Every garden has its showstopper plants and flowers that sit centre stage and grab the attention, whether it’s a gorgeous rose or a delicate peony. But while they might look fantastic, many of these plants can be pretty high-maintenance to look after, which isn’t ideal if you’re stretched for time or are a novice gardener.
In contrast, some fantastic shrubs seem to thrive on neglect, requiring very little in the way of care and attention, but just quietly getting on with it. Whether low-growing evergreen shrubs that add shape and structure to garden beds and borders, or flowering shrubs that add a splash of colour, these low-maintenance plants need very little TLC but are often the hidden stars of the garden.
