Can you replant them?

We've moved to a new home and the crocus are EVERYWHERE, but not where we want them to be. Can I move them to a different location?

Can you replant them?
I presume you wish to move them 'in the green'. Bulbs are easily moved in spring—"in the green". Although those still in flower will probably fade faster than those left in the ground.





1. Dig out a clump of bulbs gently with a transplant spade (extra long spade) . Be sure to include a good amount of soil.


2. Dig new hole, enrich with compost and bone meal.


3. Set bulbs in new hole at the same depth as before. Tamp down earth with flat side of spade, water well.
Reply:Probably if you take big clumps of soil with them, not disturbing the roots very much.
Reply:Yes - wait until their season is over and dig up the complete bulb (usually in the fall) and plant them wherever you want.
Reply:you can but I would wait until they have bloomed-goodluck!
Reply:You definitely want to wait until the season is over and dig up the bulbs and then replant where you want them.
Reply:Yes but wait until they have bloomed, and keep them in bunches.
