How to Make Flowing Shrubs

A flowing shrub will usually start to grow the year after it is planted in the yard. Some limbs on the shrub will grow faster than others giving th plant an uneven or thin look. Proper pruning will make a flowering shrub grow in a thicker more robust manner.

Difficulty: Easy

1. 

   Gather all of the tools needed and go out to the shrub.
