Unpack immediately upon arrival and give them a little water if needed. These plants will establish themselves without difficulty and will provide a glorious display in their first year. It is advisable with trailing plants to avoid an overexposed location as severe winter conditions can often kill them. Water regularly and make sure soil does not become too dry.
