It's All About Location, Location!


One of the new plants I'm trying to grow this year is called "Mystic Merlin Mallow".  It's suppose to grow to around 4 or 5 feet tall and have pink, purple, and blue flowers all Summer.  This is a picture of what it will look like:


On March 6th I planted two of them in a container and put them at my arbor.  The other one I planted in a flower bed on my patio.  Today I decided the one in the flower bed didn't like it's location at all.  I replanted it in a container and moved it to the arbor as well.  Based on these pictures I took today, I think I made the right decision.  LOL


The plant that wanted a different location!
Height today: 3 1/2 inches
The 2 happy plants - loving their location!
Height today: 12-13 inches


The change in location for the Mystic Mallow has been successful.  It is happily growing.  It was 3 1/2 inches tall (see above photo) on March 29th when it was moved to the arbor.On April 12th it measured 10 inches.



The 2 plants that were already happily growing at the arbor are continuing to grow.  They measured 12-13 inches on March 29th and now measure 25 inches.
