    Hi guys, when would be the best time to move a green cordeline? The plant is 2 years old - about 4' high. Thank you, as always. Dave

    Best time would be late autumn when growth stops. You can move it in the the early spring too before growth starts.

      Cordylines don't belong in this country so they are going to die when it gets cold. Replace it with a native English plant :thumbsup:

      Meadow cranesbil is well nicer :dbgrtmb:

        I'd go for the Spring move as opposed to the Autumn one.

        Cordylines dont move well but you might get away with it as its only been in two years, but be prepared for a tap root.
