Bare Root Plants:
Before planting, soak the roots in a bucket of cold water for around an hour to rehydrate them after transit.

Choose a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots out naturally and deep enough so the crown (where the roots meet the stems) sits level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, gently firm around the plant to remove any air pockets, then water thoroughly to help settle the roots.

Keep the soil consistently moist while the plant establishes, especially during dry spells, but avoid leaving the ground waterlogged. Applying a layer of mulch around the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds, taking care not to cover the crown.

Bare Root Plants:
Don't be concerned if your bare root plant looks different from a potted plant. Supplied without soil while dormant, bare roots are an economical way to buy many popular garden plants and establish quickly once planted.

Each plant has been field grown before being carefully lifted and packed during the dormant season. Simply soak the roots in water for around an hour before planting into well-prepared soil, and they'll soon begin producing fresh growth as the weather warms.
