I agree with Jill.

When I move mature clumps within my yard, I like to keep as much of a dirt clump around the roots as I can. Seems to due less damage to the fine roots. But people clean and trim the roots for shipping all the time. Your plant should be fine.

I want to say Miracle Gro makes a product called Quick Start or something like that for newly moved or plants replanted from a garden center. It's a liquid, if you go looking for it. I've used it and my plants seem to like it when I've stressed them.

And people will argue with this, but I feel if you want to promote root growth, let them dry a little between waterings. Maybe water every 3-4 days, if mother nature doesn't do it in between. My theory is it forces the planr to spend a little more energy regrowing those little roots looking for water. I never water more than once every three days, even for seedlings, shipped plants, and transplants. My record is pretty good.
