It's fallen out of favour. Actually, I was never that keen. I don't like killing things so would it tolerate light shade in a neglected corner? If not, it's going to die.
If you definitely want to get rid of it, move it and see what happens. As long as its not in deep shade it must be worth a try. I wouldn't necessarily move it now though, possibly in the Spring. (Although if you don't really care...)
It may struggle to flower without full sun @B3 but it’s worth a try, as long as the soil’s Ok and there’s not too much competition. Alternatively if you’re able to wait until spring you could divide it up and offer it to others that you like, or dislike!
Good plan @ Plantminded & @AnniD Wrong plant perfectly happy in the wrong place. I'll bung it out of sight in the spring. I took a bit off it last year and planted it. It's got a bit ambitious too. They both seem to have enjoyed the drought.
Saw one today in a local GC £35.99p I was shocked. If it is really big wiil take two people to move it. Spring is the time to do it if you want to be sure it survives. I have tried M Malpartus in shade it grew really poorly and had just a few flowers. I have one in full sun this year fifty plus flowers it has loved the weather I think. It is in my front garden in November it is stunning under a street light.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
I don't know of a community garden locally. It's surrounded by plants I want so I don't really want people tramping about. I'm thinking the best thing to do is remove it in bits. Then I can leave them out the front in carrier bags. The more I think about it - the more I don't want any of it.
Sounds the best solution to me You don't want to kill it, and l understand that, but you don't like it. Let someone who does like it have the benefit (or many people, if you split it).
