Native viburnums are something to consider:

Viburnum acerifolium, Mapleleaf viburnum
Viburnum dentatum, Arrowleaf viburnum
Viburnum lantanoides, Hobble bush
Viburnum nudum, possumhaw

All of these are native to Virginia. They offer nice flowers, attractive foliage, berries and good fall color. They are all deciduous. One of my favorite families of plants! There are others than the ones I've listed, but these seem the most readily available. Be aware that one non-native viburnum, Viburnum dilatatum, is considered invasive in some areas.

Another native idea is Inkberry, Ilex glabra. It is evergreen.

Personally, I am very partial to the hollies (there are a lot of varieties from which to choose--native and non-native--all terrific!) Make sure you consider the ultimate height you want when selecting any particular species or cultivar. Be careful though, they are addicting for us collectors.--My current collection includes: Nellie Stevens, Burfordii, Blue princess and prince, China Girl, and Inkberry.

I know it doesn't fit all your needs...but one of my favorite shrubs is Fothergilla gardenii. I've grown this plant successfully in southwest Ohio and eastern Nebraska - its a tough plant but very refined, beautiful and reliable fall color, beautiful fragrant blooms, and clean summer foliage. I've had rabbits gnaw mine down to the base the past two winters but they keep coming back. They don't need to be pruned, take full sun or full shade...just great plants...

I'm with Esh and NJoasis. Viburnums and hollies are the best performers here. I would add Doublefile Viburnum to Esh's list. Its a beautiful 3-season plant with great berry production.

For winter interest and berries, one can hardly do better than Ilex verticillata. It requires a pollinator though. The berries persist most of the winter till they sweeten up and then the birds feast. Many evergreen hollies also would be candidates. Some also need pollinators. Ilex 'O'Spring' (golden variegated holly) or Ilex 'China Girl' are good choices. Evergreens also provide shelter for the birds.

Try Osmanthus. There are many varieties, shapes, and fragrances with holly like leaves that can be hedged if desired. Little pruning, nice background or feature-- Evergreen shrub, some variegated, and fragrant when it blooms. One of the "bones" of my garden that is always a standout.

I also like all the viburnums and hollies, especially yaupon holly, which is native to VA and is especially good for the southern coastal plain. The birds have been eating my yaupon berries so voraciously this year, I've actually ordered two more female plants to add to the horde - the cultivar I've ordered is supposed to be especially heavy bearing. Also, I'd like to grow a yaupon on my own, so I can see how much better, if any, they do with me adding chicken manure to the planting hole - all mine occur naturally in my woods.
Another shrub to consider that's native to VA is wax myrtle/myrica cerifera - many birds eat the berries, and it's another great one for the southern coastal plain. Also, the leaves smell heavenly!

After doing some winter chores in the garden today your post reminded me of two of my personal favorites: Bottlebrush Buckeye and Witchhazel.

If you want a small shrub, Skimmia japonica is a possibility. If you want something large, perhaps Mahonia japonica.

Both of these shrubs have all-season qualities with flowers, fruit, foliage.

I second the motion for mahonia. I have Winter Sun and it is wonderful. This evergreen grows in full, hot, southern sun, makes beautiful late summer/early fall spikes of yellow blooms, which are followed in early spring with huge clusters of true blue berries that look like grapes.

Ilex O'Spring, Osmanthus Goshiki and Osmanthus Variegata are all, as mentioned above fabulous colorful, evergreen plants for the south. (I know that Forest Farm carries all three.)

In addition, if it's hardy for you, Sweet Olive (Osmanthus fragrans) is impossible to beat for fragrance.

I'm on a loropetalum kick right now. Depending on the variety, you can have foliage that is anywhere from dark purple (almost black) to the more typical purple/dark green mix to plain green. It is evergreen as well, and has pink flowers that usually bloom heavily in spring and then intermittently throughout the year. It's a tough shrub too, and will deal just fine with neglect and drought once it's established. Gets anywhere from 4-8' high and wide (sometimes larger). A neat shrub...."everpurple"!

thanks everyone! i may try a few of these...

Also, natives such as serviceberry, currants, and blueberry offer berries for you and the birds-you will have to be quick! Cynthia
