TREE AND SHRUBSLeaf it to me

Caring for newly planted shurbs.?

Recently we planted several shrubs around the house and deck (Abelia, Loropetalum, Mini Crepe Myrtle, Pieris -Compacta, Greenspire Euonymus & Golden Euonymus). We live in Raleigh, NC and the weather has been extremely hot and dry. I was wondering how much and often I should water these new plants? What is the best method of watering (water just at the base of the plant or should I shower the entire plant)? Also, should they be watered at a certain time of the day.

Water in the morning, just before the sun comes up is optimal.
Watering in the evening, just after sundown is no good because plants do not take up water at that time and the water mostly evaporates away.
About two weeks after planting, you can cut back to every two to three days.
