Buy flowering shrubs

Embrace the vibrant hues and diverse textures of flowering shrubs in your garden with our selection of ornamentals. Cornus alba 'Sibirica' offers a splash of vivid red stems in winter, while the Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple', commonly known as smoke tree, astonishes with its purplish foliage and smoky flower clusters. These shrubs not only add color and volume to your garden but also attract beneficial pollinators, enhancing the ecological value of your outdoor space.

The Allure of Flowering Shrubs

Flowering shrubs play a pivotal role in the design of any garden, offering a multi-dimensional display of color, form, and texture. These versatile plants can serve as focal points, hedges, or even as a backdrop for other garden elements. With the right selection, you can enjoy a succession of blooms from early spring until the end of autumn.

Spring Blossoms to Enliven Your Garden

As the chill of winter fades, the garden begins to wake, and flowering shrubs are often the first heralds of the coming warmth. Magnolia 'Susan' unfolds its deep pink, tulip-shaped flowers to the delight of early-season gardeners. The intoxicating fragrance and impressive blooms make magnolias a beloved choice for many. Similarly, the Azalea japonica 'Kermesina' bursts with vivid red flowers, bringing a touch of oriental charm to the garden. These rhododendrons are particularly valued for their evergreen foliage and striking blossoms.

Summer's Fiery Display

As the season progresses, shrubs like the Euonymus alatus take stage with their lush green foliage that turns to brilliant shades of red and orange as summer draws to a close. Photinia × fraseri 'Little Red Robin', with its bright red new growth that matures to a deep green, is a superb choice for creating a lively hedge or standalone specimen that shines throughout the season.

Unique Forms and Textures

Not all flowering shrubs are chosen solely for their blossoms. Catalpa × erubescens 'Purpurea' and Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea', for instance, are treasured for their striking, heart-shaped foliage in shades of purple and gold, respectively. The large leaves create a stunning canopy, under which a garden can come alive.

Autumn Elegance

As the year winds down, the garden need not lose its luster. Shrubs like the Exochorda × macrantha 'The Bride' can provide a cascade of white flowers that resemble a bride's train, offering a serene beauty amidst the bustling activity of fall. Aesculus parviflora, with its bottlebrush-like white flowers, adds to the autumnal charm as it attracts wildlife and provides visual interest.

Winter Interest

The landscape in winter can be equally captivating with the right shrubs. The Cornus alba 'Sibirica', commonly known as Siberian dogwood, stands out with its brilliant red stems against the snow, providing a striking contrast during the coldest months.

By carefully selecting a variety of flowering shrubs, you can create a garden that is not only a feast for the eyes but also a haven for the local fauna. At Heijnen Plants, we ensure that each shrub is nurtured to meet our high-quality standards, so that your garden thrives throughout the year. With our diverse range of flowering shrubs, you can weave a tapestry of color and life that reflects the changing seasons.

In what period can I best plant flowering shrubs?

In a garden, flowering shrubs can serve as focal points, create privacy screens, or establish the backbone of a border. They bring structure, color, and scent to the landscape, while also providing shelter and food for wildlife, thereby contributing to the garden's overall health and biodiversity.

Which is the best period for transplanting flowering shrubs?

The ideal time for transplanting flowering shrubs is during their dormant season, from late fall to early spring. This timing minimizes stress on the plants and allows them to establish roots in their new location before the onset of warmer weather and active growth.

Which plants can be combined well with flowering shrubs?

Flowering shrubs can be beautifully combined with a diverse array of plants such as ornamental grasses for textural contrast, perennials for continuous bloom, and bee-friendly plants to create a haven for pollinators. Together, they enhance the garden's aesthetic and ecological value, providing a multi-seasonal display.

In which soil type do most flowering shrubs grow well?
