If you mulch lightly now it will help keep the soil from drying out,mulch heavier before winter to prevent freezing. You shouldn't transplant while shooting,they probably got shocked. Don't over water, let the plant develope roots. But If the soil is real dry, water when you think needed.leaf curl could be caused by many things, if the plant was shooting it could be putting out new leaves dropping the old ones. Yellow groove is fairly hardy it should come back around.

I mulched with grass clipping heavily just today and sprinkled the clipping with water, cuz my soil is so dry there is alote of clay in it unfortunatly. How does this sound? Thank you for your advise.

grass clippings good to use.if your soil is clay water doesn't drain well so maybe try watering heavy every other day. my yellow groove hasn't done much yet this year, no shoot's yet but when i dig near it I find rhizomes 3 feet away, so it's doing all it's growing under ground. I planted it early march. while my vivax,nuda and bisetti are shooting now. I'm near pittsburgh and we have had a wet spring, so I haven't watered any thing yet this year.

Mine has been shooting like crazy, this is the second year it's been planted and it's doing fine. I think maybe you are watering too much because if you weather has been like ours, I haven't had to water anything. I don't think it needs over an inch a week, like a normal garden plant. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that. I did mulch mine when I planted it, I watered it a couple of times, and I've not watered it since. If your soil feels moist, it's most likely been getting enough water.

Thanks, I watered after I put the grass clippings pretty good, how long do you think I should wait till I water again? I put up a barrier on all sides of thick plastic carpet runner in hopes of containing it, it is 2 feet deep do you know how deep yellow goes down? Do you think that that will be deep enough?
