I have an astilbe that's hidden by a shrub (the shrub expanded
quicker than
anticipated). The astilbe's flowers are hidden, so can I dig up the
astilbe
and move it? I know it's not the right time of year to be moving
perennials
but it's a shame not to be able to see it.

You would be wiser to just forgo this year's flowers and move the
astilbe some time between latwe autumn and early spring.
