Evergreen Shrubs

Where would we be without the glossy brilliance of holly at Christmas, the heady scent of osmanthus in summer or daphne flowers in January? Rocking in the corner under a blanket of horticultural regret, that’s where. Evergreen shrubs are a must have for year-round colour, fragrance and wildlife appeal. Our UK growers raise them in the field (the proper way) so they’re hard as nails and laugh in the face of the British weather.
