My Favorite Bush is Butterfly Bush
- My favorite bush is the butterfly bush. I can grow them from seed making adding more very affordable, they flower all year and attract a lot of butterflies to my garden.

Best Bushes to Grow
- I have three viburnums I love, one v. carlesii with deliciously scented early, waxy white flowers, and a taller one with corrugated leaves. I don't remember its name. The leaves are very handsome and turn burgundy in fall. The flowers aren't fragrant but the berries are held on with red stems that are colorful. The third is v. opulus aurea with sunny yellow foliage with a rosy tint in spring. Bush lilacs are great, smoke bush, clethra- fragrant chains of white or pink flowers in August. The dwarf conifers with multi color needles are beautiful.I could go on!

Fruiting Bushes Best Ones to Grow
- Fruit bearing ones of course, whether it is human or bird food. Examples abound like blueberries, gooseberries, flowering currents, flowering quince, purple beautyberry bush, chilean guava, etc. We have or will by spring have all of these.

Clethra Ruby Spice
- Planted it in Nov '07, and this summer it bloomed for 1st time. Very sweet smelling flowers! I plan on planting more and different varieties.

Favorite Bushes to Grow
- The small Fothergilla, Nana I believe. It gets about 4 ft tall and wide and has great blooms in the spring and colorful leaves in the fall plus a nice tidy shape all year. Also love the variegated weigela with its pretty pink flowers that grow in a cascading manner.

Variegated Bushes Tops on My List
- I'm partial to the bushes with variegated leaves, myself. If I had to pick one, it's hard to go wrong with variegated dogwood (Cornus alba 'Elegantissima'), since you get the nice leaves during the warm months and then the crimson twigs in winter. But I also like the variegated weigela and Emerald Gaiety euonymus.
