Growing bloodroot and mayapple

Hi,
I recently got shipped some bloodroot roots and mayapple roots to plant on a piece of land I have. Unfortunately, the land is still covered in snow, so I planted the roots in fabric pots for the time being. Can I transplant partly growing bloodroot and mayapple once the ground is ready?
Thanks!

I don’t know about mayapple, but bloodroot is hardy and forgiving in my limited experience.

Hi Donald! I haven't transplanted bloodroot, but I have successfully moved mayapple and lots of other spring ephemerals in less than ideal conditions. They were in places they would've been destroyed by development, so I had to try, even though some were flowering at the time. I thought they wouldn't make it, but all of them survived and came back the next year. I think as long as you're reasonably gentle with them, put them in a good spot and ensure they're watered, you should be fine. I've found it helpful to put some logs, rocks, or pointy sticks around the new plants to keep creatures from digging them up.
