Can I take a plantings with me after selling?

I know, it sounds petty... but can I take a couple outdoor plants with me after selling? There's some I've worked really hard to nurture and grow. I'd really like to take them with me to my new home. I'm happy to replace them with something else for the buyer. I don't want to turn off a buyer, but I'd really like to take the plants with me.
