Shrubs are In Stock starting April ever year and we are always fully stocked in our nursery with fresh stock arriving weekly throughout the season.

Growing zones For shrubs are always top of mind at Carefree Lawn Center in Trenton, Michigan.

These shrubs thrive in growing zone 5a, zone 5b, zone 6a, zone 6b!

Michigan’s unique geography deeply impact the variety of growing zones in the state. A growing zone simply refers to the USDA’s determination of areas where certain plants are most likely to thrive, preferring to focus on minimal temperature ranges in which a plant can survive. Michigan has eight distinct growing zones, some of which cover only a few acres of land in the state. The growing zones move in bands inland, with the coldest temperatures at the center of each peninsula.

On the Lower Peninsula, temperatures can drop as low as -35°F in the north central areas of the peninsula, near Gaylord. On the outskirts of the Lower Peninsula, both northwards toward the coast and southwards toward Indiana and Ohio, temperatures will only drop to -10°F in places; although, most of the region experiences temperatures down as low as -15° to -20°F in zones 5b and 5a. The Upper Peninsula is similarly banded, though the coldest region is southwest of the Ottawa National Forest, where temperatures can drop as low as -40°F.

Certain Shrubs other big box stores carry aren’t ideal for your needs.
