Growing Information
Upon Arrival:
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:
Plant in full sun to part sun in loamy to humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. They need good soil and regular moisture for best performance. The crowns and roots should also never be exposed as this can cause the growth tips to dry out which can stunt or prevent new growth. Plant with the top of the crown about 1 to 2" below the soil so that the crown and roots are completely covered. Space 18-24" apart. Mulch about 1" deep after planting.
