Moving Heleniums in the Autumn

Has anyone moved Helenium plants in the autumn and they have survived?
I would like to reorganise a flower bed in the autumn when they have finished flowering and move them into another area of the garden. Information on the web says Heleniums are best moved and divided in the spring when they are actively growing. The weather is quite mild in the winter where I live. I just want to move the plants not divide them. Should I chance it?

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Building a garden is very personal. It's not quite the same as installing a boiler.

I get the new planting hole dug out and ready, allowing more room than l think l will need. It's easier to fill in rather than faff about digging out more.
Make sure you get as much of the rootball as possible and move them so quickly that they don't even realise that they've been moved
I can leave till Spring if that's better. I'm in the North of England.
