Viburnum to Weigelia

It comes as no surprise that our largest group of plants is the deciduous, ornamental shrub. They make great centerpieces to any garden. We grow hardy varieties that thrive in nearly any climate to make a garden full of life and interest nearly year-round.

Their amazing range of sizes, buds and blooms allows them to work with an endless number of other plants. On their own or arranged in landscape design, shrubs help establish a comfortable environment.

We are committed to bringing you the best plants for your area, whether they are new varieties or time-tested classics. Please see our current availability list or contact your account representative for more information on Van Belle deciduous shrubs. Look for the Proven Winners® logo next to our PW branded varieties.


We have divided the deciduous plants into subsections to make navigation easier.

Deciduous shrub subsections:

Acer to Buddleia  Caryopteris to Cornus  Cotinus to Hibiscus  Hydrangea  Itea to Physocarpus
Potentilla to Sorbaria  Spiraea to Syringa Viburnum to Weigelia
