| I have a Salvia 'Marine Blue' that is not getting enough sun. Are they easy to transplant? Would now or winter be a good time to do it? |

| I've just had to move some of mine because after finally going great, the septic tank collapsed and they were too close. So I just dug a hole where I wanted them, dug them up and dropped them in, watered with weak seaweed solution and it's going to rain tonight anyway. If they droop, I'll cut them back a bit. I think they are hardy enough. These were the gorgeous blue ones. |

| Thanks for the tip Annabel, it's reassuring to know they're not fussy about being moved. Should have known better than to plant it in semi shade. |

| I have blue salvias in semi shade, morning sun, along with a gorgeous red and a white. But, the ones I moved have not even wilted. Mind you, we have had a lot of rain this last two weeks and even the rose I had to move did not even willt! I had the plumbers in yesterday and the hole from the collapsed tank filled in so I now have a large, full sun area for new plants and I have loads of daylily seeds sprouting. |
