| So I planted this at the front of a raised bed, and it is way too tall for the front, and is also flopping over. I know I could just stake it, but I would really like to move it a few feet to the back, and plant a gorgeous agastache in its place now, so the latter can get established for the winter.
I know now is not the best time. But OTOH, we have been having a crappy cool spring (am near Vancouver, BC), with more rain and cloud than sun in the forecast. If I cut back a lot of the foliage and the flower stems, would it still sulk, or could it survive the move? Or should I just wait until fall? Has anyone any experience with moving them now? Many many thanks in advance for your thoughts! |

| If you dig it up with a big clump of soil , so that it does not notice being moved , you can do it anytime. Just cut the soil from all sides with your spade and then lift it(unless you grow it in pure sand, then don't ). |

| FWIW, scroll down to the last post in this thread as there is a picture of my "TT" in bloom from this past May. With the flower stalks it does grow tall and although this past winter was quite moderate even so it stayed evergreen the whole time. |

| UPDATE: FWIW I moved my TT just last day. I did give lots of flowers this past May but it never rebloomed after that first flush. I am not sure if it should but I am just putting it out there just in case others experienced differently. |
