Transplanting Instructions:

Plant in well draining soil in 3 gallon or larger container. Keep root 1-2" below soil surface, allowing up to 50% of the eyes to remain above soil. Once planted, water immediately and apply a broad spectrum fungicide to avoid crown and root rot.

Homeowner Planting and Maintenance Tips:

Established roots are easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. May not bloom if planted as a bare root in the first year.
