Landscaping with the best small bushes to plant for your yard? Small and bushy bushes are great landscaping additions for any yard. Bushy bushes will add character to a yard and provide protection from deer and pests. You can choose between short-lived shrub plants and those that grow quickly and bear fruit. Some of the most popular plants to use in landscaping are ficus, azalea, boxwood, hollyhock, and ruffly Valerian.

Shrubs are the perfect plants to use for border planting or for full coverage. Tall flowering shrubs should be used along a walkway, patio, or other landscaping area. Shrubs provide privacy and year-round greenery for garden areas. If you are looking for plants that are easy to care for, consider perennials like California poppy, rubella, blue star grass, and desert sunflower. Perennial plants are a great way to extend the season in your garden and keep your plants healthy.

Pines, Cypress trees and Cherry Trees make beautiful additions to your garden and are a great place to start when planning your landscaping design. Pines and Cypress trees can be planted to block sunlight during the hot summer months, or they can be planted as an accent tree. For picea abies, you can plant it in the late winter to rejuvenate the root system and bring forth the bright green foliage of the spring blooming flowers.

Shrubs are not the only plants you need to consider for foundation plantings. Do not forget to consider grasses and ground covers, such as Field Mustard, Pothos, Sedum Autumn Joy, and Spider Catnip. All of these plants grow quickly and need minimal maintenance, if any at all. If you live in an area where there is enough moisture in the air to occasionally flood a small garden area, consider a few different species of grasses and ground covers. For example, if you are looking for a low maintenance lawn grass, a Sedum Autumn Joy will be a great choice.

If you are looking for shrub plants that bloom for a long time, consider California Pines, Junipers, and Sumacs. These plants will stay in bloom year-round and will even bloom longer in some of the cooler months. You should also consider planting shrub flowers such as California Poppies, Calla Lilies, and Red Obake. These flowers will bloom during most seasons; in the cooler months they will bloom shorter, and in the warm months they will bloom much taller.

One of the easiest plants to care for, and one of the prettiest, are the Foundation Plant, Picea Abies. This hardy perennial will grow in any shade and almost any soil type. It is native to East Africa and can survive temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Picea abies grows in two basic forms, one with an upright stem and the other with a spreading stem.

Another easy plant to care for, and one that is considered attractive in your garden, are the Thuja Occidentalis. This hardy evergreen has gray-green leaves and can be found in deciduous trees. The foliage will drop off when the tree flowers, and then new foliage will grow in its place. A beautiful foliage feature, the Thuja Occidentalis is native to Central America and is now grown as a landscape plant. One of the best things about this evergreen is that it is easy to grow; coniferous shrub or landscape plant in any climate. In the southern U.S., it blooms in late summer through early autumn and ranges from medium height to four feet tall.

In addition to the plants we’ve discussed, there are many other interesting plants you may want to grow, such as the inkberry foundation plants we mentioned earlier, cedar bark, juniper branches, the California poppy and the yellow box tree. You may also want to consider planting some of the flowers we’ve mentioned here, such as the peony, the phlox and the lady’s lace. The list of plants and flowers you can grow with an inkberry planter is only limited by your imagination. The plants you chose to use in your design can be anywhere from bushy to short, growing up to three feet tall. With so many choices available, you’re sure to find a plant or flowers that suits your needs.
