Bailey from TN Nursery shows how to plant bare-root perennials using Virginia bluebell. Dig a hole deep enough to cover the roots, leave a few buds just above soil, position it away from wind and cold, tuck soil around the roots, and fertilize.

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I'm going to show you how to plant stuff. Now you plant stuff in the dirt, you don't do it in this paper. I'm just showing you how to do it. First thing you do is you look at your root and look for the buds. Now these buds are really, really prominent where it's becoming springtime. This is Virginia bluebell, and you just put it— dig you a hole that's deep enough so them— so the root won't show. You want a few of the buds sticking out but not too far because you don't want the roots to get wind damaged or anything like that, too cold. And you tuck it around the roots just like like it and fertilize it, and you're ready to go. Shop now at tnursery.net.
