SHRUBS

Deciduous shrubs, those that lose their leaves in fall, give seasonal color and texture to the landscape. Flower and fruit displays, interesting foliage shapes and colors, and even bark color and texture add outdoor interest. Shrubs don't just have pretty faces, they can serve a definite purpose as border plants, accent plants with seasonal color, wildlife habitats, or as screening against an undesirable view or for privacy.

The right shrubs can bring a sense of completion to your landscape design, but determining which shrubs to choose can be a difficult decision. The best way to make wise choices is to check with the garden professionals at Reds. We'll help you select the best shrubs for your purpose and design, resulting in a garden that is both aesthetic and functional.

Plant and care for them properly and most shrubs will reach a mature size in three to five years. In a new landscape, choose large shrubs for an immediate effect in key areas such as the entrance to your home. Use smaller, more economical plants in areas such as distant beds where size is not as important from the start.
