What are bare-root perennial plants?

Bare-root perennial plants are an economical and eco-friendly for gardeners looking to establish long-lasting and beautiful gardens. These plants are grown in the ground and lifted during their dormant season, making them peat-free and pot-free. At Peter Nyssen, we offer a wide range of top-quality bare-root perennials at unbeatable prices, ensuring sustainable gardening without compromising quality.

Why choose bare-root plants?

Bare-root plants are perfect for gardeners who want to make environmentally conscious choices. By skipping plastic pots and peat-based compost, you’re helping to reduce waste and lower your garden's carbon footprint. These plants are also lightweight and easy to handle, making them ideal for bulk planting.

Another advantage? They are cost-effective compared to potted plants, so you can enjoy a stunning garden without breaking the bank.

Do bare-root perennials thrive?

Absolutely! Bare-root perennials store their energy in their root systems, ensuring robust growth once planted. Most will die back over winter, conserving their energy for a vibrant return in spring. With the proper care and location, they will bloom year after year, bringing colour and life to your garden. If you are willing to wait a year for these plants to establish you will be rewarded with multiplying root systems to can use around the garden. For free!

When is the best time to plant bare-root perennials?

Plant bare-root perennials during their dormant season in autumn or early spring. This allows the roots to be established before the plant puts energy into flowering. These seasons are also ideal for dividing existing perennials, giving your garden more plants while keeping them healthy and thriving.

What types of plants are available as bare-root perennials?

Peter Nyssen offers an incredible selection of bare-root perennials, from classic favourites to pollinator-friendly varieties. Here are some popular choices to get you started:



How to care for bare-root perennials in winter

After planting, many perennials will lose their top growth and rest in their roots during winter. To prepare them:

  • Cut back any dead or brown foliage to the soil level to keep plants tidy.

  • Mulch around the base to protect roots from frost and retain moisture.

  • For woody perennials like lavender, lightly trim back fleshy stems without cutting into old wood.

Gardening tips for success

  • Use bare-root perennials to create pollinator-friendly gardens that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

  • Group plants with similar care need to simplify maintenance.

  • Check our planting guides for tailored advice to help your perennials flourish.
