What Are the Best Bushes to Grow?

Bushes (shrubs) are the workhorses in a landscape. While tall trees provide a necessary "backbone" for your yard, they don't offer the flexibility that bushes do. Meanwhile, shorter plants might not be capable of making the visual impact you desire from a distance.

Enter bushes, those versatile plants of an intermediate size. They often seem to be "just right" for injecting color into a designated area -- not too big, but not too small, either. Thus for many of us, a particular bush becomes a favorite plant in the landscape.

How about you? Do you have a favorite bush? What type is it? Azalea? Lilac? Rose of sharon? And why do you prize the bush so much? Click the link below to let us know.
