Blowening Evergreen Shrubs 
The largest number of ornamental plants available to gardeners in 
California are Evergreen Flowering Shrubs. This group includes 
subjects for every possible position; sun or shade, wet soils and dry. 
The coastal areas, inland valleys and lower mountains can all use 
them. Many have showy flowers, some useful for cutting, while 
some are only grown for their foliage. Many, like Pyracantha, Bar- 
berry, Arbutus, etc., make a show in fruits later in the season. 
Following descriptions we give the approximate temperature at 
which the plant is hardy. Use this as a guide only to choose plants 
for the location to be planted.
