-33% off the second pack!

This category includes the most commonly used shrubs in landscape design, in structural flowerbeds, hedges, plant screens, natural gardens, and public and private space landscaping.

It comprises several large families:

• Shrubs with prominent flowers (hydrangeas, buddleias, weigelas, deutzias, philadelphuses, potentillas, spireas, caryopteris, perovskias, etc.)
• Evergreen shrubs / decorative foliage shrubs (boxwood, photinias, eleagnus, osmanthus, pittosporum, laurels, skimmias, sarcococca, pieris, etc.)
• Berry or fruit-bearing shrubs (cotoneasters, pyracanthas, snowberries, callicarpa, ornamental dogwoods, serviceberries, etc.)
• Hedge and structural shrubs (cherry laurels, thuja, yews, hornbeams, hazel trees, viburnums, barberries, forsythias, etc.)
• Small shrubs and subshrubs (shrubby lavatera, rockroses, shrubby rosemary, broom, santolina, shrubby wormwood, etc.)

Composition of each symbol

Each shrub in this category comes with two complementary components, perfectly integrated for Vectorworks:

1. 2D symbol
   • Realistic or stylised top view
   • Diameters/heights depending on the plant
   • Differentiated foliage and flowering where relevant
   • Clear label with Latin name + all possible names
   • Line density and thickness adapted to remain legible in overall plans or detailed drawings
2. Very lightweight 3D component (Image Prop)
   • Ultra-lightweight modelling created exclusively with a prop image (billboard)
   • Extremely low weight
   • Very natural visual results from the first viewing distances (3D rendering, perspectives, camera views)
   • No heavy geometry = your Vectorworks files remain fluid even with hundreds of shrubs

Full compatibility with the Vectorworks catalogue

All symbols in this database strictly adhere to the characteristics and fields of the plant catalogue integrated into Vectorworks. This means that each shrub includes the following information, correctly filled in and ready to be used in your reports and captions:

• Latin name
• Plant type
• Adult height and width
• Flowering period
• Flower colour
• Type of foliage (deciduous / evergreen / semi-evergreen)
• Recommended exposure (sun, partial shade, shade)
• Water requirements
• Hardiness (hardiness zone)
• Suggested landscaping use
• An illustrative image ideal for well-documented tables

This data allows for seamless integration into planting tables, technical data sheets and area calculations for your project.

Why this format is particularly suitable

• Convincing 3D rendering without sacrificing software speed
• Low impact on file size (ideal for projects with lots of structural vegetation)
• Easy to edit: you can change the height, width, rotation, opacity, tint or replace the prop image if needed
• Realism sufficient for client presentations, landscape studies, cross-sections and atmospheric renderings
• No loss of performance compared to full 3D models (mesh + textures)
