SHRUBS

Ornamental shrubs form the "backbone" of landscaping beds around your house and do a yeomans job of filling-in the home landscape between low flower borders and tall trees.

Fragrance and beauty make the Lilac 
an all-time favorite.

The sky's the limit when it comes to adding color to your landscape with shrubs these days, as plant breeders have intensified the colors of many shrubs.  If size has been a problem, the breeders have also been busy creating many new dwarf varieties of shrubs for today's smaller gardens.  

Deer have become regular visitors to many suburban landscapes in the 90's, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying an attractive landscape!
