Is your spot in mostly shade? Broadleaf plantain needs that to thrive. I have not tried transplanting, but have had succes with over seeding in locations where I wanted it.
Its a well drained spot - so while it gets lots of water in winter, it isn't usually marshy. I'm moving it from an area about 20 feet away, so very similar. I'll try grabbing seeds and overseeding!
