Foliage Plant Collection

Product Description

Be tempted! There is always a space where you could plant a shrub. Unlike herbaceous perennials, which die back to the ground each winter, they provide a permanent 3-dimensional structure, forming a backdrop to their more ephemeral neighbours. Some shrubs are easy to grow or provide particular interest. Some have an extended flowering season & others provide additional colour or structure at different times of the year.
