Shrubs And Small Trees
Our selection of flowering shrubs and small trees offers great visual beauty with colorful flowers, fruit and showy fall foliage. Native shrubs are especially valuable to wild birds, and many of them offer nectar-rich flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Tired of boring junipers (poodle bushes)? These flowering shrubs and small trees add valuable year-round interest and structure to your sustainable landscape. They are also invaluable for providing habitat for song birds.
