Accent Shrubs

Do you need a single, spectacular plant to grab attention? Look no further than our curated collection of drop-dead gorgeous accent shrubs!

Some shrub varieties are colorful, while others create interest because of their unusual texture or atypical shape. Place one in a container on either side of an entranceway, or plant them along borders that need some spicing up — they work in any space that could use a little lift. With dozens of shrubs to choose from, we are confident that you will find varieties to amp up every space in your yard.

What Are Accent Shrubs?

Accent plants have at least one remarkable stand-out feature, such as eye-catching foliage. They are often used to draw attention to particular sections of a landscape or setting. They create emphasis on their own or when grouped together, such as a mass display of colorful hydrangeas in full bloom.

Shrubs create a reliable, low-maintenance, all-season backdrop in most yards and are often used to create hedges or borders. Accent shrubs are not content to fade into the background and add loads of dramatic sparkle with abundant blooms, interesting texture or delightful colors.

How to Use Feature Shrubs in Your Yard

Accent plants are used to create interest and emphasis in spaces that need a lift. Shrubs excel as accent plants because they are hardy and, if planted in the right position, don’t require much maintenance.

Here are some ideas of where you can use unique shrubs to show off their best features:

  • In containers: Place feature shrubs, like Fire Chief™ Arborvitae, in containers on either side of your entranceway.
  • Along borders: Add a striking display of evergreen specimen plants along your driveway. Evergreen boxwood varieties are ideally suited to this function.
  • As feature plants in flower beds: As summer fades, flower beds can start looking a little dull. Not so if you have a bright shrub attracting attention. The fiery red new growth of Japanese Mountain Fire Andromeda or the multicolored foliage of Kaleidoscope Abelia are showstoppers that stand out in any setting.
