I love doing my moving in Fall, that way the plant has three seasons in which nature is doing the watering, the soils are warm in early fall and that helps the roots.

Can I move my choisya?

I want to move my choisya to a different position in my garden. Can I do this and if so, when is the best time to do this?

Often sorting out drainage can end up being a very expensive affair. My advice to you would be to select plants that are going to grow in the conditions you are offering.
I've lost count the amount of plants I've lost trying to get them to grow where they just don't want too. You are just throwing your money away. There are so many plants that will thrive in the conditions you are offering - do an advanced search here on Shoot and see what turns up.

Thank you for your replies- it gets full sun but the ground is always moist in this area (bottom of a sloping garden) I haven't dug any grit in- would this help with drainage? A few other plants have suffered too so would like to get the soil right before we plant any more (I don't have a clue about gardening if it isn't obvious! I've never had a garden before and just plant and hope for the best!)

I would say too much water. Lost one to flooding last year and it looked exactly like yours did.

The RHS website says they need good drainage and full sun. Did you dig any grit into the soil before planting?

My soil is clay so I'm wondering if it's that or too much water? I planted them both in May and they've never really thrived, to be honest. Any help is appreciated - I would love to grow this plant in my garden if possible.

Hi, Joanne,
Thought it doesn't flower as profusely as the straight species, I would expect yours to have blossoms by now. Is it in full sun? If not, that would explain it. If it is, perhaps give it a feed low in nitrogen, high in phosphorus - the nutrient responsible for promoting flowers (you can find this in any garden centre).

My Choisya "Sundance" is growing well, however in it's 3rd year in my garden and still is quite shy to produce any flowers. All other plants (clematis, roses, trumpet flower, trachelospermum, peonies, poppies, campanulas) are flowering to their max, but not my Sundance.
Why is that?

Hi, Jacquie,
Dead and damaged growth on Choisya can be pruned now (in mid-spring). It might look quite flat for a while. How far back does the dead growth go? If more than half of the plant is dead, you might want to consider replacing it. Any chance you could post a photo?
