Can I dig up a piece of rose campion before it blooms to give to someone?

Question

I want to give someone one of my rose campions; it hasn’t bloomed yet. Would it be OK to dig it up and give it? Please add me to your list, it’s not letting me do it.  Thank you.

Answer 1

Rose Campion blooms in late spring to early summer so your plants may already be blooming. The best time to dig plants for giveaway is soon after they emerge in the spring when the foliage is still young. If the plant is not blooming yet, go ahead and dig some for your friend, but they might not bloom this year. You can also save some seed to give her for next year.
