Collection: Deciduous Shrubs

Deciduous shrubs are the seasonal storytellers of the garden. Fresh spring leaves, summer flowers, fall color, sometimes berries through the cold months, then the bare-architecture moment in winter that lets the bones of the planting show. A border with no deciduous shrubs in it tends to look the same all year.

This collection covers every deciduous shrub in our catalog. You'll find lilac, viburnum, hydrangea, smokebush, beautyberry, mock orange, weigela, ninebark, witch hazel, and dozens more we cycle through seasonally. Most prefer well-drained soil, regular moisture in their first season, and a light renewal pruning every year or two to keep them flowering well.

Pair them with evergreen structure for year-round bones, and use our Garden Planner to lay out the bed if you're working from scratch.
