We plan on selling our house in the next year or two and was wondering what I can take with me. I assume I can take most of my bulbs (tulips, daffodils- if I put some in), hostas- I would leave most other things, even though it breaks my heart.

Hi gardeningmomma!

You won't have any trouble moving the Hostas. I am always moving them and dividing them. Your bulbs won't be a problem either. Actually, one of my neighbors moved last summer and she took most of her perennials that she had planted with her. Of course, none of these were of any significant size so it didn't alter the landscaping around the house.

"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen!"

When I moved, I brought 30+ plants with me! Alot of Hosta's, Phlox, Bee Balm, Astilibe, Campanula and many other things and ALL my bulbs. I had all the perennials in pots and the bulbs were dug up and packed in a box (with the leaves intact)
Everything survived and is doing great in their new spots!

It's so hard to leave the flowers you've planted and cared for, so I hope you consider taking some of your favorites with you.

I hope that we will find a place with flower beds or space for some.

Don't forget there's always containers!
