Tennessee Wholesale Nursery shows how to plant bare-root perennials in four steps: dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, point roots down, backfill gently without compacting, and water immediately. Shallow planting or compacted soil stunts growth.

Tennessee Wholesale Nursery presents: How to Plant Bare Root Perennials. First, dig a hole twice the size of the plant's root ball. Make sure the roots are facing down. If you're not sure, don't stress too much, the plant will find its way. Don't force the roots into a hole that's too shallow, as this will stunt growth. Next, place the soil firmly around around the roots, but avoid compacting the soil. This will also stunt growth. After you've planted the root, immediately water and water regularly for the next few days. After that, nature will do the rest. You can find bare root perennials and much more on our website at TNNursery.net.
