Hey garden enthusiasts, Ken Lain the Top 10 Gardener here. Want to add some wow-factor to your yard?

Shrubs are the backbone of any great landscape, bringing color, texture, and structure to your outdoor space. While I could talk about ALL 17 of my favorites, here are 7 show stopping shrubs that truly shine in the Central Highlands:

• Barberry: Versatile, colorful, and loves our sunny, dry conditions.
• Rose of Sharon: Enjoy the tropical beauty of hibiscus with this cold-hardy variety.
• Bluebeard: A low-maintenance butterfly magnet with beautiful blue flowers.
• Butterfly Bush: Attract pollinators with vibrant blooms and dwarf varieties for smaller spaces.
• Deer Grass: A native ornamental grass that adds texture and resists deer browsing.
• Ice Angel Camellia: A cold-hardy camellia with stunning winter blooms.
• Guilted Edge Silverberry: A fragrant native with silvery-blue foliage and a touch of gold.

Tune in the see the rest of the list.

These shrubs are all winners in my book, and they'll bring you years of enjoyment in your mountain garden. Happy planting!
