Shrubs for Sun

Shrubs for sun thrive in bright, open spots where they can soak up plenty of light and reward you with masses of flowers, fragrance, and vibrant foliage. These sun-loving plants bring colour and structure to borders, patios, and hedges — creating a lively, long-lasting display from spring through to autumn.

Our collection includes reliable favourites such as Lavatera, Buddleja (Butterfly Bush), Ceanothus, Hebe, Spiraea, Choisya, and Cistus — all chosen for their ability to flourish in full sun and dry conditions. Many are pollinator-friendly, attracting bees and butterflies while requiring very little maintenance.

Perfect for south-facing gardens or sunny borders, these sun-loving shrubs add warmth, movement, and lasting colour. With their bright blooms and hardy nature, they’re the ideal choice for creating a vibrant garden that thrives in the sunshine.
