You can always prick them out--pot them in a 4" pot, and dig the pots back into the bed to grow another year. The do grow very slowly. Remember the one I gave you at sally's Swap? That was in it's 3rd year of growing... Of course, like Sally's amazing soil where hers grows--it grew much, much faster. The below picture (I already posted this once) is a naturally dropped seed--that germinated on its own in the bed. I dug it up and put it in a 4" pot. Just stuck it in the back of that little bed right next ti the WS bed.This picture was taken in October of the same year. Also, remember--that the WS is a deciduous shrub--so even the little seedlings will lose all their leaves in late fall and be just a stick. Yes! A picture would help......G. |
