I have a BOP that is HUGE, it is in a circle bed made into the walkway. The bed is 3 or 4ft wide and the BOP fills it completely. It is blooming(it blooms most of the year) and some of the leaves are ugly. It is way over crowded. Can I dig some of it up to give it more room? Can I cut it back to make it prettier?

Here is a picture of it two years ago, it's grown a lot since then.
