Can you recommend shrubs for sunny dry space?
need a shrub with lots of color in spring and summer for west facing wall of house beside pavement.
Answer
Pieris and viburnums would be good shrubs to consider. How much space do you have? These shrubs can be pruned and kept in shape. You might also consider the hollies. There are many varieties, many of them are evergreen. But for berry production and color, you will need to plant both a male and a female variety to ensure pollination. Mahonia is another shrub that might be possible; it is also an evergreen, with spiny foliage. Check the acid levels in the soil which are necessary for these plants. Check them out at a good garden center which will have some plants there for you to see.
