It appears from all the comments that they can be little toughies!! As I said I thought Lorna would lose her few after the front garden being cleared/dug/weeded etc. but bless em they are still there.

Have to say that mine are not only thriving after being transplanted in the green but transplanted while in flower.  Took enough soil around them that the little beauties didn't even know that they had moved house ;)

Been thinking about doing similar with a couple of clumps i have that are hidden away and not very visible (you have to look for them). They wre the first in flower yet i never noticed them!

Move them while they're visible. As long as you do it with as little root disturbance as possible, and replant immediately, they'll be quite happy. It's when they're sent through the post and spend a while out of the soil that it weakens them.
