A shrub (often also called a bush) is a small-to-medium-sized perennial woody plant. Unlike herbaceous plants, shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Shrubs can be either deciduous or evergreen. They are distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorter height, less than 6–10 m (20–33 ft) tall.

Winter doesn't mean your garden has to appear bare, brown, and depressing. Plenty of winter flowers bloom during the darkest, coldest times of the year, just when you need color the most!

Snowdrops and winterberry are obvious choices—they have those names for a reason, after all. Surprising plants like ornamental kale can bring unexpected color and lovely texture to your winter garden. And some varieties of fragrant flowers like camellias and shrubs like witch hazel bloom in the middle of winter.

In fact, experts believe that hybrids are more nutritious than the originals. Therefore, you are likely to get a higher concentration of nutrients if you choose to go hybrid.

This means they are both hardy and typically repeat flower, producing large, shapely flowers that open from high-centred buds on long, straight stems.

Composting is a controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition. The end product is compost – a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling material.
