Controversial opinion: shrubs are better than cut flowers, especially when it comes to the shadier corners of your yard. If we’re talking about getting the best bang for your buck and what makes the foundation of a high-end garden design, a great shrub will get our vote every time.
Shrubs are the true architects of a shady garden. They provide essential year-round structure that your other flowers merely decorate throughout the seasons. Plus, come fall, you’ll be thankful your shrubs are there to bulk out your beds!
