I had a big clump of H. coccineus in the garden which I dug up to transplant. The clump broke into about 4 pieces. I just planted them where I wanted to and was worried I might lose them. In fact they never looked back, just took off and throve. When I mentioned that on Facebook, James Shields commented that any he transplanted when dormant, died, that they like being transplanted in full growth.
