With the April 23 update, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has introduced Leif, the friendly gardening sloth. Leif will periodically visit your island to sell rare flower seeds as well as the newly added shrubs. While shrubs do bloom flowers, they work differently to the regular flowers you have on your island. We outline everything you need to know about shrubs below.
While Leif's arrival also signals the start of the new Nature Day event, shrubs aren't exclusive to Nature Day. Leif has been added to the rotating cast of special visitors that can come to your island on any given day, so keep an eye out for him. For more gardening tips in New Horizons, be sure to read our full hybrid flower crossbreeding guide.

We're still discovering each shrub type's blooming season, but based on Animal Crossing: New Leaf's shrubs, we can infer the relative seasons. We'll continue to update this list as we confirm each shrub's seasonality and exact dates where applicable. Note that these seasons will be relative to your location, so azaleas are a spring shrub in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
