Last year I started this shrinking violets thread, and I am happy to report that things are looking better this year. I put down milorganite and 10-10-10 around each plant early this spring, and we got a lot of rain. Yesterday I moved a couple of plants to new spots, and it's no wonder that they are not doing so well after 15 years or so. The root mass around those plants was unbelievable!! I was pretty sure that would be the case so I might start lifting and resetting the smaller plants.
