Probably a very naiive question, but is it ok to repot plants when they are in flower or is it best to wait until they're finished flowering? A few weeks ago I bought a hebe plant and a french lavender plant. I put them straight outside and left them in the pots I bought them in, just standing them in some slightly larger plastic pots so that they look a bit better and I can water them from the bottom. They are both in full flower at the moment but I'd like to put them both in bigger pots (they are currently just stood on the ground so are a bit low down) but I'm not sure whether that's a good idea right now.

Repotting things when in flower?

Thanks. I don't want to put them in huge pots but I'd like them to be higher so maybe I'll go for a taller pot that isnt a lot wider - would that overwhelm the roots? The plastic pots they are in are quite small and I think they are both ready for something a bit bigger but the height thing is the most important for me from an aesthetic point of view. But I don't want to kill them off.
