  • A photo would be helpful, but are you saying you only planted it 4 weeks ago? In the ground? Does it look healthy? – Bamboo Mar 10 '20 at 19:38

There is a saying regarding woody plants: First year, they sleep; second year, they creep; third year, they leap. In other words No growth the first year, a little growth the second year, and typical growth (or slightly better than typical) the third year. Seeing no growth on any shrub four weeks after planting is typical and normal.
