I grow tons of shrubs. They all flower but some of them are not here for the flowers but for the fruit that comes later. I like to attract the backyard songbirds, especially those that eat fruit with lots of shrubs growing here. Like Serviceberries, nanking cherry, Aronia, Beautiberry, Gourmi, viburnums , winterberry and grey dogwood, which is a large shrub.

Then there are the shrubs grown for their flowers. Those would be mainly my azealeas, spirea and lilacs. I do have three blue Hydrangeas and a old and big Weigelia. Also a Kerria, which I love for the early spring pompom flowers and because it reminds me of when I was a child. There were lots of Kerrias around then that all dissappeared thru the years.
