Does ornamental cabbage overwinter well in your area? I'm pretty sure it's an annual here, so it wouldn't be expected to survive a fall relocation. If you do relocate in fall don't fertilize, but water well and you can add some bone meal to the hole before planting. Many 'sun' plants do well in shade or part shade, and appreciate relief from the hot sun. You might want to leave it and see how it does next summer, it may surprise you! :)Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900175850695800281.post-46505443157001725242009-10-04T10:33:22.382-07:002009-10-04T10:33:22.382-07:00Thanks - I didn't know that fall is the best t...Thanks - I didn't know that fall is the best time to relocate a shrub. Maybe I'll think some more about moving it. Mind you, the last time I moved something (Ornamental Cabbage), it died... oops ;) Although I'm guessing some plants can be moved and some can't? Try and learn, I suppose.Plant Avenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842695905285994808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900175850695800281.post-57869208817424733332009-10-04T09:47:56.748-07:002009-10-04T09:47:56.748-07:00Beautiful weigela, I added 2 purple weigelas this ...Beautiful weigela, I added 2 purple weigelas this year (Midnight Wine & Tango), as well as one variegated one. I really hope they do well over the winter, I am in zone 4 but sometimes our winters are more like Z3. I am also a newish gardener, just wanting to keep track of my garden & pregress. Lovely asters too, I bought some this year and really appreciate the colourful flowers into fall. :)<br /><br />Just a note, the suggested time to relocate a shrub is the fall, so you would probably be ok to move it now. I have relocated plants within the first month or 2 after planting, and they seem fine. I have mine in part shade, and I don't expect them to flower profusely, but their foliage is lovely and some flowers would be an added bonus. We'll see what happens next year!Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.com
