When is the best time to transplant daffodils?

I have "volunteer" daffodils that were here when I moved in--they're in clumps so large that many of them aren't blooming. I'd like seperate and transplant some of them. How/when should I do this?

The 'how to garden manual' will tell you to wait until fall...or when the bulbs are dormant. I will tell you I have transplanted in spring just as the foliage emerged and had beautiful blooms that same year. :)


If the clumps are so dense they aren't flowering, there is a good chance they aren't getting much in the way of nutrients either. I would dig them up, seperate them, and replant.


To get a 'natural' look, toss a handful on the ground and plant them where they land. They want have that little soldiers all in a row kinda look.


Hope this helps.
