Planting Instructions Plant your Abbotswood Potentilla in spring or fall, choosing a location with adequate sunlight. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container, gently loosen the roots, and place it in the hole. Backfill with soil, ensuring the plant sits at the same level as it did in the container. Water thoroughly and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem.
