Flowering shrubs are especially useful in parts of your garden prone to soil erosion. Their deep roots help to hold banks in place for years, preventing them from slipping and reducing surface run-off after rain storms. This property makes them especially helpful in dry climates prone to sudden flooding. Roots penetrate deep into the soil below, anchoring it to nearby rocks and preventing sandy dirt from being swept away.
Most flowering shrubs require a minimum of care and remain resilient, even during harsh climates. These plants add to the overall well-being of your garden, especially when combined with other species from different categories. For example, you could combine the fragrant flowers of the Witch Hazel, which blooms in late winter, with the White Dogwood Tree, which flowers at other times of the year, keeping your outdoor spaces looking stunning in every season.

Easy to Grow
Soak and Hydrate Shrub Roots
To plant bare root shrubs, start by soaking the roots in water for several hours to rehydrate them. While they soak, dig a wide hole that's twice as large as the root spread but only as deep as the roots reach—this prevents settling.
Use Soil From Hole Dug to Plant
Create a mound of soil at the bottom of the hole to support the roots and position the shrub so the crown is just at the soil level mark. Spread the roots evenly over the mound, backfill the hole with native soil, and gently tamp it down to eliminate air pockets.
Water Regularaly Until Acclimated
Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to hold in moisture and regulate temperature. Be sure to keep the soil consistently damp during the establishment period.
Grow Tips For Success
Grow Tips For Shrub Success
Keep the soil around the base evenly moist, especially during the first growing season—this helps the roots settle in and stretch out. Don’t rely on overhead sprinklers; instead, water slowly at the root zone so the moisture soaks deep.
Mulch is a Shrub's Best Friend
it keeps weeds down, locks in moisture, and buffers the roots from temperature swings. Just don’t pile it up against the stem. Look for signs of stress, like yellowing leaves or drooping branches, and adjust your watering as needed. Avoid heavy pruning the first year;
let the plant focus on growing strong roots before shaping it. If it’s a flowering shrub, don’t expect a full show right away—it needs time.
With patience and a bit of attention, your new shrub will take off and reward you season after season.
