On Friday the intake pipe that goes from our well to our house developed
a serious leak which means it must be replaced. Luckily, the only real
excavation to be done is around the wellhead itself, but it is in the
middle of an ornamental grasses bed.
I must move 2 5ft. Miscanthus sinensis Gracillimuss and 1 zebrina or
strictus (I can't remember which). I don't really have to "move" them,
I jut need to "remove"them for 3 days while the work is done.
How do you suggest I go about it. I could:
a) cut them back to one-two feet and find a permanent new home
for them
b) cut them back to one-two feet and heel them in temporarily &
return them in 3-4
days to their original home
c) do (a) or (b) without cutting them back
d) do something else, I know not what
There is also some verbena bonariensis there.
Any assistance you-all can give me will be much appreciated. The
contractor comes on Wednesday morning.
Many thanks,
Nancy S. deGrazia
