“Die-back” Shrubs 
This group usually survives the average winters, 
but in our New England climate (except near the 
seashore) the tops generally die back to such an 
extent as to make them without positive form for 
several months each year. For this reason they are 
unfit for structural use. They are listed here among 
Shrubs merely for convenience, but should be used 
as Decorative Plants, and only in protected locations.
