These provide year-round structure and foliage. Perfect for hedges, borders or pots. Such as Euonymus – variegated leaves. Photinia ‘Red Robin’ – striking red new growth, great for hedging. Viburnum tinus – glossy leaves and flowers through winter.
Add colour and structure to your garden outside of summer. Such as: Cornus (Dogwood) – fiery red orange stems in winter. Mahonia ‘Winter Sun’ – bright yellow flowers in winter. Sarcococca (Christmas Box) – evergreen with fragrant winter flowers.
Ideal for smaller spaces, patios, or containers. Such as: Berberis – compact, colourful foliage with small spring flowers. Spiraea – easy to grow with frothy clusters of flowers. Dwarf Buddleja – smaller varieties perfect for pots and loved by butterflies.
Low-growing shrubs that spread to cover soil, helps suppress weeds and fill awkward spaces. Such as: Cotoneaster – evergreen groundcover with berries. Vinca (Periwinkle) – hardy, blue or white flowers. Pachysandra – evergreen foliage, likes shady areas.
Encourage pollinators and birds into your garden. Such as: Buddleja (Butterfly Bush) – irresistible to butterflies and bees. Ribes (Flowering Currant) – early spring nectar source. Sambucus (Elder) – striking foliage and flowers, then berries loved by birds.

You can buy shrubs year-round at Woolpit Nurseries, but planting is best done in spring or autumn when soil is moist and not too hot.
Yes! Compact varieties such as Hebes, Lavatera and small Euonymus are perfect for containers.
Most shrubs need very little care once established. Occasional pruning and feeding will keep them healthy.
No – we don’t sell online. All plants are sold in person at our Suffolk nursery so you can hand-pick the best shrubs yourself.
Planting shrubs is the perfect way to give your garden a lasting foundation of vibrancy and beauty. Autumn is ideal for planting shrubs of all sizes! And container-grown varieties are ready to be planted at any point in the year.
