Transplanting Parrot's Feather
Jim and Phyllis were kind enough to send me some PF at the beginning of the
season. I had not time to plant it so I tossed it into the VF. Well to be more accurate I used the patented BV planting method. Anyway, it is now overgrown and taking over the VF. I love it. I'd like to move some into the main pond, but fear if I just grab and pull, I will destroy the beautiful mass I have going. The shape is awesome. So is there a good way to do this? Can I just cut some? Will it reroot? BV. |

PF will root in sand, gravel, soil and even find a spot by itself if planted using your BV method. HTH -_- how no NEWS is good |

Transplanting Parrot's Feather
BV, just root around in the mass a little bit and you will find that it has
already sent off roots at points. I just snip it where the roots are and plants it up immediately.... Although I admit I do use the BV planting method from time to time as well! ) Janet in Sunny Niagara Falls -- "Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ...

I think next weekend nothing is scheduled, so we'll be renting a Bobcat to level the yard (just had a pool installed, and there is some dirt left over) and I think I will then delve into pruning and transplanting pond plants.
