Does anyone know if the perennial shown below can be successfully transplanted? I bought them last year but would now like to move them to another location. Any advice/tips/insight?

The name escapes me at the moment but the best times and it depends on the perennial is spring or fall. For late blooming plants spring is normally best because it will have enough energy to bloom. So when ever you do it cut back to 6" above the soil and transplant, cut off any stray roots with shears, if you want to divide do it as well, then dig a hole and use either compost or manure to amend the soil, tamp backfill with the end of your shovel and water. You might want to throw in a handful of bonemeal before you set the plants.
