^Shrubs for Shady Locations

Most of the plants that are adapted for western Kansas will grow on the north side if they are planted 3 to 4 feet from the building and out from the roof overhang. In eastern Kansas it is necessary to consider shade tolerance when planting on the north side of the house.

Most shrubs will bloom more profusely and produce more fruit when planted in the sun, even though they may survive quite well in deep shade. Often shrubs will grow better in shade simply because they are protected from the southwest winds. If you don’t want to plant dwarf shrubs 3 to 4 feet out from the foundation of the house, then plant only shade tolerant shrubs.

What is often thought of as a shade problem is often the result of competition from the roots of adjoining trees. Apply plant food and water and thin the tree branches to correct this problem.

The shrubs listed for shady locations may be expected to perform adequately on the north side of the house or behind fences in deep shade. Many of these same shrubs will do equally well in strong sunlight or shade.

Low Maintenance _for your shrubs

HEIGHT AND SPREAD

Consider low maintenance when planning your landscape. When selecting shrubs for your yard, determine the maximum height and spread you want from the planting, and then select only from shrubs with those characteristics.

The shrubs listed in this bulletin have been grouped according to their mature heights. If you are looking for a shrub that will grow under a window that is 4 feet from the ground, select from those listed as dwarf shrubs. You certainly would not select a Tatarian Honeysuckle (10 to 12 feet) for this location.

Never select a shrub that will ultimately grow too high for its location and expect to keep it shorter by constant clipping. This will only add to your time in maintaining your landscape.
