I moved them to a sunnier spot and they immediately bloomed the following spring. They are very easy to move in the fall and are extremely hardy. I'm sure yours will move fine. I did make a big mistake with them last year . I cut the foliage back too early because of mildew on the leaves and had very few flowers again. Thanks for the complement on my neighbors garden. It is a challenge because his wife would like all sun lovers and it's just too shady. I had a very poor showing of daffodils after planting many groupings. Lots of leaves,few flowers. Hopefully there will be more blooms next spring. I'm trying to remember where I saw the birdbath for sale recently. Do you have one of those "cement" garden centers that specialize in concrete garden ornaments? Thanks for the complement wrightie. The red flowering vine is my favorite, native honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens, with a reblooming purple clematis. The native honeysuckle blooms all summer, late into the fall, attracts hummingbirds and is not invasive like the Japanese honeysuckle. |
