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.
Out of season
Inject a bold splash of colour into your planting schemes with this bright bee-magnet If you like bright flowers, Monarda 'Pink Supreme' certainly has the edge you may be looking for. Also known as Bee Balm, the flowers are a favourite for bees and butterflies who just can’t resist the generously nectar-filled flowers. What’s more, with their vibrant punky flowers and aromatic foliage, they look and smell fantastic!
Love the fragrance of Earl Grey tea? Bergamot is the refreshing note you’ll be familiar with and emits from the lush green leaves of this lovely plant. Brush past them on a sunny day and you’ll be momentarily enveloped! This generous plant gives a lot and asks for very little in return. Monarda 'Pink Supreme' is fully hardy so it can be left to its own devices through winter, the following spring it will grow back, each year with more stems that the last.

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.
