Planting your bare roots

Unpack promptly and keep roots from drying out before planting. Choose a shaded location with fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Plant with the growing buds facing upward and the roots covered with soil. Water gently after planting to settle the soil.

Care and establishment

Keep soil evenly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. A layer of mulch helps retain moisture. Allow time for the plants to establish; Solomon's seal develops clumps and spreads through underground rhizomes. Leave healthy foliage in place through the growing season and remove spent stems as needed.
