Shrubs are woody plants that typically grow to a medium height, filling landscapes with structure, texture, and color. Known for their versatility, shrubs are often used as borders, hedges, or standalone features in garden design. They come in evergreen and deciduous varieties, each offering unique seasonal interest, from the year-round greenery of boxwoods and holly to the vibrant blooms of azaleas and hydrangeas. Shrubs can thrive in various climates and soil conditions, providing options for both sun and shade gardens. Beyond aesthetics, shrubs also offer functional benefits, such as creating privacy, defining garden spaces, and providing shelter for wildlife.
