Woody Plants

Woody Plants for Diverse Landscapes

Woodlanders offers a broad selection of woody plants that include native shrubs, flowering trees, and rare ornamental species. These plants add structure to gardens and remain present across seasons. Our woody collection features Ilex species, Camellia shrubs, and various Viburnum varieties known for their resilience and seasonal interest.

Rare and Native Woody Species

We focus on both rare woody plants and native woody plants suited for southeastern gardens and beyond. Many species in this collection also appear in our Southeast Natives section, providing continuity between categories for regional planting.

Shrubs and Trees with Seasonal Value

This group includes flowering trees, hardwood shrubs, and Clethra shrubs known for summer blooms and pollinator support. Some varieties offer bright foliage or fruit displays. Gardeners who enjoy vibrant garden color may also view Fiery Blooms, which pairs well with many woody selections.

Sun, Shade, and Companion Plants

Many woody plants adapt well to sun, partial shade, or mixed light conditions. You can find companion plants for these in our Sun Lovers or Herbaceous Perennials collections, offering foliage contrast or bloom timing coordination.

Regional and Specialty Growth Needs

Species like Hydrangea plants and Camellia shrubs thrive in moist, well-drained soil. If your landscape leans tropical, consider browsing our Sub-Tropicals collection for compatible options. For those adding edible value to their garden, we also offer a wide range of plants in the Edibles section.

Designing with Form and Texture

Woody plants offer lasting form in any garden design. Their structure complements lower-growing groups like our Bulbs and Tubers, while taller selections create vertical interest alongside our Vines.

Support for Naturalized Planting

This collection reflects our commitment to hardy, purposeful planting. For layered garden design or native habitat creation, pair selections with species from our Grasses and Bamboos category.
