Shrubs for Your Landscape
Shrubs for Your Landscape
These are popular shrubs for your landscape. Next to trees, they are the most dominant anchoring points of the landscape.
Shrubs can be enjoyed for their foliage, whether it is the style of the leaves or the color, or for the beautiful flowers that they produce. Some shrubs are evergreen, they keep their leaves, while most are known as deciduous, their leaves drop for the winter.
Some of the evergreen shrubs include the junipers and arborvitaes, as well as hollies and some rhododendrons. There are varieties of shrubs that even have variegated leaves.
One of the best features of most shrubs is their flowers. While most only bloom for a short period of time, they are usually quite spectacular.
Some are very fragrant and showy while others get almost completely covered in blooms. Flower forms vary from many large singular flowers to large clusters of tiny flowers that give the appearance of a larger flower.
Bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds will appreciate the flowering shrubs in your yard.
