Planting and start
Ornamental shrubs are best planted in autumn or early spring. Make sure you have a spacious planting hole and well-loosened, nutritious soil. After planting, water sufficiently so that the roots can establish themselves well.
Stand and soil
The right location varies by species and affects flowering and growth.
- Most ornamental shrubs grow best in a sunny to semi-shaded spot
- Well-drained soil prevents root problems
- Shelter from strong winds promotes even growth
Care during the year
- Water regularly during dry periods, especially for young plants
- Mulch around the foot helps retain moisture and reduce weeds
- In spring, light fertilisation supports healthy growth and flowering
Pruning and maintenance
Pruning depends on the type of flowering.
- Prune spring flowers after flowering
- Summer flowering plants can be pruned in early spring
- Remove dead or damaged branches to keep the shrub vital
With proper care, ornamental shrubs provide long-lasting flowering, structure and a lively garden all year round.
