Default Hebe

I planted this gorgeous New Zealand shrub by the side porch (Eastern
exposure) , but it is getting too big for the site.
I would like to move it out front (Northern exposure) where I need a
big plant.

But I have spent a long time looking in vain for info on the Web
about how it takes transplantation.
I am generally a successful transplanter, but don't want to mess with
an expensive plant
if it isn't happy with moving house.

Any experience out there?

This is So.Calif coastal, about a mile from the beach
in Santa Monica

TIA

Hebes grow very easily from cuttings and grow fast; I'd just cut off
some stems and stick them in the ground where you want a new plant.
Next year when you are sure at least one of them has taken , you can
get rid of the old plant.


Or try moving it somewhere just for the experience.
