Long ago, gardeners discovered shrubs require minimal maintenance and deliver maximum rewards. A variety of shrubs add greenery, flowers and fragrance to home landscapes.
Shrubs are easy to plant and if you buy them small, not very expensive. You can always plant a hedge all in one shrub, but it’s more fun and adds more seasonal interest to the garden if you choose a variety of shrubs. Go for a selection that has contrasting shapes, leaf textures and colors. And include plenty of flowering shrubs, which often make great cut flowers for indoors.
