What are the best shrubs and perennials for Calgarys climate
The best options are hardy, drought tolerant varieties that can handle Calgarys freeze and thaw cycles. Common choices include spirea, potentilla, dogwood, ninebark, Karl Foerster grass, daylilies, hostas and coneflowers. Calgary Landscaping selects plants rated for Zone 3A and Zone 3B to ensure long term success.
Plantings that are Zone 4 may be OK in a sheltered location, but may die if we have a harsh winter or a lo of Chinooks that cycle free-thaw ground conditions.
When is the best time to plant shrubs and perennials in Calgary
Spring and early fall are ideal because the cool temperatures help roots establish without stress. Planting in summer is also possible with proper watering and soil preparation.
How do you ensure my new shrubs and perennials survive
We use premium soil blends, correct planting depth, and proper mulching.
Do shrubs and perennials need fertilizer after planting
Only a low nitrogen starter fertilizer or root stimulator should be used at planting. High nitrogen lawn fertilizers can harm young roots. Most shrubs and perennials benefit far more from healthy soil, mulch and consistent watering during the first year.
