Which of the following is classified as an evergreen shrub?

• A. Mountain Adromeda
• B. Peegee Hydrangea
• C. Pyramidal Arborvitae
• D. Fragrant viburnum

Answer: (A)

Evergreen shrubs keep their leaves year-round, providing winter foliage and a woody, multi-stem habit typical of shrubs. Mountain Adromeda fits this perfectly: it is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that retains its foliage through the seasons, giving a constant green backdrop in the garden. PeeGee Hydrangea loses its leaves in winter, so it’s deciduous. Pyramidal Arborvitae is indeed evergreen, but it tends to form a coniferous, tree-like shape rather than a typical shrub form. Fragrant viburnum is generally deciduous in many landscapes, with evergreen varieties being less common in standard nursery selections. So the one that best aligns with the evergreen shrub category is Mountain Adromeda.
