Shrubs (bushes) & structural plants
Shrubs give the garden its structural backbone. Whether evergreen or deciduous, they are ever present in the garden all year round. There are shrubs for every type of garden situation, size and soil condition. Some flower, whilst others have interesting foliage in a spectrum of colours and different shapes. Hugely versatile, there are many ways to incorporate them. Grown in a group, perhaps several layers deep, forming a wind break at your boundary and also a backdrop to border plants. Those with a distinctive shape can be used as a feature, perhaps in a lawn. Shrubs will continue to grow for many years and it is advisable to check the size they will reach. ; Top tip: Container-grown shrubs can be planted in the ground at any time of the year, but best when it is not too hot, between autumn and spring.
