Buying plants at a department store or nursery can be a difficult task. It is good to take a plant out of the pot and check the root system to ensure it is strong. Leaves on the plant should be healthy, without many spots, cuts, or discoloration. Overall growth should be healthy on the plant and not week. A plant not yet in bloom or starting to bloom is more ideal than a plant in full bloom or finishing. Remember, if you buy bare root plants, they will take longer to establish. On the other hand they may be cheaper.
