Planting shrubs in spring

Early spring is a great time for planting all shrubs, especially after your last freeze. The plants can establish quickly while the temperatures are still cool. Trees and Shrubs should be selected for a site based on the ability of the plant to tolerate the soil, light, climate, and residential conditions present at that location.

If you plant in the late spring and summer, expect the shrub to have a higher water demand until it has a chance to root out into your soil. Initially, the original ball of dirt is the only area from which your shrub can get water.
