In my previous post, I talked about relocating this daylilies and hostas to make way for the raised beds and new perennials and grasses. But I never showed you where they went.
Outside the fence! In a mud space/nasty ground cover area created by the removal of two trees over the past 10 years by the HOA.
The clumps of daylilies were a challenge to dig out as they were up against the fence and could only be dug on 3 sides. I spread them out in the new area to give them plenty of room to multiply.

I was convinced they would not bloom this year, given the move and the excessive heat during the first couple of weeks. But they did.
The hostas had been happily growing in the garden for about 10-12 years, with only a little setback from harsh winter weather. One green hosta clump I dug up was divided into FIVE new clumps. They did suffer some heat and transplant stress but I know they will be fine over time.
The variegated hostas were only marginally newer to the garden and yielded ten good size transplants that I did not subdivide. I thought I had taken pictures of them but I can't seem to find them at the moment.
Congrats! on getting blooms right after transplant.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that they survived and will fill up a messy spot. But now I'm curious about the land outside the fence. Does it belong to you or is it common land?
