After receiving some bareroot herbaceous Hemerocallis from one of my favourite suppliers, Pollieslillies, the next step was to pot them up.
As with my sowing Autumn sweet pea seeds, I created a short two minute video clip on it. Buying plants bareroot like this in the Autumn or Spring is a great way of increasing your range of plants, and one not used as often as it should be.

You can see that I potted them into 5 litre pots using my own mix of topsoils, sieved garden compost, grit and some organic fertiliser. Once the potting was completed I placed them into a nice sheltered position, and as the winter sets in I'll probably bring them under cover of a coldframe just to keep them a touch comfortable over winter.
Wait until you see, the Spring will come around in no time and by midsummer there will be an abundance of flowers to enjoy.
Happy gardening.
