Hi all, Now would do for transplanting Lycoris bulbs. If they are blooming, you could at least find them! Lycoris chinensis, sprengeri, and longituba are in bloom now. L. caldwellii is about to bloom. All these are spring-growing, so they can be transplanted any time between ca. July and January, depending on your climate. I never disturb them when they are in leaf, so I flag the location of the bulbs I want to move, either when they are in leaf or when they are in bloom. I prefer to move these Lycoris in September or October. Be careful to preserve as many roots on each bulb as possible.
