In the Mid-Atlantic states we should hopefully have seen or soon will be seeing the last of the “winter” weather. I have included a few of the early spring shrubs to my landscape.
Rhododendrons and azaleas – Available in many colors and sizes. The soil needs to be well-drained and light shade is preferred.
Lilac – Has one of the most beautiful fragrances, light and sweet with purple flowers. Lilac’s prefer full sun.
Weigela – Have cute pink and white flowers and have a weeping willow effect.
Some other spring blooming shrubs are dwarf forthergilla, quince, forsythia, mountain laurel (something like a rhododendron. Remember when you are choosing your plants that you consider soil and light.
