    I need to move my heucheras to another spot, are they deep rooted? will this be a problem at all? probably not the best time to think about digging them up but I need the space. Any advice gratefully received!! :)

    If you need to move it now:

    Water well before you move it.
    Water well after you move it.

    I think that's about it! :snork:

    Mine aren't deep rooted, but that may only be because they object trying to force their way into my clay.

    Very easy to move Val, I usually just yank and stick in a new hole.
