What flowers and bushes can I plant in mid july? I want to spruce up my

garden with color? I have just purchased a cond. The person that I bought the condo from had it looking nice but she has let it go down hill in the last couple of weeks, because she knewshe was moving. I am looking for some bushes and flowers- bright to plant now in the heat in North Carolina. I would just like to make it look nice. I am a first time gardener aswell as a first time home owner, so I would like to keep the appearance of my garden up. If anyone knows of any nice flowers and bushes at a low cost please reccomend. I have a shaded area of the garden aswell as a sunny rea of the garden. Please Help!
