The Right Start for Full Sun Shrubs
Shrubs are a great addition to any garden. They add color, texture and interest. When planting shrubs, it's important to give them a strong start.
Dig a hole that is the depth of the root ball and make sure there is enough spacing between plants.
You’ll also want to make sure to give your newly planted shrubs plenty of water to establish strong root systems.
First Year Care for Shrubs
Do not use fertilizer for the first year. Use a root stimulator instead. It promotes solid root growth to support the plant as it grows larger.
Feeding an Fertilizing for Shrubs
Woody plants like shrubs and trees do best with a slow releasing, low nitrogen fertilizer. A slow release fertilizer is important so that the plant is not forced to grow too fast while getting the nutrients that your shrubs will need.
