I live in London UK and have just got a new house. Where I want to put
a pond there are loads of daffodils emerging. Can these be moved
safely ? If so how ?




I moved ALL my clumps of daffodils in spring after I moved to Eastern
Tennessee the previous late summer. Dig them in clumps with the soil
attached, like clods. Plant them in holes the same depth and they'll
never know they were moved. If you loosen the soil and expose the bulbs,
they won't bloom this year but will next. I moved ALL of my several
hundreds of bulbs in clumps and they kept growing and bloomed with NO
problems. The advice given is the best except they WILL bloom if you
dig deeply enough. Eight inches down or spade depth is best. Try not to
dislodge the soil and have your holes ready.
madgardener who has done this before many, many times, even moving
clumps from Mary Emma's that she didn't want and they were bud tight and
they STILL bloomed because I dug a clump instead of exposing the bulbs!
