Proper planting is not a great 
mass of greenery masking a 
house face—but merely a low 
group of dwarfs to tie the 
house down to the lawn. 
Large-growing kinds in ten 
years become so unsightly 
they must be replaced or ar- 
tificially clipped. True dwarf 
kinds remain for generations 
growing in beauty every 
year. 
Spacing for dwarfs should be 
about 3 feet to a plant. At 
the start, small plants will 
look “skimpy” but in five 
years or so will have filled 
out, to fill the area.
