Shrubs - Medium Growing 3-8ft
These shrubs will grow to between three and eight feet when fully grown. They work wonders as back-of-border or specimen plants and many have stunning foliage colour, flowers, and berries. Most of them can be pruned regularly but always double check for the best time to do so before getting out your secateurs.
