Planting a garden from scratch, plant by plant. Very impulse driven. Aiming for year round flowers in support of wildlife and pollinators!

Progress picture 03-07-19. First #hebe flowers have opened. I actually need to move two of these to new locations after misreading their maximum size! Should I move them now? Terrified of killing them!

Maybe move them when they've finished flowering?

@anges thank you! They’ve only been in a few weeks but they’ve grown so much and they will soon be super squished up! I’ve never moved a plant before so feeling nervous about doing it.

They'll be fine - give them a good drink when you move them. You could even wait til Autumn before you move them - depends if you want to wait till then. ☺

@anges it entirely depends how big they get 🙈 they’ve doubled in size and are snuggled together now so they can’t get much better or they’ll have to move now. Thanks so much for the advice!
