First, find a location that receives plenty of full sunlight throughout the day and with well-draining soil conditions.

Next, plant your perennial's roots 1 to 2-inches below the soil level with the buds pointing upwards. Once your plant is secure, slowly back-fill around the plant's roots and compact the soil to avoid any air pockets.
