Flannel flowers are quite sensitive to root disturbance.
Therefore you should not disturb the roots at all during transplantation. Simply remove the plant from the pot and place into your prepared planting hole. Backfill the planting hole so that the original soil level in the pot matches the surrounding soil level. Approximately 2 to 3 litres all around your plant. Do not allow the mulch to touch the stem of the plant.
