These trees produce lovely foliage with clusters of white flowers in spring, bright red fruits and reddish leaf color in fall. Native Shrubs Serviceberry ( Amelanchier canadensis). The first shrub to flower in the spring, this rose relative has wonderful white flowers followed by edible, deep purple fruit in late summer. Red Osier dogwood (Cornus sericea). If you’re looking for good winter colour, consider this shrub with deep red the twigs and stems. These shrubs are commonly seen along roadsides in thickets. Native roses ( Rosa virginiana, Rosa carolina). Our native roses are lovely and hardy, very fragrant and produce large beautiful hips after flowering. R. virginiana’s leaves turn red-purple in fall.

Bunchberry is a great groundcover in woodland gardens, the low growing plant has white flowers in spring and orange, bland but edible berries in fall. Clintonia, Bluebead Lily ( Clintonia borealis).
