Michigan gardeners patiently await local frost-free dates in anticipation of planting colorful perennials in their gardens. MSU Extension is offering a fee online class to help you get a jump on spring planting by learning the many attributes of bare-root plants. Fully dormant, bare root perennials will acclimate naturally to your soil type and growing environment and are never jeopardized by excess organic media left on the root ball. During the online class, we will also explore a rich pallet of perennials to add interest, seasonal color and pollinator resources in your perennial garden.
