Title: Alchemilla Mollis
Post by: Hey Jude on November 22, 2009, 20:10: Am I too late to dig up and divide my alchemilla mollis (sp) and keep it in pots until my new flower bed is sorted? Thank you, Hey Jude.

Post by: sunshineband on November 22, 2009, 20:14: No, not at all. :) Just make sure the pots don't freeze in the winter though :nowink:

Post by: DavidT on November 22, 2009, 20:59: Personally I would dig it up and burn it, it`s a weed.

Eye of the beholder and all that ;)
