During the winter, I transplanted about a dozen old lavender plants. They were old plants, ten or fifteen years old but not thriving at all. In their original locations, they were being out competed by grass and weeds. Now they are in the meditation garden.
These may need a year or two, to become more bushy and really stand out. Even so, they are covered with flowers. It's a sensual pleasure puttering and weeding these plants. Every brush against them brings out waves of lavender scent.
Similar in some ways to lavender, I also moved a half dozen rosemary plants. Only two survived, and their growth so far is minimal. I moved a dozen sage plants too. They recovered, are putting on a lot of growth, but no blossoms yet.
