Need Help!

Posted by floral_grow 6 (My Page) on

Hi Everyone, Sure hope someone can give me some info. I was just doing some weeding, it stopped raining long enough to do that, and found a bunch of 8-10 inch seedlings from my neighbors Rose of Sharon bush growing in my garden. This is from a neighbor who will never share seeds with anyone. Sure made me feel good.

Can I move some of them to different spots, or should I put them in pots and wait until fall.I'm in West Seneca, if anyone would like some.

Thanks,
Barb

Why not do both. It is still pretty cool so you probably could transplant them without a problem although I wouldn't put them in direct sunlight. Just make sure that you keep them moist until they get established.

Thanks Penny, that's what I thought. I just wanted to hear it from someone else.

I have volunteer shoots of Rose of Sharon throughout my garden. I try to pull most of them up in spring, but when I don't get to them they are woody by August and too tough to remove. They are the hardiest flowers I have ever seen!

For your situation, since they are seedlings, I'd do about anything with them at this stage.

I have about 22 shrubs (about 3' high) prior homeowners planted on a fence line (literally about 2 inches away).

Since they are in bloom now, I'm waiting until next month to move.
