The answer to 'types of shrub' is that there are many different varieties of shrubs that can be used in landscaping. Shrubs are woody, perennial plants that are generally smaller than trees and have multiple stems. Some common types of shrubs include evergreen shrubs like boxwood and holly, deciduous shrubs like azalea and hydrangea, and flowering shrubs like rose and lilac.
When choosing shrubs for your landscape, consider factors like the mature size, sun/shade requirements, and whether you want an evergreen or deciduous variety. Shrubs can be used for privacy screens, foundation plantings, borders, and more. Proper planting and care is important to ensure your shrubs thrive.
