What Makes TN Nursery's Zone 7 Shrubs a Top Choice?

Zone 7 weather can shift quickly, with warm spells followed by cold snaps. Our shrub varieties are selected specifically to handle these transitions-plants that root strongly, leaf out reliably, and resist damage from fluctuating temperatures. TN Nursery grows field-hardened, bare-root shrubs that adapt naturally when planted in their new environment. Building a privacy fence, softening the landscape around your home, or looking for shrubs that flower in many seasons? Our Zone 7 collection is just right for this temperate climate.

How Zone 7 Shrubs Improve Landscapes Year After Year

Shrubs play an essential role in creating structure, wildlife habitat, and seasonal interest.

Many of our recommended shrubs support pollinators, feed birds, or provide evergreen color even in winter. TN Nursery prioritizes species that adapt well to both suburban and rural soil conditions-from clay-dense yards to rich woodland soils-ensuring success for a wide range of gardeners.
