Planting and start
Deciduous shrubs are best planted in autumn or early spring, when the plant is dormant. 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 affects growth and flowering.
- Most deciduous shrubs grow well in a sunny to semi-shaded spot
- Well-drained soil prevents wet feet
- Nutritious soil supports rich flowering and healthy growth
Care during the year
- Water regularly during dry periods, especially in young plantings
- Mulch around the base helps retain moisture and improves soil structure
- In spring, light fertilisation supports growth
Pruning and maintenance
Pruning varies by species and flowering time.
- Prune spring flowers after flowering
- Summer-flowering plants can be cut back in early spring
- Remove old, dead or crossing branches to keep the shrub vital
With the right care, deciduous shrubs create a garden that continues to surprise every season, offering plenty of life and colour.
