Digging up perfectly good tulips (was Moving tulips)
"Frogleg" wrote in message In fact, I don't see any particular reason not to relocate at any time the foliage isn't showing and the ground isn't too frozen to dig. For me, the problem with digging and dividing in the fall is that the bulbs start to put on root growth then, and it's difficult not to damage them. You need to catch them in late summer/early fall before the roots start to grow for best results. cheers, Sue Zone 6, Southcentral PA |

(Pittsburgh PA, Zone 5/6 southern exposure, clay soil) We planted in fall of 98 and they come back year after year. not sure why you dig them down in georgia... unless you mean georgia in the former USSR... Maybe they need a more severe winter than they get in GA. Winter in PA and winter in GA are pretty different. billo |
