bluebells - can I move them

Hello , I have loads of bluebells dotted around the garden and some of them are in the wrong place , can I move them as they are 'in the green' now , each year I say i will move them but forget and I really should do it now.

Well, it should be okay if you can dig up a clump of earth with them and not disturb the roots more than necessary. I've managed this before with tulips and daffs in flower in the spring, when I should have moved them the previous autumn.

Yes, they'll be perfectly OK to dig up now and replant. In fact, I find that almost any time of the year is OK to move them. I've got bluebells dotted around all over the place and whatever the time of year (even when they're actually flowering) I've dug them up and relocated them. They're pretty hardy suvivalists and keep producing new bulbs from the parent plants.
