Shrinking Violet
Potting up hostas.
I have a couple of hostas that have been totally overshadowed by nearby planting. My own fault - I should have thought it through a bit better at the outset. One is the Patriot, and another a blue/green one (actual cultivar unknown or forgotten). I also have another in a large pot which is thriving.
I would like to pot up the two that are struggling under the adjoining plants - but should I do it now or wait until spring when the new growth emerges?
I would soak the ground thoroughly before lifting them and hope to give them the space they must crave.
Any advice?
