We've all been there: a vibrant, attractive flowering shrub at the garden
center catches our eye. Smitten, we take it home and give it a place of honor
in our landscape, only to watch it wither and die in a matter of months.

attracted to color, size, shape, texture, flowers, fruit, and other qualities.
But looks aren't everything when selecting the best ornamental plants for your
landscape.
The experts from the Lawn and Landscape Institute at The TruGreen Companies offer
some other things to consider when planning and shopping.
