Shrubs

Are you looking for a unique, creative and thoughtful gift idea but not sure what to give? We have a range of shrubs that make memorable gifts for different people and spaces, from the ever-popular Hydrangea, fire red NZ native Kaka Beak, to sweet and fragrant Jasmine that will quickly add their special aroma to a patio area.

Our selection of flowering shrubs has been chosen for their aesthetic appeal and depending on your gift choice will grow well outdoors directly in a garden or deck setting, or even on a high-rise apartment balcony. Shrubs are environmentally sustainable gifts that last long after cut flowers have been thrown away after only a few days.

Give Plants makes giving a meaningful gift easy and there is a shrub to suit the occasion or place. To select the right plant, think about their favourite colours, their space, what they have in their garden and the reason for gifting. Below are some questions and answers to help you select the right gift to send.

What is the best flowering shrub?

They all flower beautifully, but it is hard to go past the Michelia Port Wine Magnolia. This can develop into a small tree and can be pruned to keep shrub size. White its large flowers, it can also be planted in a large pot, then planted out later.
