This product was shipped to you at the proper planting time for your area. However, sometimes Mother Nature will bring in an unexpected cold front. Ideal planting conditions are when the average high temperature is around 60°F and the low temperature does not drop down below 40°F.

For optimum results, plant as follows:

Spade or rototill the soil 12″ deep, and create a hole large enough to spread out the plant’s roots without bending them.
Place your bareroot in the hole so that the top sits about 1″ below the soil surface.
Refill the hole and firm the soil gently with your hands. (It’s always good to add organic matter to your soil. You can mix in dehydrated manure, garden compost, shredded leaves and/or peat moss.)
Water plants in lightly after planting. Apply a 2–4″ layer of mulch to promote moisture retention and maintain even garden soil temperatures.

Watering

Water plants in lightly after planting. Once growth starts to emerge in late spring, the plants need watered more frequently.
However, take care not to overwater. The soil should not be too soggy.

Mulching

Apply a 2–4″ layer of mulch to promote moisture retention and maintain even garden soil temperatures.

Weeding

Keep the area around your plants free of weeds. Weeds compete with all plants for food, water and light. Walk around the garden periodically and pull weeds.

Grooming

Feeding

Discontinue any fertilizers by early September to prepare your plants for winter dormancy

Winterizing

In the fall, when the leaves die back, trim the foliage so that about 2″ of it remains above the ground.
