The document summarizes information about several common flowering shrubs: azaleas, butterfly bush, hydrangea, knockout rose, and camellia. It provides details on the size, growth habit, bloom time, color, and environmental requirements for each plant. It also briefly describes how computer aided design (CAD) software can be used for landscape design purposes, including creating 2D and 3D renderings, adding plants, fences and other structures to conceptualize plans.
