Transplanting Colchicums

My colchicums are flowering prolifically. Some are growing in what I 
fear is too much shade - trees do that, over time. The flowers are pale 
and flop over on the ground.

All the advice is to move them in summer as the leaves wither away. But 
that means a starving, low light growing situation while the leaves feed 
the corms.

How terrible would it be to move them as soon as the flowers wither 
away, so next spring-into-summer growing season would provide more energy?

Judy in western New Jersey, where yesterday I shoved all the pots of 
Eucomis autumnalis into the basement, even though they are still very 
green. It has been quite dry, and rooftop night temperatures as low as 
32.0 degrees Fahrenheit. Time to hibernate!
