Evergreen Gem: perfect planting for the time-poor gardener

What is the Evergreen Gem collection?

This garden gem is a thoughtfully assembled group of evergreen plants, that will keep their foliage throughout the year and give you a constant backdrop of greenery – even in the depths of winter. Unlike deciduous plants that shed their leaves, the majority of these gems offer continuous visual appeal, ensuring your garden never looks completely bare.

But the real magic for the time-poor gardener lies in their low-maintenance nature. We’ve selected these plants for their resilience – they require minimal pruning, watering (once established), and above all, no fuss. They’re generally robust and adaptable to various conditions, allowing you to spend less time tending and more time simply enjoying your outdoor space.

Why choose the Evergreen Gem?

• Year-Round Interest: Say goodbye to the starkness of winter. These evergreens provide constant colour and structure, across this Plant Collection, you’ll get a visually appealing garden from season to season.
• Low Maintenance: Forget endless pruning and deadheading. These plants are chosen for their ability to thrive with minimal intervention, freeing up your valuable time.  
• Foundation for your garden: Evergreens act as a fantastic backbone for your garden design. They provide a consistent framework against which you can add seasonal pops of colour with flowering plants. If you’d like advice on what to pair it with, you can always drop us a line at hello@digclub.co.uk
• Variety and Texture: The collection isn’t just a mass of uniform green. We carefully selects plants with varying leaf shapes, textures, and even subtle colour variations, adding visual interest and depth to your garden.
• Easy to Establish: These plants are typically hardy and relatively easy to get established, meaning less initial intensive care is required.  

In a busy world, taking the time for a bit gardening can feel like another chore… Dig’s Evergreen Gem collection offers a smart solution. It allows you to create a beautiful, enduring garden that requires minimal effort, though it’s always there when you do have half an hour for a bit of weeding, pruning and tidying up, letting you enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing your precious time.
