What are shrubs?
A shrub is a woody plant with multiple stems, none of which dominate, and typically grows to a small or medium size, usually under three metres tall. Known for their bushy, woody stems, shrubs come in a wide range of colours and structures, making them a versatile and enduring favourite in garden designs. Some popular choices are rhododendron, fuchsia and berberis. Whether used as focal points, borders, or hedging, shrubs bring both beauty and structure to any outdoor space.
When is the right time to prune shrubs?
The best time to prune shrubs is typically just after they have finished flowering. This allows the plant to recover and encourages healthy new growth. When pruning, be sure to remove spent flowers and trim back to areas with healthy, outward-facing buds to promote better shape and future blooms. It’s also important to cut away any damaged, diseased, or old wood, as well as any unsightly growth, to help keep your shrubs looking their best and ensure they thrive.
