For most plants, late fall or early spring is the best time of year to consider transplanting.
Andrew says: 'In early spring, they typically emerge from a natural period of dormancy over winter and are ready for new growth and development over the weeks and months ahead.
'I recommend transplanting on a cool and overcast day where possible, to minimize stress on the plant.'
'It will cause less stress to the plants if you can move them when the temperatures are cool and there is a good amount of rain, which tends to occur more in the spring or fall,' agrees Amber.
