Moving a bleeding heart plant?

[goddess40]

What time of year would be best. I'm in central Wisconsin. The leaves are yellowing so it's starting to go dormant.

1. I moved mine in the fall last year. It was pretty brown by then.

It came up gangbusters this year. I'm in east central NY.

2. Thanks, I give it a try

it's lost in my front yard bed and it blooms profusely, I think a more open spot in the backyard will work better.

3. Just keep the rootball together when digging and moving.

If you do that you will have a healty plant in the spring. Happy Gardening!

4. I've heard they don't like being moved

So good luck.

5. I've moved them in both fall and spring

Mine are pretty hardy though so I could toss them in the street and they'd survive without issue. :) If you move them in the fall, I'd just make sure you mulch/protect them over winter and they should be fine.
