or will I harm them by removing them before they flower?.... and will they survive the trauma/shock I feel I must be puttting them through? Thank you
They are iris, crocus, daffodil, freesia and more. I also have a beautiful Caribean Lily in bloom now- I am wanting to snip the petals flowers and leaves and take only the bulbs.
Thank you.
Spring bulbs blooming %26amp; I am moving. Can I remove bulbs from ground and take w/me to new home for next year?
Yes you can, but they will not bloom again for the rest of the year. They could also go dormant for up to 3 years. You may or may not get them next year. In this situation, patience is best. You definatley wont kill them though, not unless you cut damage the bulbs themselves. Alot of people don't know that bulbs are actually very hardy... it's the blooms that are hard to take care of! Make sure that when you plant them for next year that you plant them in the fall.
Reply:I agree with Misty but I just wanted to add not to cut the tops off if you are going to put them back in the ground now. If you cut them leave about 1" or more stem %26amp; store them in the basment %26amp; keep them dry untill fall.
Reply:Take everything that you love ...Don't leave those special flowers behind. Just dig them out in clumps and do not distub the soil. Replant at your new home.
Reply:sure just secure them good, that they don't get broken in pieces or destroy
Reply:You may just dig the root the whole ways out so you can transplant it.
