I think good idea if you are unsure of the conditions but initially you should when planting/replanting, like Twitch said, make sure the rosettes have good contact with the ground. I know that sometimes when you add a top dressing it makes the heads sit up higher and when you have a smaller head the top dressing could bring it up from the ground too much, so you got to find a balance to that.
