Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Bring the shaded areas of your garden to life with this special little Epimedium 'White Hart'. Forming a wonderfully neat and lush ground cover of small heart-shaped leaves which are accented with an earthy maroon edge, for most of the year the foliage alone is a fabulous feature for shade. But then watch it in spring as it leaps into action with a profusion of dainty white blooms that look like a herd of white deer bounding through a miniature green landscape!
Part of the pleasure of Epimedium 'White Hart' is the fact that the flowers remain prominently above the young foliage where they can be seen and enjoyed. The pure white flowers are a highlight for the more dimly-lit areas of the garden, emerging in spring and hanging on through to midsummer, then repeating every year. Over the years this hardy perennial spreads to form a dense ground cover which not only looks lovely but also suppresses weeds. Plant them in an area with cool, moist soil and enjoy their easy going, low-maintenance nature.

Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
