I planted some daffodils late last year and now have a magnificent show

of
them however I have planted them in the wrong place and wish to move them

to
a better local when they have finished flowering.

Should I lift them when they have finished flowering and then store them
until later in the year or lift them and immediately replant them in the

new
location?


Lift and replant immediately.


Thats going to damage their roots, which will set them back. Much better to
let them die down naturally and then move them, unless you need to move them
asap.

After they have finished flowering, they
will go on growing for a while, and it is this growth that lays the
foundations for next years flowers. Waiting till the leaves died down
naturally, then lifting and storing would be OK.


Would be better. Obviously.
