don't intend to buy anything. www.bluestoneperennials.com
