Plants look Dry or Foliage appears Lackluster: Sometimes plants may
appear dried out and wilted after the voyage. Do not despair. When this
happens the foliage may look lackluster but the rootstock is still perfectly
healthy and alive. To plump your plants back up, water them and wait 5 minutes
and then water them again. This will generally rehydrate them. Keep these
plants well-watered until you can re-plant them into larger containers or in
the garden within the next week. If plants arrive dry, it is often because the
roots have outgrown the small shipping pots and need more room to grow; roots
tend to dry out quickly in small containers. Your plants are very much alive
and when you transplant them into larger pots or the earth, they will start
growing quickly! So, re-plant them as soon as possible. Remove any yellow or
brown foliage. If a lot of the plant’s foliage has yellowed, you may cut the
foliage back to just above the soil line. This will give your plant a chance
to restart, and it encourages bushier, thicker growth.
Time to Plant! Water your plants immediately after taking them out of the
box. Give them enough water so that the soil appears damp and water trickles
out the bottom of the pot.Your plants are now ready to be replanted. Follow
the planting guide inside for detailed instructions on how to most effectively
plant your new plants.
First Year Maintenance: For perennials, the first year (or sometimes two)
will require additional maintenance. During the first season of growth, even
if the plant is known to be drought-tolerant, it is very important to water
your plants on a regular basis, meaning up to 3-4 times per week. When plants
are in their infancy stage, they need to be watered by their caretaker until
they’ve had a chance to build a strong enough root system to subsist on their
own. If you are experiencing severe heat, drought like conditions, or your
plants appear consistently droopy, you may need to water your plants almost
every day.

come back each year?! These Sweet Series Hardy Gerbers are perennials in the

Plant Caretaking
Upon Arrival: Please take plants out of the box immediately and remove
any shipping materials from around the plants. Give them some water and place
them in a warm sunny area for 1-2 days before replanting. Pull away any yellow
or brown leaves that may have occurred.
Planting Depth & Spacing: Dig a deep enough hole so that the entire plant
easily fits into the hole and the top of the soil line of your plant is flush
with the top of the soil in the hole you have dug. It is important that the
soil line of your plant does not protrude above the soil line in the ground or
container. Space plants about 15-18” apart in the garden.
Potted Plants: Make sure your container has holes to allow excess water
to drain. Pot one plant in an 8-12” container or place multiple together in a
larger container.
Soil Preparation: If you soil is clayish, amend it with standard potting
mix to improve drainage.
Watering: To determine if your plant needs water, put your finger in the
top of the soil and if the top inch is dry, it is time to water. It is
important to make sure young plants do not experience long periods of dryness.
However, they also do not like soggy conditions. It is important to make sure
plants get regular watering every few days for the first 3-6 months.
Fertilizer: Use Roberta’s Bounty a couple weeks after planting and then
once or twice a month all summer long.
Pet Considerations: Ensure your pets do not consume plants.
Deadheading: These a blooming machines! In order to get the most out of
your plants, when the flowers start to turn brown, cut the flower stem off as
close to the base of the plant as possible. This will encourage plenty of
fresh new flowers to emerge.
Winterizing: After the first heavy frost, cut back to about 3” above the
soil. Add a layer of mulch on top to provide extra winter warmth. If your
winters are very cold, bring plants indoor and keep in a cool, dry area. In
this location, give your plants water about once a month, very seldom.
Dividing: You may subdivide these plants every 3 years or so, if they
have begun to outgrow their space.
Planting Steps
Step 1 Remove plants from their box and take off other packing materials.
Open your box outside or somewhere you don’t mind getting messy, as some of
the soil may have been shaken loose in transit.
Step 2 Check if your plant is thirsty. They probably need a nice drink of
water after their voyage. If the plant feels light or the soil is dry to the
touch, give your plants a watering.
Step 3 Allow your plants time to adjust to their new home before re-
planting by placing them in a warm sunny spot for 1-2 days. Then they will be
ready for re-planting with renewed vigor.
Step 4 Pull away or cut off any yellow or brown leaves, or any old
flowers – this is normal.
Step 5 Transplant into the garden or containers as soon as evening
temperatures stay above 40F. Dig holes the width of the root ball and deep
enough so that the original top of the soil is flush with the new soil line.
Water the new location before and after planting your plant. This will help
the young roots stay hydrated. Once you’ve placed your plant in the hole, fill
in the rest of the hole with extra soil or potting mix, ensuring the entire
root system is covered with soil.
