Nancy,

I think you can move the Eupatorium 'Gateway" right now.  You will have a 
shorter plant this year but it will bloom as it is an early fall bloomer in 
NYS.  

Eupatorium "Gateway' has been in my garden for years.  It is attacked all 
summer by everything (insects) but recovers and blooms every September.  
Since this is a native swamp plant you should have no trouble.  It is a weed, 
growing in great drifts, in Northeastern ditches.  I don't grow cimicifuga 
(needs water) but it is a native as well.

Does anyone have a comment on 'Gateway' compared to the native plant.  I 
think there is little difference.  It needs several years in place to do well 
and 'Gateway' which is supposed to be a hybrid seeds around in my garden.  
Maybe I will buy a new plant for comparison.

Marge, we have nearly 90 degree humidity here - no fair - no spring.  In the 
same week from fireplaces to A/C.
