💡 Care Tip: Plant your Thimbleberry rhizome as soon as possible after arrival and keep the root system from drying out. Use rich, well-draining soil and provide partial shade to full sun depending on your climate. Keep the soil consistently moist while the plant establishes, especially during its first growing season. The plant is trimmed down for shipping, so do not be concerned about the lack of foliage on arrival. New shoots and growth can develop from the established root system once conditions are favorable.
