    Do you prune them? These plants bloom best when pruned yearly. You can prune them back by a third to a half in late winter or early spring.

    You can, but get as much of the root ball as possible and give it a pretty severe pruning when you move it. This will help ensure that it survives.

    Hardy varieties can tolerate winters in warmer climates, but many are overwintered indoors or at least given added protection, like mulch, outside. I find it better to deadhead flowers in order to promote additional blooming, but this is strictly up to you.

    It will probably lose the leaves, but as long as the stems survived, they will regrow their leaves fairly quickly. Give it some time to recover and it should look lovely again in no time.

    Yes, this is the most common way to propagate them. Here is more information on how to do that:
