Info

In this image, a bare-root plant has been set at the proper depth and is ready to be repacked with duff. Set the plant so that the tip of the white, pointed bud evident in this image lies just below the surface when you are finished.
The finished plant with unrotted leaves spread back over the roots once they have been backfilled with duff. By choosing a suitable spot, disturbing the soil horizons as little as possible and locating the roots at the proper depth, I have maximized this plant’s chances for success. Other than a good watering or two to settle the soil, no additional water or supplements are needed. The same plant the following spring with healthy leaves but no flowers. They are stiff and just pale enough to let me know they are receiving enough light.
