Evergreen Shrubs for Sale from Spring Hill Nurseries
Evergreen shrubs are woody plants that maintain their dense foliage through all four seasons and are favored for their low-maintenance care requirements and ability to be pruned into visually-appealing shapes. Evergreen shrubs provide great bones for any landscaping endeavor, offering consistent structure, color, and curb appeal. Choose evergreen shrub varieties for hedges, borders, or as specimen plants – plant them anywhere and watch them thrive.
Choosing & Planting Evergreen Shrubs
Evergreen shrubs vary widely in their sunlight preferences, but are mostly drought-tolerant once established. Depending on the species, evergreens are hardy in zones 4 – 9. When selecting your shrubs, consider the following:
- Available space and plant spacing, especially when creating privacy hedges
- Amount of sunlight the space receives throughout the day
- Soil type, drainage, and pH; evergreens need well-drained soil to avoid suffering from "wet feet"
- Other plants and trees in the area
- Utilities (both above and below ground)
- Hardiness zones
Tip: To avoid winter browning, water evergreen shrubs deeply before the ground freezes.
When to Plant Evergreen Shrubs
Planting in fall is ideal to allow root establishment before the summer heat.
