Where to plant Adenophora

Adenophora are best planted in a moist, well-drained soil of sand, clay, chalk or loam within an acidic, alkaline or neutral PH balance. They are best positioned in an area of full sun or part shade. Adenophora are well suited to being planted in beds and borders within cottage and informal garden settings.

How to plant Adenophora

Dig a hole that is deep enough to cover your bare roots without bending or snapping their form and space your plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart. Settle the soil in place, covering your bare roots entirely, whilst watering them thoroughly and deeply.
