Planting young plants
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant young plants and seedlings straight into their growing position, in full sunshine to a partislly shaded site. The soil should be acid to neutral and should be moist but well drained. Ensure the prepared bed is free of weeds to prevent the plants from having to compete for moisture.
