Probably so, but not at this time of year. Any transplanting of plants is best done in the dead of winter when they are dormant. You will send the plant into shock and possibly kill it by trying to move them. Being that tall, have you thought of digging them out and starting fresh with new ones in a better location? They grow wild here, so I am curious as to your situation.
