Distance Apart to Plant Shrubs 
In most cases shrubs should be maintained by trimming to keep them checked in size. 
When a low and tall variety are planted together—use the rule for spacing the taller shrub. 
While a general rule for spacing the same variety together is two-thirds the ultimate height, 
the following suggestions are more specific.
