One of the best ways to give your new transplants a better chance of survival is by giving them a boost with compost at planting time. Compost is not only full of nutrients, but it also helps retain moisture around the roots of plants.
Even more, it helps to loosen soil, allowing new roots to establish much easier in the soil. When transplanting, we fill all of our transplant holes back in with a 50/50 mix of existing soil and compost. That little boost will help your plants get off to the best start possible!
One final note, Don’t worry if the foliage of your transplants begins to die or drops off after transplanting. Most perennials are finished growing by fall, and they are simply heading into dormancy. But getting these plants split and in the ground in the fall, allows the roots to be ready to grow strong the following spring.
