Shrubs - Evergreen
Evergreen shrubs keep growing new leaves throughout the winter and, thus, provide shelter, screening, and year-round interest. Every year we pull together a wide selection that have beautiful flowers, variegated leaves, and brightly colored berries that the birds will enjoy eating as much as you enjoy viewing.
Learn more about what to plant and when to plant it in our advice section and find even more information in our resources.
