# Two questions: first, living in New England, how do I winterize this…

_Posted by Nani on 2024-08-28_

Two questions: first, living in New England, how do I winterize this plant? And second, does this plant look healthy? I know it’s blooming but when I first planted it, it was nice and perked up. Is it supposed to look like this after a while?

Looks healthy, more sun may help it grow more vertically if that’s what you’re looking for aesthetically. Plants phototroph (grow towards) where there is the most direct sun usually. I’d wait until the springtime to transplant tho after the ground thaws, the roots will respond better then. Also fresh soil/compost will help it grow stronger

I should move it? Even though I only just planted it this spring?
