The start of the fall marks the best time to dig u The start of the fall marks the best time to dig up and process many herbaceous and woody plants. Our gardeners find themselves “heeling in” more and more plant material with the cooling temperatures. This practice known as “heeling in” is a gardening technique that temporarily holds bare-root or potted plants aboveground, protecting their roots from the elements (wind, sun, freezing temps, etc.), until further processing or planting. At Cylburn, we use this practice to transport recently dug up plants to their new planting locations or bring them to our potting bench to pot up. We also use this in our outdoor nursery spaces to hold and protect potted woody plants for longer periods as they continue to grow to a larger planting size. 

To transport dug up perennials, our gardeners use bulb crates lined with newspaper and filled with potting media. Any media available at hand will work from soil to potting media to mulch to even wet newspaper - really anything to keep roots protected and moist until further processing or planting. 

To hold and protect potted woody plant materials for extended periods, our gardeners cover all sides of the pots with a thick layer of mulch, piling it just below the rim. This layer of mulch helps keep the root ball moist and cool in the heat of the summer, while providing a layer of insulation from the harsh cold of winter.

Pictured here are seedlings of Caryopteris  x clandonensis ‘Gold Crest’. This species is currently only cultivated in the gardens by our front entrance, but through this process, it will either be potted up to be grown to a larger size or transplanted directly into our other gardens!
