Moving tulips

[Steve & Erin]

When is the best time to move tulips? They are almost finished blooming and
I would like them in a different spot next year.

Thanks in advance-

For a minute there I thought we had a new subspecies--something like a Walking
Iris, which spread happily in a small side plot in my garden (New Orleans).

Wait until all the foliage has died back before digging, but be sure to mark
the area so that you won't lose track of where they are. After they die
back, dig up the bulbs, and you can either replant immediately into the new
destination, or you can store them in a cool, dry place until September or
October and plant them then.

Let the foliage die back first then dig up and either replant now or in
the fall.
