Evergreen Shrubs FAQs

Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Evergreen Shrubs in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant Evergreen Shrubs

Evergreen shrubs can be planted at any time of year, but the best times are in spring or autumn when the soil is moist and temperatures are moderate. This helps the plants establish roots before the extremes of summer heat or winter cold.

How to Plant Evergreen Shrubs

To plant evergreen shrubs, choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth. Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring the root collar is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

How long do Evergreen Shrubs take to grow

Evergreen shrubs grow at varying rates depending on the species. Some may grow rapidly, adding a few feet per year, while others grow slowly. Proper care, including regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding, can enhance growth rates and health.

Why Grow Evergreen Shrubs?

Evergreen shrubs provide year-round foliage, structure, and privacy to your garden. They are low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and can be used for hedging, borders, or as standalone specimens. Evergreen shrubs also offer habitats for wildlife and maintain garden interest even in winter.
