And don't overlook the classic charm of Roses, their delicate petals exuding romance and grace in every bloom.
Planting and Pruning Shrubs
For optimal results, plant your shrubs in early spring or early autumn, when the soil is still warm. This allows them to establish strong roots before the harsher weather arrives. When it comes to pruning, the timing varies depending on the type of shrub. Generally, prune spring-flowering shrubs after they bloom, and summer-flowering ones in late winter or early spring.
