Question

I have an agapanthus by my front steps that I want to replace with a flowering, evergreen shrub. A spring/summer flowering shrub would be great. I considered hydrangea (i have one in nearly the same spot that does great), but I would prefer evergreen. It gets some afternoon sun. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Answer

I suspect that you may want something in the same size range as the Agapanthus. All these are evergreen: Camellia sasanqua (white, rose or red flowers in late summer/fall), Southern indica Azalea (white, pink, lavender, orange or red flowers in spring), Polygala Petite Butterflies (2 tone purple flowers in spring/summer), Bush Lantana (red, yellow, pink or orange flowers in summer/fall), or perhaps a Marguerite Daisy (red, white, pink or yellow flowers spring/summer).
