Last year I moved some cyp's that were not getting larger and I forget who told me to move them or one stem I should say and I did now I see it has four stems from one last year So your help paid off I'm waiting to see if I get another flower this year but hey at least it's spreading . I think it was Ron who told me to move it. Could have been Tom also. Thanks Guy's

Good to hear they are doing better for you now Ray. You have both C. reginae and C. parviflorum v. pubescens if I remember correctly, true? A lot of people think that you should never disturb a Cyp, but the truth is that you have to every 5 years or so to revitalize them - new compost, cleaning out dead tissue, and even relocating them can give them a leg up.

Hi Tom ,

You are correct and I am going to get blooms on the regina this year also I have Aki ready to bloom but it's in a different area and didn't multiply this year so in the fall I'll likely move it too. I'll take pictures soon as they are ready. Thanks for the help it paid off
