Summer Flowering Shrubs Keep the Show Going

Flowering Shrubs for Pollinators and Wildlife

Create a backyard habitat that supports local wildlife. Weigela varieties produce tubular blooms in white, pink, and deep red that hummingbirds can't resist. These low maintenance shrubs bloom heavily in late spring and often rebloom in summer.

Late-summer Bluebeard offers nectar-rich blue flowers when pollinators need it most. Pair with long-blooming Potentilla for months of cheerful yellow, white, pink, or orange blooms.

Native options like fragrant Buttonbush support local ecology while adding unique spherical blooms to your landscape. Viburnum varieties offer spring flower clusters followed by colorful berries that feed songbirds through fall and winter.

Don't overlook California Lilac, fast-growing Elderberry, and sweetly scented Aphrodite Sweetshrub. Whether you need flowering shrubs for full sun or shade-tolerant varieties, you'll find exceptional choices at Nature Hills.

Purple lilac blooms in full flower with green foliage

Hydrangeas: America's Favorite Flowering Shrub

Hydrangeas have expanded far beyond their Southern roots. Modern cold-hardy varieties now thrive in Zones 3-9, delivering spectacular blooms from early summer through fall. Choose from panicle types that bloom on new wood, reblooming mopheads, or elegant oakleaf varieties for shade.

Oakleaf Hydrangeas excel in naturalized shade gardens with bold foliage and cone-shaped blooms. For vibrant color, try Grateful Red Hydrangea in mixed perennial beds where its burgundy blooms create dramatic contrast.

Large-scale gardens benefit from substantial varieties like Phantom Hydrangea, which reaches 6-8 feet with massive flower heads. For smaller spaces, compact Tuff Stuff Mountain Hydrangea blooms on both old and new wood, guaranteeing flowers every year even after harsh winters.

Spirea: Classic Beauty, Easy Care

Infographic showing fan favorite flowering bush varieties including Hydrangea, Spirea, Weigela, Lilac, and Rose of Sharon

Low maintenance Spirea creates romantic garden moments with cascading branches covered in white or pink blooms from late spring into summer. These deer resistant shrubs tolerate a wide range of conditions and require minimal pruning.

The elegant Renaissance Bridal Veil Spirea displays graceful white flower clusters along arched branches. Plant several as a flowering hedge or use them to frame pathways. Compact varieties fit beautifully in container gardens and mixed borders.

Rose of Sharon: Dependable Late Summer Color

When other flowering shrubs finish their show, Rose of Sharon takes center stage. These tough, upright shrubs bloom from mid-summer through early fall in shades of white, pink, lavender, purple, and rose. Drought tolerant once established and pollution resistant, they're ideal for urban gardens.

Use Rose of Sharon to create natural privacy screens along property lines or as flowering walls that define outdoor rooms. Their late bloom time fills a seasonal gap when gardens often look tired.

Tips for Success with Flowering Shrubs

Start by observing your property's sun exposure throughout the day. Most flowering shrubs prefer at least 6 hours of sun, though many varieties tolerate partial shade.

Read Our Complete Planting Guide >>

Order anytime. We'll ship your flowering shrubs at the optimal planting time for your zone. Track your shipment via email, open boxes promptly, and water plants thoroughly.

Dig smart. Make holes twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. Plant at the same depth the shrub was growing in its container. For best results, mix Nature Hills Root Booster into your planting hole to support healthy root development.

Master the Art of Watering New Plants >>

Mulch matters. Apply 2-3 inches of mulch over the root zone, keeping it pulled back from stems to prevent rot.

Prune with purpose. Check the Plant Highlights section on each product page for variety-specific pruning guidance. Timing matters for flowering shrubs.

Learn Essential Pruning Techniques >>

Feed thoughtfully. Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Keep lawn fertilizers away from ornamental plantings, as they promote foliage over flowers.

FAQ's for Buying Flowering Shrubs Online

What are the easiest flowering shrubs to grow?

Low maintenance flowering shrubs like Spirea, Weigela, and Potentilla top the list for beginner gardeners. These varieties tolerate various soil conditions, bounce back from pruning mistakes, and bloom reliably year after year. For even easier care, try reblooming varieties like Knock Out Roses or panicle Hydrangeas that flower on new wood, so you don't have to worry about pruning timing. Most flowering shrubs need 6+ hours of sun and regular water the first season, then they're remarkably self-sufficient.

What flowering shrubs bloom the longest?

Reblooming varieties deliver the most extended flower show. Butterfly Bush blooms from summer through fall, often for 3-4 months straight. Reblooming Azaleas like the Encore series flower in spring and again in late summer. Panicle Hydrangeas (like Limelight and Strawberry Sundae) bloom from mid-summer into fall, with flowers that dry beautifully on the plant. For continuous color, plant a mix of early bloomers (Forsythia, Lilac), summer stars (Hydrangea, Weigela), and late-season performers (Rose of Sharon, Bluebeard).

When should I plant flowering shrubs?

Pollinator-friendly shrubs like Butterfly Bush, Weigela, Bluebeard, Potentilla, and Viburnum attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Native options such as Elderberry and Buttonbush support local wildlife and offer edible or ornamental fruit that birds love.

What flowering shrubs are deer resistant?

Deer typically avoid fragrant, fuzzy, or textured foliage. Top deer-resistant choices include Butterfly Bush (Buddleia), Boxwood, Lilac, Spirea, and Potentilla. Weigela and Viburnum also show good resistance in most areas. Keep in mind that no plant is 100% deer-proof when deer populations are high or food is scarce. Combining deer-resistant flowering shrubs with strategic placement near the house and applying deer repellent during establishment gives you the best results.

What flowering shrubs grow well in shade?

Several beautiful flowering shrubs thrive in partial to full shade. Oakleaf Hydrangea tops the list with bold foliage and elegant white blooms. Azaleas and Rhododendrons are shade garden classics, offering spectacular spring color. Virginia Sweetspire blooms in sun or shade with fragrant white flowers. Fothergilla provides spring blooms plus brilliant fall color in woodland settings. For best flowering in shade, choose spots with morning sun or dappled light, and ensure soil drains well. Even shade-lovers bloom more abundantly with 3-4 hours of sun daily.
