My neighbor is moving, and has given me the OK to dig up plants that I'd like to transplant to my yard (the new buyers are putting in a pool and thus drudging out the garden).

She has a HUGE bush of this stuff that comes back every year, and is already 6 ft. tall this season......how should I go about transplanting? I have to dig 'er up in late July..........

cut the plant down to the ground before you dig it up; then transplant it.

GREAT! I was wondering how I'd manage digging up & moving that HUGE bush! Where do you grow yours?
