1-3 Litre Shrubs FAQs

Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy 1-3 Litre Shrubs in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant 1-3 Litre Shrubs

1-3 litre shrubs can be planted throughout the year, provided the ground is not frozen or overly wet. However, the best times to plant are during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These milder periods allow the shrubs to establish their root systems before encountering the extremes of summer or winter.

How to Plant 1-3 Litre Shrubs

To plant 1-3 litre shrubs, start by choosing a suitable location based on the specific needs of the shrub, such as light and soil requirements. Prepare the planting area by digging a hole that is twice the width of the pot and just as deep. Gently remove the shrub from its pot, taking care to loosen any tightly bound roots. Position the shrub in the centre of the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil, firming it gently around the base, and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets and help the plant settle. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.
