About
Choosing Shrubs Shrubs and bushes are an indispensable part of any garden, providing structure and interest. They can vary in height from less than half a metre to over five metres tall at maturity. For ground covering shrubs, look at the low growing Juniper varieties. The features of shrubs and bushes are wonderfully varied, including colourful foliage, beautiful flowers, eye catching bark, bright berries and delicate catkins. Flowering shrubs are capable of glorious colourful displays, whereas evergreen shrubs provide year-round structure and colour. For spring to summer interest, Magnolia, Cornus, Syringa and Viburnum are popular. For outstanding winter interest, Cornus shrubs have vibrant stems and Hamamelis produce winter flowers. Several Euonymus varieties have autumnal foliage, bright berries and unusual winged bark for plenty of autumn and winter interest.
