Must move my Spiderwort plants

Question

I know it is not the ideal time for this, but because we are having our driveway worked on, I have to move the row of spiderwort plants that are at the edge of the driveway. Please advise on the best way to do this successfully. Thank you.

Answer 1

Have your new site ready before you dig up the spiderwort. Plan the move during the coolest part of the day to alleviate some stress on the plant. Make sure to get as much of the roots as possible and keep them from drying out till you get them in the new spot. Water well after replanting. Here is more information:
