Planting Perennials
Perennials are available throughout the growing season, starting in early spring from seeds, bulb, or rhizome form, to potted perennials by early April (most years). New or newly grown perennials should be planted after all danger of frost is gone in the spring. Perennials are adaptable but should be planted in preferred soil and location as specified on tag or from research. Remove from pot, tease roots if root bound, and set in pre-dug hole, back fill with soil and press firmly around root ball to ensure good soil to root contact.
