just wondering if this ground cover can be transplanted now during the warm weather season, since it is drought tolerant
normally I would transplant in the fall
but am wondering if drought tolerant plants might be different in this way
since they can survive with less water, perhaps they could survive a warm weather transplant
thank you for your help

I think it would depend on how attentive you can be, adjusting as needed through the day, as well as your local weather conditions. If scorching hot and dry or daily rain and thunder storms, etc.
Are you willing to put up sunshade etc. automatics drip irrigation etc etc.
It’s not impossible to transplant stuff. It just takes more work. And if you can’t or don’t want to check on it daily and even twice a day as needed, then better off to wait for more forgiving conditions.
(I mean I don’t always go out every day so there are things that are iffy and I shouldn’t start/attempt.)
Some things are super sensitive unless moved while dormant, but I don’t think succulents are.

thank you
I might try moving a few to a pot first, and put the pot where it is easy to watch
if that works, then I will move the rest to pots and then transfer them from the pots to the ground at the new location in the fall
that will get them out of the way so that I can work on making changes to the corner where they are now
yesterday I found some nice groundcover on the clearance shelf and am planting that by the shed, creeping thyme with purple flowers
there were roots growing out of the bottom of the pots so I planted it right away
should perk up soon
I am going to move the sedum album to a hot and dry location in the front
don’t know where it came from, it just showed up and now I have about 2’ x 2’ of it growing in the back
would rather move it than kill it
thanks again for your help
