Why not do both. It is still pretty cool so you probably could transplant them without a problem although I wouldn't put them in direct sunlight. Just make sure that you keep them moist until they get established.

Thanks Penny, that's what I thought. I just wanted to hear it from someone else.

I have volunteer shoots of Rose of Sharon throughout my garden. I try to pull most of them up in spring, but when I don't get to them they are woody by August and too tough to remove. They are the hardiest flowers I have ever seen!

For your situation, since they are seedlings, I'd do about anything with them at this stage.

I have about 22 shrubs (about 3' high) prior homeowners planted on a fence line (literally about 2 inches away).

Since they are in bloom now, I'm waiting until next month to move.
