    I would trim it first before transplanting. Just make sure to remove as much of the root ball as possible and if it's really big, get someone to help move the plant. They can be a bit heavy

  • Early Spring or late Fall are the best times to transplant, Lucille.

    Yes go ahead and trim it first. I transplanted some once - just be sure to dig way around the bottom to get all of the root ball. This was a 2 person job for me for sure. But we moved the hydrangeas into a less sunny area and it was totally worth it! Good luck!

    Thank you. There is a beautiful “Pinky Winky” blocking the front of my home. I have a better place for it but I didn’t know when to move it. I have three strong men

    to do it.
