Plants by Post.

Bare root shrubs and trees, yes of course, in the dormant season....so have I and well worth it too. I have purchased scores of fruit trees for example....apples,pears, peaches, plums etc. ...I would never choose to buy them potted. Bigger plants, bigger roots etc. than anything in containers

However, I was referring essentially to perennials, herbaceous etc.......all
I suggest is that folks compare the potted versions with the bare root ones. In my experience in this regard potted plants are superior

 

Oops! Sorry Woo..... bare root roses too. Can you forgive me?

 

I would thoroughly recomend buying bare root perennials. These are a few I bought last Winter..........

Iris " Black Gamecock "




Salvia " Blue Lips "



These were received in December, potted up and left in a cold greenhouse until Spring when they were planted out into their permanent positions.

 

You are such a kind owl Woo

 

I cover with fleece for 24 hours or so.
Bigger plants are treated similarly
