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.

Sedum
'Sunkissed'
stonecrop
Sedum 'Sunkissed' is a most unusual, and highly sought-after sedum cultivar. Grey-green succulent leaves, which have slightly serrated edges, are held on short, uniform stems. In summer and autumn, flattened clusters of small, pale green buds open out to form heads of unique white and cream-yellow star-shaped flowers. If left, these flowers are followed by rusty red seed capsules. Sedum 'Sunkissed' will brighten any border. It will also add a touch of ‘calm’ to a hot or mixed border. The flowers will be a magnet for bees, bumble bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
It’s an upright plant, yet compact at just 40-50cm or so high, making it ideal for the front of a bed or border. It will also make a fine specimen plant in a patio container.It may be grown in full sun or part shade.
As if all this was not enough, Hylotelephium telephium 'Sunkissed'ᴾᴮᴿ is highly tolerant of dry soils—and even drought—and its flowers may be cut for indoor decoration. It truly is a must-have plant!

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.
