These shrubs have a relatively shallow root system and as a result they are resentful of any disturbance, making transplanting somewhat tricky. Depending on the variety you choose, its overall height and width will vary with dwarf types ranging from 2-5 feet high and 3-4 feet wide. Others may be anywhere from 5-10+ feet tall with spreads between 4-6 feet or more.
