• Plants will actually be fine sitting in their containers for an entire season, and possibly longer depending on the care given.  We recommend keeping plants in a partially shaded location and watering daily until they are ready to be planted.

• The depth of the hole you dig should be equal to the amount of potting mix on the plant.  When planted in the ground, the crown should sit even or slightly lower than the surrounding soil to prevent water from running away from the plant rather than towards it.
• Prior to planting, make sure to tease out any root-bound plants that may have outgrown their container. Mildly rootbound plants can be loosened by hand, or tougher root balls can be separated by cutting vertically into the root ball on all sides. This little damage will not kill the plant, it will encourage new roots to spread outward instead of continuing to girdle inward.

• The beauty of native plants is that when site selection is chosen correctly, they require no additives once established.  That means no fertilizer or compost should be applied. Hopefully you have done your research or consulted with someone experienced who has helped you pick the right plants for your location to create a truly sustainable landscape. These species evolved to exist on this landscape without previous intervention and will continue to do so without it. 

 

• Adding compost to your planting site will not harm the plants but is not always required.

 

• Mulching your new planting site will help with water retention, weed suppression, and insulation for the roots during cooler months.

• This depends heavily on the weather. Cooler temperatures and moist temperatures in the spring will allow for almost no watering maintenance, while hot dry temperatures in July may require almost daily watering. It's generally better to overwater rather than underwater in the first few weeks of establishment.
