What to do when a dormant plant arrives:

1. Unpackage on arrival and water
2. Your plant will be ready to be planted in the landscape or in a container on arrival, or if you wish you can keep your new plant in its container until spring that is ok too
   • If planting in the landscape
     • Consider using a root stimulating fertilizer to get your plant working hard establishing its root system during the winter months
     • Use a heavy Layer of mulch to protect the unestablished roots from frost 
3. Dormant plants do require some watering: once a week should be sufficient 
4. When Spring arrives and your plant begins showing signs of new growth increase your watering schedule to 2 times every 7 to ten days until established, then water as needed. Apply a slow-release granular fertilizer to give your plant a great start
