What kind of bushes
Hi Ginger,
Oh, here comes that winter weather. :( Personally, I leave most of my bushes along, but it depends on the bush. Some bushes make it fine though the winter. Some will die down themselves and regrow next spring. Some will benefit from a burlap cover due to harsh weather and some should be pruned. What kind of bushes do you have? Do you have the tag the came on the bushes? We could be more helpful if you let us know the kind of bush you need to get ready for winter. :)
Some helpful links for you on how and when to cut back your bushes! Good luck!
