Shrubs can provide many years of color and seasonal
interest in your yard, but a wrong choice can become a problem over time. Determining
the characteristics of a plant first, will help you narrow down the choices and
avoid mistakes that will haunt you.

These are primary elements for choosing plants.

Secondary elements
- Lighting- full sun or shade
- Moisture requirements (drought or moisture tolerance)
