Moving, can I store plants?

We are moving from Missouri to Virginia. I have hostas and elephant ears (lots). Can I dig them up and store them till spring and can you tell me how, please? I hate to leave behind 5 years of work. We are moving in 2 weeks and we’ll be in a place for a month I won’t be able to plant anything. Thank you so much, it would really help me to get your advice. Debbie

Your Hosta can be planted into pots and moved.

Elephant Ear bulbs can be lifted and stored.
Here are some links with more information.
