: I live in West Virginia, my lack eyed susans are in full bloom, they are to tall , were i have them now. Could i move them now or should i wait till fall, or sping to move them?

I don't know which ones you have. If it's the variety 'goldsturm', you could probably move them in bloom. If you have any other variety, I would suggest waiting until spring if you want the birds to be able to get the seeds this winter. Otherwise, you could move them in the fall after bloom. Do cut them back by at least half.

Good luck,
Newt
