Low Maintenance Shrubs
A low maintenance shrub is one that reaches a stable size and stays there without annual cutting back. Azalea, Syzygium, Leptospermum, Juniperus, Callistemon, Acacia, Rhaphiolepis, Melaleuca, Camellia, Conocarpus, Metrosideros, Retama raetam and Teucrium oliverianum all behave that way in the conditions Ornatec supplies into.
The commonest reason a low maintenance planting becomes high maintenance is planting density: beds filled to look complete immediately need thinning within three years. Plant to the mature spread and accept a thinner first season. See evergreen shrubs for the structural range and drought tolerant shrubs where water is also constrained.
