I am certainly not an expert in your zones, but I would think that you would
want to transplant as soon as possible to allow them to establish good root
systems before the cold sets in. The other rule of thumb is wait 6-8 weeks
after bloom to let them build strength for next seasons bloom, but in your
short growth season the two "rules of thumb" may collide in the middle.
