transplanting candytuft

Has anyone done it successfully? I had a border of them (about 15 plants) that I needed to move back about a foot. I bought them bare root last year so this is their second season. I waited for them to finish blooming and tried to keep a large rootball intact. I have read that candytuft does not like to be transplanted..... Anything I can do to help them along? What do you think their chances are?

Yes, I have moved them successfully and also dug up rooted parts and moved those. I find it to be a tough, hardy plant.
But keep it watered.

They are tough as nails. Even grow in the cracks in my driveway.
