Planting and start
Shrubs are best planted in autumn or early spring. Make sure you have a spacious planting hole and a well-loosened, nutritious soil. Give plenty of water after planting so that the roots can establish themselves well.
Stand and soil
The right location depends on the species.
- Flowering shrubs often grow best in a sunny spot
- Evergreen shrubs do well in sun to semi-shade
- Deciduous shrubs are generally broadly applicable
- Well-drained soil prevents wet feet
Care during the year
- Water regularly, especially in dry periods and on young plants
- Mulch around the base helps retain moisture and reduce weeds
- In spring, light fertilisation supports healthy growth
Pruning and maintenance
Pruning shrubs varies by type.
- Spring-flowering plants are pruned after flowering
- Summer-flowering plants can be cut back in early spring
- Remove dead or crossing branches to keep the plant vital
With proper care, shrubs provide a balanced, green garden with flowering and structure throughout the year.
