Around mid-summer of last year, a nursery was having a sale on their oriental lilies----so, I purchased one. The plant was in bloom at the time. Anyway, I brought it home, dug a hole, amended the soil with compost, and planted it.

Well, this year the plant seems to be stuck at 4-5 inches tall---not doing anything. It looks healthy, but does not seem to want to grow. The one mistake I did make was planting it in an area where it gets too much shade. I thought it might benefit from some shade from the hot mid-afternoon sun.

I realize that it probably is not going to bloom this year. Sooo, I guess my question is should I go ahead and try digging this plant up and moving it to a spot with more sunlight? I was thinking of waiting till we get a few days of cooler weather---or, would I be better off waiting till this fall to move the plant?

Live and learn, I guess.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
