Decorative beautiful plants in the countryside lift the mood and decorate the area. When planting flowers, you need to take time to care for them. When choosing wild evergreen shrubs, the situation is much simpler: you just need to select options that can withstand the climate in which they will grow, and then nature will do everything itself.

What types of shrubs are there?

Any plant can have several varieties, based on information from which gardeners can understand how to care for them. There are several criteria that determine the types of wild shrubs:

• Height. These can be low-growing (even dwarf) or tall wild shrubs, similar to trees.
• Leaves. There are both deciduous shrubs with traditional-looking leaves, and coniferous shrubs with modified ones.
• Bloom. Individual groups may produce fragrant flowers, berries, or even bear fruit.
• Flowering time. Among the wild shrubs you can find those that grow only in summer, while others delight the eye all year round. Some bloom in one season, while others can be called long-flowering.

Deciduous

In cities and beyond, it is more common to see plants with leaves. They can come in different shapes or sizes depending on the type of particular representative. Wild deciduous shrubs are amazing in their diversity: there are both flowering and fruit-bearing ones. Some of them are known to every person, while the names of others mean nothing. Among the deciduous ones we can distinguish:

• Barberry. The shrub has leaves with a pointed tip, small yellow flowers, and oblong berries.
• Kalina. The leaves look like maple.
• Cotoneaster. It resembles a small tree with oval glossy leaves.
• Lilac. Beautifully flowering, belongs to the evergreen shrubs.
• Magnolia. It is a large shrub. There are white, pink or even orange fragrant flowers.
• Daphne. A beautiful but poisonous plant.
• Euonymus. It consists of rounded leaves, but the flowers do not attract attention.
• Honeysuckle. The elliptical leaves are complemented by small fruits, which are edible in some varieties.
• Raspberries. A shrub with tasty berries has odd-pinnate leaves.
• Rose hip. Fragrant flowers in combination with berries and small leaves present a very beautiful shrub to the eye.

Conifers

If the plant does not have leaves, then most likely they are covered with needles. In fact, this is what modified leaves are called, but shrubs of this type are grouped under the class of conifers. Most of these representatives of the flora prefer to grow in the sun, but there are some that will like partial shade. Coniferous plants: shrubs and trees are unpretentious, therefore they are often used when decorating garden plots. Juniper, yew, and cryptomeria are more common among gardeners.

Shrubs for the garden

Landscaping your own personal plots has become fashionable a long time ago. The greenery in front of the house pleases the eye and adds color. Wild shrubs in the garden are an opportunity to decorate the area without spending much time on further care for them. You need to know their features, so when viewing photos on the pages of gardening catalogs, pay attention to the description. Beautiful shrubs for the garden can be, for example, flowering or fruit-bearing, and some require special conditions.

Blooming

Most gardeners prefer that the greenery on their site be diluted with other shades, so they choose options that will bloom. Before growing wild flowering shrubs, provide them with suitable conditions, or you can choose species that are unpretentious to weather changes. The list of shrubs that can bloom is wide: honeysuckle, lilac, and rose hips stand out.

Evergreens

Late autumn is a period of gradual fading of nature. For some people, a decrease in sunlight combined with a decrease in the number of shades outdoors causes depression. If you live in a private house or occasionally come to your dacha in winter, then evergreen shrubs will be a good way to decorate the area and admire plants all year round. You can plant them anywhere on the site or even make a hedge. This category includes raspberries, barberry, euonymus, cotoneaster, wolfberry, and magnolia.

Fruit

Fruit trees are often planted on a summer cottage not so much for beauty as for the opportunity to harvest their own harvest. Wild fruit bushes cope with both functions. Most of them, in addition to fruits or berries, have beautiful flowers. However, not every beautifully flowering fruit bush can produce an edible harvest. For example, it is better to simply admire the wolfberry, since all its parts are poisonous, but the berries of rosehip and barberry are not only possible, but must be eaten.

Wild shrubs: names with photos

Bushy plants are distributed almost throughout the planet. There are wild plants, as well as cultivated plants grown by the person who cares for them.

The flowers of the shrub with this name are small, collected in beautiful spherical large inflorescences of the “panicle” type. They are usually white in color, but blue, pink, lilac and red are also found.

The color directly depends on the pH value in the soil. Hydrangea is a shade-loving plant; direct sunlight adversely affects its growth: it slows down, and the flowers become small and inconspicuous.

Flowering shrubs can delight you with their blooms and aroma all season long. They are ideal for decorating your backyard.

Flowering shrubs are among the most whimsical forms. In order for flowering to be abundant and long, it is important to provide the described plants with the correct feeding, otherwise you may not get buds at all.

So, in spring, any plants, including bushes, require nitrogen. This will allow them to build up the necessary vegetative mass. But in subsequent feedings it is important to add a small amount of this element. Starting from the second half of summer, it is generally not recommended to apply nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

To get large, beautiful buds, you need to feed the shrubs with potassium and phosphorus. You can use mineral supplements in the form of superphosphates and potassium sulfate, or prepare an ash solution. Additionally, we recommend watering flowering bushes with a solution of boric acid.

Fruit and berry bush plants

Many of these varieties are very common in our country. Their fruits and berries are very tasty and healthy; they are used to make compotes, jams, jellies and other preparations for the winter.
