Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Bare Root Bedding Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.
Bare root bedding plants are best planted from late autumn to early spring, typically between November and March. This period allows the plants to establish their root systems while they are dormant, leading to robust growth and flowering in the warmer months.
To plant bare root bedding plants, select a well-drained location with appropriate sunlight based on the plant variety. Prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating compost or well-rotted manure. Soak the bare roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide and deep enough to accommodate the roots without bending them. Place the plant in the hole, spread the roots out, and fill the hole with soil, firming gently around the base. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Bare root bedding plants begin to establish roots immediately after planting. Depending on the variety and growing conditions, you can expect visible growth within a few weeks. Flowering typically occurs in the spring or summer following planting, as the plants take advantage of their strong, well-developed root systems.
Growing bare root bedding plants offers several benefits. They are often more cost-effective than potted plants, and their dormant state makes them easier to handle and plant. Bare root plants establish quickly, leading to vigorous growth and flowering. They are ideal for filling large areas and creating uniform displays. Additionally, bare root plants typically have a wider selection of varieties available.
Bare root bedding plants can be grown in a variety of garden settings, including beds, borders, and containers. Their versatility allows them to be used for mass plantings, creating uniform and visually appealing displays. They can thrive in different soil types and conditions, provided they are planted in well-drained soil and receive adequate sunlight and water.
