Shrubs

Shrubs can add so much to the garden and landscape—including creating a screen for privacy, providing shade, creating structure or "bones" for the garden, perfuming the air with fragrance, offering food and shelter for songbirds, and delivering pops of color through their flowers and foliage. Choose from a variety of shrubs that are easy to grow, hardy and reliable, such as azaleas, weigelas and reblooming wisteria. When selecting and planting shrubs, take into account their height, spread, whether they prefer full sun, partial shade or shade, their bloom times and in what grow zones they perform best.
