About Evergreen Shrubs
Evergreen shrubs are the bones of a great garden. When the perennials die back and the trees drop their leaves, these are the plants still standing — full, green, and quietly doing the heavy lifting. They screen a neighbor's window, soften a foundation, frame a path, and give your yard shape in January the same way they do in June. Plant once, and they pay you back for decades.
One category, many jobs. Need a living privacy wall? Reach for fast, dense growers like arborvitae, holly, or Schip laurel. Want a tidy clipped hedge or low border? Boxwood and dwarf yaupon take shearing beautifully. Looking for color along with the cover? Many evergreens flower or berry — and broadleaf types like camellia and pieris bring real seasonal show. Match the mature size to your space and you'll spend far less time pruning later.
Growing basics
Most evergreen shrubs ask for very little. Give them well-drained soil, water steadily through the first year while roots establish, and mulch to hold moisture. Many tolerate sun or part shade, though needled types generally want more light and broadleaf evergreens appreciate some afternoon shelter in hot regions. A single light shaping each year keeps hedges crisp; otherwise these are some of the lowest-maintenance plants you can own.
Shipped to arrive healthy. Every shrub is grown in our nursery network, inspected, and hand-packed in protective, season-aware packaging so it shows up rooted and ready to plant — and we honor the state-by-state agricultural rules that govern where each variety can ship.
Common questions
-
Which evergreen shrubs make the best privacy screen?
For fast, dense privacy, look at arborvitae, Schip and English laurel, holly, and wax myrtle. Check the mature height and spread, then space plants so they'll knit into a solid wall as they fill in.
-
How far apart should I space evergreen shrubs for a hedge?
As a rule of thumb, space plants slightly closer than their mature width so they grow together into one continuous hedge. For a tight, formal look, plant a little closer; for individual specimens, give each its full spread.
-
Do evergreen shrubs need full sun?
It depends on the type. Needled evergreens like arborvitae and junipers prefer full sun, while many broadleaf evergreens such as camellia, holly, and pieris are happy in part shade and even appreciate afternoon protection in hot climates.
-
When is the best time to plant evergreen shrubs?
Early fall and spring are ideal, giving roots time to settle before summer heat or winter cold. With steady watering, container-grown evergreens can be planted through most of the growing season.
-
Can these shrubs ship to my state?
Some evergreens carry agricultural shipping restrictions that vary by state. Those rules are built into fulfillment, so plants are only sent where they're allowed to go.
