Landscaped bed destroyed by the winter....have a chance
to redo alot of the bed. So, I would like smallish flowering shrubs that like sun...lots of sun. Prefer no thorns since I have little ones.
Ideas???
Currently there are Juniper bushes there that are smashed flat by 3 feet of snow this winter...lol, I hated them anyway.
Re: Landscaped bed destroyed by the winter....have a chance
What zone?
Knock-out roses bloom, but they have thorns. What about weigela? I can't think of any other flowering shrubs for full sun that are maintainable. Hydrangeas, azaleas, rhodos need part shade; virburnum and forsythia are beautiful but too big; crepe myrtle shrubs aren't that cold hardy (winters in 7b will kill them back to the ground, even though they're supposed to be fine).
Remember that shrubs flower only a month or two out of the year - you have to think about what it's going to look like for the rest of the year. If this is a prominent bed, you may not want a deciduous shrub. Indian hawthorne and Otto Luyken laurel are both evergreens that flower in spring.
