Outdoor Plants

Live Outdoor Plants for Landscaping & Garden Beds

Outdoor Plants is our broadest landscaping collection, bringing together flowering shrubs, evergreen shrubs, and perennials in one place — the full range of non-tree plants built specifically for life outside in the ground or in larger outdoor containers. If you're working on a garden bed, a border, or a full landscape redesign and want to browse across plant types rather than committing to one category first, this is the collection to start with.

Flowering Shrubs for Seasonal Color

This collection's flowering shrub selection is extensive, spanning roses like the Popcorn Drift® Rose and Pink Double Knock Out® Rose, a wide range of camellias including the Greensboro Red Camellia and Dream Weaver Camellia, and rhododendrons like the Roseum Pink Rhododendron. These shrubs provide the seasonal bloom color that makes a landscape feel alive and changing rather than static.

Evergreen Shrubs for Year-Round Structure

Balancing out the seasonal bloomers, this collection's evergreen shrub selection provides the structural backbone that holds a landscape together in every season. Boxwood varieties like the Wintergreen Boxwood and Green Mountain Topiary Boxwood (Ball), laurel varieties like the Volcano Cherry Laurel, and specialty shrubs like the Fragrant Tea Olive Tree and Sunshine Ligustrum all stay green and structured year-round, framing the more seasonal plants around them.

Perennials for Foundation Planting

Rounding out the collection, our perennial selection includes shade-tolerant foliage like the Japanese Painted Fern and Francee Hosta, sun-loving bloomers like the Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan and Mary Ann Lantana, and textural fillers like the Foxtail Fern and ornamental grasses. Perennials return on their own each year, building a fuller, more established garden bed over time without needing to be replanted.

Building a Layered Landscape

The real value in browsing Outdoor Plants as a single collection is being able to layer plant types intentionally. A well-designed bed typically combines all three: evergreen shrubs for structure and winter presence, flowering shrubs for seasonal color and impact, and perennials filling in around the edges with foliage texture and additional bloom color at different times of year. Shopping these together, rather than one category at a time, makes it easier to plan how they'll actually work as a combined planting rather than three disconnected purchases.

Matching Plants to Your Conditions

With this much variety in one collection, growing zone and sunlight requirements are the most useful filters for narrowing things down. Sun-loving plants like roses, most camellias' brighter cousins, and black-eyed Susans need full sun to perform well, while shade-tolerant options like Japanese painted ferns and certain camellia varieties open up planting possibilities for the shadier parts of a yard that full-sun plants simply can't handle.

A Collection for Real Landscape Planning

Whether you're filling in a single garden bed or planning a full yard redesign, Outdoor Plants gives you the range to mix bloom timing, foliage texture, and year-round structure in one browsing session, rather than working through flowering shrubs, evergreen shrubs, and perennials as three separate, disconnected decisions.
