Which side is up


Question
Hi.  I am new to gardening and I ordered a few different perennials through the mail.  One is called "golden sundrops" I don't know which side is up!  One side of the plant is "hairy" are these the roots, to be planted downward, or is this the top of the plant to be planted above the soil.  I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Answer
Hi Steve,
Thanx for your question.  Plant the hairy side down.  You are correct.  Those are the roots. Be sure to plant deep enough so the clump is covered by 3 or 4 inches of soil and then water deeply.  Water once a week if no regular rain.  I hope this helps.
Tom
