bare root perennials

I bought some bare root Astilbe's from wilkinson yesterday, 3 in a bag. the instructions say to soak them in water for 24 hours before planting. I've soaked them for 24 hours but I'm buggered if I can find out which way up/down I should plant them Rolling Eyes Does anyone know?

Thanks, Jan??

It doesnt actually tell you how to plant a bare root, just how to plant a potted plan.

After googling for most of the night I think I've decided to just take an educate guess and bung 'em in Rolling Eyes
