Default Dividing / Relocating Crocosmia.

I have a clump of Crocosmia which has been in the way when I access my
runner beans, and I propose to move the corms to a border in the front
garden, for an easy colour splash next summer.

The online info I found says "divide between March and May" so I'm too
late for that. * * Should I lift the corms and store over winter, or
just transplant them, and if so, when?
Advice please?

You can move them when you like, I move mine in Autumn as they rapidly
increase. I now have them everywhere, so the neighbours are
profiting. Mine are Crososmia Lucifer, big things.

There is no need to store over winter, they are so hardy it would take
more than weed killer to shift them. HTH.
