Shrubs

One of the most popular plants in both modern and classic garden designs, the humble shrub is a gardener’s best friend. These diverse plants have a variety of uses – from edging and hedging to ground cover, feature plants and backdrops. Your imagination is the limit!

Many shrubs are also known for being hardy and easy to care for, particularly Australian Natives. This makes them an ideal choice for beginner gardeners, busy folks or those dealing with harsh conditions and poor soil. They’re versatile plants that anyone can grow.

The term ‘Shrubs’ covers a very broad category of plants. Many popular shrubs are flowering ground cover plants, while others can resemble small trees. You may also find what you need in the Hedging or Ground Cover categories. Otherwise, ask our friendly team.

Shrubs

Natural Boundaries. Shrubs are a perfect option for lining the boundary of your property or creating natural walls to section your garden. Some will act like light screening hedges, while others look great spaced apart like small ornamental trees.

Feature plants. Some shrubs are absolutely spectacular. The multicoloured flowers of the Fuschia shrub make for a bold feature plant in any garden. Other flowering shrubs like Lavender are renowned for their soft colours and captivating scent.

Ground cover. Low shrubs are a fantastic way to quickly cover unused ground or dirt areas in your yard. They’re low maintenance and can prevent weeds from creeping in. You can also plant low shrubs near fences or rock features to soften hard edges.
