Buy Flowering Shrubs Online, Delivered to Your Door
Grasshopper Gardens is a family-run online nursery shipping healthy flowering shrubs from our Capital Region fields to yards across the country. Our selection of blooming shrubs covers every corner of your outdoor space: spring-flowering shrubs for early color, summer-flowering shrubs that carry the show into fall, and ornamental shrubs with bark, berries, and foliage that earn their spot all year. Pick the flowering bush that fits your light and soil, and we’ll deliver it at the right planting window.
Spring-Flowering Lilacs and Fragrant Favorites
Few sights mark a Capital Region spring like a lilac shrub in full bloom. Sensation Lilac opens deep purple flowers edged in white, while compact Miss Kim Lilac shapes easily into a formal hedge. Gold Tide Forsythia starts the show with yellow flowers in early spring, and fragrant Buckley’s Quill Mockorange closes out late spring with pure white flowers. Each spring-blooming shrub sets its flower buds the previous growing season, so plant in full sun to part shade and prune right after bloom.

Hydrangeas and Summer-Flowering Shrubs
Summer-flowering shrubs pick up right where the lilacs leave off. Hydrangea arborescens varieties like Annabelle and Incrediball push enormous white flowers on new wood starting in early summer, while Limelight Hydrangea follows with lime-green blooms that age to pink through late summer. Black Knight Butterfly Bush pulls in pollinators with showy flower spikes in deep purple. A hard prune in late winter fuels vigorous growth, and with full sun and well-drained soil these bloomers stay low maintenance all growing season.
Ornamental Shrubs With Four-Season Interest
The best landscapes still look intentional in January. Arctic Fire Dogwood, a compact red-twig dogwood, trades its foliage for brilliant red stems that glow against the snow, and Winter Red Winterberry, a native shrub, holds bright berries that feed the birds all winter. New varieties like Ginger Wine Ninebark, a colorful deciduous shrub, add burgundy foliage and early summer flowers, while Roseum Elegans Rhododendron, an evergreen shrub, keeps its glossy leaves year-round and opens large pink flowers in late spring.
What Our Customers Are Saying
I have ordered quite a few plants on-line, some were bad experiences, others were quite good, but I have never received a rosebush as carefully packed as the one I got from Grasshopper Gardens. They obviously took my order very seriously. On top of it all, I received the plant so quickly, I didn’t even have time to follow the tracking information given. I was very impressed and obviously extremely satisfied!
Everyone at Grasshopper Gardens does a terrific job, whether it be treating the lawn, installing landscaping plants and sprinkler systems, or treating beds for weeds. Jonathan is no exception.
Roy and Zack did a lovely job planting flowers along our front garden beds. They chose plant groupings that are aesthetically pleasing, mixing colors and plant sizes. And they meticulously cleaned up everything once they had finished. We are very pleased with their work!
Frequently Asked Questions
Early spring and late fall give a new shrub the gentlest start. Soil temperatures stay warm enough for root growth while cooler air keeps stress off the top of the plant, so the root system settles in before summer heat or a deep freeze. We schedule shipments around the planting calendar in your area, and homeowners in our Capital Region service area can have our landscaping crews put the shrubs in the ground.
The usual culprits are pruning at the wrong time, too much shade, or a late frost that killed the flower buds. Spring bloomers like lilac and mock orange set buds on last year’s stems, so cutting them back in fall or winter removes next season’s flowers. Summer bloomers flower on new wood and should be pruned in late winter instead.
Match the pruning to the bloom time. Cut spring-flowering shrubs back right after they bloom, taking a few of the oldest stems out at ground level to push new growth. Prune summer-flowering shrubs in late winter, before the growing season starts. Thinning crowded stems also improves air circulation, which cuts down on fungal problems in humid summers.
Local delivery is free within our Capital Region delivery zone, and free pickup is available at our Gansevoort, NY nursery. Outside that zone, eligible shrubs ship by UPS Ground to 19 states across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest. Every product page lists a USDA hardiness zone range, so compare it against your zone on the map below before ordering.
Space shrubs so their mature widths just touch. A variety that spreads 5 feet should sit about 5 feet from its neighbor, center to center, or slightly closer if you’re shearing a formal hedge. Compact lilacs and hydrangeas can go 3 to 4 feet apart, while full-size varieties need 6 feet or more. That breathing room lets foliage dry quickly after rain, which keeps disease pressure down in humid summers.
Slide the shrub out of its container, and if it shipped in a plastic basket or rooting basket, take that off so the roots can grow into the surrounding soil. Set the root ball in a hole twice its width and no deeper than its height, water it in well, and spread mulch around the base while keeping it a few inches back off the stems. Planting and care directions come with every order, and our Capital Region landscaping crews can handle installation locally.
Contact us as soon as you notice a problem so our team can help diagnose it and work with you on a replacement. Shrubs returned within 5 days of arrival qualify for a refund.
