Shrubs Questions
What shrubs make a good privacy hedge in Zone 9b?+
Several evergreen shrubs form dense screens in Northeast Florida; choose by mature height, sun, and how much trimming you want to do.
How far apart should I plant hedge shrubs?+
Spacing depends on the species and mature width; closer spacing fills in faster, while proper spacing keeps plants healthy long term.
When should I prune flowering shrubs?+
Prune most flowering shrubs right after they bloom so you do not remove the buds for next season.
How much maintenance do shrubs need?+
It depends on the type. Some shrubs need only light yearly shaping, while formal hedges need regular trimming to stay dense and neat.
Which shrubs work for a low-maintenance yard?+
Several evergreen shrubs hold their shape with little trimming in Zone 9b. Tell us your light and space and our team can point you to easy-care options.
