    Hello all

    I Hope you are Well.

    I have a Small Potentillia fruticosa that needs Moving, only a Couple of Feet as it is currently Struggling as it is too close to a Ninebark Burning Embers and a Golden Japanese Forest Grass.

    What would be the Best way to Move it, and, most importantly, can I Move it now?

    I would Post a Photo but for some reason or other my Phone Camera is acting up.

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

    If you're going to have to move it then now it the time to do it before growth really gets underway

        Yes, do it now. As it is small, it stands a good chance of not being too upset. Good luck! :blue thumb:

          Hello @ViewAhead

          Thanks for the Reply.

          I have just got back in from Moving the Potentilla, it is now Raining so it will get a nice Watering to settle it in.

          Hopefully it will recover well.

          Thanks

          Kevin
