Hi everyone,
Any suggestions on moving a couple tall dagga plants? The porch overhang is 9', so the tallest few are 7'-9'.
Options under consideration: lying them down on an incline in the floor of my car's front seat with the seat reclined and bending them around the back window/seat, standing them up in the very back of the moving truck with some cardboard supports, or finding a spot to put them in the ground here and leaving them, which is a last resort.
Thanks!

Wow, I never saw so big Dagga.
Here they grow in the wild and reach 3 or 4 feet tall.
One "tragical" sugestion is to cut.

I'd cut them back to a manageable size then root the parts you cut off. They root really easily. Just put them in a cup of water and they'll start throwing out roots.

It might be that you have Leonotis leonurus where you live instead of Leonotis nepetifolia. From what I've seen L nepetifolia gets much taller and L leonurus tends to be shorter and bushier.

Thank you both. Cutting them back sounds like a plan.
I actually wasn't sure which were klip dagga and which were wild dagga. I germinated several of each at the same time and lost track of which were which, but there are several that are more like 3-4'. Glad to have that sorted out too. :P

These guys root so easily you don't even need rooting powder. Mine get this tall but the wind will often break the stems. So what I do sometimes when that happens is take part that broke off cut a new clean cut and stick it in the ground. voila a clone in a few days. Love this plant :)
Love ur pick :)
