Daffodils, Can you move them now or should I wait?

I have a cluster of them on one side of my walk way and would like to spread them out a bit. I live in Southeast Kansas, so we are still not clear of freezing temps. They have started blooming and so I was wanting to know if I should wait to move them or is it OK to move them now? Thanks

Daffodils, Can you move them now or should I wait?
Wait until mid-October. Did mine last fall, North central KS here.
Reply:Wait untile the leaves die back completely. You can dig and replant them then. Now would probably kill them.
Reply:You need to wait until after the plants flower and the leaves turn brown. While the leaves are still green, they are gathering "food" for next year's flowers.





Then you can carefully dig them up and replant with some bloodmeal under them to encourage root growth.





I do this every other year to "expand" my collection!
Reply:Trying to move them now would do serious damage to the plant. The time to move or divide bulbs is in the Fall after the plants have gone completely dormant.

I think you can ask them. they have a feature called Ask The Flower Expert. Once i asked them about a 1 flowers they gave answer.
