If it were me, I'd dig a big chunk from around it so as not to disturb the roots too much and just take the whole 'plug' and stick it in where you plan on having it next year. Just my two cents (since I've never moved one), but that makes sense to me, given what I know.Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-36582494898054583462008-09-16T20:53:00.000-05:002008-09-16T20:53:00.000-05:00IVG, Have you seen peoples' postings on Tojen (To...IVG, Have you seen peoples' postings on Tojen (Togen)? That's on my Winter Wish List for next Spring!! :-) You should try planting the Sedum now. Even if they don't have many roots, they will continue to grow them after they're planted. <BR/>And as far as the impatiens... I didn't hear a thing! (But, thanks!) ;-) And my Kopper King has a few new leaves, but it didn't bloom. I'm definitely going to try moving it next Spring.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen, Thanks for returning to comment! :-) We really have had a wonderful season... all Spring, Summer, and now going into Fall. It's been wonderful inspite of me! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Bobbie, Please don't be jealous.

Now I'm back to say you have a lot going on still in your garden. I love obedient plant (I have the white variety tho) and turtlehead.

I really like the Tricyrtis 'Shining Light' too ... will have to keep my eye out for that one next year! Even the old curmudgeon me has to admit that those Impatiens do brighten up their bed, and since they were self seeders, even better! (Bet you though you'd never hear that from me, lol.)<BR/><BR/>Yep, it sure does seem like fall lately, but we're due to warm up more this week, which I hope helps ripen up all those green tomatoes we have! We're still waiting on one Tricyrtis to get blooming (should be soon), but I'll get pics when it does!<BR/><BR/>I think the sedums you gave me should have roots now (they've been outside getting rained on lately), so I hope to get them in the ground this weekend back by the hibiscus!

Liriope is Very easy to grow... it spreads, but not viciously. (I have it confined fairly well.) And it's adding a nice spiky green in a very shady couple of areas.
