Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI am looking to plant an easy boarder of 2 types of shrubs repeated. One of the shrubs will be red robin and I want to alternate these with a yellow shrub of a similar size. The boarder is south east facing. What would you recommend please?
