rumex move

Dug and relocated my rumex to the mailbox spot.

I noticed it appeared to have multiple crowns, and sure enough it divided easily into half a dozen clumps.

Put in two small rows up against the stone edge

from the other side-

when rumex starts to die back in summer heat. my borage and then celosia will fill the space

Right now I want just something green showing in early spring, so it doesn't look such an empty space.

Meanwhile, I learned from a bit of reading that my rumex and sorrel are related- they're both kinds of dock, sorrel is Rumex acetosa and the red decorative one I have is Rumex sanguineus commonly known as bloody dock. I've been calling it rumex 'cause that's all it said on the tag.
