This spring I planted two rhizomes too close together and they grew intertwined.
Wouldn't be a problem except one is nugget and one is cascade. Now I have a mixed harvest.

Now that they are done for the season, can I dig one up and move it?
Would it be better to wait for the spring?

FYI I'm in central Florida so it is still warm here.
 
Are the roots systems intertwined or just the vines?

If the roots are growing together, I would like as no, mark the two vines with tags that allowed me to keep track, and as carefully as I could, get the whole lot out of the ground and try to separate them. Keep what I could of each of the original crowns, and either chuck or give away the assorted leftover bits of rhizome to folks that wanted them, on the clear basis that ID was uncertain.

But more like than not, I would just chuck 'em, and have at getting the crowns settled back in for the next season.

I would think that spring would be the time, but have no 'Florida' experience. :)
