My thumb is dirt (potting soil brown!
I live in Eastern Ma.
.
I went to UMass Amherst and I can assure you they have some of the best horticulture information available.
Several times a year they offer classes through the local Extension services for the public. I recommend those classes highly.
In Massachusetts, we range from planting zone 4 to 6.
You would be surprised how walled gardens in Cambridge and Boston for example stay warm through the winter.
While, my north facing front yard is a zone 4(darn cold!)
There is a book that you will LOVE

North American Wildflowers.
