Flowering Shrubs

Flowering shrubs are a must for colourful hedges, borders and wildlife gardens, wowing you with year-round displays of beautiful blooms, while providing essential habitats for birds and mammals and pollen for bees and butterflies. They’re all grown the traditional way by our UK growers, so you can be sure you’re getting the hardiest, healthiest plants around. Shrubs also do a lot for shady borders, dull winter landscapes and windswept corners, but they don’t like to talk about it.
