Spring and summer flowers
Sweet peas
Use a straw with a crossed needle to pierce 1.2 cm deep holes. Then sow the seeds.
The planting holes of the small plants must be large enough that the roots fit comfortably in without being damaged.
Dahlias
Place the tubers in a 15 cm deep hole in the middle of spring. Then the base of the stem near the support rod. Cover the tuber with peat mixed with fertilizer. Finally fill in enough soil and press it down with your fingers.
Perennials
Chrysanthemums
The planting hole should be slightly larger than the root ball. The chrysanthemum is placed in the planting hole, the soil is filled in and carefully pressed down.
delphinium
The plants are only planted slightly deeper than the plants were standing and at a distance of about 60 cm. Trample the earth firmly.
Peonies
Loosen the bottom of the planting hole well and add several handfuls of sand or gravel to improve drainage. Carefully move the rhizome into position so that the root neck is no deeper than 5 cm below the surface of the soil, then fill it all around with good garden soil.
Feather carnations
Scatter quicklime in the planting holes to protect against wireworms and larvae of the Wiesenschnake and mix it with the earth. Do not plant too deep, the stems are only covered with soil 6 mm high, the leaves must not touch the ground. Press the soil with your fingers without driving the roots and stems of the spring carnation deeper into the soil.
Carnation
It is important that only the roots, but not the stems, are covered with soil; the stem base must be above the surface of the earth. Attach the stem to a short stick with small wire rings and lightly water the plant.
Hostas
Put the plants with outstretched roots as deep into the earth as they were before. Press the plants well and water them sufficiently.
Ferns
Dig a planting hole into which the entire root ball is inserted, surrounded with substrate and firmly pressed down. The leaf roots should be just above the surface of the earth.
Ornamental grasses
Put the young grasses just as deep into the earth as the growing bed and pile them up lightly so that the irrigation water reaches the root ball and does not seep into the area. The soil must be well watered.
Bulbous and bulbous plants
Lilies
For most lilies, the planting hole should be a little two and a half times as deep as the length of the bulb. Cover the bottom with coarse sand, spread the roots on it. Then put a layer of sand on the roots and fill the planting hole with soil. Mark the spot with a short stick and rake in some bone meal.
Irises
Use a small hand shovel to dig a sloping, fan-shaped planting hole. It should be big enough and about four inches deep. Insert the rhizome at the deepest point and distribute the roots in the planting hole as well as possible so that the plant gets a firm hold.
Ornamental onion
The planting depth is three to four times the bulb height, which means that an bulb 2.5 cm high, for example, 7.5-10 cm high must be covered with soil.
Gladiolus
At the beginning of spring, plant the tubers about 10 cm deep in heavy and 15 cm deep in light barren. In heavy soils that tend to become waterlogged, pour some sand into the planting hole. Press the tubers well, then cover with soil.
Crocuses
Crocuses are placed 5 - 7.5 cm deep and with a distance of 7.5 to 10 cm into the ground. In light soils, where they could be disturbed by summer planting, they should be set up to 13 cm deep.
Timeless
The rungs are stuck 7.5-10 cm deep and just as far apart in the earth and gently pressed in.
Daffodils and daffodils
Small bulbs can be planted with a set stick, the larger ones with a special bulb planter. At the same time, the cavity below the onion is leveled so that the roots come into direct contact with the ground. Where there are no other plants around, the plug-in hole should be three times as deep as the length of the onion. A 5 cm long onion is put into a 15 cm deep hole and covered with 10 cm soil.
Tulips
The perfect planting hole depends on the type of soil and the effect to be achieved. In very light soils, the respective tulip bulbs can be placed up to 30 cm deep. This gives high varieties a certain level of stability, which enables soil cultivation as well as intermediate planting without disturbing the onion. Basically, however, a planting depth of around 14 cm is common. In heavy soils, the tulips should never be set deeper than 15 cm.
Climbing plants
Fragrant honeysuckle
Poke out a planting hole that can accommodate the entire root ball. It is important to ensure that the original planting depth is maintained. If the honeysuckle is to climb up a wall or fence, the planting hole is 30 - 45 cm moved away from it, because the ground next to a wall or fence is always dry and mostly barren.
clematis
Dig a planting hole at least 45 cm wide and deep. Part of the planting hole is filled with soil, into which the root ball is embedded so deep that the shoot should be a little slanted. Then fill in the rest of the earth and press it down well.
Garden shrubs
camellia
The plants are placed flat (no deeper than they were in the nursery) and firmly in the ground and mulched with peat or leaf compost.
Snowball
Dig a sufficiently large planting hole to accommodate the entire root ball. The plant must be just as deep in the ground as it was before in the nursery. Firmly press the soil around the plant and water.
Hydrangeas
The planting hole must be large enough that the roots can be spread out in it without being compressed. The main trunk should step at the same height as in the nursery, recognizable by the light-dark transition at the base. In egg ballless plants, the roots are spread out in the planting hole, with container plants only the stronger roots around the balls are loosened.
Barberry
All plants are always set as deep in the ground as they were in the nursery.
Rhododendrons
In places that are noticeable for waterlogging in heavy rain, the bale is set so that it protrudes about 10 cm from the Soil protrudes, and piles the earth in such a way that it slopes gently outwards from the main trunk, the rhododendron is planted approx. 10 cm deeper than the surrounding soil and forms a slight hollow in which the rain or irrigation water can then collect.
Dwarf conifers
The planting hole should be a little wider so that there is enough space for the root ball. Take the conifer out of its container and place it in the planting pit. The top of the root ball should be flush with the surface of the soil.
