What Can Bushes or Shrubs Do?
Bushes or Shrubs are sold by Leif in his Flower Shop found in the town plaza! Bushes and Shrubs are similar to flowers and trees in the way they function in New Horizons.
You Can't Pick Their Flowers
While all Bushes grow a type of flower (or berry in Holly's case), you can't pick them to use as DIY or decorations.
Move Bushes (Shrubs) with a Shovel
Like both Trees and Flowers, Bushes can be moved with a shovel.
Snails Appear on Bushes and Shrubs
Like in New Leaf, Snails appear on Bushes in rainy weather.
This might mean that having lot of Bushes will make it harder for other Bugs to spawn when it rains, so keep that in mind when planting them!
How to Get Bushes and Shrubs
| How to Grow Bushes | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Buy Shrub Starts from Leif |
| 2 | Plant the Shrub Starts |
| 3 | Wait for the Shrubs to grow! |
1. Buy Shrub Starts from Leif
To grow Bushes, you first need to buy Shrub Starts form Leif's Garden Shop.
2. Plant the Shrub Starts
After buying Shrub Starts, access your inventory and plant the Shrubs!
3. Wait for the Shrubs to Grow!
After planting the Shrubs, wait for three days for them to bloom. Unlike Flowers, they don't need Watering Cans to grow — so just sit back and relax!
Bushes and Shrubs Take 3 Days to Grow
 First Day |
 Second Day |
 Third Day |
 Fourth Day |
Flowers on Bushes bloom only in certain seasons, so refer to the list above to see what Bush blooms when!
Bushes and Shrubs Don't Have Hybrids
Unfortunately, Bushes and Shrubs don't spread naturally or cross-pollinate, so the only way to get more is to buy them from Leif, and only the colors available at the shop can be grown.
