Shrubs
Shrubs are an excellent way to give your borders structure, whilst often providing a great floral display. Most require little attention, and in the case of evergreens, will provide year-round interest. Generally, pruning – if needed - should be carried out after flowering, unless berries are also produced. Many have very attractive flowers, some are scented, while others provide interest through their foliage or stems.
Our shrubs are usually available in 3 litre pots with prices starting from £9.99. In recent times we have started to grow more specimens in larger pots for those customers looking for a more instant effect.
