Why Shrubs Are Essential for Every Garden
Shrubs play a vital role in any garden, offering year-round structure, vibrant colours, and an ever-changing display of blooms and foliage. Unlike herbaceous plants that die back in winter, shrubs provide permanent presence, acting as the framework of your garden design. From evergreen varieties that offer constant greenery to deciduous shrubs that transform through the seasons, shrubs add texture, depth, and interest to any space.
The Benefits of Growing Shrubs
With shrubs that flower in spring, summer, or even autumn, there’s always something to enjoy. Many also offer striking autumn foliage and decorative berries.
Flowering shrubs are excellent for pollinators, while berry-producing varieties provide food for birds during colder months.
Once established, shrubs require very little care, making them ideal for all gardeners, whether experienced or new.
Use shrubs for hedging, screening, ground cover, or even patio pots, making them incredibly versatile.
Caring for Shrubs
Ensure shrubs are planted in well-drained soil and consider their light requirements (some prefer sun, while others thrive in shade).
Newly planted shrubs need regular watering, especially in dry spells, but once established, they become drought tolerant.
Most shrubs benefit from light pruning after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth.
Adding mulch in spring helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, while a slow-release fertiliser supports healthy growth.
