don't move it. It'll be fine. Why would you want to move it? Is it in the
wrong spot? Not getting enough light? Or you are under the assumption that
it's not hardy for your zone......let us know and we can go from there.

Wrong spot. It's getting too much shade from my joe-pye 'Gateway' right next to
it. This is it's fourth year and every year it's getting fewer and fewer
flowers and didn't get as tall as last year. I also get very few seedlings.
Maybe I'm doing something else wrong. I basically pretty much ignore it except
for some supplemental watering and compost once a year.
