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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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