The most common bushes, also called shrubs, found in gardens, yards, and landscapes include a variety of popular species used for hedges, privacy, flowers, and evergreen structure. Some of the most common are boxwood, a dense evergreen used for hedges and topiary. Azalea and rhododendron, flowering shrubs popular for spring color. Hydrangea, known for large flower clusters that change color with soil pH. Lilac, fragrant flowering shrub blooming in spring. Forsythia, early spring yellow flowering shrub. Holly, evergreen with spiny leaves and red berries. Juniper, evergreen coniferous shrub used for ground cover. Rose bushes, flowering shrubs with many varieties. Spirea, easy-care flowering shrub with pink or white blooms. Butterfly bush or buddleia, attracting pollinators with purple flowers. Barberry, thorny shrub with colorful foliage. Viburnum, versatile flowering shrub. Weigela, flowering shrub with trumpet flowers. Ninebark, shrub with interesting bark and foliage. These bushes are common because they are relatively low maintenance, adaptable to many climates, provide year-round interest, privacy, or flowers, and are widely available at nurseries. Commonness varies by region, for example sagebrush is common in western US wild landscapes.
