Moving miscanthus grass: spring or fall

Boston, MA

I have some small clumps of miscanthus grass; I want to move these to better sun. Should i do this in fall or wait until spring?

Hello.

I think now would be a good time of year to move this type of ornamental grass. We have two different varieties that we are planing to move next week as they have gotten huge. I think it would be best to cut the grass back and move the clump, getting as large a root ball as possible. Anything left will quickly come back and fill in the spot again.

Good luck. ☺

Have either of you moved ornamental grass before? Just wait! It took me 2 weeks of digging a little at a time to remove a clump that had been in place for only a year! The smaller clumps took less time, but I was dragging when I finished......
