Garden Shrubs for Colour, Structure & Year-Round Interest
Shrubs are one of the best ways to give a garden structure, colour and interest throughout the year. A good mix of evergreen and deciduous shrubs can help create shape, screening, flowers, foliage and seasonal colour.
At Old Oak Farm Nurseries, we stock a huge range of shrubs through the seasons, with options for full sun, partial shade and full shade. Whether you need something low-growing, tall-growing, evergreen, deciduous, flowering, climbing or suitable for a pot, we’ll help you choose something that suits your garden.
Popular Shrubs We Stock
Our shrub range changes through the year, but examples can include Azalea, Photinia, Rhododendron, Magnolia, Viburnum, Hebe, Berberis, Convolvulus, Acer, Cistus, Escallonia, Hydrangea and Laurel.
We also stock climbing plants such as Clematis, Jasmine and Honeysuckle, which are useful for fences, walls, arches and trellis.
Choosing the Right Shrub
The right shrub depends on where it’s going and what you want it to do. Some shrubs are better for sunny borders, while others are happier in shade. Some are grown for flowers, some for foliage, some for height, and some for screening or structure.
If you’re not sure what will work best, bring a photo of the area when you visit. We’ll help you choose a shrub that suits the space, soil, light levels and the look you’re after.
Shrubs for Pots and Containers
Some shrubs are well suited to pots and containers, especially where you want colour or structure around patios, doorways and seating areas. We can help you choose suitable varieties and match them with the right compost and container.
