RE: Yellow Perennials/Woodies

Actually, these two spots are on the east side of the house, full sun
until 'bout one o'clock.  I'm using the St. John's Wort on an embankment
to prevent erosion in the future, and am looking for something rather
showy.  I've not seen the Shrubby Wort, so I'll have to go find a
picture <grin>.  

Since they're not flowering now, is it ok to move the Rhodies?
