hi all

i am having to move some plants to allow builders access to an out
building and have to move a lot of plants.

i have a mexican salvia that is about 2 and half metres right now and
still growing taller and i am wondering if it is ok to lift the plant
and its tubers/rhizomes(?) while they are still growing or will this
damage them as they normally are left to die down as i believe this is
where the stored enrgy comes from to produce next years growth..?

clearly i dont know what i am talking about but would like to know even
if they were chopped down that they would be ok for next year?

I'd leave the salvia alone, matters not if it gets trampled. it'll
grow back. If you're worried dig up a few with roots and plant
elsewhere.
