| I'm looking for a combo of shrubs to plant in the flower bed that sits against my house. It's 17' long and 5' deep and East facing. There's a window 3' above that opens outwards, so the shrubs need to stay shorter than that.
I want something that will retain color in the winter, so I've been looking at a variety of evergreens and others like Virginia Sweetspire that have the red stems. Shrubs that need to be pruned are fine with me. Any suggestions for shorter shrubs? |
