i have a bagfull of these crowns in a bag.

dont like any disturbance so i am wondering if its wise?
Maybe they wont cope with a moving later.
legend seems to have it that they are somewhat fickle ...difficult
to get going..
what do readers think on this one?
(i am not sure what type these are ..)


....... If I can add to the legend, yes I found them difficult to get
going but that was in fairly heavy soil. In different circumstances,
they proliferated to weed like proportions and I found it difficult to
get rid of them. Given the opportunity, they root quite deeply and it
can be difficult to confine them.
