Flowers and Color from April to October in Part Shade.
Flowering shrubs add lots of color with blooms, berries and fall hues. If you want to add layers to your garden, the middle layer between perennials and trees, might as well add beauty! Here are suggestions by month for blooming native shrubs in part shade. Your bloom time and duration of bloom may differ based on light and moisture conditions as well as geography. The staying power of berries on shrubs in fall is different every year in our garden depending on what the birds are doing. Please use this as a rough guide!
