Animal Crossing New Horizons: Shrub Season Guide And When To Buy

Animal Crossing New Horizons Player Standing Next To Azalea Bushes

In order to fully decorate your island, you might want to make use of many different things that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has to offer. Along with the multitude of flowers, furniture items, and fences, you'll also get the opportunity to plant Shrubs! These are solid bushes that can't be walked through like flowers can and come in a number of different varieties. In this guide, we provide all the details that you need in order to collect every type and spread them out across the island.

How Leif's Stall Works

Leif appears as one of the random travelling merchants that can come to your island on weekdays.

When he and his cart are in the town square, you'll be able to purchase Shrubs, flowers, and pumpkin starts from him. The flowers he is stocked up on are randomly selected. As for Shrubs, Leif will be carrying whichever Shrub variety is in season right now (in the northern hemisphere), and then a random other Shrub variety.
