Flowering Shrub Files

The flowering shrubs in the categories below are useful for adding splashes of seasonal color in the landscape, and in your home when used for cut flowers. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Some take full sun while others, such as the ever-popular 'Encore' Azaleas, prefer growing in the shady areas of the landscape. Flowering shrubs are useful in many ways other than for the color they provide in the landscape. When planted to form natural screens, hedges, borders or buffers they can provide privacy. When grouped or mixed together, they can provide splashes of vibrant color in landscaped beds, islands and woodland borders. Many flowering shrubs are useful as foundation shrubs or espalier when planted around the home or other structures. When limbed up to form a small tree, or left to grow naturally, many flowering shrubs can be useful as a focal point or specimen to accentuate an entryway or draw attention to a particular area in the landscape.

Growing Flowering Shrubs

Most flowering shrubs are easy to grow and don't need a whole lot of maintenance. An occasional pruning or snipping of a branch here and there, and timely applications of a good shrub fertilizer will suffice for the most part. Some flowering shrubs will need water should you find yourself in a drought situation, while others are quite drought tolerant. You can rest assured that the better care you give your flowering shrubs, the more they will reward you in the future.
