| Oh, you can transplant them. When I moved to this house, I had a viburnum (not Spring Bouquet) at the old place that had only been in the ground for a year and I dug it, potted it, and transplanted it here with no problem. Then, four years later, we dug it up and transplanted it again to another place in the yard. By that time, it was well over six feet tall and a good four feet wide. It made the change with no problems, though I wouldn't recommend moving a plant that size for your marriage. :) If you do it, do the moving in late fall or very early spring. It's best to dig the new hole first and dig it very wide, adding good amendments, etc. Then dig, drag, and replant, instantly watering thoroughly. It took several years to bloom, but it made it fine. |
