Slow Growing Deciduous Bush

Live in NE, New Hampshire, Zone 5. Thinking of buying a small, mini bush to place in a large outdoor container that would be slow growing and able to stay outside year round for my front entry way. Any ideas? I am an avid gardner with large perennial gardens.

You have quite the selection of choices, here! As long as you choose any small-stature shrub that is less than 12 feet tall, and hardy down to zone 4 (you really want to ensure that your shrub can remain hardy when it is in container, so you choose for a zone lower in hardiness.) you can keep it in container without much fuss.

Here are some articles that will help:
