Oh well i always say hate mail is better than no mail. Choose shrubs that maintain dense foliage from top to bottom and plant them close enough so the leaves of adjacent plants will overlap slightly at maturity.

groupe Shrubs and bushes for front of house!!!

My last post about planting things in front of the house that grow way too big angered many of you. Allow adequate spacing between plants to prevent overcrowding. Plantings around the front of your house should frame it rather than hiding it from view even if increasing privacy is one of your goals. However these larger shrubs should be located at least 5 feet 1 5 m from the home.

Whether you re a budding gardener or veteran floriculturist there s no shame in wanting to take the easy way out with your backyard foliage that s where these low maintenance shrubs and bushes come in. Researching the mature size of plants you like is the best way to prevent overgrowth excessive shade and the need for perpetual grooming. One request voiced by many was for a list of good plants for the front of the house. Tree form evergreen shrubs such as wax myrtle ligustrum or cherry laurel can also be used in small areas.

Most of these flowering shrubs prefer morning sun with afternoon shade and are hardy in zones 4 or 5 9. Invincibelle mini mauvette shown here is hardy in zones 3 9 and takes full sun. If you use lush leafy hydrangeas to camouflage an unsightly foundation leave a couple of feet between the plants and the house so they have room to. Low growing shrubs like yew juniper boxwood and holly are good choices for foundation plantings.
