Transplanting Mexican Hats
I have some Mexican Hats that are well established in my pole garden (called
a pole garden because there is a birdhouse pole in the middle of it). The foliage has already started coming up in one big clump, and I'd like to move it. They are pretty plants, but tend to take over too much area, so I'd like to move them where they can have all the room they want. My question is...can I just dig up the whole big clump and transplant it to another area, or will this kill them? Thanks for any info Angie |

What in the freak are you calling "Mexican Hats"?
Use the proper scientific name if you expect an intelligent reply, trashypussy. "junkyardcat" wrote in message ...

The problem is that's not the only plant commonly called "Mexican Hats".
The name is also given to several different succulents and other plants as well. "escape" wrote in message ... Ratibida columnaris can be transplanted, but don't always survive. If you do, take the largest clump of soil with it as you can and make sure the ground is moist when you dig them out. Do not dig out dry soil with dry roots.

It thought I was going to need to draw you a picture. You must be a bit groggy after your cat naps. Back to the original question: What in the freak are you calling "Mexican Hats"?
