Other perennials

Bare-root perennials are perennial plants that are supplied without a pot and without soil around the roots. They are usually dug up during their dormant period in spring or autumn. This method of delivery makes transport easier, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than with potted plants.

Upon receipt, the plants must be planted as soon as possible to prevent the roots from drying out. They grow best in well-draining, nutritious soil. When planting, the roots are spread wide in the planting hole and pressed down firmly with soil, after which sufficient water is given.

Many popular garden plants are sold bare-root, including hostas, peonies, irises, and daylilies. Perennials return every year because the roots remain alive underground, even when the above-ground parts die back in the winter.

Bare-root perennials are popular because of their strong growth, long lifespan, and attractive price.

Frequently asked questions about Other perennials

1. How fast do bare-root perennials grow after planting?

Most bare-root perennials begin to form new roots and shoots within a few weeks, depending on temperature and humidity. Some species bloom as early as the first season, while others first strengthen their root system.

2. Should I give bare root perennials extra water?

Yes, regular watering is important, especially immediately after planting. Keep the soil slightly moist until the plant is well established. However, avoid prolonged wet soil to prevent root rot.

3. Are bare-root perennials hardy?

Most bare-root perennials are very hardy. During the winter, the above-ground parts often die back, but the plant remains alive underground and sprouts again in the spring.

4. Can I combine bare-root perennials with other garden plants?

Certainly. Bare-root perennials combine well with ornamental grasses, shrubs, and flower bulbs. By combining different flowering times, you create a colorful garden that remains attractive for multiple seasons.

5. Why are perennials delivered without a pot?

Bare-root delivery helps transport the plant while dormant and reduces the use of plastic pots and potting soil. As a result, the plants are packaged more sustainably and are often more affordably priced than pot-grown alternatives.
