No experience.

Transplant

2008  Pussytoes transplant readily. In late spring after a rain or wet snow, when the pussytoes are still dormant, I remove plants from an area that is very thick with pussy toes. The pussytoes propagate by underground runners, forming a tangled mat. The main root system for each pussytoes plant is about 2 inches. I separate the pussytoes into small, distinct plants and place each plant where I desire pussytoes to grow. Most of my success has been planting pussytoes between rocks in a walkway.

Transplanted pussytoes come out of dormancy and start growing. The first year after being transplanted, a pussytoes plant establishes its root system and does not start to spread with underground runners.By the second year, the pussytoes plant is established enough to start sending out the underground runners.

Future Plans

2008  This image show a pussytoes in full bloom and starting to go to seed. Pussytoes spread quite rapidly around our property. I would like to collect some seed next year. I will also be transplanting more pussytoes to fill in our walkways.
