flowering shrubs

Ornamental garden plants

Flowering shrubs are woody plants that produce blossoms and grow with multiple stems from the base rather than a single trunk.

The category includes garden favorites like azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and lilacs.

Landscapers and gardeners treat them as a distinct planting category: We added some flowering shrubs along the fence.
