Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comWe just purchased a clethra shrub and are wondering if it should be put in the ground right away. It is currently late September and we live in Maine, zone 5b. Would it be better to keep it indoors until spring? The shrub is 4 feet tall and 21 inches wide.
