...as the title says, does anyone know what these are?

When I moved to my new home these were three small plants and we've just left them be and now it's one clump!

Ideally we would now like to move these, any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance!)

    Hello Jane. They are Hebes and if there were three originally you should be able to divide them and move them successfully.

    Hebe.
    The problem with moving them is that the bit in the middle will become the outside of each indvidual plant and will be bald/brown. I'm not sure that they respond well to hard pruning so that bit might stay bare. Someone else may know different.  :)

    They prune well Jane but its best to do it after flowering. Now is a good time to move them - as long as we get no more frost.

    Fab, thank you everyone for your replies :)

    Although I love gardening, I don't have a huge amount of knowledge so your help is really appreciated. 

    Hopefully the weather won't get too bad again and they'll survive the move, I'll also try to keep the 3 together as it's a good point about the middle section.
