I would love to know some types of small evergreen flowering shrubs. I have tried dwarf Gardenias and love them but they grew up to 5'. I would like to know about some that are 2-3'. I love variety so as many types as anybody knows would be great! Thanks!

I love the Oakleaf hydrangea, but unfortunately I'm in a climate where it dies back in the winter. If you're lucky enough to have a better climate, this could work.

Thank you 'themoonhowl'. I have seen these at my local nursery but there wasn't anybody who had knowledge of them. Got advice and found another nursery that everyone knows about plants for my area and these are some of the best! Ordered them already.

Thank you Allison. I live south of Birmingham, AL. We have crazy weather here. Most of the time we never need coats for winter. But sometimes it gets crazy here and it will be a hard freeze for a week then dump 13" of snow on us. So here too there is a good chance it will die back. Gotta have my green for the winter!

In your zone Sunni you cam pretty much have blooming shrubs 10 months or more of the year. If you have some shade there are some small camellias also. Glad you found what you needed. You are very welcome
