Is this a good time to transplant perennials and shrubs?

Absolutely……the weather has cooled, we are getting some good rain (to say the least)
……Dig your perennials ensuring to get an adequate root system…Use a sharp knife or garden spade to divide into pieces which each should have some ‘good roots’…..replant at the same depth as before…no deeper!….do not let the newly planted divisions go through a dry spell….keep them watered consistently until they go dormant, or we reach the cool winter months. Shrubs should also be dug with an adequate root system and replanted at the same depth they were in the garden….one of the biggest concerns in the industry is the frequency shrubs and trees are planted too deeply….keep the crown up and the mulch back! Please email with specific questions…Have a good Monday!
