Planting & Care Instructions

• Soak bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting to encourage strong establishment.

• Select a full sun location receiving 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

• Prepare well-draining soil (pH 5.5–6.5) and enrich with compost or aged organic matter.

• Plant crowns at soil level — do not bury the crown. Spread roots outward for best growth.

• Space plants 12–18 inches apart, and allow 3–4 feet between rows for good ventilation.

• Water regularly to maintain evenly moist soil; water early in the day to minimize disease pressure.

• Remove flowers in the first growing season to build stronger roots and maximize future yields.

• Expect large, delicious harvests beginning in the second year, with peak production in late spring.
