Shrubs at Edwards Garden Centres
Our Largest Collection

Shrubs

279 varieties of flowering and evergreen shrubs grown at our Staffordshire nurseries. From Hydrangea and Rhododendron to Camellia, Azalea and dozens more.

Flowering & Evergreen Shrubs Grown in Staffordshire

Shrubs are the backbone of any well-designed garden, providing structure, colour and interest throughout the year. Our collection of 279 locally grown varieties is the largest category at Edwards Garden Centres, covering everything from spring-flowering Camellias and Azaleas to summer-blooming Hydrangeas and winter-interest Dogwoods.

Every shrub is grown on site and nurtured to maturity in our Staffordshire nurseries. This means they are already hardened off and acclimatised to local conditions, giving them the best possible start when you plant them in your garden.

Our highlights include 16 Hydrangea varieties spanning paniculata, macrophylla and serrata types, 14 Rhododendron varieties in every colour, 11 Camellia varieties for spring elegance, and 13 Azalea varieties for acid-loving colour.
