    Hello Marie; I only do this in the very early Spring when everything is still dormant.

    I hope that this helps you! Take Care!

    early fall is the best. They have a chance to get settled in before they rest for the season, then come spring they should pick right up and begin growing.

    I do mine in the fall before a frost or freeze to insure roots get a good start in their new home. I live in zone 8 where we have heat sometimes till November, so I don't want to lose my plants. If you plant early spring, depending on the plant, you will have no flowers until the next year. You lose an entire year of blooms.

    The best time is spring, or late summer into fall.

    In the spring or fall - ideally fall. This is so that extreme weather does not impede the root establishment.

    Spring or fall, but it really depends on your climate zone and type of plant.

  • Typically spring or fall and it can depnd on the item you are moving. What did you have in mind?
