Add Your Opinion About This Plant Member8170 (486) wrote on Nov 27 2009 Voice of experience - While they can be transplanted they do not take well to moving as other plants do. Good idea to be sure where you want to plant them before doing so. I like this opinion 2 people like this opinion Tammyd (1215) wrote on Sep 14 2009 Rating for this plant: A wonderful plant.
