Best low-maintenance evergreen shrubs for a front yard – 5 easy-to-grow plants that will instantly boost curb appeal

Red leaves of nandina domestica 'Gulf Stream', also known as heavenly bamboo.

Evergreen shrubs are stalwarts of any well-designed front yard. Adding any number of evergreen shrubs to borders or containers can instantly boost your home's curb appeal.

As a former professional gardener, I have planted countless evergreen shrubs when working in different public and private gardens across the UK. While most are relatively straightforward to grow, I have a small number of low-maintenance evergreen shrubs for a front yard that I always recommend. These plants are suitable for anyone looking for an easy way to add year-round beauty to their plot.
