Moving bulbs

Post by funkychick » Sun May 14, 2017 9:40 pm

I ve had quite a few bluebells come up in the 'wrong place' on footpaths etc ? I know I mustn't move until they have died down from flowering but does anyone know if it's best to dig them up let them dry and replant in the Autumn early winter or do I just transplant them straight away after they die down ? thanks

Royal Horticultural Society website wrote:Some bulbs, such as winter aconites, bluebells and snowdrops, are thought to be best planted, moved or divided ‘in the green’, when flowering is over but they are still in leaf. However, dried bulbs are often offered and can be successful.
