Buy shrubs online from a state nursery that actually knows your soil and climate.
Deciduous Shrubs for Sale
A deciduous shrub earns its spot in the landscape by changing with the seasons: fresh green leaves in early spring, vibrant blooms through summer, and often brilliant fall color before winter dormancy. Think hydrangea panicles fading to rose, butterfly bush humming with pollinators, or a row of viburnum glowing red in October. These woody plants work beautifully as a hedge, focal point, or mixed-border companion, and most handle full sun to partial shade across our region.
Evergreen Shrubs for Sale
An evergreen shrub holds its leaves through every Capital Region winter, giving your outdoor space structure when perennials and ornamental grasses have gone to sleep. From dense boxwood hedges to sprawling junipers and broadleaf evergreen plant varieties like rhododendron, this category is the easiest way to build a privacy screen or foundation planting that looks intentional year-round. Most are low-maintenance once established, with root systems that handle our clay-heavy soil well.
Flowering Shrubs for Sale
Flowering shrubs bring the show: bright yellow flowers on forsythia announcing early spring, azalea shrubs erupting in pink and coral, hydrangea mopheads all summer, and butterfly bush covered in butterflies into September. They pair beautifully with perennials in borders and along garden beds, and many are fast-growing plants that fill in within a season or two. Choose a native plant option to support local wildlife, or pick classic ornamentals for pure curb appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Early spring (as soon as the soil is workable) and early fall are the ideal planting windows. Cool temperatures and steady rainfall help root systems establish before summer heat or hard winter arrives. Container-grown shrubs can go in from late spring through early fall as long as you water consistently, but dormant-season planting in late winter and fall tends to deliver the highest survival rate.
Yes. Container shrubs ship throughout the growing season, arrive already rooted in soil, and can go in the ground any time it isn’t frozen. Each product page lists its current shipping format.
We now ship to USDA zones within the 2-day transit zone as indicated on the map. For more details, refer to the map and product pages, which list the hardiness zone range for each shrub to confirm it will handle your winter before purchasing.
Water deeply two to three times per week through the first season — new plants need steady moisture while their roots settle in. Mulch two to three inches deep around the base (keeping mulch off the stems) to lock in water and even out soil temperature. Hold off on pruning the first year, and skip heavy fertilizer until the shrub puts on strong new growth.
Check the mature width on each product page. For a solid privacy screen, plant shrubs at about two-thirds of their mature width apart so they grow into a continuous hedge. For foundation planting or looser borders, space them at their full mature width so each shrub keeps its shape.
