Hi Diane,

I have experience with these and NO they do not transplant easily. They
hate being disturbed, so if you must move them do so VERY carefully and get
as much of the root ball as possible, keep them moist while recovering, and
be prepared to go a year without flowers or very few. They do come back
slowly, I had one that I divided and left in a large nursery pot that
finally came back after 6 months and had one flower stalk this year. The
smaller sections that I attempted to save from the division did not
survive.

Good luck!!
