Answer 1

You may want a broadleaf evergreen that flowers such as Indian hawthorn, glossy abelia, or azalea. If you don't mind a deciduous shrub, you can't beat a hydrangea. There are so many sizes and varieties nowadays that it is easy to find one for your own garden. I would stick with the ones that bloom on new growth, they are the easiest because their buds won't be killed in a late freeze. Those include the panicle hydrangeas and they have lots of small bloomers now like pinky winky, bobo, and little lamb.
