Planting instructions

Wasn’t quite sure how to plant… which side down (nob up?, nob above/below surface of dirt?, etc). A quick google search on this topic indicated bulbs should be soaked in water for 1 hour prior to planting… should I have done that? More detailed planting instructions would be helpful.

Waiting to see

I ordered 2 cinnamon ferns and planted the bare roots (4) as soon as they arrived. Only 2 are sprouting and one I feel sure is a cinnamon fern but not sure about the other. Stay tuned.

Cinnamon ferns

Super excited to get these guys in the ground!
In the meantime, I put them in a pot.
Watched your video about which way to plant them in the ground and wasn’t really sure what were the frond roots and what were the actual roots?
Followed all other directions as indicated so I’ll see what happens! Have a great place to plant them.
Thanks again for the speedy delivery.

Happy with my Cinnamon Ferns...but I only received 9 instead of the 10 I had ordered. All 9 that I received came to life with no problem after planting in the ground. Based on that, thumbs up 100%!

The title seems to say it all. I am impressed with this company. They have an easy to use website and flawless process. The prouct arrives in good shape ready to plant. I had fiddle heads the second day after planting and 6-8 inch shoots in five days.
