What are some rules to follow with entrance plantings?

Tips for entrance plants

Use plants with year-round interest, because they are seen closely and often.
Plants alongside the door should not be taller than one-fourth to one-third the distance from ground to the eaves. Choose plants that are in proportion with the entrance, don't crowd people coming and going and don't choose plantings that may have to be deformed by excessive pruning.
