: Do all shrubs flower? I've been looking for something green that doesn't flower to balance out some other things I want to plant.

Hi Lin,
Some shrubs have flowers that are so tiny as to not be noticed. You don't say your hardiness zone or the sun conditions, so it would be hard to make recommendations. Did you want evergreen? If so, look into confiers or some type of holly.
