We've just moved (across town) and I want to take most of my plants with me. We'll put grass sod in the empty spots after I dig out my plants, and apparently you have to plant sod before hot summer weather. This means I have to dig out, carry across town, then re-plant all my plants ASAP - a frightening amount of work. (I'd hoped to do this gradually over the next couple months with the cooperation of whoever buys the old house, but the yard would look terrible with holes left by various plants and spots of sod here and there. So I fear I have to do it all at once so we can make the lawn look decent to help sell the house. BTW, most of the plants are in the backyard, so I'm not removing any 'curb appeal' before we sell.)
Anyhow, here's a list of my plants. None are more than 2 years old because I only started the garden 2 years ago. I've noted plants that are very new (planted last fall) and also what's currently in bloom - I don't want to kill them by digging them up at the wrong time.
----
Astilbe
Lupine (just starting to bloom)
salvia (planted last fall)
hydrangeas
Russian sage
veronica
Sea Holly
allium (in full bloom now)
iris (just starting to bloom)
day lilies (planted last fall)
autumn joy sedum
josee lilac (in full bloom)
verbascum (starting to bloom now)
spirea (planted last fall)
butterfly bush (planted 2 years ago, rather large now)
cleome (I know these are annuals... and they self-seed like crazy)
peony (about to bloom)
toad lily
poppy (planted last fall)

Any advice is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance.
