Nuts. Now is fine. Dig them up and transplant them. You may lose
a few, because they are prone to rot in wet autumns and winters, but
typically not enough to matter.

Keep the soil saturated :-(

If you blink while passing a clump of grape hyacinths, a new one will
grow. I thought that everyone knew that?
