ACNH shrubs and bushes for island landscaping
Shrubs fill the space between flowers and trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Their leaves remain useful for landscaping while each variety has its own flowering season.
Choose a shrub for the season
Azaleas, hydrangeas, hibiscus, tea olives, camellias and holly flower at different times. You can plant them outside their blooming season and keep the same landscaping footprint year-round.
Buy starts from Leif
Leif sells shrub starts and rotates the varieties available during his visits and at his shop on Harv's Island. A planted start grows into a full shrub over the following days.
Use holly for winter color
Holly keeps a compact hedge shape and develops red berries during its blooming season. Check the ACNH holly bush page when that is the exact plant needed for a build.
Plan spacing before delivery
Shrubs can frame paths, buildings and garden edges. Browse ACNH shrubs, count the spaces in the planned area and order the quantity needed for the finished layout.
Common questions
