A short gallery of shrubs that will let you know that Spring is on the way. These plants generally bloom as early as January and no later than March. These plants thrive in cooler temperatures - they will be unaffected by frost or a late snow.

Fashion Azalea - (azalea x fashion) zone 6-9 grows up to 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Makes a good privacy hedge. Needs water weekly, moreso in the heat of summer.
April Snow Camellia - (camellia japonica)  zone 5-9 grows in full sun to partial shade up to 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Very cold hearty - northernmost growing of the Camellia family.
