We suggest starting these bare root perennials in pots for best results prior to planting in the ground:

Steps for planting bare root perennials in the ground:

1. Identify the top part of the plant and the crown of the plant. The crown is where all the roots come together and where growth will come from. The crown should be at ground level or slightly above at planting time.
2. Dig a hole using a hand shovel, shovel, or bulb drill. The hole should be 2 times the width of the roots when they are spread out. The depth will vary based on the size of the root system. However, keep in mind the crown should be at or slightly above soil level, this will help determine the planting depth.
3. Spread the roots out in the planting hole. Add the soil you removed from the hole back into the planting area to cover the roots. As the roots shift around, you may need to add soil under the roots to make sure the top of the plant is not buried too deep. Fill the hole with soil until it is even with the ground.
4. Add water to the planting location. If the soil settles after watering consider adding more soil to the planting location.
5. Add mulch to retain moisture.
6. Monitor the planting location to make sure the soil is moist but not saturated.
