Flowering Shrubs

Our popular flowering shrubs bring beautiful seasonal blooms, fantastic fragrance, and colour to your garden. With the right care, they can carry on doing so for years! Hydrangeas are a fantastic addition to your garden beds and can create natural borders with their large size. Flowers can vary from blue to pink depending on your soil. Cut them back with secateurs over winter and they’ll come back bigger and better next year!

Azaleas add a pop of colour to any border, whilst pollen-rich buddleias are irresistible to beneficial bugs like ladybirds and solitary bees.

Evergreen Garden Shrubs

Evergreen shrubs have lush green foliage all year round, often with woody stalks and flowers in season. Look for shrubs such as fatsia japonica, camellia, or good old bamboo for some year-round colour. Word to the wise – you may prefer planting your bamboo in pots, as it has a tendency to take over and is very difficult to remove!

FAQs

When is the best time to prune flowering shrubs?

Prune your shrubs fairly soon after they’ve finished flowering. This gives the shrub time to recover and focus its energy into preparing blooms for the next season!

How do I maintain the shape of evergreen shrubs?

Regular pruning in early spring or late summer is your best bet. Grab your hedge trimmers and get to work, but do so carefully – over-enthusiastic pruning could end up doing more harm than good.

What should I do if my evergreen shrub starts turning brown or losing leaves?

Brown foliage and leaf drop can be caused by a few things including overwatering, underwatering, pests, or disease. Try to identify the cause and care for it by improving drainage or combatting pests.

Can I grow shrubs in containers?

Many shrubs don’t mind being in containers, as long as they’re big enough! Use a quality compost, water regularly, and make sure you pot it up if it’s outgrown its current container.
