"You need a rounded edge shovel like I have to dig a nice size hole for your rudbeckia. I'm going to planting behind this nepetella here. I'll have the blue foliage with the yellow flowers behind it. You just kind of pull the mulch away and start digging in a foot round circle loosening up the soil as you go. Here I actually uncovered a couple bulbs, which are fine. They're in their dormant stage and I will replant them back in here after I get my hole dug. Sometimes it's good to label what you've planted so that you know where it is.
