How to Plant Flowers | Lawn & Garden Care 

This is a short video on how to plant flowers. Like any plant, one of the key thing you want to remember is not to plant it too deeply. Many people make that mistake and end up making a little bathtub in which water collects and the roots eventually rot because they're too wet. So if you're got a nice specimen here like this rudbeckia triloba, you just want to give it a little rap on the bottom and remove the root ball from the container. Now, what you're going to see here with this one is like a lot of plants that come in containers. It's a little bit root-bound here on the bottom and on the sides meaning the roots have grown out, they've hit the edge of the pot, and they've started to sort of collect there, and this is a bad thing because what we want the roots to do once we plant it is we want the roots to go out into the native soil.
