THESE PLANTS GROW LOW 
IN FULL SUN... 
Use the Shrubs described in this section for planting beneath long, 
low windows having a sunny exposure through most of the day. 
Use them for bordering sunny terraces, covering sunny slopes, and 
as “facers’ for medium and tall plants in the shrubbery border. 
Group three to five plants of a single variety together and strive 
for mildly contrasting foliage tints and textures to lend interest to 
your planting. This section contains many of the gray-foliage 
plants shown to perfection against a rustic brown or dark green 
background. The compact varieties are useful for low hedges.
