How can I undo box shearing of a plant

I have a question regarding Loropetalum chinense (Chinese Fringe Flower) and it applies to other plants in my yard as well.

I just moved into a house where there are 3 of Chinese Fringe Flower plants that have been sheared into boxes their entire life. I want to transplant them away from the border of the house.

QUESTION: I was wondering if these plants will be able to grow back into their natural habit again. Is there some type of further pruning that can speed this up or should I just scrap the bushes?
