Bare Root Plants

Professional growers choose bare root because they’re better for plants, the planet and you. Our bare root plants are freshly lifted from the fields from November onwards and delivered to you without soil around the roots, which makes them cheaper to transport and also better value. Plant them from November to March while they’re dormant and they’ll be strong, firmly rooted and ready to explode into life in the spring. Check out our step-by-step guide to planting bare root.
