Transplanting Ladie's Mantle

I had a plant that was getting too big for the area it was originally planted in. I dug it up and transplated it in a different location but with the same soil. It is now limp and the edges of the leaves are starting to go yellow. I was always told you cannot kill this plant. Have I done it in or will it recover? It has been about three days since the transplant. I did fertilise it.

Doug says that having broken the biggest rule in moving plants (doing it when they're dormant) you can hardly expect any other outcome other than a badly wilted plant. You've whacked the roots - what did you expect?

You fed it. Which is like force feeding a sick person (not recommended in either case)

Let me suggest you read this page

Will it survive? Probably because it's a tough plant. But don't let it get too water stressed and don't turn it into a swamp.

If there's one thing I'd suggest to make this a bit better is to spray with an anti-desiccant so the poor plant doesn't lose any more moisture through its leaves. That will at least allow it to keep what it has.
