I have Bluebells in the front of my garden. They have started to flower. I want to move them to the back garden, will it be ok, or should I leave them until they have died off and then move them?
Any advise please. [dunno]

I've heard you can transplant perennials any time the shovel is sharp. Just be sure to water well before and after.

HI! [wayey]
I've successfully moved Virginia Bluebells in every season except the middle of winter and they all came back. I would suggest, though, waiting until the blooms start to fade as you will surely lose the blooms if transplanted while blooming. Hope this was helpful!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intent of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,
"WHOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!"
