Had to move Muhly capillaris plants.....

| I had to move three small muhly capillaris clumps that were in a bad area (stump removal man said they were in the way). I moved them to a spot that only gets sun from about 1:30 on - but since I am in the South, those hours of sun are intense.
Do you think they can survive the upheaval and the area where they were placed? They are still quite small. I am also wondering if they were to survive, would they flower or did I ruin the process? Thanks - (unfamiliar with grasses except for blue fescues ... and stil learning).

| That's probably enough sun. They're rated for full sun to part shade, so if they survive the late transplant, they'll probably do fine. I answered your transplant question on the WS Forum. You're in a warm enough zone they probably have enough time to get reestablished before dormancy sets in. Given the choice between transplant and the stump grinder, I would have made the same decision. ;>) |
