Collection: Wonderful Winter Shrubs
Plants for people who don't do 'putting the garden to bed for winter'.
Can't see an empty border without reaching for the trowel? Us too! Don't lock your tools in the shed when the perennials die back, fill the gaps with winter shrubs. And when the perennials come back in the spring? Your shrubs will provide the perfect backdrop, adding height, texture and contrast.

Roots' Cotswolds Valley Nursery
Meet Alice
Putting shrubs in the starlight (and boy do they shine…)
From tending Shakespeare’s gardens to nurturing citrus plants in National Trust orangeries, Alice has a wealth of knowledge and experience working at some of the very finest spaces. With a team of dedicated growers on hand to help, Alice utilises our industry-leading nursery (and the lovely, fertile conditions of the Cotswolds) to grow shrubs that aren’t just good-looking, they’re good-growing too.
Happy plants make happy customers
Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
