The three outstanding native shrubs in our Bird Watcher Native Shrub Collection provide a symphony of beauty throughout the year, and they welcome songbirds to your landscape by offering food and shelter. Each of these exceptional varieties of vigorous, adaptable shrubs brings a different season of color to your landscape. Bright and fragrant flowers will attract pollinators. Birds will find food in the form of bountiful berries and beneficial bugs. These young shrubs will mature to give the garden structure and privacy after the first few years. Enhance your landscape design or plant around your home to add visual interest in all four seasons. Enjoy watching and listening to seasonal songbirds visiting these easy-care shrubs.

"These shrubs come small, just like they say. However, they will take off once they settle in. I received mine in the fall and got them in the ground. I didn't have time to clear the grass and weeds much from the area like I wanted to, and was so nervous I might accidentally mow them. So yes, they are small on arrival. But this spring they have taken off and are absolutely thriving! Personally, I am sold on the concept of smaller plants establishing quicker. No, they don't look like much at first, but a little patience will pay off and they will take hold and catch up in no time! They are quick and easy to plant, and much more budget friendly. The flowers on the chokeberry are precious. The sweetspire is blooming despite being fairly small. What was barely noticable in late winter is now 8-12" high (except for the chokeberry- but to be expected for a dwarf version) in late May. I can't wait to see them continue to grow!"

"I was excited for these shrubs to plant in the yard of our new house to attract wildlife. Unfortunately 0/3 survived the winter."
