Ironweed

FINALLY! There is one lone Ironweed plant growing in my horse pasture. I've seen them everywhere else but my house and now I have one. I love this thing!

Obviously, I live in the country. In my flowerbeds, I let wildflowers grow where I haven't planted anything (and I often let the more decorative wildflowers fill in around my other flowers).

I would like to move this Ironweed to where I can see it. I have loads of butterflies and hummingbirds that come and I've read that they like this plant, too. Is there a way to transplant this Ironweed without killing it? Should I wait until Spring? Do it now? Don't do it and just collect seed?

Thanks!
