Full bloom nursery Log In 0 Home Who We Are More shrubs Shrubs serve many functions in the landscape. In our Georgia southern gardens, there are many traditional shrubs that are a must-have including Camellia, Hydrangea, Azalea and Viburnum. Many shrubs provide food for birds and butterflies while those that bloom from spring until fall make a beautiful focal point. Shrubs are the “furniture” of the garden, a necessary element to any good landscape design. Evergreen shrubs (those that don’t lose their leaves in the winter) provide winter interest and they’re not just green anymore. Thanks to the breeding efforts of growers all over the world, you can now choose evergreen shrubs with colorful foliage. The "green beach balls" landscaping of the past is being replaced with exciting new varieties that provide color, texture and year-round interest. The photo above is a good example of a more modern design using color and texture for eye appeal. The shrubs that we stock here at the nursery grow very well in our zone 7 climate. We do not carry plants that aren’t suited for our weather or soil. Some varieties that we carry are seasonal due to market availability. Click on pictures below for descriptions of a sampling of our shrubs. Camellia japonica 'Tri-Color' Gulfstream Nandina Low maintenance shrub that turns fiery red-orange in winter 'Goshiki' Tea Olive A variegated Tea Olive shrub, best suited in shade to part sun. 'Goshiki' means Five Colors in Japanese, very fitting for this colorful shrub that changes from pink to creamy white with various shades of green mottled in. Butterfly Bush bloom This Tiger Swallowtail butterfly visits the many tiny tubular flowers that make up a butterfly bush bloom spike. Mt Airy Fothergilla This native shrub develops a kaleidoscope of colors ranging from gold to orange, maroon, scarlet red and purple. In April & May, white spikes of bottlebrush blooms smother the plant. UGA's professor of horticulture Michael Dirr says of this shrub "I can think of no other plant that gives so much yet asks for so little in return".

It is critical that the evergreen Rhododendrons be planted in loose soil that drains well. Carving out a hole in wet, sticky clay means death for Rhododendrons! A good technique is to till the area to loosen compacted clay, add organic matter, then leave about 1/3 of the root ball exposed above the existing soil line. Mound up good quality composted bark (like Nature’s Helper) around the root ball, creating a “raised bed” effect. Afternoon shade is a must in the South.
