Growing at a glance…
Dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. If planting in pots, fill a large pot halfway with potting soil and then make a well in the middle. Do this until the top of the soil from the plant is just below the top of the pot. Wedge in the plant by adding soil to the gaps in the hole, firming down the surface to ensure it’s in place, and water well.
