Hello all!

I have some questions about Brugs, and am hoping I came to the right place! (It certainly looks that way).

I have two places that I would like to plant a brug; one in full sun in a garden in Northeastern PA; the other on a partially shaded deck in the Poconos. Since I'm pretty much a first-timer, I was wondering if you all could recommend varieties that might be particularly good for each of those spots -- specifically: one that is easy to bloom; one that is shade tolerant. I am partial to the single, trumpet-shaped flowers, and like the white varieties (or pale pink or yellow).

I've been looking at the auctions on eBay, but read a thread here about false varieties being offered there (I ran into the same thing, btw, purchasing Daylilies on eBay earlier this season).

Any advice would be appreciated!
