Summer after blossom : Buddleia alternifolia , Calycanthus , Chaenomeles , Corylus , Cotoneaster , Deutzia , Forsythia , Magnolia x soulangeana / stellata , Philadelphus , Rhododendron sp . , Ribes , Spirea x arguta / prunifolia / thunbergii , Syringa , Weigela . Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a hole twice the size of the root clump and deep enough to constitute at the same degree the shrub was in the container . If soil is pitiable , dig hole out even wide and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil amendment .
cautiously remove shrub from container and gently freestanding root . Position in shopping centre of hole , best side facing forward . Fill in with original soil or an amended mixed bag if need as described above . For big shrubs , ramp up a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If the plant is balled - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap , insert it down into hole , after you ’ve positioned bush . verify that all burlap is forget so that it wo n’t wick weewee away from rootball during hot , ironic periods . If man-made burlap , transfer if possible . If not possible , cut away or make prick to allow for roots to develop into the new stain . For big shrubs , build up a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If shrub is barren - root , look for a discolouration somewhere near the base ; this mark is probable where the dirt line was . If land is too sandy or too clayey , tot organic matter .
