Before purchasing a shrub for decoration country design we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a selection of the most interesting and original copies. To make the site look stylish and original after planting ornamental shrubs, the purpose of each species should be taken into account.

Low-growing shrubs are a versatile garden decoration. They can form a separate composition, serve as a hedge or border along a path or flower bed. Quite often they are used in the design of discounts.

Larger shrubs can divide the area into zones, and a medium-sized hedge will provide protection from the sun's rays.

Tall bushes are good for both decorating unsightly walls and shading certain corners of the garden. They are also good in single landings.

Coniferous and evergreen shrubs, the highlight of any site. Without them, the design will be incomplete. They can be made the center of the composition, planted on a large area as a living fence, their combination with a rose looks very original, but the disadvantage is that not every rose will like such a neighborhood.

Blooming mini-trees will be a bright touch on the green background of the hedge and decoration of the summer cottage. A freestanding rose bush will help to dilute the monotony of the design, or to decorate the entrance area.

At first glance, everything seems to be simple: I chose the shrubs I liked, marked the site and plant them according to the markings. But this approach can lead to the fact that the garden turns into an impenetrable jungle.

The basis for decorating a garden is a deliberate and skillful combination of plants. To achieve the effect, when choosing a place for shrubs, a lot must be taken into account: the size of adult plants, the silhouette they form and volume.

Shrubs with excellent growth shape look good together. Tandem mini-spruce with Japanese maple, or decorative cherries with rhododendrons and cypress trees, will make a complete image.

Plants with a contrasting color of leaves go well. They complement each other and create bright accent... One group can be variegated euonymus, golden spruce and fan maple with purple leaves.

The ensemble will look more spectacular if there is at least one shrub in it, which is distinguished by bright flowering.

You should not line up the composition in one row, usually they are seated in two or three lines, and the front ones should not overlap the bushes standing behind by more than 20 percent. You can place mini-trees in the shape of a triangle.

When forming a composition, the compatibility of plants must also be taken into account. So some kinds coniferous shrubs rather aggressive towards their deciduous counterparts. They can suppress their growth and development, or even destroy them altogether.

Particular attention should be paid to calculating the distance between plantings; for this, the height of an adult bush is multiplied by two.

The distance between shrubs depends on their size:

• Low-growing (almonds, dwarf conifers) should be planted at a distance of 70-80 cm.
• Medium-sized (chaenomeles, felt cherry, rhododendron, deytion) - at a distance of 1.2-1.5 m.
• Tall (spirea, lilac, forsythia, viburnum, hawthorn) - the distance should be at least 2 m.
