A pretty Japanese deciduous barberry with bright yellow foliage throughout the year. I find it prefers bright semi-shade in Australia or it will burn in full sun. Great accent in the garden which really brightens up a shady corner.
Deciduous medium growing shrub birch, great in wet soils. The only birch to turn red in autumn.
An evergreen shrub with soft pale mauve panicles of flowers during winter. Easy to grow and very tough. Frost and drought hardy. 3m x 3m, best in full sun.
Often mistaken for a lilac. The grey leaves fall off during winter, leaving the amazing mauve purple flower panicles.
Pretty white flowers in summer attractive to pollinating bees and butterflies. Contrasting dark green leaves, which turn shades of pale yellow, and bronze before falling in autumn. White berries can be held throughout winter, adding interest to the shrub border and a food supply to birds. Easy to grow in full to part shade.
Pretty variegated shrub with bee attracting blue flowers in late summer and autumn.
A vigorous deciduous shrub with vibrant yellow flowers in early spring. Leaves turn a clear golden yellow in autumn. Very hardy and easy to grow.
A hardy deciduous shrub, with many spreading, pendulous, branches with golden yellow flowers
Pure white flowers smother this frost hardy hibiscus in the warm summer months.
An interesting old fashioned mop head hydrangea with distinctive individually cupped flowers. A great bloomer needing little care. Pink or blue colour depends on the acidity of the soil.
