Hello @Nigel 103, Is it Erigeron karvinaskius? the one with the very small pink and white daisy flowers?
if so, yes, it's possible to move them and now would be a good time while the soil is still warm and the ground moist. You will probably find when you investigate that the root ball is not as large as you think, the growth tends to spread a lot. It might be easier to give the plant a good watering, a good haircut then dig it up and plonk it straight into a pre-prepared hole where you want to move it to. It might look a bit limp for a week or two but should then perk up.
I agree, the root ball won't be that big. It'll move fine, you could probably even split it if you want more. If you cut the top growth right back to a few inches you'll be able to see what's what.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I've moved big clumps and they settled just fine. They like very well drained soil. They don't want much to be sodden or puddled over winter. Full sun. But I dare say you know all that.

Good luck!
