Wet Spring?
Sometimes Winter and Spring can be very wet. When this happens it is vital to keep an eye on your plants.

Check that they are not planted too deep, the top of the rootball should be 3cm proud of the ground. If they are recently planted you can easily raise it yourself by putting a spade under and packing soil underneath.
