During the colder autumn and winter months, flowering plants tend to have, well... exhaled their last puff of color. To liven up the settings, think about flowering shrubs and incorporate texture. The Waxleaf Ligustrum (pictured on the left) shrub is a durable plant. It is a plant that grows to fit where you want it. A small shrub under a window, or a large wind breaker, shrubs can do it all. Create shapes with informal styles or regular box shapes that reflect tradition and formal settings.
To show the versatility of shrubs there is Indian Hawthorn (pictured on the right). Over the growing season this plant also provides barrier protection, but develops berries (also call fruit) and has small flowers of various accent colors.
