With their brilliant, often fragrant blooms, ornamental shrubs bring a much-needed splash of color to the landscape.

Oakleaf Hydrangea
Most hydrangeas are grown for their summer blooms, but oakleaf hydrangea has the additional attributes of rich crimson fall color and attractive fruit sprays.

Lilac
An old favorite, lilac needs no introduction to most North American gardeners. Many new cultivars and hybrids are available, as well as additional species.

Japanese Rose
Ideal for shady areas, kerria is a tough, carefree plant that produces abundant, beautiful yellow flowers in spring. Its slightly arching stems stay bright green year-round, providing winter interest.

Rosa 'Carefree Wonder'
This well-shaped shrub rose produces a profusion of 3 to 4 inch semi-double flowers in two flushes each year. Like other classic shrub roses, 'Carefree Wonder' is easy to grow, tolerant of almost any conditions, disease resistant, and very hardy.

Northern Lights Azaleas
This group of superhardy deciduous azaleas was developed in Minnesota as a complex series of hybrids involving the hardiest North American and Asian Rhododendron species.
