how far is the move ...

you are adding a heck of a lot of additional work.. on top of moving house.. if you get carried away.. on any level ..

did you mean CUTTINGs.. or do you mean divisions??? .. i would not mess with cuttings that need to be rooted .... and many of those you like.. are not rootable .. with any ease ...

if you insist.. get some GOOD media ... ask at a high quality nursery.. ask what they use.. ask if they will sell you a bag ...

shop their recycle bin for some pots ... or ask to buy them .. if they have any around ....

moisten the media .. take your division ... pot it .. place in bright shade until move ...

upon arrival.. place in shade ... take a month or 3 to set up house ... in fall ... build beds around the patio .. install plants ... i would not get to worried about perfect placement .. you can move them again next spring.. unless you have experience with over wintering pots.. mother earth is best ... easiest ... even just a 5 foot square nursery bed.. is better than pots in winter ...

expect to lose them all ... and be happy with whatever result you end up with ... most are bulletproof ... personally.. i wouldnt bother with the coral bells ... they were a pretty foo foo plant for me ... and easily replaceable ...

whatever you do ... dont go spending 5 bucks.. moving a plant you can replace for 3 .... except for peace of mind.. keep the cost/benefit ration in mind .. and never forget .. you will be having to set up the house ... not puttering in the yard ...

I'm moving soon, and I'm only taking plants that are difficult to find, expensive, or the handful that have sentimental value. My time is worth more than what I would pay for run-of-the-mill plants, plus don't forget you have to factor in cost of potting materials (media and pots or bags, if you don't have them) - like Ken said, don't pay 5 bucks for something you can get for 3.

I moved most of my perennials from my last house to this house. You know what? I have only a very few left that I can think of -- one peony and some Halcyon hosta, plus I have one tree peony. Everything else I took either didn't do well at this house for whatever reason and were shovel-pruned, or I found they didn't work well with my new beds/design. So, sometimes its best to start fresh. If it's not too many plants, go for it as long as you're not spending more than the plants are worth, but don't take the bulk of garden, you'll probably end up discovering it wasn't worth it.
