In fact, I don't see any particular reason not
to relocate at any time the foliage isn't showing and the ground isn't
too frozen to dig.

For me, the problem with digging and dividing in the fall is that the bulbs
start to put on root growth then, and it's difficult not to damage them.
You need to catch them in late summer/early fall before the roots start to
grow for best results.
