The problem is that's not the only plant commonly called "Mexican Hats".

The name is also given to several different succulents and other plants as
well.

Ratibida columnaris can be transplanted, but don't always survive. If you
do,
take the largest clump of soil with it as you can and make sure the ground
is
moist when you dig them out. Do not dig out dry soil with dry roots.

What in the freak are you calling "Mexican Hats"?

Use the proper scientific name if you expect an intelligent reply,

I have some Mexican Hats that are well established in my pole garden
(called
a pole garden because there is a birdhouse pole in the middle of it).
The
foliage has already started coming up in one big clump, and I'd like to
move
it. They are pretty plants, but tend to take over too much area, so I'd
like
to move them where they can have all the room they want. My question
is...can I just dig up the whole big clump and transplant it to another
area, or will this kill them?

Thanks for any info
Angie
