    Your plant should be fine in full sun. Could the leaves have been caught by one of the late frosts we had?

    If you still want to move it, don't do it until the autumn and winter, after the leaves have dropped.

    Put down some well rotted horse manure and water well every day and all should be better.
    Kind Regards

    I've got a mock orange and it gets sun for about half the day and my mum's is in full sun all day and they are both fine, infact I'm sure that when I got them the blurb said that it likes to be in a sunny position.
