SHRUBS

For too long, shrubs have taken a back seat to more prestigious perennials and glitzy annuals. Yet these indispensable plants offer shape, color, texture and often fragrance. Massed together, they provide screening and privacy. Shrubs are invaluable in mixed borders with perennials, bulbs and other ephemeral plantings. They're also essential for attracting birds, butterflies and other wildlife to your backyard. Shrubs are destined to become the new glamour plants in the American garden.
