Hi..I have several clumps of daylillies I wanted to move from the bed they're in to another spot. I live in central Ga. , can I dig these up now & pot them up to have them ready to go in the spring or won't they live through the winter being potted?

In all climates, the best time to transplant daylilies is in the spring, when the shoots are just beginning to emerge. During this time, cool soil temperatures and gentle spring rains help newly divided or moved plants to recover from transplant shock.
Here is some info to help you. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/transplant-daylilies-39834.html
Hi Lori. The best time of year to transplant daylilies is in early Spring or late Fall. But because daylilies are so hardy, you can transplant them any time and they will probably be ok. To know for sure, you could pot some and leave some where they are. I always cut mine down in the Fall . Good luck Lori. I hope you are well.
Hi Lorrie, your daylillies will thank you for splitting them. It's best to do it after they've flowered in the Fall or early Winter before it gets really cold. Just dig the whole clump up, shake off the excess soil, and pull the clumps apart with your hands. Trim any leaves so they're about a hand's height and then replant them. They probably won't flower in the first year while they're settling in, but by the second year they'll put on their normal beautiful display again.

Hello. I would dig them up and transplant them now.
That would be your choice. Here’s a link that might be helpful

Check with your local nursery for info.
I usually, successfully, transplant mine once they are done blooming. Good luck and stay safe!

You should be okay but they not bloom for a year.
