Plants not growing vigorously
Ensure adequate sunlight, water, and well-draining soil. Check for pests or diseases. Perennial plugs may take a season to establish fully.

Ensure they are planted in well-draining soil in a location that suits their light requirements (typically full sun to partial shade for most perennials). Water them regularly after planting until established. These plants are generally hardy and suitable for most garden soil types, but check if specific varieties included are appropriate for your climate zone.

Care Recommendations:
- Planting: Plant plug plants at the same depth as they were in their pots, ensuring the crown is not buried.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep consistently moist, especially during dry periods, until established.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or grit.
- Sunlight: Most perennials prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Check specific plant needs if known.
- Aftercare: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering. Cut back plants in late autumn or early spring as needed.
