What type of plant is this? It was planted by a professional landscaper 3 years ago who told me what it was but I’ve forgotten.
It is starting to crowd out the irises but I want to keep it. Can it be transplanted and when is a good time to do it?

This looks like Itea virginica, a native shrub. There are several species and height and width can vary. You can transplant in the spring or fall. Here is more about it http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=286893
