Thanks. I'm glad to hear it will survive. I will trim it down first so it
will be easier to dig up.

And, as to the coreopsis, I didn't think that would be the tricky one, but
will take the precautions that Pat mentioned.

Thanks to you both. Now I just have to wait for the weather to clear up.

I'm no expert on plants, but last year I moved my bleeding hearts out of
the
garden into their own space (they were getting large). I dug them,
wrecked
the roots in the process, and planted them where I wanted them. To my
surprise they sprang up this spring -- not as large as they were last year
but they'll do better next year.

I think I moved them after they bloomed and turned yellow, I cut them down
and dug 'em up. Must have been late summer when I did that.

I can't help w/the coreopsis :-(

I'm very new at gardening. I started with a small patch in the front of
my
house a couple of years ago. Last year I worked on starting my back
garden.
Since then, I've realized I should have my bleeding heart where my
coreopsis
is and vice versa. Neither does it's best where it is. My bleeding heart
is
done blooming (I'm zone 5) and my coreopsis hasn't started yet (not
enough
sun where it is). Can I swap these out now, or do I have to wait til
fall/early spring? I'd hate to miss the season for the coreopsis, but
don't
want to hurt my bleeding heart.
