Even if the flowers and foliage wilt upon transplant - which is very likely - I would venture to say that, if the bulb sections are big enough, they will sprout again the following year. This is an extremely vigorous plant which will spread extensively once it gets started. I compost a goodly amount of it every spring just to keep it in check, yet I'm still inundated by it (in a good way ... sort of). If you wait too long in the spring to transplant, the above ground foliage will disappear and be difficult to find. I would wait until the flowers start to fade and do the transplant then. The foliage will probably wilt but the plants should grow and flower fine the next year. This is actually a very difficult plant to get rid of once you have it, lol.

hey ma ... its raining here in MI ... do it in the middle of a rain shower ... take a hand trowel .. and dig a few holes where you want them ... then take an empty flat or tray .. and take hand trowel sized plugs ... and go plug them in ... i dont suggest you do it this hot steamy morning ... but later in the afternoon ... when the rain is forecast .... if you cant find a rainy day ... water them deeply in the morning ... on a cloudy day.. and move them a few hours later ... its all about not being in sun.. on a hot day.. when you move them .. make sense ??? its all about them being turgid ... full of water.. and ready to go ... this is a general rule for ALL plants ... besides.. you have a lot of them .. so if you lose some.. so what .. just dont move all of them.. all at once.. and then kill them all .. a failsafe approach ... ken

Probably neither and definitely not Virginia bluebells. I would guess Hyacinthoides hispanica or a hybrid of that. English bluebells are rarely sold. I purchased what was labeled that a few years ago but when they flowered, they were not Hyacinthoides non-scripta. The bulb supplier agreed it was not as advertised and sent me some other types of bulbs for their error.

I would transplant in the fall. The roots might get damaged if they stayed in the pots all winter.
