5. Elder
If you’re looking for a simple and delicate flowering shrub, Elder might be exactly what your garden needs. Even though this is typically grown in hedgerows, there are tame garden variants with eye-catching leaves and fragrant white or pink blossoms that are used to make cordial.
One of my favorite varieties is Samcumbus Eva, which has lacy purple-black foliage and pink blooms that really stand out in the summer. I also love Black Beauty and I’m pretty sure you’ll like it too because its reddish-black leaves and dark pink flowers are stunning.

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.

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.
