Shrubs

Shrubs are of a decorative interest principally. Some are appreciated in hedges. Furthermore they require in general little maintenance (a few leaves to pick up in autumn, wilted flowers to take away and the firewood to cut). They always enter in the composition of a garden, to hide a fence, to attract the look, to break the monotony of a lawn or to compose colors which will emphasise other decorative elements, trees, statues, paths, for example. Their colour comes from flowers and from the foliage, variegated foliage (variety of Andromeda, for example) or silver underside (variety of Elaeagnus), without forgetting the colours of the autumn (Hamamelis mollis or carlesii Viburnum for example).
Conifers are not described in this rubric, because they attain always or almost sizes of trees. There are dwarf varieties, for example blue Fir, which I describe among trees.

You choose flowering shrubs spread over the year or producing interesting foliage or fruit in the fall or winter. Here are links to listings of the site and to the pages of our partners (marked with this sign)
