Most gardeners are familiar with planting container-grown perennials, but using plugs requires a shift in mindset and technique. These young starter plants, grown in trays instead of pots, offer distinct advantages: they are cost-effective, easier to plant and establish quickly. They are ideal for large areas, slopes and under trees. However, not every gardener is familiar with plugs. Planting them successfully takes a bit of practical know-how that even experienced gardeners will appreciate refining. Join Shannon Currey, education and outreach at Izel Native Plant, to learn the pros and cons of plugs, when they’re most appropriate and best practices for handling, planting and managing them. With these essentials, you’ll be planting like a pro!
