Well - enough replies to encourage me to plant my two new ones in the space that is yet to be vacated by the golden leafed one.
Thank you all.

As a precaution before moving yours you could take some cuttings? I took half a dozen last year and they all took. Well you are clearly a better gardener then me - have tried and tried - but never get them to go.
dont have much trouble with other stuff - just this one that I would like to hang on to! Maybe just lucky? I'm not always that lucky - I often pull them up to check and damage things 
I think the trick is timing...and just being left somewhere. Though I always find the fancier the variety the harder to grow or propagate.
I love sedum - the green one is prolific here - I bought a black ( or very nearly) it's not done that wel at all. Likewise - very much like sedum. Just treated myself to a tiny little sedum “Touchdown Teak”. Hope it’s not too pernickety

My philadelphus Virginal arrived today. Can't say I am to impressed as it is a stick in a pot of compost  . When I am in Poundland next I think I will pick up the Virginal Philadephus there. Even though its not in a pot, it's a bigger 'stick' than the one I have just received. Good little experiment to test a bare rooted against a potted plant!
