am new gardener is the bottom of the bare root where the new growth is thanks
Hi Newbe
Can you give us a bit more information please - what sort of plant are you talking about?
the plant i am planting is erngium sea holly blue steel
The roots will all come from a central point. This point needs to be at soil level, with the bunch of roots splayed out beneath it, and then cover with soil. Water in well.
I imagine that you have something that looks a bit like this (it's a different sort of eryngium but the theory's the same)
Plant your eryngium so that the top of the soil comes between the -1" and the 0" line on the picture - is that what you needed to know?
Ooh thats good , Dove. thats what I meant.
thanks for your help i understand now
Glad we could help - if there's anything else you want to know any time just ask
You've chosen a lovely plant.
