Ornamental Grass

transplanted now and looking droopy

14 years ago

I couldn't wait and transplanted a large miscanthus (variegated don't know the name) this week. I believe I got the entire root and more. It is in the same garden, receiving same light, water etc....It looks very unhappy. Is there anything that I can do to ease the pain and improve chances of success?

Thanks, Nancy

Temporary shade and sufficient water directly to the root zone.

Oh yes, a windbreak, too, if needed.
