WINTER
9. Mahonia
Now it’s time to talk about the flowering shrubs that will add a pop of color to your garden in the cold months of winter, and we start with mahonia. This gorgeous plant is hardy and tough, and it has sublime evergreen holly-like leaves and dark purple berries.
One thing that makes it special is its long spikes of pretty yellow flowers that bloom late in the autumn, winter, and spring. These blooms have a wonderful scent, and they’re a great food source for early bees and pollinators.
If you get the Charity variety, it will bloom from late autumn to late winter. On the other hand, the Apollo variety will bloom in late winter and early spring, so your garden will also look top-notch.

Now everybody that thinks they can scam a few pennies out of me has an ad on my screen so that tells me how rude and selfish businesses are that I DO NOT want to do business with. I am so sick of all th ads.
There are no ads in this article about flowering shrubs.
Sorry Katherine, not only am I learning about shrubs here, but all about plastic surgery and toenail fungus. It adds so much to my day ha ha have a good one.
How do I order the ones that I want with time to plant and prices
Look the plant you are wanting ans and add plant for sale at the end. It will bring up lots of different options.
ALL these plants are for temperate moist climates in the Eastern United States. There should be an article about Western desert plants for temperate and subtropical desert areas.

Enjoyable article. It would be nice to include thrive zones within the article.
The Mexican Bird of Paradise is a lovely flowering shrub!
I want plants not seeds is that how it works?
Zones where these plants thrive would be helpful in the article.
Not only Zones but for each should included whether they thrive in sun or shade. Simple inclusions for any zone.
