When to plant Garden Ready Perennial Plug Plants

Garden ready perennial plug plants can be planted at any time during the growing season, from spring through to autumn. Planting in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) is ideal as it allows the plants to establish before the extreme temperatures of summer or winter.

How to Plant Garden Ready Perennial Plug Plants

To plant garden ready perennial plug plants, select a location with well-drained soil and the appropriate sunlight for the specific variety. Prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating compost or well-rotted manure. Dig a hole just big enough for the plug, place the plant in the hole, and firm the soil around it gently. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Ensure proper spacing between plants to allow for growth and air circulation.
