Replanted sea holly, now looks like it's on way out
Hello,
I moved three sea holly plants as they were growing too close to my washing line.
I moved them a week ago and they now look discoloured and like they will die.Then were pale green and white but now look pale yellow and at death's door.
Any advice please?

Only thing I can suggest is copious amounts of water (3-4 litres every day or 2 for several weeks) and if you could provide some shade, there's slim chance it'll come through.
But you've moved it at the worst possible time - just bad luck, but if it had to be done just keep fingers x'ed

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Oh
I didn't know that.
Thank you, will try the water and hope it will pull through.
you could try cutting it right back, it's what Beth Chatto does with plants in her dry garden if they're stressed. I would go for cut back, water once, cross fingers

I guess so.
It was so nice before I moved it, I wish I had just left it now.
Thank you xx
