When is the best time to transplant daffodils?

Question

I have "volunteer" daffodils that were here when I moved in--they're in clumps so large that many of them aren't blooming. I'd like seperate and transplant some of them. How/when should I do this?

Answer 1

The 'how to garden manual' will tell you to wait until fall...or when the bulbs are dormant. I will tell you I have transplanted in spring just as the foliage emerged and had beautiful blooms that same year. :)
If the clumps are so dense they aren't flowering, there is a good chance they aren't getting much in the way of nutrients either. I would dig them up, seperate them, and replant.
To get a 'natural' look, toss a handful on the ground and plant them where they land. They want have that little soldiers all in a row kinda look.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

ultimate element to due is decrease the flower after it fades this might help the daffodil focus extra potential to the bulb somewhat of dropping it generating a seed, after slicing the flower wait until eventually the plant starts off to vanish, in the previous digging it up, whether it somewhat is a mature bulb you could rinse it off with water, then air dry for some days then replant, in all different circumstances keep the bulb in a cool dry place until eventually the fall for planting. tip. its complicated to kill a daffodil, whether it has withstood allot of trauma you could replant and it will revive itself in a million or 2 years
