Blueberries need an acid soil so I keep mine in pots of ericaceous compost and I sink the pots into the ground.  If your plot is acid they should be fine to transplant now.  If it's not acid, you could do the same as I have or dig out a big hole and create an acid environment in it.

I moved two of my potted blueberry bushes last November.

Dug two large holes, filled with horse manure and ericaceous compost watered in plants and covered.

This year I had lots of large blueberries - a complete success.

I would wait another month or two if I were you and the sap levels will die back and then it will be the perfect time for planting.

Good luck!
