1. Forsythia, an easy flowering shrub
With its spectacular flowering of yellow bouquets appearing on the bare branches before the leaves, the forsythia offers a spectacle that is worth its weight in gold from the start of spring. A hardy and easy-to-maintain flowering shrub, it flourishes in most gardens, but beware, it can occupy nearly three meters of wingspan!

It comes in many varieties, deciduous or evergreen, from less than one meter in height to almost eight. We plant it solo or we even make hedges, it adapts to several different climates and to top it off, the Céanothe is one of the rare shrubs with blue flowers, resplendent without complexes in fragrant clusters from the start of spring.
3. The hydrangea, a generous flowering shrub
The hydrangea or hydrangea is undoubtedly one of the most popular flowering shrubs among gardeners. Rustic, hardy, and easy to maintain, it can be planted in pots, hedges, or beds and comes in an infinite number of varieties, from white to blue, including the full range of pinks and reds. As for its large bouquets of small flowers, they are as beautiful in the garden as in a vase!
4. The Mexican orange tree, a fragrant flowering shrub
If everyone adores the Mexican orange tree or Choisya ternata, it is largely for its irresistible fragrance which perfumes the garden in the spring and then at the end of the summer. To top it all off, this fragrant flowering shrub displays beautiful shiny foliage and pretty bouquets of small white flowers, while being just as easy to plant in the ground as it is in a pot!
5. Service berry, a changing flowering shrub
With its small star-shaped white flowers and its foliage of changing hues, the service berry is a flowering shrub … but not only. Large shrub or small tree blooms in spring in a white cloud gives delicious fruity berries popular with North Americans in summer and changes leaf colors with the seasons, from green to purple in a blaze worthy of Canadian forests. Who says better?
6. Lilac, a fragrant flowering shrub
Other essential flowering shrubs, are the famous lilacs, or Syringe. These small trees with pyramidal clusters of violet, mauve, or white flowers herald the arrival of fine weather with a bloom that is as generous as it is fragrant, which delights all enthusiasts. His only requirement? A good pruning after flowering to do even better the following year.
7. Oleander, a Mediterranean flowering shrub
In the family of Mediterranean flowering shrubs, the oleander is one of those that call for a veranda in winter, unless you live in the south… and the warmer the climate, the closer the shrub can get to the small tree. In the absence of a suitable climate, it is therefore rather grown in pots to be moved over the seasons to take advantage of its pink flowers when summer comes!
8. Viburnum, a shrub with ball flowers
It's called snowball viburnum not for its bloom date, but because this beautiful flowering shrub becomes covered in white balls in late spring. And just to maximize the effects, its foliage even changes color in the fall, going from classic green to deep burgundy to give style to this beautiful round bush.
9. The buddleia, the flowering, and the butterfly shrub
The buddleia, or Buddleia davidii, is a summer flowering shrub with a double nickname: it is called both the summer lilac for its spectacular flowering in conical clusters of purple, white, or pink, but also, and above all, the butterfly tree… Since if its sweet and heady fragrance enchants us, it is irresistible for the butterflies which rush to it throughout the flowering period!
10. Althea, an elegant flowering shrub
From July to September, the Althea or Hibiscus syriacus displays its largely white, blue, mauve, or pink corollas. In addition to its bucolic elegance, this large flowering shrub has the advantage of being very hardy, therefore particularly easy to grow: plant it and forget it, even without pruning, it flourishes every summer.
11. Mock orange, a fragrant flowering shrub
It is white, it is generous, and it smells divinely good: the mock orange or Philadelphia, sometimes nicknamed jasmine by the poets, is one of those shrubs with essential fragrant flowers. Especially since it is not too difficult for the quality of the soil, or for the climate. The thing to know? It exists in a single or double-flowered variant, and those with single flowers are even more fragrant!
12. Chinese almond tree, an early flowering shrub
Like its cousin, the Japanese cherry tree, the Prunus triloba or Chinese almond tree explodes pink from the first days of spring, or even at the end of a mild winter. This shrub with small pink flowers blooms in pink pompoms, and when the flowers disappear, pretty green leaves take over... in hedges, beds, bushes, or small trees, depending on size and planting!
13. Weigela, a bushy flowering shrub
Its drooping branches give it a beautiful rounded shape, punctuated with pink, red, or white as soon as it flowers in May. And if the weigela is such a popular flowering shrub, it is because it is very hardy, resistant, and easy to maintain... with a tendency to spread up to two meters all around, it is better to provide it with some l 'space!
14. Cinquefoil, a simple and generous flowering shrub
The shrubby cinquefoil blooms from May on this wild rose-like flowering shrub, and continues without interruption until the end of summer, or even until the beginning of autumn if the weather is mild. Enough to offer a nice dose of natural charm to the garden, in pink, red, yellow, orange, or white depending on the variety.
