Answer
Donna,
I would recommend waiting until the fall or early winter or once the weather has cooled back down. Transplanting them now would require that you water them almost constantly going into the summer.
Try to dig up a large root ball on all the plants and have the new site prepared so they can go right into their new home.
Fertilize them about 2 weeks before you plan to move them to make sure they are as healthy as possible.
Good luck.
