If you like it where it is, then just prune it.
In fact, if it is done blooming, go ahead and whack it back right now about 2/3rds. It won't hurt it at all. It will bloom again.

It's still blooming - in fact it really just started to bloom. So, I don't want to hack it right now.
I do prune it way down every year, but it is still too big for this location and it hasn't been there very long (only about 2 years). So, I would like to just relocate it to a place where it won't be in my way backing out of the driveway all summer long!
