I have found Maltese Cross easiest to move in the very early spring when you first notice it coming up.

I too have issues with MC not increasing and being a rather 'thin' plant. Last summer I started emptying out the seed pods on the ground when MC is finished flowering. I am hoping this will help to increase the number of flower stalks and bulk up this gorgeous plant.
