Successful Perennial Planting Guide

To plant bare root perennials, start by soaking the roots in water for an hour or two to rehydrate them. While they soak, dig a hole twice as wide as the root spread and deep enough to let the crown sit just at or slightly above ground level.

Preparing the Soil For Bare Root Perennials

Make a small mound in the center of the hole, spread the roots gently over it, and backfill with soil, firming it gently as you go to eliminate air pockets. Water well after planting to help the roots settle in. Avoid fertilizing right away—let the plant focus on root establishment first. Keep the soil moist (but not soggy) for the first few days while the plants adjusts and acclimates.

Tips For Optimal Growth for Perennials

After your perennials have taken root and begun to grow on their own, care becomes more hands-off. You don’t need to water them constantly—just check the soil now and then, and if it’s dry a few inches down, give them a good soak.

Mulching Perennials

Mulching helps, especially during hot weather, but don’t let it smother the base of the plants. In spring, trim back anything dead from the previous year. Prune or pinch back the faded and dying blooms during the season, though it’s not always necessary. Every few years, if they look crowded or stop blooming like they used to, dig them up and split the clumps. Doing that gives them space to breathe and keeps them going strong.
