I once rejuvenated an old heather bed by simply lifting the plants and
burying them deeper. Last I heard was that some 5 years later they
were still growing and flowering happily.
These are abot 24-30inches high and the though of
trying to dig them in even half that depth worries me!
You could try pining them down and top dressing the bed with 2 or 3
inches of peat (Yes I did say peat)mixed with sharp sand to give it some
weight, about 20% sand to peat by volume.
They should root into it in a few months and no heavy pruning to be done
