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).

acid soil.
