Shop the Best Shrubs and Hedges
Shrubs and hedges do the heavy lifting in a landscape. They frame a yard, soften hard edges, and give you something beautiful to look at every month of the year. Here at Perfect Plants Nursery we have been growing bushes and hedges in our North Florida fields since 1980, so the shrubs and hedges for sale on this page are not drop-shipped from a warehouse. We root them, grow them on, and care for them ourselves before they ever ship to your door.
Shrubs are a do-it all collection of live plants. We put together this collection for the homeowners who want a fast growing border, a flowering hedge that pulls in pollinators, or a tidy evergreen foundation planting. Regardless of the landscape project, you will find mature shrubs for sale here in several sizes. A few things to think through before you buy a shrub or hedge for sale: your planting site is the most important factor. Is it full sun or shade? What are your soil conditions? How much room do these plants have to fill out at their mature height and width? And do you want flowers? Be sure to check your USDA plant hardiness zone before you make that big decision, and lean on our Grow Guides whenever you need a second opinion.

How to Grow the Best Shrubs in Your Neighborhood
After 45 years of growing bushes and hedges, we have learned that a great-looking landscape comes down to a few fundamentals done well. Get the planting right, keep up with seasonal pruning and feeding, and your shrubs will reward you for years. Here is how our growers do it, and for a deeper dive on any single plant, our shrub grow guide walks you through the specifics.
How to Plant Shrubs
It all starts with the right spot. Choose a planting site with the light and water your particular shrub prefers, then dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and work some fresh, nutrient-rich soil into the bottom. Set the shrub in so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground, backfill with soil, and water it in well. From there, a little regular attention is all it takes. Always check your USDA plant hardiness zone before planting so your new shrub is a good match for your area.
How to Trim Hedges
Non-flowering and evergreen hedges only need trimming as needed, and the trick is to reshape them before they get overgrown rather than after. Snip back the longer branches and open up the interior so sunlight and air can move through, which stimulates healthy growth from the inside out. Do not forget to tidy up the base near the roots while you are at it.
How to Prune Shrubs
Pruning shrubs is simpler than most folks expect. Begin by removing any dead limbs near the base, then keep the top a touch narrower than the bottom so sunlight can reach the whole plant. Every cut you make opens the door for new growth, which over time fills the shrub out and makes it stronger. Once the structure looks good, feel free to shape it to whatever size and form you have in mind.
When should I fertilize my shrubs?
Timing matters here. If you planted in fall, hold off and feed the following spring; for spring-planted hedges, give them six to eight weeks to settle before their first feeding. A teaspoon of a 16-4-8 or similar high-nitrogen fertilizer worked in around the edges of each planting hole delivers the nutrients shrubs and hedges need to push new growth. For ongoing care, early spring is the ideal time to feed, and an all-purpose slow-release fertilizer sprinkled at the base can carry your plants for up to a year.
Are Shrubs Annuals or Perennials?
Shrubs are woody plants, and because they come back year after year they are considered perennial shrubs. That said, gardeners in colder climates often grow warm-climate shrubs as annuals, so it really comes down to what you want in your garden.
Why Gardeners Buy Shrubs and Hedges from Perfect Plants
When you buy shrubs and hedges from Perfect Plants Nursery, you are buying from an actual grower, not a middleman. We have been raising bushes and hedges on our North Florida farm since 1980, which means the plant that arrives at your door was rooted, potted, and cared for by our own team rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf. That hands-on attention shows up in healthier roots, fuller foliage, and shrubs that establish faster once they are in your ground. Every order is packed with care and backed by growers who actually know these plants, so if you ever have a question about which hedge fits your yard or how to get it settled in, real people with dirt under their nails are here to help. It is the difference between ordering a plant and ordering a plant grown right.
