INSERT SOIL PLANTING DEPTH DIAGRAM HERE!!!
Set irises and yuccas with roots barely covered with soil (#1). Plant peonies, lilies of the valley and hostas with buds 1-2 inches below the surface of the soil (#2). Set plants with a distinct crown with the crown even with the soil surface (#3). Plant those without a distinct crown, that look like a chunk of root, 1 inch deep. If you can't tell which end is up, lay the root on its side (#4). Some plants with distinct crowns should be planted with the crown 1 inch below the soil (#5).
