Prime planting conditions
From now until march, this is the optimum bare-root planting window. We plant bare-root plants during these months due to the plants being in a dormant state. This means that instead of using their energy to produce both leaves and flowers, the plants can channel their energy to create the strongest roots in preparation for the growing season ahead.

Traditionally grown in fields and open ground, bare-root plants therefore do not require to be stored within containers. This allows bare-root plants to be much easier to produce and easier to transport too, reducing both production and transportation costs.

Bare-root plants are a much more environmentally friendly way to establish plants throughout your landscape due to bare-root plants not requiring to be stored within any containers or plastic pots. So, if you’re looking to plant your garden in the most sustainable way then bare-root plants will be the best option for you and your garden.
Hardy and established
With bare-root plants growing in open spaces and not being constricted to a container, this allows the roots freedom and space to grow. Typically very mature and well-established, bare-root plants develop a very strong root system and are therefore traditionally found to be much more hardy and resilient plants.
