A Low Effort, High Impact Secret to a Stunning Garden
A well-designed garden doesn’t just happen—it’s an intentional blend of color, texture, structure, and long-term growth planning. We backyard gardeners can learn from professional landscape designers who carefully choose shrubs to create year-round interest, define spaces, and provide natural beauty with minimal upkeep. But the secret to a low-maintenance, gorgeous landscape isn’t hiring a pro—it’s planting the right shrubs from the start.
That’s why we have a custom collection of Bloomin’ Easy Shrubs. A selection of low-maintenance, high-performing plants that thrive with minimal care. These shrubs give you the best of both worlds: professional-level beauty without the professional-level effort.
How the Pros Use Shrubs in Landscape Design
Professional gardeners and landscape designers use shrubs to create four essential elements in a well-balanced garden:
1. Structure & Definition
Shrubs serve as the framework for the garden, providing height, depth, and a sense of order. Low-growing varieties can define borders and walkways, while taller options act as focal points or privacy screens.
Bloomin’ Easy Picks: Try a medium-sized shrub to frame a flower bed or a larger variety for a garden centerpiece.
2. Multi-Season Interest
A garden should look good in every season. Landscape pros incorporate shrubs that offer long-lasting color, unique foliage, or extended bloom times to keep gardens visually appealing from spring through fall.
Bloomin’ Easy Picks: Choose reblooming varieties that provide color throughout the season without constant deadheading or maintenance.
3. Texture & Depth
Mixing different sizes and textures of shrubs creates a natural, layered look. Designers pair fine-textured plants with broad-leaved varieties to add depth and movement to the landscape.
Bloomin’ Easy Picks: Try combining different sizes for a professionally designed tiered effect.
4. Low-Maintenance Solutions
The best landscapes don’t require much work. Smart designers choose plants that are known for health, drought-tolerance, and easy maintenance, and you can too.
Bloomin’ Easy Picks: Because these shrubs are specifically bred for minimal pruning, watering, and upkeep, you can enjoy your garden with less upkeep.
3 Sizes for Your Garden
One of the biggest advantages of shopping Bloomin’ Easy Shrubs at WaysideGardens.com is the ability to choose from three different plant sizes. So, whether you're looking for an economical starter or a more fully-developed shrub, there’s an option for each need:
- Jumbo Pint – The most budget-friendly option, perfect for gardeners who enjoy watching plants grow and establish over time. These young shrubs are easy to transplant and adapt quickly to their new home.
- 1-Gallon – The best balance of size and value. This slightly larger shrub provides a noticeable presence in the first season while still being easy to plant and manage.
- 2-Gallon – The best option for instant impact. These developed shrubs fill out garden spaces quickly and reach maturity in just one to two growing seasons.
