Is it too late in the year to take a trimming from my Rose of Sharon tree and plant it in another spot?

If so when would be an idea time to do so? Also, when is the best time to trim these things back? I'm going to guess after they finish blooming but how long afer?

no. softwood cuttings, June-July, root readily when treated with 1000 ppm IBA(rooting hormone). prune back heavily in early spring, or prune back to 2 or 3 buds in spring to get larger flowers
Reply:The Rose of Sharon, is one of those plants you would want to prune and move in early spring.
Reply:Go ahead and give it a try. Before the first frost date, bring the pot in the house and set it in a south window during the winter.
Reply:in the spring if you want it to grow. second part in the spring so you can trim of any dead. hope that helps.
