Hardy Evergreen 

 Flowering Shrubs 



The hardy evergreen flowering shrubs are so named because they hold their rich green foliage 

 throughout the winter. Many of them are shade loving as indicated by ®. They are ideal for 

 foundation planting, while the gorgeous blooms and color mass of many of these species are not 

 equaled by any other outdoor plant. They look well planted by themselves or in combination 

 with coniferous evergreens or other shrubs, always adding a cheery touch to the garden in winter. 

 The symbols are: D = Dwarf (less than 4 feet high); M=Medium Tall (4 to 8 feet high); T=Tall 

 (8 feet and taller).
