Growing Information
Planting Perennial Roots:
It is very important to plant as soon as possible after you receive your roots. If you need to store the roots for a short time before planting, open the plastic bags to let air circulate. Store in slightly moist peat moss in a cold, but not freezing, location until you can plant. They can also be placed in pots of soil if outdoor planting will be delayed for more than 2 weeks. Use any peat-based potting soil and pots with drainage holes.
Before planting, soak bare-root perennials in water for a few hours. Unless otherwise specified, bare-root perennials are usually planted with the crown (where the shoots meet the roots) an inch below the soil surface. Firm soil gently to eliminate air pockets and water in well. Mark the area clearly since it may be a while before the plant shows itself.
Planting Boneset:
Boneset prefers moist, rich soil that does not dry out. Consider amending the soil with organic matter to improve its quality and ensure good drainage. Dig a hole that is only as deep and wide as the root. Plant with the crown (where the shoots meet the roots) an inch below the soil surface. Firm soil gently to eliminate air pockets and water thoroughly. Space about 16-30" apart.
