Low Maintenance for your shrubs
HEIGHT AND SPREAD
Consider low maintenance when planning your landscape. When selecting shrubs for your yard, determine the maximum height and spread you want from the planting, and then select only from shrubs with those characteristics.
The shrubs listed in this bulletin have been grouped according to their mature heights. If you are looking for a shrub that will grow under a window that is 4 feet from the ground, select from those listed as dwarf shrubs. You certainly would not select a Tatarian Honeysuckle (10 to 12 feet) for this location.
Never select a shrub that will ultimately grow too high for its location and expect to keep it shorter by constant clipping. This will only add to your time in maintaining your landscape.
Wrong selection of shrubs can be disastrous as shown by the planting on the right.
