Suggestion for some nice flowering bushes?

Question

I live in NC and we want to plant some white flowering bushes out in front of our house. I'm not crazy about Azeala's but I don't know much about gardening. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Lilac,(Syringa)

                     Butterfly bush(Buddleia,)

Iceberg floribunda roses,

Mexican orange Blossom(Choisya)

Camellias

Hydrangeas (Select white variety in bloom)

Viburnum Opulus.Any or all of the above would succeed,they vary in height and spread and a combination would give a long season.

Answer 2

For most of NC, good choices are lilacs, hydrangeas, butterfly bush (buddleia), abelia, camellia, gardenia,  rose of sharon, and many, more.
