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.
'Entrapment'
daylily
What a lovely plant Hemerocallis 'Entrapment' is! You will be enraptured by its large, velvety, dusky mauve to lavender purple trumpet flowers. Each petal, which has a ruffled, or pie-crust edge, possesses paler markings along its centre. These colours then blend toward a throat of golden yellow. Daylily 'Entrapment' is known for its blooms, often as much as 15cm across, and which come in astonishing number; in early summer it covers itself in flower, really packing the garden with colour. And, even better, it often sends out a second flush of bloom towards the end of the summer.
Hemerocallis 'Entrapment' was first introduced to the gardening public around 20 years ago, so it has stood the test of time. Its thin, arching, sword-shaped foliage is mid-green, lush and grows to a height of around 60cm. 'Entrapment' is a sturdy, strong, easy-to-care-for perennial—so it will come back year after year. Plant it in full sun or part-shade.

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.
