ShrubsAbelia x grandiflora
Glossy Abelia
Glossy Abelia is a graceful, semi-evergreen shrub producing an abundance of small, fragrant white-pink bell-shaped flowers from June to October. Bronze-tinted young foliage and persistent red calyces after flowering extend the decorative season. One of the longest-blooming garden shrubs.
ShrubsCallicarpa bodinieri
Beautyberry
Beautyberry is a striking shrub that truly shines in autumn and winter thanks to clusters of glossy, violet-purple berries along its bare branches. In summer, modest pink flowers appear and the green foliage turns yellow in autumn. Plant several specimens close together for optimal berry production.
ShrubsCotinus coggygria
Smoke Tree
The smoke tree is a spectacular ornamental shrub with cloud-like, fluffy flower plumes in shades of pink appearing in June and July, giving the tree its 'smoky' appearance. Cultivars with dark purple foliage provide dramatic colour throughout the season. Autumn colour is equally impressive.
ShrubsEuonymus alatus
Burning Bush
The burning bush is a broadly spreading shrub famous for its spectacular, vivid red autumn colour — one of the most intense of all garden plants. The branches display distinctive cork-like wings. After leaf fall, small pink-orange fruits appear that attract birds.
ShrubsRibes sanguineum
Flowering Currant
The flowering currant is one of the earliest-blooming garden shrubs, with hanging clusters of pink to deep red flowers appearing as early as March and April. The aromatic, three-lobed leaves emerge alongside the blooms. An indispensable spring shrub that attracts bees and butterflies early in the season.
ShrubsWeigela florida
Weigela
Weigela is a versatile ornamental shrub that becomes smothered in trumpet-shaped flowers in pink to deep red during May and June. The shrub has a broad, arching growth habit and makes an attractive backdrop in the border. Some cultivars feature striking dark red or variegated foliage that extends interest into autumn.
