These shrubs can be used as focal points in the garden, especially those with contrasting leaf colors and attractive flowers. Those that take well to shearing can be used as topiaries or as smaller hedges. Plant these medium sized shrubs to soften foundations and provide a backbone for flowering perennials, roses and grasses.
