What is a Bareroot,Plant Plug or Potted Plant

A bare root is the root of a plant in a dormant state,and depending on the species,will have eyes or sprouts. It is a plant that is sold with the roots exposed,rather than potted in soil. Bare roots are healthy and usually grow quickly depending on the species. A plant plug is the general term for seedlings or rooted cuttings that have been started in trays of individual cells. Plant plugs have healthy root systems and can be dormant or breaking dormancy. Plugs and bare roots are the most economical way to purchase perennial plants. A potted plant is one that is usually in a 4-6" pot and is well on its way to growing. We rarely offer larger potted plants but those we do offer are those that need a head start,like hydrangeas or other bush-type plants because of their longer growth time.

Arrival of Your Shipment • If you are unable to plant right away,we suggest the following: • Store your bare root or plug perennials for a short time at a temperature between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. A cool basement is perfect. • Open the boxes for good air circulation to discourage surface mold growth. (surface mold is not harmful to firm and otherwise healthy looking roots and can be rinsed away prior to planting) • Plant as soon as you can. (Do not over water your perennials.) Leave your bare roots in their package. If you notice the contents becoming dry,moisten with a spray bottle but do not soak the bag and packing material/soil. • Make sure you choose the right spot for your plant. • Plant according to tag instructions. • Make sure you follow moisture requirements for your new perennials. • Make sure when planting your bare root perennials that they are planted in the proper direction (root ball at the bottom). Some don't care but others do! As always,if you have any questions,please just shoot us an e-mail or call us toll-free and one of our experts will be happy to answer your questions!
