When to plant Evergreen Shrubs

Evergreen shrubs can be planted at any time of year, but the best times are in spring or autumn when the soil is moist and temperatures are moderate. This helps the plants establish roots before the extremes of summer heat or winter cold.

How to Plant Evergreen Shrubs

To plant evergreen shrubs, choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth. Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring the root collar is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Evergreen shrubs grow at varying rates depending on the species. Some may grow rapidly, adding a few feet per year, while others grow slowly. Proper care, including regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding, can enhance growth rates and health.
