Quick answer: Low maintenance usually comes from choosing a shrub whose natural mature size fits the bed. A plant that must be sheared every few weeks is not truly low maintenance.
Design for mature size
Leave enough room between the plant and walls, sidewalks and neighboring shrubs.
Use natural form
Shrubs that look good without constant shaping reduce labor.
Group similar needs
Plants with similar sun and water requirements are easier to manage.
Keep the palette disciplined
Using fewer varieties in larger groupings can look cleaner and simplify care.
