Step 5 · Plant Flowers

Dig holes that are as deep as the plant's root ball and about twice as wide. Gently remove each flower plant from its nursery pot. If the roots are tightly bound (root-bound), carefully loosen them with your fingers or a trowel. Place the plant in the center of the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with the prepared soil, gently firming it around the base of the plant to eliminate air pockets. Repeat for all plants, maintaining the arranged spacing.
