Hello,
I am planning to plant 1 gallon Bloomerang Lilac Shrubs in a zone 7 climate next week. I want to (at least eventually) add rubber mulch to the area they are planted. Is there a detriment to doing this right after I plant them? If so, about how long would I want to wait before covering with rubber mulch? I saw one comment that said to remove mulch from a plant that didn't take well, but not sure if maybe that's just because it was a smaller plant or if you have to give them some period of time to establish themselves before mulching. Also, I've read that you want to water for 4 weeks after planting but not too much. I'm planning on being away for 6 days a few days after I planned to plant these. Would it be advisable to water them well for a few days and then have to skip the water for the six days I'm gone, or to just leave them in the planters and plant them when I return. Thanks in advance!
