Moving chives

Found a clump of flowering chives in the garden. Is it alright to dig up and plant elsewhere as I need to clear that patch of ground.

yes, they move easily

Just take as much soil with the roots as you can - less disturbance. Cheers, Tony.

I started with one tiny clump, just been out to check and now there's seven, they've taken over the old Butler sink they started out in.
