These diminutive shrub varieties have multiple uses in the landscape. They can be used as foundation plants under tall windows, massed as groundcover, trimmed to edge herb and rose gardens (parterres) or planted in containers. Many non-flowering varieties can be trimmed as formal hedges while flowering types are left to bloom then sheared to maintain their shape. Use low growing shrubs to edge herb and rose gardens.
