Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do right? I have this one too and it is not what I would call a dark purple, more of a smokey purple/red violet color. It will probably sulk but if it needs moving sooner is better than later. They have a tap root so dig deep.
After all it is what you like and pleases you that works in the garden I think. I will post a pic.
I have three cimicifuga 'Black Beauty' I think is the cultivar, that has struggled for four or five years. This spring I finally got them moved and they are doing much better. The new location has a bit more sun and less competition from tree roots. I will also be able to get it watered when there is a rain shortage later in the season. Also I will be able to get a sniff of the fragrant white flowers better too. I have them in back of sedum 'Autumn Joy' and I like the combo very much already.
