November is an excellent time to plant shrubs for stunning spring color. While annuals and tender perennials may have died after the first frost, the ground is still viable for planting shrubs in most parts of the United States.
Suitable shrubs, such as downy serviceberry and bearberry, will establish their roots in the fall and produce stunning spring blooms. Native shrubs, like oakleaf hydrangeas, have adapted to North American climates and stand the best chance of overwintering well.
Planting shrubs in November gives your yard a touch of color come spring.
