Matt, I'm in central Ohio, zone 6, and my lily of the valley usually doesn't show up for a couple more weeks, yet. We've got daffs just finishing up, tulips coming out, my hosta are about 5 inches tall, the bleeding hearts are setting blooms, the redbuds are just starting to show their blooms, tall bearded iris are about 10 inches tall, lilacs just setting buds. I'd wait another week or two before replanting your lily of the valley.

I always thought it popped up early, but there's no sign of two small patches in our yard, or a friends. Some thing had been munching on a pulmonaria in one of the same beds, but the hostas look great?! What the heck eats pulmonaria? Hostas are up 5-6 inches, lilacs and redbuds are blooming and even the crepe myrtle and the rose of sharon are beginning to leaf out.
