Jim: Just go to the clumps that aren't blooming, dig them up trying to recover as much root as possible, separate the bulbs and re-plant. In a couple seasons they will be blooming like the other clumps. Crowding of an old clump is the main reason Lycoris stop blooming, or seem to only put up one or two stalks a year. This would be a better time to do it than this spring, but you may have difficulty finding them right now. Best time to transplant would be to wait until foliage is almost completely died back when you still know where they are located. --Kelly -- Mr. Kelly M.
