Steps for growing shrubs in container

Selecting container for shrubs
Choose a container large enough to give your shrub's roots room to grow and weighty enough to balance the top-heavy growth. If you intend to leave the shrub outside all year round, make sure the container is fully frost-proof.

Wooden half-barrels are the ideal container for large shrubs but the wood should be of good quality otherwise the wood will fall apart and the pot will break as the shrub grows.

Compost
Peat based multipurpose compost are not suitable for the growth of shrubs. Loam-based compost is the ideal ones as they are more capable of taking care of the nutrients.
