The Shrubs Deck features 60 staple shrubs widely used in professional landscape design, residential gardens, and horticulture education. Each oversized flashcard includes detailed photos of the leaves, form, blooms, fruit, and branching structure, giving you a complete visual reference for accurate shrub identification in the field.
Designed for landscape designers, horticulture students, arborists, nursery employees, and plant lovers, these shrub ID flashcards help build confident recognition skills through repetition, clear visuals, and key identification features.
Each card highlights the Latin name, common name, growth habit, sun and water preferences, USDA Plant Zone range, mature size, and a memorable fun fact. Photos are carefully selected to emphasize distinguishing traits, making the deck valuable both as a training tool and as a quick-reference companion in real-world landscape work.
This deck is formulated primarily for USDA Zones 7–8 (East Coast) and Zones 7–9 (West Coast), covering species common in both residential and commercial design. Inside you’ll find flowering shrubs, evergreen structure plants, textural foliage shrubs, and reliable backbone species that appear frequently in professional landscape plans.
Whether you are preparing for a plant identification exam, building a stronger plant palette, or providing training resources for your landscape team, the Shrubs Deck offers a practical and visually intuitive way to master a wide range of classic shrub species.
