Why Burning Bush, Witch Hazel, and Elderberry are Vital Components of Your Landscape

When it comes to landscaping, it isn’t about a pretty picture; it’s about having an integrated landscape that is attractive, useful, and sustainable. Burning Bush, Witch Hazel, and Elderberry plants can turn your garden into a living, breathing exhibition. These diverse plants add character to your yard while enriching your ecosystem. With TN Nursery, you can get these fantastic plants delivered straight to your front door.

The Striking Burning Bush

The Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) also presents a glitzy display in the fall. Famed for its fiery red leaves, it is a showstopper with a punch of color that catches attention and warms the heart in the fall. It grows extremely thick and is, therefore, perfect as a hedge plant or as a singular accent. The Burning Bush is not only beautiful but also incredibly hardy, tolerates most soil types, and needs little attention.

Burning Bushes do not need to be pretty to make your landscape beautiful: you can use them to offer bird and smaller wildlife shelters. The red fall berries also provide a natural animal feast, making your garden an inviting place all year round. Visit TN Nursery’s website to see Burning Bush in action for a beautiful yard plant.

The Multifunctional Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is another wonder, a plant that flowers in winter to lift spirits in the darkest times. Its golden ribbony flowers have a sweet fragrance, and they are a sensory delight in a winter garden that has everything else asleep. Witch Hazel is also a veritable powerhouse that handles various dirt types and sun exposure, and it’s a good understory shrub.

Witch Hazel has been a medicinal plant that has gone beyond its cosmetic uses for many years. Its extract is typically used in skin care products because it is antiseptic, and it is both an aesthetic and a practical one. It feeds pollinators such as bees when food is low, increasing your ecosystem. Visit TN Nursery for Witch Hazel and decorate your garden in winter cheer.

The Versatile Elderberry

The functional and environmental superstar of Elderberry is Sambucus nigra. The shrub has clumps of milky white blooms in the spring and purple fruits in late summer. Its berries are also immune boosting and are used as syrups, teas, and jams. Elderberry is a garden culinary and visual monster.

Elderberries attract birds, bees, and butterflies if you're a nature enthusiast. Their thick growth also makes for excellent bird nesting cover and should be a staple of any habitat for wildlife. Also, they are fast-growing and can be grown in various weather conditions, so they will be very productive in the garden.
