Too late to transplant Bloodroot Flowers in upper midwest?

Question

I planted half a dozen blood root flowers in what has turned out to be a poor location. If I transplant them now, will they have time to adjust before the first frost, which will be around the end of October?

Answer 1

I agree with Judy but would like to add, to help with transplant shock and to help the plant establish roots before the first frost use a root stimulator (not a rooting hormone) Also plant bloodroot with lots of organic matter.

Answer 2

It is very difficult for any plant to survive transplanting in the heat of August. Wait until at least September. Roots will continue to grow well past the first frost until the ground is frozen solid, for many areas that means it will be establishing roots until late November.
