I've finally got most of the plants that I *ungardened* from my old
house planted in the ground at my new house. I'm pleased to announce
that the majority of them survived with the *dig and whack* method I
followed - except two that I'm not sure about.
One daylily (those cast-iron hemerocallis lovelies) is showing no sign of
green. Of course it is the ONE I really wanted to transplant. I dug the
tubers with leaves, cut the leaves back to 6 inches or so, and potted it
in soil mixed with vermiculite for the move. I did the same with all the
other daylilies and they are happily sprouting new growth. Think the
tubers are still viable?
The other plant doing the same *brown* dance, is my tall pink phlox
(gardening books still packed away, so sorry . . . no latin name
available) I treated it (and the other tall phlox) the same as the
daylilies (dig and whack) and all but the pink are doing great. Think it
might come back?
Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
