Sure-Fire Shrubs

No matter how much or how little room there is in your garden there are shrubs to match your space. If you need to create a border, shrubs can be used in mass plantings to create the desired results. If your space is small, one well-place shrub can be the perfect focal point. The eight Proven Winners ColorChoice® plants shown here are some of our most popular because they get you fantastic blooms and foliage with very little work. For more options,
including Little Lime, a smaller version of Limelight, visit www.provenwinners.com.
