Shrubs & Perennial Plants
What are Shrubs and Perennial Plants?
Shrubs and perennial plants are designed to support a thriving garden and provide the framework and interest that make any outdoor space feel complete and well-designed.
Shrubs are typically woody plants that offer structure and colour. They vary in size and shape, which allows them to be used as hedges, screens and standout feature plants, making them ideal for both small and large gardens.
Perennial plants are non-woody plants that return year after year. As they don’t need to be replanted each season, they are cost-effective and low-maintenance. They also provide beautiful seasonal blooms, ensuring your garden looks natural throughout the year with minimal effort.
Together, shrubs and perennials add texture, interest and vibrancy to any garden, creating an inviting and long-lasting outdoor space. By combining these plants, you can create layers of colour and habitat that support wildlife while enhancing your garden’s aesthetic appeal.

Caring for Your Shrubs & Perennial Plants
01
Correct Planting
We advise ensuring that your soil is well-prepared and drains properly. Most shrubs and perennials love fertile and slightly acidic soil rather than neutral soil.
02
Watering, Feeding & Mulching
We recommend deep watering to encourage root growth, but avoid overwatering, particularly in pots. Fertilise in spring and add mulch to retain moisture and stop weeds.
03
Pruning & Deadheading
We recommend pruning and removing dead or damaged branches and flowers. This ensures that your shrubs and perennials continue to bloom throughout the year.
04
Pests & Disease
We recommend regularly inspecting your shrubs and perennials for pests and disease and treating any infestations properly with trusted solutions.
