One point to always remember when planting shrubs is that the shrubs grow and some grow to impressive sizes. So planting shrubs too closely together can create numerous gardening problems later... small shrubs will be dominated by larger ones robbing them of light and nutrients. In the worst case scenario you might find that the shrubs you planted when they were small will become too large for the spot in which they were planted.

The lesson to be learned is to understand how large the shrub will be when fully developed and to make space for that final shrub size. While the shrubs are growing blank spaces can be filled with flowering annuals or grasses or other types of ground cover.
