Why choose small evergreen shrubs?

Evergreen shrubs are shrubs that retain their foliage throughout the year, that is, these shrubs are the ones that offer aesthetic value even when most other plants have already shed off their leaves. They are ideal for:

• Edging and Borders Where heights must be moderate.

• Potential containers or patios with a low volume of space.

• Gardens which desire structure all year round or contrasting backgrounds.

These are some of the highlights of The Spruce list of small evergreen shrubs:

• Blue Star Juniper -  small, blue-grey needles, low, excellent ground cover.

• False Cypress ‘Golden Mop’- grows slowly, turns yellow as it grows, should be planted in a patio.

• Examine the size and rate of growth of the shrub when grown to maturity before planting - what is referred to as dwarf in one species may actually develop several feet.

• Look at the light conditions: There are those that do well in the full sunlight as well as those that do well in the partial shade.

• Drainage and spacing of soil and roots food plants like many small evergreens like less competition and it should be well-drained.
