Transplanting Native Violets for Hillside Ground Cover

Zone 6 PA gardener has volunteer blue violets (likely native) under grill, wants to move to hillside as ground cover. When and how?

Transplant Advice

Can move now: cultivate soil 8" deep, plant 1 ft apart, water with dilute fertilizer.
Early spring (when growth starts) also works.
They self-seed and will fill in.
