| Hi Everyone,
I just got a pot of liatris and the plants are growing from ( I'll call them) bulbs partially above the soil, that BTW is very root bound. How should I plant them? Thanks in advance |

| I had the same problem a week ago! I just removed from the pot and removed the jumbled up mess around the outside. I used my finger to loosen up the roots as good as I could. I planted them with the top even with the ground. I think the corm should be covered with at least some soil. Here are some instructions I found for planting the corms... "Bury the corms no more than 2 inches below the soil line and less if you are using mulch." If you plant too deep, you will lose them! I'd be tempted to plant them similar to how they are in the pot. I hope someone from your zone will answer too! |
